The Police, Gun Control, and Constitutional Carry

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com.

Last Saturday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott asked his state's “Board of Pardons and Paroles” to pardon and expedite said pardon in regard to Army Sgt. Daniel Perry. Convicted of murder and facing life in prison, Sgt. Perry shot 28-year old Black Lives Matter protester Garret Foster, during a July 25, 2020 anti-police protest following George Floyd's death. The protester, who pointed an AK-47 at Perry who was driving his vehicle as an Uber on the night in question, was simply trying to maneuver to safety through a crowd of violent BLM protesters when Foster pointed said AK-47 into the open window of Perry's car ready to pull the trigger. Perry, who admitted at trial that he shot Foster with his .357 revolver, obviously fearing for his life, and in self defense responded by opening fire and killing the rioting thug...and rightfully so under the Texas's “Stand Your Ground” law. After all, armed and anything but peaceful protesters blocking a major street and pointing guns at cars simply trying to get through, in actuality constitutes a riot.

Simply, self defense is not and must never be considered murder no matter what the jury or this Soros backed prosecutor say...a prosecutor who has a radical leftist agenda of his own to push forward...an agenda that has nothing to do with justice at all. And besides, taking out the garbage...as in a violent and armed BLM thug...in my opinion is doing Texas citizens a public service.

Also, a few weeks ago in California, a suspect who was a known gang member...a man with a $1 million warrant out for his arrest...a man with a long and extensive criminal record who was just released from prison late last year...was now wanted for both murder and attempted murder. Able to flee from police after being cornered, a chase ensued along with orders being given for the suspect to surrender. But not only did said suspect fail to comply, but he then physically attacked a female South Gate police officer, punched her in the face, and tried to disarm her where at this point the officer...who heroically would not let go of her weapon...fatally shot the suspect two times, and who died of his wounds on scene. And surprising it was not...this happened in California after all...but this man was yet another convicted felon with a gun...a gun wrongfully gotten but thankfully being recovered on scene, thus no charges should be leveled against the officer as this indeed was a justifiable “take down.”

 

And as with the armed BLM protester, this piece of garbage who would surely have killed said officer if given the chance, saved California taxpayers huge sums of money on both a trial and his what should be decades long incarceration. But reality being what it is, and with California DA's being some of the most liberal in the country, said suspect, if caught, would probably have gotten away with but a slap on the wrist, if even that.

And then last Monday, former intern and now full-time associate and portfolio banker Connor Sturgeon, age 25, casually walked into the Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky and killed five people (with one dying of their wounds in hospital)...including both a police officer and two close friends of Kentucky's Gov. Andy Beshear...and injured nine others. And why...simply because he had recently been told that he was being “let go.” Thankfully, this but yet another, in my opinion, piece of human garbage died in a shootout with police...police who arrived on scene within 3-minutes of receiving the call that a shooting was in progress at the bank.

But instead of focusing on the victims and the lives the police action saved, liberal media news sites instead kept pointing out that Kentucky is one of 26 states that allow “permit less” carry of firearms for “eligible” adults”...“eligible” as in non-felony convicted adults. In fact, Kentucky passed a law back in 2019 that removed the provisions that mandated state gun owners pass a background check if they were going to “conceal carry” a firearm. Simply, in Kentucky, as per the law, most adults over 21 can purchase and carry a firearm and take said firearm to most places in the state without a license. Too bad no one in the bank that day was “carrying”...more lives probably would have been saved and injuries prevented even before the police arrived on scene.

So here we have three cases of “good guys” with guns taking out “bad guys” with guns, but in the Texas case the “good guy” Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, was deemed to be the “bad guy.” And why...because prosecutors said Perry had plenty of choices, including driving away, but instead chose to fire his legally purchased revolver no matter that  Garrett Foster approached him and pointed an AK-47 rifle directly into his car...an assault weapon more deadly than any revolver will ever be.

Excuses again being made for a perpetrator's actions...excuses made by prosecutors who align with the left as the perpetrator becomes the victim and the true victim morphs into the perp.

And here I must thank our great Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for on July 1st, permit less “concealed carry”...aka “Constitutional Carry”...goes into effect...giving new meaning to the old adage “behind every blade of grass.” And while the great state of Texas allows “open carry”...no concealing of firearms is necessary...I actually believe that concealing one's firearm is better. Why so...because the “bad guys” won't know who other than the police might have a firearm on their person which in itself might lead to reduced crime numbers for even the “bad guys” don't want to be blown away by their would be victims.

And here's something to now think about...for better or worse. What would happen to crime numbers if all of America's police went “plain clothes”...would those out to do harm be forced to think twice about their actions not knowing who would be their victim and who could take them down...a strong possibility indeed.

But at this point I think the best we can hope for is that more states amend whatever gun laws they have in place and adopt into law “Constitutional Carry.” Why so...because the firearm haters and misguided gun control loons see no sign of abating any time soon. And while the anti-gun numbers remain basically unchanged over these past few years, those who still cannot accept the reality that “guns don't kill people, people kill people,” seem to be more vocal than ever. In fact, the blame game once again has fallen on Republicans whom Biden blames for the recent increase in gun violence. “Once again, our nation mourns after a senseless act of gun violence,” he tweeted after the Kentucky shooting adding that, “Jill and I pray for the lives lost and impacted by today's shooting. Too many Americans are paying for the price of inaction with their lives...when will Republicans in Congress act to protect our communities?”

But the truth remains...whether Biden and crew like it or not..that more gun violence, that more are killed by Democrats on the Democrats watch both in states and cities they control, than it does when Republicans are in charge. After all, left leaning district attorney's more times than not refuse to prosecute let alone charge those who have been arrested time and time again.

In fact, prior to the Kentucky bank shooting, in the first 3-1/2 months of this year alone, there were at least 145 mass shootings here in the U.S. with many committed by so-called “career criminals” whose previous sentences were barely served. And this is according to data from the “Gun Violence Archive,” who defines a “mass shooting” as one in which at least four people are shot and killed, excluding the shooter. And in Democratic cities and states...both having the strictest gun laws...sees them having the highest murder rates and shootings in the U.S. proving that “gun control doesn't work.”

And why...because gun control has been tried before and in a word, “failed.” For example, after the recent school shooting at The Nashville Covenant School, Biden put pressure on Congress to look at imposing a ban on what's called “assault weapons”...weapons that were legally purchased and used during the Covenant School attack. In fact, Biden actually pleaded with Congress to act saying that, “Why in God’s name do we allow these weapons of war on our streets and at our schools?” Simple answer...we don't...but the fact sadly remains that those hell bent on committing such atrocities will always find a way to secure such weapons, and more times than not secure them via criminal means than by legally purchasing them.

And the fact is that mass murders rose in number even after a 1994 federal assault weapons ban became part of the, “Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.” And why...because said ban was limited in scope pertaining only to certain categories of semiautomatic weapons alone, including, but not limited to, AR-15s. Also, the “Act“ applied only to purchases done after the “Act” was signed into law, thus allowing folks to keep such weapons purchased before its implementation date went into effect. And while the law as passed included a “sunset provision“ ...which allowed the ban to expire in 2004... the murder rate itself did not go down nor did the number of mass shootings even with said “Act“ in place.

Why so? While some claim that even with a fair amount of gun control laws already in place that certain key factors contribute to the current rise in both murder rates and mass shootings...especially in workplace shootings. And it's things like domestic violence; political and religious extremism; undiagnosed and/or untreated mental illness; overly lenient laws regarding the purchase of firearms; along with the rise in color-based hate groups that these folks use as excuses. But the simple fact is that those determined to commit murder, for whatever reason, don't give a damn about old let alone newly proposed gun control laws and never will, rendering excuses made but fodder for the gullible and Second Amendment haters alone.

Simply, gun control laws never stopped and will never stop anyone set on killing for all said laws do is test the will of the killer by turning the act of killing itself into a challenge of sorts that too many are willing to gamble their own life upon...a truly warped game of “Russian Roulette” if you will. Better to live in the annals of infamy than to die a nobody...so believes many twisted minds...minds solely focused on completing their self-anointed mission. And it's this very thing that the left side of the political aisle along with the anti-gun sorts refuse to see let alone accept as fact.

And until these folks do...until those relishing in what is actually a form of blindfolded justice...until families act on the warning signs many killers taunt their family and friends with before they commit unspeakable acts...the number of mass shootings of innocents and murders in general will continue to rise. And it's the “good guys” with guns... meaning the police...who will be the one's left to shoulder the blame and have to answer for the “take down” of folks who in reality are simply better off dead. Harsh words I know, but reality and truth often does tend to be unkind. Case closed.

Op-ed:
The Media, Pronouns, and Simple Solutions Ignored
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

...And as to be expected, the Democrat controlled media, the Second Amendment haters, and assorted kumbaya liberal sorts...immediately started spewing out their ever so foolish “gun control” narrative. Using in their anti-gun discourse the usual rhetoric ranging from blaming the NRA to calling for bans on all assault weapons, what is always forgotten in their rantings is the indisputable truth that guns...that assault weapons...do not kill people... people kill people...as no gun, no rifle, no assault weapon has ever loaded itself and killed anyone. Simply, it takes pulling the trigger actions of a human hand to kill...the very tangible reality the media and those on the left refuse to accept as fact.

Better they protest against an inanimate object...better they call for an inanimate object to be banned than it is to get the obviously mentally ill the help that they need before they commit such deadly acts. Better to keep mental illness and insanity locked in the proverbial closet than it is to accept as fact that some folks simply do not and might never be able to live amongst civilized men and women. Better to do all that than admit that warnings of insanity were either overlooked or ignored in situations such as school shootings, most especially if it meets the left's gun control narrative...Read entire article and see videos here.

The Media, Pronouns, and Simple Solutions Ignored

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com.

Six innocents are now dead. Three adults and three 9-year old children were brutally murdered last Monday at The Nashville Covenant School, a Christian private school...murdered in a carefully planned and then carried out attack by one Audrey Hale, a 28-year old Nashville based illustrator and graphic designer who had no criminal record prior to the massacre, but who former middle school friends deemed to be somewhat “stalker like” in her actions. Hale identified as transgender...as in a “she wanna-be he.” Rightfully shot dead by Nashville police officers...the “good guys” with guns...their actions saved not only more innocent lives, but saved Tennessee taxpayers countless millions of dollars on a trial and years of appeals and excuses made for why this person did what “she” did.

And while we know that this true piece of “human garbage”...to me the deliberate killing of children puts one in that category...did legally purchase seven firearms from five different local stores...three of which...an AR-style rifle and an AR-style pistol plus one handgun...were used in Monday’s shooting, we now have learned that “she” was able to hide all seven firearms in “her” family home without “her” parents knowledge. Interesting in the fact that one would think that Audrey's parents would be more diligent as to their daughters comings and goings especially with their knowing that “she” was under a doctor's care for what the media says is an “emotional disorder”... what I assume is related to Audrey Hale thinking that “she” was not a “woman” but a “man.”

Now here I must state that, in my opinion, what is called transgenderism does not fall under the category of being a mere “emotional disorder,” but in actuality is a serious “mental illness.” To say otherwise ignores true scientific fact that until ones genetic code...as in ones DNA...can be changed...a scientific and medical impossibility at this point in time...one remains as one was born with all else being but “play acting” at best. And it's “play acting”...as in pretending...being condoned by unscrupulous doctors who willingly ignore the one cardinal rule in medicine...as in to “do no harm”...with their doing so by pumping hormones into and performing knowingly mutilating surgeries even on very young children. And most go along with this butchery for the all-mighty dollar alone...surgeries many so-called “trans folks” come to regret as they get older and ever so much wiser.

And as to be expected, the Democrat controlled media, the Second Amendment haters, and assorted kumbaya liberal sorts...immediately started spewing out their ever so foolish “gun control” narrative. Using in their anti-gun discourse the usual rhetoric ranging from blaming the NRA to calling for bans on all assault weapons, what is always forgotten in their rantings is the indisputable truth that guns...that assault weapons...do not kill people... people kill people...as no gun, no rifle, no assault weapon has ever loaded itself and killed anyone. Simply, it takes pulling the trigger actions of a human hand to kill...the very tangible reality the media and those on the left refuse to accept as fact.

Better they protest against an inanimate object...better they call for an inanimate object to be banned than it is to get the obviously mentally ill the help that they need before they commit such deadly acts. Better to keep mental illness and insanity locked in the proverbial closet than it is to accept as fact that some folks simply do not and might never be able to live amongst civilized men and women. Better to do all that than admit that warnings of insanity were either overlooked or ignored in situations such as school shootings, most especially if it meets the left's gun control narrative.

And what these same folks also forget...or more likely choose to ignore...is the all-important, ever so critical fact that shootings such as the Nashville Covenant School murder spree could have easily been prevented if the school's entry had not just been looked down with a key and/or a bolt, but if the the doors themselves had been constructed of bulletproof materials including bulletproof glass. And sadly in today's world, and most important of all, all schools, thanks to the uptick in the number of school shootings that have taken place over the past few years, all schools no matter the grade level...and I mean each and every school both public and private..now need to have at least one armed police officer stationed at every major point of entry along with teachers being armed if they so desire.

This simple solution clearly lies in plain sight, but the political based nonsense regarding firearms seems for the left to trump all...the safety of America's children be damned. Remember, those who want guns will always find a way to get guns, and more times than not it's the “bad guys” who will secure a firearm before the “good guys” do.

 

Simply stated, in today's America the situation regarding attacks on our schools will only get worse before it gets better most especially if the liberal media continues to stick their nose into the mix. How so...because today's Democrat controlled media does not report the news but manufactures the news to both bolster their leftist condoned political narrative as well as for ratings and bottom line profits. 

 

 

A perfect example of this can be seen in how the media reported the Nashville school shooting. Yes, they spoke about how the surveillance video shows the shooter getting into the school by shooting out a side door by breaking the glass. And yes, they reported on how the shooter meandered throughout the building only to end up on the second floor while firing numerous shots. And they did report on how the shooter was killed within 14 minutes of the first report of a shooting taking place, and they also reported that the shooter was firing at police cars outside the school when officers took said shooter down.

 

Reporting the facts as they happened...all good, at least on the surface that is...for once it was found out that “female” shooter Audrey Hale was a transgender...a “she” pretending to be a “he”...the media in effect froze for they were in a quandary over what was the correct pronoun to use when talking about said shooter, instead of their focusing on the crime at hand. In fact, the radical group “Trans Resistance Net” sent major news outlets letters to “demand,” yes “demand,” that the Nashville shooter be addressed in “proper terminology”...in this case the demanded pronoun “he”...or else trouble would ensue.

But as expected, most of the liberal media complied with their “demands,” after all they are obligated to keep the left's politically motivated pretense going that switching ones gender is both normal and possible, and is not a mental illness at all.

And thanks to the media's adhering to political correctness with all their attention being diverted on pronouns, much needed attention has been diverted away from the fact that six innocent individuals lay dead due to the actions of Audrey Hale, the “woman” shown on video carrying a detailed map of the building and who conducted surveillance before “she” started shooting. And while “she”...I will never acquiesce to the “proper pronoun” nonsense...did not seem to be targeting any one specific individual but actually the school building itself based upon “her” manifesto-style writings, drawings, and recent online research into the school's points of entry, the most important fact must remain that six innocent people lay dead...9-year old students Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, along with School Head Katherine Koonce, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, and custodian Mike Hill...all killed by a seriously mentally ill individual with a supposed grudge.

So did Audrey Hale's “emotional disorder” regarding “her” sexual identity drive “her” to do what “she” did...maybe... maybe not. Could Hale's reported obsession with “her” former middle school girls basketball team members be the sole driving force...maybe...maybe not...for it always must be remembered that sometimes it's madness alone that drives one to commit unspeakable actions. But one thing I surely do know is that when the media picks and chooses what is and is not to be reported on in regards to a murderer's simple identity...when the media cowers in fear of reprisal for reporting that truth...the murderer becomes not only the number one center of attention but sometimes even the victim...with the true victims now sadly being relegated to second place.

What a sad commentary on today's America when pronouns and firearm untruths... especially regarding school shootings...are media forced upon a gullible public. Maybe now one will understand why the Second Amendment remains so important, and also why the implementing of simple solutions to stopping school shootings is something that can no longer be ignored. Focus people focus...focus not solely on who the shooter was and why they did what they did...those are things that sadly cannot be undone...but focus more on the implementation of the aforementioned simple solutions post haste for the next school shooting...and know there will be more...might just well hit home. Case closed.
