What Guns To Be Safe? Get Rid Of The Guns.
https://mikethegunguy.com/2017/08/02/what-guns-to-be-safe-get-rid-of-the-guns/


Ever since my pal Tony Scalia decided in 2008 that owning a gun is a Constitutional ‘right,’ the gun violence prevention (GVP) community has been trying to figure out a strategy that will reduce the annual gun carnage, while at the same time preserving the heritage of freedom and democracy represented by guns. So it’s become kind of a standard preamble to every gun-control argument made by every gun-control group that they ‘support’ the 2nd Amendment, as if any member of the Gun-nut Nation tribe would actually believe that someone who thinks that guns represent any kind of problem at all would ever really be in favor of the 2nd Amendment. Anyway….
…
One of the GVP strategies that tries to neatly straddle the line between being against guns and yet being for the 2nd Amendment is something called ‘safe storage,’ which means that if you do own guns, they should be kept locked or locked away at all times. Here’s the operative statement from Everytown: “Everytown’s research on unintentional child gun deaths shows that 65 percent of these shootings take place in a home or vehicle that belongs to the victim’s family, most often with guns that were legally owned but irresponsibly stored.” The Brady Campaign says that nearly 1.7 million kids live in homes with unlocked or unstored guns, and they partner with the American Public Health Association in their ASK campaign, which tells parents to make sure their kids aren’t playing in someone’s house where there are unsecured guns.
…
The best and most realistic approach I know to gun safety is the Advice to Parents stated by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It goes like this: “The best way to keep your children safe from injury or death from guns is to NEVER have a gun in the home.”  As far as I’m concerned, any attempt to find some alternate, crowd-pleasing message just doesn’t work.

To the surprise of no one, criminals across the country are exploiting the chaos to steal guns

In an epic failure of liberty control, the current chaos is giving thieves a perfect opportunity to try and steal some guns. Criminals across the country have been trying to take advantage of the chaos to burglarise gun stores, attempting to break into the shops and steal what they can. This while law enforcement has been busy with the protests and looting that broke out everywhere. Some have noted a decided increase in this type of crime, with the thieves only meeting partial success. Word has it that the ATF has complimented some stores for their security measures that prevented loss of inventory to the miscreants. If anything, this should show that  liberty control  is a fool’s errand since criminals will always find a way to obtain guns. The end result of these policies is that the innocent and even law enforcement are then at the mercy of the worst of society.

Democratic disaster: The Associated Press is ‘unable to declare’ a winner in Iowa

The Tom Perez, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee has also called for a “recanvass” of the results The  Associated press  just announced that they won’t be able to declare a winner in Iowa. Meanwhile, Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee  called for a “recanvass”  of the results of the Iowa caucuses. Party chairman Perez declared ”Enough is enough” and called for this results to assure public confidence in the results. The latest release of the results from the Iowa Democratic Party had Mayor Pete Buttigieg leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by two state delegate equivalents out of 2,152 counted. That is a margin of 0.09 percentage points. However, there is evidence the party has not accurately tabulated some of its results, including those released late Thursday that the party reported as complete. It should be noted that  Pete Buttigieg paid Shadow Inc , the Iowa caucus app company, tens of thousands of dollars in recent months. Originally

Gun Confiscation SWATing: Shooting down due process

A new video from the Firearms Policy Coalition highlights the dangers to Liberty and due process posed by so-called ‘Red Flag’ Laws. Gun confiscation SWATing, Extreme risk protective orders or so-call ‘Red Flag’ Laws are all the rage of the Liberty grabber Left and RINO’s these days. It’s bad enough that these unnecessary and unconstitutional violations of everyone’s due process rights are being ‘Rahmed’ through on a state level. But both the US House and Senate have their own versions. The latter co-sponsored by Senator Marco ‘RINO’ Rubio (R-FL) with the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on March 26 . In a case of trying to solve a rare but emotionally charged problem, these will only serve to create an even bigger problem destroying several civil and human rights in the process. We’ve already established that this type of legislation is unnecessary since Involuntary Civil Commitment laws that protect due process rights are already on the books. Thus we hav
