Very early in the morning of November 20, 2018, I turned off my computer. Microsoft automatically downloaded a “critical update.” Two hours later when I tried to use the computer, I could not. I could not leave the startup page. I haven’t been on the computer since that morning. I am now using our local library’s computers and have not yet decided if I will try to have my computer repaired. However, it is time to start blogging again. Since I also can’t get into my old Microsoft accounts, I’m starting a new blog as of Saturday, May 4, 2019.

“The Illinois State House was back in session this afternoon to override Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of a 32 percent permanent tax hike on Illinois families (SB 9). This tax grab also raises the corporate income tax rate by 33 percent. As anticipated, the House voted to override the veto this afternoon by a vote of 71-42 [71 being the minimum number of votes to override.]—with 61 Democrats and 10 Republicans voting in favor of increasing our taxes [By raising the tax rate by 32%. Plus, no doubt, increasing the cost of goods and/or increasing unemployment by raising corporate income tax rates by 33 1/3rd percent.].

I created a “Wall of Shame” a few years ago for really horrendous Legislative votes and Governor’s actions. It is time for a “Hall of Honor” for actions above and beyond the call of duty. The first such “Hall of Honor” goes to the Mayor and Trustees of the Village of Morton, Illinois who prohibited marijuana businesses within the village limits the same day that the law went into force.

Amendment
II to the United States Constitution
“A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and
bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
“A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a free State” is a declarative statement that
provides the reason for the amendment. The remainder of the sentence is the
Right provided by the Constitution. The RIGHT itself could and would stand
alone as a right whether or not the declarative statement is included.
The RIGHT is as follows: “The right of the
people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
“Congress reconvenes this week after a summer
fraught with multiple mass shootings. Reportedly, legislation
implementing tighter gun control [Gun control is the first incremental step for
Leftist socialists to gun confiscation.] is on the table, with rumored support by some in the
White House [Constitutionally, there should not be any such
support.]. The rhetoric surrounding guns continues to escalate.
Here’s the thing about
guns. The Constitution—that handy little document—guarantees our rights to them
[Yes it does to the consternation of Leftist socialists.], and that guarantee
is a profound reflection of the nature and character of our freedoms [Indeed.].
As Ben Domenech of The Federalist wrote recently,
‘the right to bear arms is not about hunting [Of course not.].’ Rather:
It is a natural right
of the deepest significance to the relationship between the citizen and the
state. It is in the Constitution because the men who defeated the greatest
empire in the world [Britain at the time. I can not bring myself to include “Great”
because Britain is no longer great in any sense of the word.] wanted us to be
able to defend our freedom [Exactly. As well as defend ourselves from personal
attack.].
The simple fact that
we have a right to own guns doesn’t mean individuals must own them, use them,
or even like them [Of course.]. But what it does mean is that
people advocating further regulation of firearms at least should have a
baseline understanding of how firearms actually work, as well as the current
statutory environment that regulates their purchase, handling, and use
[Actually, those people should NOT be advocating regulation of firearms period.
Regulations are an infringement on the right to keep and bear arms. What part
of “shall not be infringed” is not understood?].
Unfortunately, the
current rhetoric coming from Democrats [Leftist socialists] betrays a deep
misunderstanding about all of those things [As well as a hatred for the 2nd
Amendment itself.].
Here are some of the worst
offenses.
Bernie Sanders: “We must end the sale and
distribution of assault weapons [Notice that Leftist socialists NEVER define assault weapons because they
do not know what an assault weapon is.].”
There’s a lot to
unpack here about so-called ‘assault weapons.’ The first challenge is the
absence of any fixed legal definition of what constitutes an ‘assault weapon
[Exactly.].’ Numerous state laws have
defined the phrase as everything from paintball guns [Seriously?] to all
semiautomatic firearms to Remington 11-87 shotguns [None of these should be
classified as an assault weapon.], the latter famously used by former
presidential candidate John Kerry (Democrat [Leftist socialist]-Massachusetts)
on Labor Day in 2004 to demonstrate his legitimately good trap-shooting skills.
The vague [And
misleading] term ‘assault weapon’ is distinct from an assault rifle, however,
which refers to a rapid-fire, magazine fed rifle that allows the shooter to
select between semiautomatic (requiring you to pull the trigger for each shot),
fully automatic (hold the trigger and the gun continuously fires) or
three-round-burst modes. Assault rifles are, for all intents and purposes,
already banned in the United States. More on that shortly.
So for anyone
proposing to ban ‘assault weapons,’ the question needs to be: which guns?
Because, depending on your definition, it could be just slide action shotguns
and guns with adjustable stocks, or it could be every semiautomatic pistol in
America as well as your kid’s BB gun [It is whatever Leftist socialists want it
to be. They are masters of the manipulation of words for their benefit.].
Dianne
Feinstein: “The
assault weapons ban worked. Studies
prove that mass shootings dropped while it was in effect.”
Except it didn’t
[Leftist socialists lie. They lie all the time.]. ‘There is no compelling
evidence that it saved lives,’ according to
Duke University public policy experts Philip Cook and Kristin Goss. A
2004 Department of Justice study found no evidence the ban had any effect on
gun violence, stating ‘should
it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best
and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.’ Other studies have found no
statistically significant relationship between ‘assault’ weapons or
large-capacity magazine bans and homicide rates [Do a case study of Chicago.
One of the murder capitals of the nation with some of the strictest “gun
control” laws in the nation.].
There is also
substantial misunderstanding surrounding what the Assault Weapons Ban, which
passed in 1994 [During the Clinton Presidency] and sunset [No longer exists
unless renewed by a new vote.] in 2004 [During the George W. Bush Presidency],
actually did. It didn’t ban anyone from owning an ‘assault-style’
(again, an undefined term) weapon. All magazines and weapons produced before
the ban were grandfathered in, and some companies actually ramped up production
of the soon-to-be-outlawed firearm components, drastically increasing ownership
of what lawmakers were seeking to reduce.
The only automatic
weapons legal to purchase for civilians in the United States are those
registered between 1934 and 1986.
So if the ban didn’t
actually apply specifically to types of guns, to what did it apply? Mostly
cosmetic ‘military-style [Defined?]’ features. Specifically: semiautomatic
rifles with detachable magazines and certain additional features, including
pistol grips, bayonet mounts [Makes it an “assault” weapon?], folding stocks,
or magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition [This is a ridiculous
requirement and a direct infringement on keeping and bearing arms. Correct training
against an attack is to keep firing until everyone is down and out of
commission. It sometimes takes 4-5 shots to put down one person and believe me
if you are being attacked you don’t want to shoot once and then wait to see if
that one shot stopped the assailant.].
Also,
given the frequently cited claim [It is a lie.] that ‘assault weapons lead to
more murder,’ it’s worth pointing out that at least 730,000 AR-15s (not an
assault rifle, but more on that in a bit) were manufactured and legally sold
while the Assault Weapons Ban was in effect, and the national murder rate declined.
It’s
also true that rifles like the AR-15 are only used in a tiny percentage of
murders. Twenty-seven percent of murders are committed without
firearms of any type [There are a multitude of weapons that can be used in
committing murder, including pillows among numerous other everyday household
products. If a person is intent upon murder, not having a gun will not prevent
the murder.].
Beto O’Rourke: [The more he speaks; the
more ridiculous he becomes.]: “Americans who own AR-15s,
AK-47s,
will
have to sell them to the government [Nonsense.
What part of “shall not be infringed” does he not understand?].”
Ah,
yes, the mandatory ‘buyback.’ O’Rourke gets so much wrong here. First among
them, as Matt Walsh has pointed out,
is the concept of the ‘back’ in ‘buyback.’ That assumes that Americans would be
returning their guns to the original owner, which is . . . the government?
Uh,
no [Absolutely no.].
It’s
also a misnomer to say that the government would be ‘buying’ anything. That
suggests choice, when this is very much a mandate. Moreover, the government
would be ‘buying’ guns from legal gun owners and reimbursing them with their
own tax dollars [That is the way Leftist socialists think. Everything is the
government’s. Government ownership of all things.].
Since
1986, Congress has forbidden gunmakers from even producing fully automatic
weapons for the civilian market.
In
Walsh’s phrasing, ‘a mandatory buyback’ is like calling armed robbery ‘a
compelled donation.’
Experts
who have studied gun
buyback programs done at the state level say they are largely ineffective at
reducing crime rates or gun violence [Of course. Criminals don’t sell their
weapons unless it is to get money to buy more weapons.]. In the words of one expert,
the impact of buybacks on crime was ‘not statistically significant.’ In other
words, buybacks are good for photo ops and for when you’re trying to jumpstart
a foundering presidential campaign [Beto is foundering? Yes.]. But they don’t
actually get crime off the streets [Of course not. To get crime off of the
street you have to get criminals off of the street not their weapons.].
Kamala
Harris: “As president, [Which she will never be.]
I will
take executive action to . . . ban the
importation of AR-15-style assault
weapons. [Except AR-15 rifles are NOT assault weapons]”
Some
things to clear up here. ‘AR’ does not stand for ‘assault rifle [Duh.].’ An
AR-15 is not, in fact, an assault rifle, because it only fires one round with
each pull of the trigger. (Again, there is no fixed legal definition for ‘assault
weapon.’)
An
AR-15 is classified as a modern sporting rifle, used for hunting, competition
shooting, and home-defense, and one of the most popular firearms being sold
today—upwards of 16 million Americans own them. Even with that many purchases,
AR-15s and similar sporting rifles still comprise only 3 percent of the total
civilian arsenal of approximately 310 million firearms [The
vast majority are hand guns.].
“It simply stands for ArmaLite Rifle [AR] 15, the company from
which it was born.”]
Automatic
weapons have been heavily regulated since the National Firearms Act of 1934.
AR-15s
are legal to own in most states, provided that the purchaser passes the
mandatory FBI background check required for all retail firearm purchases.
Oh,
and one more thing: The vast majority of AR-15s are manufactured in the United
States. So an import ban would be meaningless [Sounds good though?].
David
Axelrod: “Weapons of war [What exactly are weapons of
war? A firearm is a weapon of war. A knife is a weapon of war. A rifle is a
weapon of war.] kill large numbers of people . . . why are
they still legal? [Because we have
the right to keep and bear arms.]”
Axelrod
doesn’t define what he means here as ‘weapons of war’ (no one ever really does
[Exactly.]), but this seems as good a time as any to point out the key
differences between automatic weapons (largely banned) and semiautomatic
weapons (mostly handguns).
An
automatic weapon can shoot more than one round when you pull the trigger (e.g.:
a machine gun). A semi-automatic—most handguns, many rifles, and some
shotguns—does not. Contrary to popular belief, automatic weapons have not been
used in recent mass shootings—semi-automatics have been.
The
federal Firearms Transaction Record required for all gun purchases asks ‘have
you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective or have you
ever been committed to a mental institution?’ Falsifying the form is a crime
[Is it enforced?].
Moreover,
the only automatic weapons legal to purchase for civilians in the United States
are those registered between 1934 and 1986. Since 1986, Congress has forbidden
gunmakers from even producing fully automatic weapons for the civilian market.
Automatic weapons have been heavily regulated since the National Firearms Act
of 1934.
If
you want to take possession of an automatic weapon, the bar is quite high. A
substantial transfer tax, application, federal background check, and
fingerprinting are all required. If you violate the Firearms Act? Good luck to
you—you’ll sit in prison for 10 years and pay up to $100,000 in fines [If
convicted.].
Chuck
Schumer: The
Odessa shooting ‘could
have been avoided’ with a background check bill [Liar.].
Actually,
no.
The
Odessa, Texas shooter did not legally own his gun, an AR-15, and existing laws
made it
illegal
for him to purchase one. He obtained his gun from a currently unidentified
person that law enforcement officials believe may
have illegally manufactured and sold the gun to him.
Some
commentators claim the fact that the gunman bought his weapon through a ‘private
sale’ meant that he escaped a background check. But let’s be very clear here.
He escaped a background check because the seller was selling illegally
[Minor concept to Leftist socialists.]. Private sales require the seller to be
legally compliant, and private sales also require background checks. Legal
private sales are still federally regulated and there are harsh penalties for
buyers and sellers who violate the law.
The
shooter was also prohibited under federal law from owning a firearm because a
court previously had found him mentally unfit. He evidently had tried to
purchase a gun in January 2014 but failed because the nationwide criminal
background check system had flagged the mental health determination.
The
federal Firearms Transaction Record, form 4437,
required for all gun purchases, asks ‘have you ever been adjudicated as a
mental defective or have you ever been committed to a mental
institution?’ Falsifying the form is a crime [Is it enforced?].
It
was later revealed the shooter had a criminal record that included pleading
guilty to criminal trespassing and evading arrest, both of which are
misdemeanors in Texas. He did not receive jail time, but instead got two years
of probation.
The
Odessa shooting was a horror. But existing laws prevented it from happening
sooner. And the fact that he got a gun at all tells us what common sense
already teaches: motivated criminals don’t abide by laws [Duh. The definition
of a criminal is someone who has violated the law.].
As
my boss, former U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (Republican-South Carolina) said recently,
the breakdown of the culture [Evil people do evil things.] is more responsible
for mass shootings than the availability of the guns themselves. There are
myriad reasons for this, but lawmakers, he noted, need to set a better example
for how to treat people before rushing to strip Second Amendment rights from
the rest of us [Congress
beware. Keeping and bearing arms IS a constitutionally protected
right. Decisions have consequences.].”
