I certainly hope so; however, I’m not sure. The Commonwealth of Virginia’s Legislature recently passed a law severely limiting the possession, purchase and use of firearms referred to as assault weapons without proper licensing. It is expected to be signed into law by Governor Spanberger, a radical liberal.
The term “assault weapon” is bandied about: however, a definition of such a weapon is vague. In fact, if used in an aggressive manner, isn’t a .22 caliber pistol an assault weapon? The impression that getting rid of firearms will get rid of crime is . . . well . . . moronic. Criminals will not rid themselves of weapons and criminal activity regardless of the motive. Chances are that crime will increase when the criminal is assured that his victim is unarmed.
In fact, blanket bans on firearms is unconstitutional! The Founding Fathers rightfully expressed concerns about such a concept and included the Second Amendment out of fear that future leaders would do just that to control the population. “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.” It sounds to me like the Fathers had it right . . .
It may surprise you, but I have concerns about laws restricting concealed weapons. There is nothing in the Second Amendment mandating that arms must be openly carried. The fact that a weapon was concealed should only come into play if a crime is committed. A permit should not be required. Let’s assume that a citizen uses his concealed weapon to prevent a vicious crime. Should that citizen then be charged with carrying a concealed weapon?
I don’t envision average citizens carrying a weapon concealed unless they have a reason and, if that is the case, shouldn’t they have a right to defend themselves?
Do laws like the one mentioned in Virginia save America? The answer is a resounding no! Efforts like Save America do. I find it incomprehensible that the concept of election integrity faces such strong opposition on the part of leftist congressional leaders Chuckie and Hakeem. This is especially true considering the fact that an overwhelming majority of voters approve the concept. Included in that majority are Democrats and Independents. The fact that non-citizens should be excluded is obvious.
And when we are facing a very dangerous time, Chuckie and Hakeem see fit to oppose refunding the Department of Homeland Security at a time when it is so essential to the safety of Americans. I am convinced that a good percentage of Democrats disagree with their leaders and that could come to light during the midterm election.
Trump recently appointed Vice President Vance to direct investigations into fraud activity, primarily in the medical realm. Hospice fraud is running rampant. Doctor OZ recently visited Los Angeles because of reports by investigators and discovered 1800 hospices within a three square mile radius! There were 89 in a single building, all billing your tax money. Of course, none contained any patients. Word has it that the Russian mafia is behind it.
As I’ve indicated previously, fraud is rampant in federal government programs and has been totally ignored by previous administrations. I believe the American people will be stunned when they discover the extent of the fraud. Not only stunned, but extremely angry.
Is it me or are we having some pretty unusual weather activity this spring? Tornadoes are everywhere and destruction is immense. One was recorded at 150 miles per hour with six-inch hail! The Midwest was particularly hard hit. Fires resulting from strong winds in Nebraska have devastated hundreds of thousands of acres resulting at least one death.
And the SAVE Act legislation remains stalled in the Senate primarily because John Thune cannot rally significant Republican votes to get it passed and to the president’s signature. Leftists aren’t the only problem . . .
