What is better, no guns, or more guns?

Killer didn't meet the leftist narrative.

 

There’s a very good reason the media is silent about the Milwaukee mass shooting

by Andrea Widburg

 

Original Article

 

On Wednesday, an angry ex-employee got a gun, put a silencer on it, went to the MillersCoors facility where he had once worked, and shot five people to death before shooting himself. One would expect to have a barrage of news stories about America’s gun violence problem and the need to ban guns.

 

(snip)

 

The reason for the media’s silence became apparent when the media identified the shooter: 51-year-old Anthony Ferrill was black. This meant that the media couldn’t use its white supremacist narrative to justify grabbing guns. The narrative broke down even further when social media posts revealed that Ferrill may well have been an Elizabeth Warren supporter.

They lost an opportunity to have another groundbreaking, award winning town hall - where nothing of substance would have been discussed!

HAHAHAHA:  

Gun Owners of America Applies for a Red Flag Order for Senator Charles Schumer. 

 

“It should be interesting to see if a judge will simply dismiss this as unfounded, ruling that Schumer’s public statement was mere political hyperbole. Even after the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court has [said] Schumer’s statement was ‘threatening’ and ‘dangerous.’ . . . Let’s sit back and watch the two-tier legal system at work. Will Schumer’s threat draw the same law enforcement attention you would attract if you tweeted that same statement about a couple of highly placed officials in the judicial branch.”

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: 

 

Virginia to Force Anyone Who Buys Any Firearm to Undergo Background Check. 

 

“There are 19 such questions where answering “yes” to any one of them could deny you your constitutional right to bear arms.”

 

Not that I want to condone this crap, but some of those questions are disqualifications under federal law, such as being convicted of a felony.

 

However, the juvenile delinquent questions are a concern, as are the misdemeanor questions (unless for DV, which is also a disqualification for owning firearms under federal law.)

 

They should have listed out the rest to make their point.

Not surprising. My cousin in Houston works at a sporting goods store and says that there has been a run on guns. Speaking of ammo, I should probably stock up.

Was at Academy Sports yesterday. All .223/5.56 and 9mm were completely out. Very little in other calibers. Lots of people purchasing guns.

I'll have to hit the places near me to see what is still available. I am guessing .30 Carbine may still be around, but may have more difficulty with .40 S&W and 7.62x39. I probably won't bother getting .223.

When I was in Sportsman’s warehouse on Saturday they looked pretty well stocked, but already had signs out saying they were rationing. Yesterday morning I stopped at my local Academy. I didn’t see any rationing signs like I saw at Sportsman’s. It was starting to get thin, but they still had at least some ammo available in the most popular rifle and pistol calibers, and seemed to be basically fully stocked for the less common calibers they carry on a regular basis. I was already pretty well stocked so I didn’t go crazy but I picked up a couple more boxes of 5.56, 7.62x51, .40 s&w, and a brick of bulk .22lr. I figure at this point prices are only going to go up for at least the near future.

A little personal anecdote, my youngest brother in FLA. who constantly bashes the NRA just bought a Kel Tec Sub 2000, a gun that I can't own in NY. Sadly the irony is lost on him.

What....a pistol with a rifle style barrel and a foldable stock is illegal in NY (sarcasm off)

 

Got to shoot one a little while back...was fun

Wifey went out to buy ammo last night. No issues with .40, .30 Carbine, and .223. She couldn't get 7.62x39, but that was because this place does not carry it.

If you send her out to get milk or bacon she’ll come back really frustrated and may actually that ammo!

Too funny. The comments are the best:

Enter this week’s dingaling: felon and self-proclaimed gangster Amador Carlos Martinez. Martinez was recently pulled over during a routine traffic stop, where he admitted to officers he was in possession of a firearm. We’re not sure what type of gun the officers were expecting to find, but they turned up a rather curious one.

A Remington Model 1858 Black Powder Revolver, to be exact.

According to Fresno PD’s Facebook page:

“On Monday, March 11, 2019, at 5:00 P.M. Southeast Special Response Team Officer Dillon Biggs and Officer Sukhbir Chauhan were proactively patrolling the area of Third St and Madison Ave in an effort to reduce gang violence and shootings in the Southeast Policing District. They initiated a traffic stop for a vehicle code violation. They contacted the driver, 19-year-old Amador Carlos Martinez, a self-admitted Ruthless Thug Life Fresno Bulldog Criminal Street Gang Member.

Martinez admitted to Officer Biggs he had a loaded 44 Magnum revolver under the driver seat. Martinez said he possessed the firearm for his protection against other gang members. Martinez was arrested and booked into the Fresno County Jail for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Please see the attached photograph of the handgun recovered and of suspect Amador Carlos Martinez.”

We’re not sure what in the Oregon Trail possessed him to sport such a… unique gun, but we are certain that the internet came correct when they wanted to roast him for it. Check out the comment below.

I’m not sure about CA law, but federally and in most states black powder muzzleloaders including cap and ball revolvers like this are not legally considered firearms, can be purchased by anyone over 18 without a background check, and are legal for convicted felons to own. He may have earned himself a night in jail by being honest about  something that isn’t actually a crime.
