Sandbox -14sep23

[California Dems are giving ‘butt stupid’ a expanded definition with their new CCW law that prohibits law-abiding citizens to exercise their concealed carry rights in an expanded array of places that include schools, government buildings, prisons, hospitals, airports, and bars.  The criminally intent and crazies out there welcome such prohibitions which keep them safe as they carry out their plans for murder and mayhem.  It is amazing that we walk the same planet with idiots who believe such laws will reduce ‘gun violence’.  gjr]

    Schools, government buildings, prisons, hospitals, airports, and bars sound like but stupid places to carry guns.

    I’m sure the new restrictions will cause the criminals to obey – cause they wouldn’t want to break the law!

    This is all great news for the Dems. Mitt Romney sums up the Repub dilemma with Trump the phony as their candidate with this:
    “I’m not talking about in the next two years,” said Romney. “I’m talking over the next decade or so. I just — I mean, populism doesn’t work. I quote that H.L. Mencken line, which is, ‘To every complex problem there is a solution which is simple, clear, and wrong.’ And unfortunately that is what we’re hearing.”
    “And again, on the Trump wing of the party, I haven’t heard policy other than saying, we’re going to build a wall,” Romney continued. “And by the way, he was president for four years and he built 50 miles. What did he get done? The tax change? That was Paul Ryan … and he had a health care plan. Remember that? That was going — everybody was going to have low-cost health insurance. Never proposed, never saw. He was in four years. So it’s not a policy-centric approach, and if you don’t have policy to match your rhetoric, ultimately it’s not going to be successful.”

    Interesting that to get the basic license you be denied a license if any of the following apply (see drug related items).
    But if you want a Concealed Carry permit you can be a drug addict, etc. but just cannot have been convicted. 🙂
    So you can buy the gun, then become an addict, no worries. Looks like a loophole a lawyer could drive a truck through.
    A license shall not be issued to, or will be revoked for any of the following:
    An individual whose character and reputation is such that the individual would be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety.
    An individual who has been convicted of an offense under the act of April 14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64), known as The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, or current year drug user as evidenced by an arrest for possession or use of illegal drugs.
    An individual convicted of a crime enumerated in Title 18 (PA Crimes Code) section 6105.
    An individual who, within the past ten years has been adjudicated delinquent for a crime enumerated in section 6105 or for an offense under The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act.
    An individual who is not of sound mind, or who has ever been involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
    An individual who is addicted to, or is an unlawful user of marijuana, stimulant, depressant, or narcotic drug. NOTE: Applicants may not hold a medical marijuana card. A medical marijuana card holder is considered an unlawful user for the purposes of LTC. You must surrender your medical marijuana card and as a presumptive user wait one year to apply for a LTC.
    An individual who is a habitual drunkard.
    An individual who is charged with, or has been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, except as provided for in section 6123 (relating to waiver of disability or pardons). Typically any Misdemeanor of the First Degree or any Felony but may be lesser graded offenses if related to domestic violence, or equivalent form another state.
    An alien who is illegally in the United States.
    An individual who has been discharged from the armed forces of the United States under dishonorable conditions.
    An individual who is a fugitive from justice. This does not apply to an individual whose fugitive status is based upon nonmoving or moving summary offense under Title 75 (PA Vehicle Code).
    An individual who is otherwise prohibited from possessing, using, manufacturing, controlling, purchasing, selling or transferring a firearm as provided for in section 6105 of the PA Crimes Code, or an individual who is prohibited from possessing or acquiring a firearm under the statutes of the United States.

    Yes he did, Juanny Boy. You are proving to be even more ignorant than I had imagined.
    That Hunter had committed multiple firearm related felonies has been obvious for years.
    You or I would be in the old gray bar hotel long ago for the same thing. I am amused at the left now thinking that wealthy powerful white men really should just be given a pass if they are Dems. And a corrupt FBI is no big deal. If I had read verbatim from actual leftist posts that I see now daily, to people back in the 70s, absolutely not a single person back then would even start to believe a word of it. I would be hooted out of the room.
    But you just keep on posting all of your Biden butt-licking posts. It is amusing to see how you will try to twist the facts around to avoid having to see what a con you have fallen for.

    Just the News reported Thursday the prospective business client was international banker Marc Holtzman, who Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were courting for business in Kazakhstan. Holtzman in turn was advocating for former Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov — who is currently imprisoned for treason — to become the next United Nations Secretary General, according to the report.
    The meeting was recently disclosed by Archer in congressional testimony, the report said

    Have you considered a different language…..it might help with that tortured “English” sentence formulation that we discussed earlier…..(14 September 2023 at 05:48 PM)?
    Something not terribly difficult, with the same vocabulary so the learning curve wouldn’t be so steep….but with a certain structural flexibility.

    A parent shared with the Reporter an outline for an English 1101 class at Georgia Southern headlined “Guidelines for Black English.”
    The outline says approvingly that black English eliminates the verb “to be” whenever possible.
    “This leads to the deployment of more descriptive and, therefore, more precise verbs,” the outline claims.
    So while standard English might say, “She is going out with him,” the black English says, “She going out with him,” says the outline.
    It also encourages users to eliminate the word “do.”
    So while standard English might say, “What do you think? What do you want?”, black English says, “What you think? What you want?”, the outline says.
    The outline says by eliminating verbs such as “be” and “do”, black English has “greater accuracy” in the choice of verb. The outline also notes that to say something really positive in black English, you should “formulate the idea using emphatic negative structure”.
    So while standard English would say, “He’s fabulous,” black English would say, “He bad,” according to the outline.
    Another example is that instead of “Tina Turner sings out of this world,” black English would say “Ain nobody sing like Tina.”
    The outline also urges readers never to use “-ed” to indicate the past tense……

    ‘Ain nobody sing like Tina’ indeed…..!

    ….and you had to know that a more technical explanation would materialize at some point.

    “….Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat home-state senators in Delaware, let the statute of limitations expire on serious tax charges, buried evidence deemed credible by the Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney of the Bidens’ alleged foreign bribery schemes, and attempted to give Hunter a sweetheart deal with secret, broad immunity that protected President Biden.
    President Biden knows he cannot pardon Hunter right now. That would lead to politically and legally disastrous consequences before November 5, 2024. If pardoned, Hunter can no longer plead the Fifth Amendment–and refuse to testify before Congress. Hunter’s Fifth Amendment protections also disappear if Weiss gives Hunter a plea agreement with a prosecution waiver or some other immunity deal that shields him from criminal charges.
    Weiss’s charges today continue his deceptive pattern–for years–of protecting Hunter. More troubling, Weiss is protecting President Biden. Indeed, where are Hunter’s charges related to foreign corruption, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, tax evasion, wire fraud, and other criminal charges that could implicate President Biden?”
