Polk County Florida Sheriff Grady Judge speaking about the riots/protests:
“The people in Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns… And if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns.”

Shocker, not: The thugs in Chiraq ignored Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s orders.
Headline on Monday night from MyFoxChicago: “Chicago sees deadliest Memorial Day weekend in years: 10 fatally shot, 31 wounded.“
This is Chiraq’s deadliest Memorial Day weekend since 2015. Read all the details here.
And this occurred despite Chicago Police increasing patrols to enforce Mayor Lightfoot’s stay-at-home order. From a story three days prior:
“As the long holiday weekend kicks off, Chicago police say they will be enforcing the stay-at-home order.
The city is calling it an “all-hands-on-deck” strategy. Chicago police are increasing patrolling, including near major transit hubs and that is just one of the many things are doing to help keep people safe this weekend.
Memorial Day weekend in the past has typically been one of the most violent times in the city.
“This Memorial Day weekend will be like no other,” said Rich Guidice, Executive Director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
CPD will enforce the stay-at-home order and be on the lookout to breakup large gatherings and issue citations.”
Well, this Memorial Day weekend was like no other…but not in the way they anticipated. Great leadership, Mayor Lightfoot!
(FYI: Mayor Lightfoot’s Twitter bio now includes the following: “Delightfully strict.”)

I voted for Governor Kevin Stitt. One of the main reasons was his strong stance on the Second Amendment. I haven’t always been pleased with some of his actions but when is a politician going to make everyone happy all the time?
Yesterday, my governor made me very happy. Gov. Stitt signed SB 1081 known as the “Anti-Red Flag Act.”
This bill prevents cities and towns in our state from enacting policies that would allow a court or other entity to restrict gun access to people deemed to be an imminent danger. It is also the first kind in the nation.
The Oklahoman reports that Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense is upset about this, of course. Read that story here.
While I’m all for crazy people not having guns, I whole-heartedly support due process. And I’m also very leery of demorats’ desire for red flag laws. Maybe that’s because their end goal is always to take away our guns.
If interested, read the whole bill here.

This was Australia’s gun “buy back.” Canada is next.
There is no grandfather provision in the new law. The ban is total. It prohibits buying, selling,trading, importing, exporting, OR USING, any military-grade assault weapons, anywhere in Canada.
Trudeau’s full announcement can be viewed at the following URL:
The announcement begins at 1:48
Trudeau has made no secret of his antipathy toward firearms. He announced his intention to ban AR-15 firearms in March, but delayed because of the Wuhan virus pandemic. In yesterday’s announcement, he indicated that banning AR-15s was just one more step toward even tighter restrictions on firearm ownership. I would not doubt but that his final goal is total disarmament of Canada’s civilian population. Such an event would leave Canada a socialist police state with no unalienable civil rights.
Already Canada has imposed fines and prison sentences for Christian preachers who teach from the pulpit that homosexuality is a sin, or that marriage is only a union between a man and a woman. Canada has strict anti “hate speech” laws.
Unlike the United States Bill of Rights, which was part of our Constitution from the beginning, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms did not become part of Canada’s constitution until 1982. According to a Canadian governmental fact sheet, “The Constitution is the supreme law of Canada; all other laws must be consistent with the rules set out in it. If they are not, they may not be valid. Since the Charter is part of the Constitution, it is the most important law we have in Canada.
However, the rights and freedoms in the Charter are not absolute. They can be limited to protect other rights or important national values. For example, freedom of expression may be limited by laws against hate propaganda or child pornography. Section 1 of the Charter says that Charter rights can be limited by law so long as those limits can be shown to be reasonable in a free and democratic society.”
Canada is fast becoming a democracy in name only.

Had I not checked this out myself, I would have thought this to be an April Fools joke. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has authorized all FFL licensees to sell firearms through drive-up windows of their stores.
Or in outdoor kiosks.
Or in parking lots.
Life is good!
The ATF’s April 10 letter to FFL licensees issued the new guidlines in response to the coronavirus disease (WU HAN virus 武漢病毒).
“In light of the March 13, 2020, declaration of a national emergency concerning the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and the Department of Homeland Security’s subsequent classification of firearms businesses as essential, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has received questions from industry members regarding the legality of firearm sales and deliveries exterior to the brick-and-mortar structure at which the firearms business is licensed. Specifically, Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) have requested guidance regarding whether they may verify customer identity and permit the completion of paperwork, including for purposes of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System; accept payment; and deliver firearms or ammunition to customers (collectively, “the requested activities”) in the following settings:
(1) a drive-up or walk-up window or doorway on the FFL’s property;
(2) a temporary table or booth located in a parking lot on the FFL’s property; and
(3) a nearby space that is not located on the FFL’s property.As is further detailed below, pursuant to the Gun Control Act (GCA) and its ATF Federal Firearms Licensees. ”
According to USA Today . . .
“The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, in new guidance to federally licensed firearm retailers, said Friday that dealers can provide drive-up or walk-up service to reduce health risks posed by the coronavirus.
The guidance was issued, the ATF said, in response industry questions about how business transactions could be restricted following the declaration of a national health emergency.
The move was made at the request of the National Shooting Sports Foundation in an effort to expedite background checks and make the firearms sales process as safe for both gun retailers and customers as possible given COVID-19 武漢病毒 social distancing guidelines.”
As might be expected, the usual whiny libtard snowflakes are having a meltdown.
This is too much. The Trump administration and continues to outdo itself in taking every possible step to pander to the gun lobby during a national crisis and global pandemic. #StopTheCoronavirusGunSurge #COVID19 https://t.co/wJ15a21V22
Kris Brown (@KrisB_Brown) April 11, 2020– First, the Trump administration declared gun stores “essential.” Now, the ATF is promoting them to operate “drive-through” windows. Let’s be clear, gun stores are NOT McDonalds. You shouldn’t be able to buy an AR-15 like you do a burger and fries.
https://t.co/eQvFYOQRuR Brady | United Against Gun Violence (@bradybuzz) April 11, 202–The ATF is recommending gun stores operate using drive through windows. Support local restaurants, go to their drive throughs instead.

Just a little over a week ago Chiraq had their most violent day of shootings so far this year. And despite the “stay at home” order, the shootings continued to rack up this past weekend.
Apparently it’s still business as usual in Chiraq.
From MyFoxChicago: A man was killed and 22 other people, including a 2-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, have been injured by gunfire across Chicago so far this weekend.
The fatal attack happened Saturday night in Englewood on the South Side. Two men were sitting in a parked vehicle at 11:56 p.m. when someone walked up and fired shots in the 5700 block of South May Street, according to Chicago police. A 22-year-old man was hit multiple times in the side and ran to a nearby alley.
He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified him as Alexis Perez of Edgewater on the North Side.
The other man, 39, was hit in both shoulders and taken to the same hospital in fair condition, police said.
The 2-year-old and a 28-year-old man were hurt in the weekend’s first shooting Friday evening in Gresham on the South Side.
They were in a vehicle about 6 p.m. on West 84th Street when another vehicle pulled up and someone fired shots, hitting the man and the toddler, police said. The man’s vehicle rammed into a porch and came to a rest in the 8400 block of South Damen Avenue.
The man was shot in the back of the head and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, police said. The boy was hit in the foot, and his condition was stabilized at Little Company of Mary Hospital.
A teenage girl was also injured Saturday night in Ashburn on the Southwest Side. The 17-year-old was a passenger in a vehicle at a stop sign at 11:01 p.m. on 79th Place when a white Ford Taurus with dark tinted windows pulled up, according to police. Two males got out of the Taurus and fired multiple shots, hitting the girl in the leg. The girl flagged down officers in Marquette Park and was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition.
Six people were hurt in a series of shootings lasting just over an hour early Sunday in Lawndale and Englewood.
The most recent attack left three people injured in Lawndale on the West Side.
At least six other people have been shot throughout Chicago since 5 p.m. Friday.
Last week, three people were killed and 19 others were injured in gun violence across the city over Easter weekend.

About 7:35 p.m., a group of people were sitting on the front porch of a home in the 8600 block of South Damen Avenue when someone in a black sedan fired shots, Chicago police said.
Paul Boyd, a 37-year-old Hazel Crest man, was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
A 5-year-old girl who was shot in the foot was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital in good condition, police said.

The Wuhan virus worldwide epidemic, caused by the Chicoms and enabled by our DNC-run media, has spurred a unique phenomenon: U.S. law-abiding citizens are ordered to stay home while criminals are going free.
See the following examples:
Philly Police: No Arrests for Auto Theft, Burglary, Vandalism, and more, over Coronavirus
NYC to begin releasing inmates amid coronavirus outbreak
U.S. judge widens order, urging ICE to release migrant illegal alien families with young children in coronavirus outbreak
Ohio jail to release hundreds of inmates amid coronavirus concerns
Some non-violent, low-level inmates being released from Sacramento jails amid coronavirus pandemic
The left tell you that you don’t need a gun to protect yourself. After all, you can just vomit or pee on an intruder to stop them!
GOOD LUCK with that, my friend…
Keep ‘em locked and loaded. Because our Americans streets are about to get very, very dangerous.

Every gun-grabber’s dream: Use the Wuhan virus as an excuse to suspend your Second Amendment rights. See the following examples:
Los Angeles: “LA County Sheriff tells me he is beginning to close county gun stores immediately. Deputies are currently going to the stores one by one to order them shut down. Sheriff to utilize scofflaw violations for any gun store still open after he deemed them nonessential.
The Sheriff told me he is a gun owner himself, supports 2nd amendment, but believes too many first time buyers are panicking and bringing guns into homes where people are locked down, which he believes is recipe for disaster with potential accidental shootings.”
(The stores in Burbank are going to remain open because they facilitate security needs. They were ordered to close on Saturday, but the city revised it today.)
Pennsylvania: “Big news: PA Governor Tom Wolf has issued new guidelines that will allow gun stores to remain open across the state, as long as they follow specific social distancing mandates.
The governor’s order is very close to the ideas offered up by three state Supreme Court justices in their dissenting opinion in a suit challenging the governor’s original declaration about “essential” businesses.
Stores will be allowed to operate by appointment only, with undefined “limited” hours, so it’s not perfect. It’s better, and I hope it can be continued to be improved to ensure Pennsylvanians access to their rights.”
North Carolina: “Wake County Sheriff’s Office just suspended ALL pistol permit applications due to “unprecedented demand for weapons.” They will not reopen applications in Wake county until APRIL 30th. They say they’ve seen a 250% increase in demand.”
New Jersey: “New Jersey governor Phil Murphy has ordered all gun stores in the state to remain closed during the declared state of emergency over the coronavirus.”
Apparently gun-grabbers believe gun stores are “non essential” businesses and that an “increase in demand” means they can suspend your rights. Figures.
And this is WHY we need the Second Amendment to protect ourselves (posted at 9:19 last night): “Police in Yakima, Washington now say they DO NOT KNOW how many inmates have escaped local jail, witnesses report at least 20.”
All but eight are “unaccounted for.”
Watch the video of the inmates (obviously not yet fully processed as they are still in civilian clothing?) escaping here.
