I know that the Socialists in Congress have “shelved” their attempt to ban “weapons of war” i.e. ARs and AKs (for the moment), but this little exchange should prove interesting:
As Massie puts it (I paraphrase slightly): “Who are the Department of Agriculture and Department of Education planning on going to war with, if their employees are to be excepted from this prohibition?”
Let us record the words of the late (and dearly-missed) H.L. Mencken, who stated:
“The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol to his head. Put it in his hand and it’s goodbye to the Bill of Rights.”
And quod erat demonstratum, today.
Mencken is right. So is Massie. Far too many agencies are armed and they have no business being armed at all.

Apparently, the Wicked Witch of the West has twisted enough arms and found enough Repub squishes (but, I repeat myself), and has called for a fast tracked vote on the “AR-15 Ban” bill late this afternoon.

I fear for the Republic when Cocaine Mitch becomes the defended of our Freedoms.
HR 1808, The Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, passed the House with a three vote margin:

I fear a deal has already been struck with Bitch McConnell for his usual 30 Pieces of Silver.
