The village tried to disguise its extremism as an amendment to an existing ordinance. The ordinance bans possession of legally-owned semi-auto firearms, with no exception for guns previously owned, or any provision for self-defense,&#8221; said Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb, in a release. &#8220;Worse, still, the ordinance also provided for confiscation and destruction of such firearms and their original capacity magazines. It was outrageous that the ban would levy fines of up to $1,000 a day against anyone who refused to turn in their gun and magazines or move them out of the village. <em>This certainly puts the lie to claims by anti-gunners that &#8216;nobody is coming to take your guns<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is recourse for gun owners with pre-emptive strikes like this. And we do have to remember that Illinois has probably the most restrictive gun laws in the entire country, but they also have a self-defense section, including self-defense in home invasions, that allow gun owners to defend themselves without repercussions. Furthermore, anyone with a brain could argue correctly that there is no specific definition for \u201cassault-style weapons\u201d, particularly when everything in my house can be used that way, including my flagpole and the keys to the front door, and that alone makes the ban invalid. \u201cAssault-style weapons\u201d is incorrectly and constantly used by ignorant, self-serving twits. Them&#8217;s fightin&#8217; words. \u00a0They should be taken down a peg or three for it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m quite sure that all these politicians who want weapons out of the hands of private citizens have some absurd fantasy that someone wants to shoot them, even if they deny it. Unfortunately for their delusional fantasies, there is not one politician on the planet, including an ex-president and a prior political candidate, who is worth the cost of a single bullet.<\/p>\n<p>The other event, which you may have heard about, was that Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, was told by the owner of the Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, VA, to take her family and leave. \u00a0The owner&#8217;s political opinions of people seem to carry more weight than running a profitable business. So Ms. Sanders and her party left.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/live-white-house-briefing-june-25-2018-live-stream\/\">https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/live-white-house-briefing-june-25-2018-live-stream\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A savvy business owner would welcome the party and give them good service, but not this restaurant owner. She was &#8220;concerned&#8221; about the effect on her employees. Baloney.<\/p>\n<p>There is an unfortunate side effect to this nonsense. The owner of the Lexington, VA, Red Hen Restaurant apparently thought her restaurant name was unique. Again, this clearly demonstrates the \u2018<em>me first and\u00a0 me only!<\/em>\u2019 mind of the left side of the fence, because other Red Hen restaurants have been getting enormous flack for the Virginia Red Hen owner\u2019s rudeness to a customer. \u00a0One of them is in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/gloucester-county\/index.ssf\/2018\/06\/post_145.html\">https:\/\/www.nj.com\/gloucester-county\/index.ssf\/2018\/06\/post_145.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The other is in Collingwood, Ontario \u2013 yes, in Canada. Apparently, some people think Canada is in Virginia.

Does this mean we\u2019re going to have another \u201cMississippi Burning\u201d?\u00a0If this isn\u2019t a throwback to those days, then what is it?<\/p>\n<p>The so-called liberals are about as liberal as a locked door. They haven\u2019t changed at all, not in over 85++ years, and frankly, with their ridiculous notions about guns and their colossal (and growing) social moron behavior, I don\u2019t think they will.They&#8217;ll wake up some day, find out that they&#8217;ve turned 45, and they aren&#8217;t &#8220;cute&#8221; any more.<\/p>\n<p>These are only two fine examples of the sheer stupidity and ignorance that inhabit the leftred side of the political fence. I\u2019m sure there are more, such as that fat checker from Hahvahd who had to quit her media job because she insulted a disabled veteran for no valid reason. Her level of pure ignorance backfired on her. I know that there are many, many more, such as the antifas being unwilling to face down anyone unless it\u2019s twelve of them ganging up on an old lady \u2013 something like that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like the ignorance about the solar cross: American Indian tribes used that in pictographs for many centuries, long, long before the Nazis under Hitler stole it and used it as a\u00a0symbolic threat. There were many versions of it, including the cross in a circle and the broken circle. \u00a0It bears zero resemblance to the Maltese cross on that vet&#8217;s left arm. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warpaths2peacepipes.com\/native-american-symbols\/cross-circle-symbol.htm\">https:\/\/www.warpaths2peacepipes.com\/native-american-symbols\/cross-circle-symbol.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These generational social morons have no manners. They can barely read and write and do simple arithmetic. Their knowledge of anything from the past is minimal, and comics are literature. They think their half-baked opinions are golden, but don\u2019t realize that it\u2019s fool\u2019s gold instead.<\/p>\n<p>They think there are no consequences to anything they say or do.<\/p>\n<p>They should keep this stupidity going for as long as possible, and make it as public as possible. And they should continue to be as loud and obnoxious abut it as they can.<\/p>\n<p>We need to know who they are and how empty-headed they are, so that we can persuade those currently on the middle of the fence to lean to the righthand side in the voting season, and approach it in a reasonable way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a couple bits of interesting news that have come up in the past week &hellip; <a title=\"The more they shout and point&#8230;.\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=80195\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The more they shout and point&#8230;.<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,224],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-darwin-awards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80195\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
