“We can only assume you believe there shouldn’t be any laws against shooting little girls in the face. Just like you believe there shouldn’t be any laws regarding gun ownership “because they don’t work real good.” Yuk, yuk. They’ll shoot little girls in the face anyway.”
First of all – why is it Jiggy goes on about “a little girl” – aren’t all humans equal?
We can only assume Jiggy thinks some humans are more valuable than others, right Jiggy? See how that works?
What Walt pointed out is that your idiot idea ‘guns laws’ stopping crime doesn’t work. We have laws against murder and yet folks still murder. So the point is that you are not going to stop gun violence with the proposed laws. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have the laws on the books in order to prosecute the guilty. It’s a matter of pointing out that politicians are lying when they say they can stop these crimes with a bunch of un-Constitutional laws.
Going after law-abiding citizens will do nothing to stop gun violence.
Fabricating Walt’s view of these crimes just shows how demented Jiggy is. Once again, he projects his own sick views.

Jiggy is sooooo funny. Yep, the laws to restrict who is able to purchase a gun worked great. He wasn’t able to buy a gun through legitimate means, so he bought one on the black market. C’mon, haven’t we learned yet.
So, how did that war on drugs work, Jiggy? Folks still got high and we cycled through heroin, cocaine and meth and we are still going…what’s next? And we legalized weed and still have the folks in the woods with illegal grows, selling on the black market.
And how did that prohibition on alcohol work? Again, if you wanted a drink you could get one courtesy of the rise of organized crime, which still exists. You have stills in dry counties and whiskey runners in some places, servicing dry counties and towns.
Yeah, that’s the solution, just outlaw it and then the folks so minded are going to get it thorough illegal means. Just freskin’ brillant, Jiggy

She also cited the smell of cigarettes and the sound of children playing with basketballs as adding to her profound discomfort.”
In this same story, we get reminded of a city employee drunk with power
As Breitbart News reported, in 2015 a Pinellas County, Florida, environmental specialist was recorded in a video telling a resident that it was illegal for the smoke from his home barbecue to leave his property. He offered no evidence to back the legal side of his argument.”

Gun Quotes
Village Idiots: “Can someone cite which passage of the Bible God states it is a god-given right to own a gun?” —Alyssa Milano (“It is of course not the right to a modern-day firearm that is God-given but rather the right to Life & the right to Liberty. Essential to that right to life is the right to DEFEND your life & your family. The right to self-defense is recognized repeatedly in the Bible, eg Exodus 22:2: ‘If a thief is caught breaking in at night & is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed.’ (Note, though, verse 3 says it IS murder if during daylight (ie, not self-defense).” —Sen. Ted Cruz
Alpha Jackass: “After the last three years, the work of a just and righteous God cannot be considered credible evidence of His goodness unless He picks all of Mar-a-lago up by the roots, sails it across half of Florida and heaves it on top of Doral and its every last bedbug.” —producer David Simon
Braying Jackass: “Big shout out to all the civilian ‘good guys with guns’ who saved lives in Odessa. You know who you are. Thanks a million.” —Rep. Eric Swalwell
Demo-gogues: “The idea that we don’t have elimination of assault-type weapons, magazines that can hold multiple bullets in them, it’s absolutely mindless.” —Joe Biden
Nonstarter: “Buy those weapons of war back. Mandate that. Not voluntarily. Let’s be really clear with our fellow Americans.” —Beto O’Rourke (“This is your daily reminder that Beto O’ Rourke once wrote a poem fantasizing about running children over with his car. And he wants to lecture Americans on violence?” —Charlie Kirk)
Non compos mentis: “Buying an AR-15 shouldn’t be easier than voting.” —David Hogg (“So you should be able to buy one without showing valid ID?” —The Resurgent’s Steve Berman)
And last… “Calling gun confiscation a ‘mandatory buy back’ is like calling armed robbery a ‘compelled donation.’” —Matt Walsh

“HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) – A new claim of retaliation by the Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has surfaced.
The latest comes from an employee who says the administration made a false police report to get back at her.
The woman works as an investigator for the prosecutor’s office.
She has testified three times before the federal grand jury that is hearing evidence against her boss, Prosecutor Keith Kaneshiro.
Kaneshiro’s special assistant, Roger Lau, called Honolulu Police on Feb. 20, claiming employees heard the woman threaten to get a gun and shoot the administration.
Lau wanted a terroristic threatening case opened.
But the detective’s notes show the next day, on Feb. 21, one of those employees told him he did not have any recollection of the incident and, “did not remember any talk about a gun.”
