The Progressive Backlash to DeSantis's
Permitless Carry Is Baseless and Unhinged

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 4/5/2023 7:24:22 AM

On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law allowing "constitutional carry" in his state. Then, progressives and Democrats online had an absolute meltdown in response. "Sickening," the official Democratic Party's Twitter account wrote of the news. "Hiding behind closed doors and with the NRA by his side, Ron DeSantis just signed a bill that could make it easier for criminals to carry guns. He's prioritizing winning the MAGA base over our kids' safety." [Tweet] The Biden administration evidently agrees, as White House Press Secretary similarly tweeted, "It is shameful that so soon after another tragic school shooting, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a permitless concealed carry

We dont need a permit to converse worldwide as guaranteed by the 1st. Why should we need a permit to carry when that right is guaranteed by the 2nd? In fact, NO OTHER amendment requires a permit.

I don't think Thugs, Robbers and Car Jackers worry too much about having to have a Permit to Carry! Thousands of Floridians have Permits and Thousands also Carry. That's why I always say Robbers who like to kick down doors to Rob someone, in Florida, are super stupid because so many Seniors (who the Robbers think are helpless and an Easy Target, have Guns in their home and know how to use them! We have a Super great Shooter's World in Our Area and it's always busy with Folks who go there to Practice handling their Gun!

If guns were made 100% illegal to own or to carry does any sane person think the thugs would suddenly stop using guns to commit their various crimes?? How much safer would you feel if all you had to protect yourself and family was a steak knife. Guns are the equalizer for the old, and small people against much physically superior persons whom wish to cause harm. What am I missing in the Left's argument about legal carry laws?

They are not after guns. They are after your God given right of self defense which transcends human law and political constructs.. If that can be brought under state control, everything else is fair game. To Libs the stakes are highest. They will go back on anything else but not this.

In Newsweek?? This is disorienting. The Constitution is simple and clear. "......the RIGHT to keep and BEAR arms shall not be infringed. " SHALL NOT.....zero equivocation there to protect both "keep" and "bear"....as in carry around with you.

I've been carrying legally for 12 years. Constitutional carry since 2016. Never seen nor heard of a problem. Never had to draw. When I've had interactions with the police I always inform them that I'm carrying and they have always been cool with it. Those communists are a one trick pony.

Re #13, I got my first permit in Florida in the 90s, and it was good in about 20 states then.....but not my home state of KS. In 2006 fifteen years of work finally paid off and we got CCW legalized, after overriding the rotten Dem gov's veto. I got my permit on Jan.3, 2007, the first day you could do it. I've been carrying daily since then, so 15+ years, and even though we have had Constitutiona Carry for years, I keep my permit up to date so that when we travel we are covered. Illinois is the only state that we pass through that we aren't legal to carry in, but they fixed their CCW statute a number of years back so that out of state CCW permitees were OK to be armed inside their cars just driving through. So, instead of having to stop before we got to Illinois and unload the guns, put them in the trunk, boxed separately from the ammo, then reverse this all when we left Illinois a few hours later, we can just drive through, armed inside the car. My KS permit is good in all states less Oregon, Crazyfornia, Illinois, Maryland and the nutball states of NY, Conn, RI, Mass. I'm good in Vermont NH and Maine, but never go there any more because I'd have to pass through the Crazy Zone and be disarmed to get there. I've been to Vermont, NH and Maine...nothing calling me back. Constitutional carry is legal in 26 states now, not legal in 24. This needs to be made legal in ALL states.

On his Friday night show, Tucker Carlson called “transgender” activists the most dangerous domestic terrorists in America. He’s correct. They are the equivalent of religious fanatics because they have a manic faith that is belied by observable reality, which means they that constantly have to pitch themselves to a high emotional amplitude to override the real world impinging on their faith. The Democrats, from Biden on down, rather than working to tamp down this madness, are doing their best to amplify this insane frequency, by assuring these already maddened people that they are the victims of a planned Republican “genocide.” The escalating number of violent attacks by this mentally-ill

There’s been an interesting development in the prosecution of the January 6 rioters. A three-judge appeals court has ruled 2-1 that the Justice Department can proceed with several hundred cases where defendants are charged with obstructing an official proceeding — for the time being. What’s still to be decided is whether or not about 300 rioters acted with “corrupt intent” in invading the Capitol building during an official proceeding. And all three appeals court judges questioned whether the prosecution had interpreted “corrupt intent” on the part of the rioters correctly. What seems esoteric in nature is actually crucial to the defense of hundreds

The two subjects Democrats like to talk about the most are democracy and existential threats, threats to our democracy and existence. Since Democrats live in a Bizarro world, everything they say is opposite of reality and priority. These threats to our existence if made in opposite order of consequence would be Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, and...drum roll, please...the Democrats themselves!

Upon receiving the news of the horrific killing of six people, including three nine-year old children, by a deranged and troubled shooter in Nashville, the Democrats and their stenographers in what passes as our “news” media immediately began their cultish ritual: knee-jerk calls for stricter gun control. In a revealing exchange between CNN’s Dana Bash and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Bash accused House Republicans of loving guns more than children. She asked: "Are you…telling the American people that mass shootings, including of young children, is just something that’s going to happen and you’re not going to make any moves, at this point to try to stop it?

Riley Black is a “trans dinosaur expert” not only in the sense of being a dinosaur expert who is also transgender. He is also an expert, or so his credentials say, on trans dinosaurs. Here is an excerpt from Riley’s 2019 treatise on “transgender dinosaurs” in 2019, via Nature (emphases added): Most official forms give you the binary demographic choices of ‘male’ and ‘female’, but I don’t feel comfortable assigning myself to one or the other for my gender.

Kamala Harris is truly the most tone-deaf, incapable politician of the modern era. She’s so terrible that she makes Hillary Clinton seem personable and compelling. That reality was on full display on Friday as Harris jetted off to Nashville to visit the “Tennessee Three” and to stump for gun control. That decision came after the Biden administration originally all but ignored the tragic mass shooting by a transgender militant that set off the current chain of events. To this day, no one within the administration has even mentioned that the murderer purposely targeted Christians in an obvious hate crime. To that effect, it was also obvious that Harris had no intention

Hopefully, more and more Americans are becoming aware that modern liberalism is moving increasingly away from any semblance of normalized, rational thought and behavior. The Left’s whole mindset has become radicalized. One of the Democratic Party’s main coalitions, of course, is based on “race” and “racism,” and thus their followers are being trained to think in those terms and see almost everything through a “racial” lens. It is ludicrous in the extreme, but is an unwavering staple of modern Leftist thought. It isn’t really “thought,” it’s brainwashing, a blind acceptance of propaganda with no real evidence to support it. A guy named Greg recently compiled a list

Public education has long been a battlefield in the U.S., from the Scopes trial to desegregation to climate change. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s recent demands for greater control over public education—and students’ bodies—in the guise of “parent’s rights” accelerates this conflict, rejecting the importance of learning as a public good in itself in favor of promoting conformity and uncritical thinking. As a historian of fascism and Italian fascist education, I find the moves to exert more power over education disturbingly familiar.
