It Just the Law, It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense

Quote of the Day

Trump getting the nuclear codes while he legally can’t own a gun is objectively hilarious. Like something out of satire.

That is funny!

On a much smaller scale, In Seattle, I can be legally carrying a fully loaded handgun and a spare magazine. Then, get arrested for the slingshot in my hip pocket.

  1. “On a much smaller scale, In Seattle, I can be legally carrying a fully loaded handgun and a spare magazine. Then, get arrested for the slingshot in my hip pocket.”

    Virginia’s the same. It’s not a concealed weapons permit, it’s a concealed handgun permit. Carry any other of the proscribed weapons concealed from common observation and you’re a criminal.

    • Same here in Kommiecticut. Carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle all day long; but not a club, certain knives, brass knuckles, blackjack, etc.

      • In the People’s Republic of Commiefornia, carrying a pistol without a ccw permit is a misdemeanor, but carrying a knife of excessive length is a felony.
        And once, in Property Class in Law School. Professor Stewart thundered from his lectern, “Reason? Hell, there is no reason; it’s just the law!”

        As for President Trump being not permitted to carry a gun himself — has he actually been convicted? I am deeply suspicious of ANY conclusion a Leftist draws about economics, politics and the law, and for evidence that my suspicion is well-founded, I present everything a Leftist has said over the last thirty years. Among other things, the inability to distinguish between a court decision and having a case dismissed before a hearing due to lack of standing is prime.

        Joseph Biden was allowed access to the nuclear codes in spite of his handlers deeming him incompetent with anything sharper than a teaspoon.

        And countless actually convicted felons are allowed to possess any amount of gasoline and any number of matches, whether the strike-anywhere variety or the so-called “Safety Matches.”

  2. Hopefully, those convictions will disappear soon. The Second Amendment Foundation has a long standing position that the prohibition should be eliminated for non-violent felonies. As I recall Alan Gottlieb has such a conviction. Something about accounting I think. Personally, I would go further and just eliminate the prohibition as long as the sentence is served. It’s not like actually criminals pay any attention anyway.

  3. Well OK, But they stole and election so Joe Biden could have them in his mental state that was a lot less than competent. (Brains dripping into his diaper.) And has committed more felonies than one can count.
    Then they tried to do the same for a drunk whore. (That didn’t have any brains to lose in the first place.) And who surpassed California’s three felonies, you’re out, law. Before she got out of Willie Brown’s bedroom.
    And launch codes probably don’t matter anyway cause the Chinese have a backdoor built in that allows them to turn off NORAD’s whole system by now.
    Donald J. Trump is definitely a felon.
    But not so by the kangaroos up in New York. The case’s, all of them, should have been tossed for lack of standing. As no parties were injured. Stormy Daniels was a whore in the first place. And the other gal couldn’t remember when it happened. And lying to bankers? Oh please!
    And then so is the grandma they still have in prison for praying at the children’s genocide center and baby parts warehouse. (The first person Trump should pardon.)
    So, felons ain’t exactly what they used to be.
    All laws have to serve justice. Without it, they shouldn’t be applied.
    The problem is when we allow communist’s (Criminals against humanity), to dictate what justice is. (Thus, the layering of the application of law.)
    As for felon’s carrying guns? No communist cares if felons carry guns. As long as it’s a communist felon doing the carrying.

    • We have felonies now from the Federal Government in the United States Code Annotated, for which you do not need Mens Reas, the intention to break the law. Strict liability, so to speak. Trespass, in the wrong place, and even if you think you’re over on the Mojave Desert Reserve, but are on the Marine Corps training ground near Twenty-nine Palms, you’re guilty. and it’s a felony.

  4. I’ve had police steal (under the pretext it was illegal–which it was not) a balisong from the back seat of my car. But even without my CHP, a loaded pistol in that place would have been perfectly legal.

  5. It IS hilarious, but only until you remember that it’s the trials that were a joke.

  6. Let’s think about those New York trials. Even without getting into the made-up crimes and disallowing Trump from presenting defense witnesses:

    Tainted jury pool. They’re drawing juries from the voters that elected a state attorney general because he promised to prosecute Trump.

    Biased judges. It’s not only time for the Supreme Court to throw out the criminal conviction and the civil suit, but to enter a permanent injunction requiring those judges to recuse themselves whenever any party to a court case requests it.

    Lack of a specified crime. In the “election interference” case, the prosecutor and judge gave the jury three different theories of three different underlying crimes, and did not require the jurors to agree on one.
