Category: Gun Grabbing Fascists

I’m sure you remember the murder last week of Kathryn Steinle on Pier 14 in San Francisco by an illegal alien and convicted felon who had a firearm that was stolen from a Federal law enforcement agent’s car. Well, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors member Mark Farrell has a solution. No, it’s not repealing their status as a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens, it’s video-taping all gun and ammunition sales according to KTVU. Of course, it will be easier than you might think – San Francisco has just one gun dealer within their jurisdiction, High Bridge Arms.

“We want to make sure the city has the best laws in place for gun control,” said Farrell.

KTVU asked Farrell if the proposed law was necessary given there it would currently affect just the one business.

“It certainly applies to the gun store that exists today. But we have heard of additional stores over time trying to come into the city,” Farrell said.

Police Chief Greg Suhr told KTVU by text that he supports the idea because it would make guns and ammunition easier to trace.

Yeah, so the next illegal alien who steals a gun from a Federal agent will be required to video tape the theft, I suppose, or he’ll be in violation of this new ingenious law. You know, because stealing and murder aren’t against the laws already. But, I’m sure everyone on the Board of Supervisors and the people who elected them will feel better about themselves, and isn’t that what really counts?

The New York Times reports that a “flaw” in the background check process cleared Dylann Roof, the ritard that murdered nine folks in Charleston, to purchase a handgun. It wasn’t really a “flaw” in the system, it was a “flaw” in the FBI. When the gun dealer made the call for Roof’s background check, the FBI flagged the purchase because they needed more time to check on him. Because the FBI didn’t get to work on the problem, three days later (their time limit to check on the flagged information) Roof picked up his gun. So, the “flaw’ was that the FBI, the agency responsible for the NICS system, didn’t do their job. All they had to do was make a phone call to the local PD, but I guess they were too busy.

But, they feel bad about it;

Many major national gun dealers, like Walmart, will not sell the weapon to the buyer if they do not have an answer from F.B.I., but many smaller stores will.

“We are all sick this happened,” said the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey. “We wish we could turn back time.”

Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. had begun informing the victims’ family members on Friday about the breakdown. He also said he had ordered the bureau’s inspections division to conduct a review of the incident and report its findings to him within 30 days.

Oh, and another flaw in the system; Roof should have informed the dealer that he was facing drug charges, but he didn’t. If we cant trust criminals to be truthful, who can we trust?

Now, if there is legislator out there who wants to address this shortfall, I can go along with it. If they want to force the FBI to do what they’re supposed to do, I’m all for it. three days is enough time, it’s reasonable, but I’d even give them five days, if they’ll do it in five days. I’d even go along with not selling the gun to someone who gets flagged (I used to get flagged every time because of my security clearance – but it only involved another phone call). But, I’d only go along with it if the FBI is forced to do their jobs in a timely manner if it would keep the Dylann Roofs of the world from getting a gun.

Here’s my problem with writing new legislation, though. Some little inbred shit like Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer would corrupt the original intent of the legislation with some crap designed to give us a backdoor to national registration. You know, like they did last time.

You’ve probably heard the story of Francisco Sanchez who murdered Kathryn Steinle at Pier 14 in San Francisco last week. He claims that he found the gun wrapped in a shirt and when he picked it up, it began shooting all by itself, murdering the hapless Ms. Steinle. The Christian Science Monitor asked how Sanchez could get a gun, you know, since he was a seven-time convicted felon who had been deported five times back to his Mexican home. The gun-grabbers are quick to blame our lack of background checks and controls on legitimate gun owners;

Advocates of gun control have long argued for more regulation around who can own and purchase firearms, as well as around permits needed to carry a concealed weapon in public – and have fought harder to do so after incidents such as the San Francisco pier shooting and last month’s killing of nine people at a church in Charleston, S.C by a lone gunman.

“Every day, 88 lives are lost in shootings across our nation,” Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement following the Charleston incident.

“Most of these tragedies are preventable through sensible solutions that just keep guns out of the wrong hands,” he added, “solutions like expanding Brady background checks on all gun sales, and shutting down the small number of ‘bad apple’ gun dealers that supply almost all crime guns.”

I agree completely, especially in light of the news that the gun, until a month ago, belonged to a federal law enforcement agent when it was liberated from that agent’s vehicle somehow.

The gun used by a Mexican illegal immigrant when he allegedly shot dead a 32-year-old woman at a San Francisco pier belonged to a federal agent, a source confirmed to Fox News Tuesday.

It was not immediately clear how Francisco Sanchez, 45, would have obtained the weapon. However, the San Francisco Chronicle reported sources told the paper the gun had been stolen during a car burglary in June.

So, here we have a guy who has been deported five times, convicted of felonies seven times who steals a gun from an LEO’s automobile. But, apparently, more stringent background checks on legitimate gun owners would have prevented him from stealing that gun and shooting Ms. Steinle.

Former California State Senator Leland Yee took time out of his busy life to plead guilty to charges of racketeering and public corruption, according to Fox News. Yee was named to the Gun Violence Prevention Honor Roll by the Brady Campaign in 2006 because he was such a friend to liberal gun-grabbers. He was once quoted as saying “It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear, there is no debate, no discussion.”

So this is from Fox News;

Yee also discussed helping an undercover FBI agent get weapons worth $500,000 to $2.5 million, including shoulder-fired missiles, and explaining the entire process of acquiring them from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines to bringing them to the U.S., according to an FBI affidavit.

Yee said he was unhappy with his life and told the agent he wanted to hide out in the Philippines, the FBI affidavit says.

Well, I guess he never said that no one in California should own rocket launchers, did he? So that doesn’t make him a hypocrite at all.

Some Tweets from his past;

Thank you @PiersMorgan for your commitment and passion to ending gun violence. We must never forget Sandy Hook.

— Leland Yee (@LelandYee) December 21, 2012

A year after Sandy Hook, let us recommit ourselves to working towards a safer society for all of us.

Let’s remember Sandy Hook by arming terrorists, you know while Yee hides out in the Philippines.

The Washington Times reports that in their case against Lucky Gunner, the Brady Center has been ordered by the judge in the case to pay the ammo dealer’s legal expenses. Lucky Gunner was the company that sold ammo to the Aurora theater murderer;

The Brady Center had argued in their suit that the way Lucky Gunner sells ammunition is “unreasonably dangerous and create a public nuisance.” “A crazed, homicidal killer should not be able to amass a military arsenal, without showing his face or answering a single question, with the simple click of a mouse,” Brady Center’s Legal Action Project Director Jonathan Lowy said at the time.

The judge, Richard P. Matsch, dismissed the case against a legitimate business, selling legal products to the public, accusing the Brady Center of propagandizing the issue;

“It is apparent that this case was filed to pursue the political purposes of the Brady Center and, given the failure to present any cognizable legal claim, bringing these defendants into the Colorado court where the prosecution of James Holmes was proceeding appears to be more of an opportunity to propagandize the public and stigmatize the defendants than to obtain a court order,” he said in his order.

I’m sure this won’t slow down the Brady Center and their attempts to disarm the law-abiding public, though. They’re not playing with their own money, so it doesn’t matter.

So, Harry Reid decided to pander to the ignorant calls for “expanded background checks” yesterday, according to The Hill;

“The United States is the only advanced country where this type of mass violence occurs,” Reid said from the Senate floor. “Let’s do something. We can expand, for example, background checks. … We should support not giving guns to people who are mentally ill and felons.”

I fully support that recommendation – the thing is, it’s already illegal to transfer guns to the mentally ill and felons.

But Reid warned that without new legislation, “we will be here again. Our hearts will be broken again, and we’re going to have to ask ourselves how we allowed another senseless tragedy to take place while we stand by doing nothing.”

What new legislation, Harry? Just saying the words is meaningless. It’s no more than pandering to the masses, the masses of ignorant morons who, for some reason, think that there are no background checks currently. Maybe they get that idea from lying politicians like Harry Reid who want to perpetuate the myth that politicians can solve society’s ills with new legislation.

The problem here is that are indeed laws that would have prevented Tucson, Aurora, New Town and Charleston, but government is failing us by not enforcing the laws. Instead of pushing the burden of gun control onto the majority of gun owners, why isn’t government forcing it’s own employees to do their jobs? Why aren’t they punishing the bureaucrats who won’t update the NICS system in a timely manner correctly? Why aren’t the mental health professionals held to account for their failings in that system?

The system depends on an accurate background checks system, but that doesn’t exist. The system as it currently exists, depends on criminals to tell the truth. Who is so naive that they’ll believe that would happen? That’s what happened when this retard in Charleston bought his firearm – he lied on the ATF form 4473 down there in block #11(e) where it asks him if he uses drugs illegally;

We’re so gullible that we think that someone who is plotting to kill a large number of people will answer these questions truthfully. The call-in to the Feds is supposed to verify the information, but if the Feds don’t have access to the most current information, the potential criminal is going to walk out of the store with a gun.

Former Conservative David Frum, thinks that he can cure the mass shooting thing. In the Atlantic, he urges that the government should make gun owners buy liability insurance and then take “meaningful training”. There are automobile drivers out there without insurance, but Frum thinks that he can make criminals buy insurance for their firearm.

How “meaningful training” will stop criminals, I have no idea, unless they take time out of their crime sprees to punch that ticket.

So, Reid and Frum think that by raising the specter of the “gun show loophole” that will scare politicians to action. The FBI reports that less than 2% of the guns used in crimes are purchased at gun shows. Me, personally, I’ve never bought a gun at a gun show when I didn’t have to go through background checks at the point of sale. So, I don’t know what they’re talking about.

In my considered opinion, making new legislation to control gun owners is about as useful as this current move to eradicate the Confederate flag from the United States. That fellow in South Carolina was wearing shorts in his pictures, too, are we going to do away with short pants to make us safer?

So, if you’re wondering about my senator, Joe Manchin, a recent convert to the grabbing of guns, yes, he’s contemplating a new set of laws according to the Washington Post, because that’s what legislators do.

“We want to make sure we have the votes. Pat’s going to have to, and I’ll work with him, to get some of our colleagues on the Republican side,” Manchin said, adding that he hasn’t talked directly to Toomey about a revival.

Manchin specifically mentioned an effort aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of people diagnosed with mental illness.

So, we legally, mentally balanced gun owners don’t have to worry about Manchin’s new efforts, right? Yeah, right.

Sometimes, doing something just to do something is worse than doing nothing.

That other liberal Democrat candidate for president disregarded my post yesterday about a rational discussion in regards to guns. Fox News quotes him;

“A single American life is worth more than all the guns in the United States,” O’Malley said while giving a speech at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in San Francisco. “How many senseless acts of violence do we have to endure as a people before we stand up to the congressional lobbyists of the National Rifle Association? How many more Americans have to die?”

While governor of Maryland, O’Malley instituted laws banning assault weapons and high capacity gun magazines that “exist only to inflict human casualty.” He also implemented strict licensing rules cracking down on the gun-permitting process, to ensure maximum safety.

[…]

O’Malley recently told supporters that his legislation passed in Maryland is just his first step for his plan for the nation.

Yeah, that’s not how you talk to adults, Marty.

This morning, in our “feel good stories” two more Americans lost their lives, two more Americans who wished ill on law abiding innocent American citizens. Are those the lives you want to protect, Marty?

Tell me how banning what you call “assault weapons” and what you call “high capacity magazines” would have prevented the shooting in Charleston? Or, any number of murders in this country, for that matter. Reportedly, the little retarded racist in Charleston reloaded five times. He didn’t need a modern sporting rifle or thirty round magazines to murder nine people.

It looks like he also lied on his ATF form 4473 for his background check. Look down in 11(e) where it references illegal drug use.

So, how would O’Malley fix the fact that criminals don’t care if they lie on government forms, you know, seein’s as how they plan on committing more crimes? Would fingerprinting gun buyers fix that? Well, if they don’t mind signing false declarations, I don’t see how fingerprinting would scare them away. More stringent background checks? How would that work if the government doesn’t keep their background checks lists (NICS) updated?

How many more senseless acts of stupidity do the American people have to suffer before Marty O’Malley shuts his stupid mouth? The only people who we read about protecting themselves from criminals in their homes in Maryland are off-duty cops and corrections officers. If Marty had his way, those are the only people in America who can sleep safely at night.
