Hamas stores and deploys missiles from; schools, hospitals, mosques and UN buildings. These same politicians are supporting them.

Make the same law apply to the U.S. Capitol building.

Ironic, isn’t it?

You see, Edward Markey has a security detail.


Ah, but the devil is in the details. Security details under government control are specifically exempted from the law. So he’ll stay protected while your church will not be. You see, only governments are wise enough to properly use deadly force. /s

Remember the Secret Service agents who shot (and missed) at the guys attempting to carjack an empty car in D.C.? Were they charged with a crime like anyone else would be? Of course not.

I’ve read that the 2nd Amendment term “well regulated” meant a militia that drilled and had training.

Seems like this Bill would make that impossible.

Part of the crudity…

F them. Ignore them.

Do not comply.

Do not obey.

And as a matter of fact… Show up with a battle rifle strapped on your back.

Just to give them a giant, American middle finger in their face

Henry “Hank” Johnson, a representative with cognitive function comparable to that of President Biden, who once expressed concern

That's confusing. Since the closing appositive comma makes it seem as if Biden is the one who expressed concern, I would replace it with "and":

representative Henry “Hank” Johnson, a representative with cognitive function comparable to that of President Biden and who once expressed concern that the island of Guam could become so overpopulated that it would “tip over and capsize.”

FROM ARTICLE:
“...defines a paramilitary group as any group of 3 or more persons who function under a command structure as a “security services unit.”
If passed, the bill would make it illegal to “publicly patrol, drill, or engage in techniques capable of causing bodily injury or death.”

BASICALLY this bill outlaws militias? Unconstitutional on its face??

there should be a law that criminalizes lawmakers who try to criminalize law abiding citizens who want their right to self defense!

The word most feared in DC is 'accountability'. How about a ten thousand dollar fine for any member of congress who passes a law later determined to be unconstitutional.

They acted outside their scope of constitutional authority and should pay a price for their failure to follow their oath of office.

the only problem will be that liberals will expect the gop to be subject ot that law, while liberals can ignore it at will because they own or control all the power, and the gop either can’t or won’t do anything to dispute that-

Sponsored in the U.S. Senate by Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) and cosponsored by Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA), the Preventing Private Military Activity Act of 2024 widely defines a paramilitary group as any group of 3 or more persons who function under a command structure as a “security services unit.”

Antifa hates competition. Also, Democrats are indeed Communists, so let's be sure, this November, to "teach the GOP a lesson" for being dumb enough to support Yew Crane.

I’m sure such things have attended some churches- and noticed the security and decided to behave.

Given that this is a complete non-starter and just kneepad service to gun-grabbing nutroots like Gabby “1-2-3...Potato!” Giffords’ Americans for Responsible Solutions, which has now ensared the Sandy Schnook Leftards, anything that gives Senator Laphonza Butler even some faux gravitas when she throws her substantial weight behind Barbara Lee to beat Schiff is fine by me.

My pastor does not concern himself with crackpot legislators who are constantly trolling for votes in wacked-out states with emotionally crazed majorities.

Shawtie on something strong, like Dumbrontin or Sheboonzic. I thought for sure that was satire.

Well, the only hope of beating Schitt now is Trump landslide and hopefully Garvey gets smart and hires a couple of Youngkin's advisors, who walked the perfect tightrope.
