The same people who used to say that only the police should have guns, then decided we should
defund the police but also still not have guns, suddenly decided they don't like gun control.
After voting for it.
The only explanation is that it's a Christmas miracle.

Hey there everyone and welcome back to the channel. Liberty Baby turned 1
this month and we had family rotating in and out throughout the month to celebrate with her...and
then I got sick...I'm actually still sick, but I am back in action and hoping
to just get through this video without sounding too gross. So bear with me.
Either way it is good to be back. It seems like I missed a lot of news,
but this one seemed like a fun place to start.
First, let me tell you about today's sponsor, Arms Directory - the first, and so far only,
2A protected social network and marketplace. Arms Directory is building a vast community of firearms
enthusiasts, designers, business owners, and engineers, where you can post photos, talk deals,

Alright folks, I covered Oregon Measure 114 sometime last month? Time and space are sort of melding together. But the short version is,
it's a 12 page long measure that bans 10 round magazines and creates a new licensing scheme,
and was passed with only 50.6% of the vote. Only 7 of the state's 36 counties passed it,
but those counties of course had big cities and now here we are with new control that
gives the local police the decision as to whether or not YOU can exercise YOUR rights.
Measure 114 is currently in limbo land after a judge put a hold on
it and is scheduled for a hearing on the 23rd.
Now, NPR is highlighting LGBTQ activists who think that the police will use the new
law to stop them from buying guns. Because the law doesn't have clear guidelines as to
what disqualifies a person and antigunners these days are going the route of social media checks,
these activists are afraid the cops will deny them a license on the basis that they…went
online and called those same cops t*rrorists.
"I just feel like if I was to go online and say like the police are t*rrorists
or something ... [the police] would be like, 'Well, you seem like you might not be fit for
this community to be armed,' " says a black trans former ffl. "If they were to get that
information that you got snatched up off the street [during the 2020 BLM protests], I would
assume that the law would say they could deny your purchase, or deny your right to have a permit."
I mean yeah, depending on how many windows you broke,
and stores you looted, and random bystanders you assaulted, that could be a problem.
And the reality is, that that logic is used all over the country to deny permits
in states where it is at the police's discretion. Places like Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, California, and Hawaii come to mind. There are plenty
of cities and towns in Massachusetts that are black holes for gun rights and
will do everything in their power to never issue a gun license, BLM protestor or not.
People just don't care about things until it affects them directly.
So, in that case, hello and welcome to the party. We sometimes have cookies.
The former ffl, Mia Rose, says they first got into guns and started encouraging other
LGBTQQIA BIPOC FUBAR 123 LMNOP people to buy guns because orange man bad.
You are so very, very dumb!
Seriously, they give the tired narrative of the Trump presidency basically legalizing
white supremacy but, at the end of the day, get the big point right - that the
police won't be there to protect you if something bad happens. And its all
more than a little ironic because it was because of people like Rose and the BLM
crowd that made so many other people realize the same thing. It's the full circle of life.
Rose and another activist in the piece, Ross Eliot,
say that it wasn't until Uvalde and Club Q that they really realized the need for self protection.
But of course, because they're leftists, they're not Second Amendment absolutists.
Rose and Eliot worry that 114 will not only do nothing to stop the terrorism
of 3D printed guns and right wing groups, but will also "disproportionately inhibit outspoken
marginalized groups from purchasing guns…." And that "Police could easily restrict permits
to preferred individuals and deny others… from particular racial or ethnic groups,
religious backgrounds, LGBTQ status or political affiliations" because, they say,
the police are right wing extremists that belong to Patriot Prayer and the Oath Keepers.
Groups which, theoretically, are supposed to be second amendment absolutists.
Also, they don't want the police to dole out gun rights based on political affiliation,
but are okay with all other rights being based on political affiliation.
Hmm.
I mean, they have a point in that gun control has historically been
a way to keep guns out of the hands of black people and poor people and other
undesirables as a means of control so, yes, gun control bad, and they're better late to
the party than never showing up…but their logic is still a bit of a head scratcher.
Do I think there will be corruption in how the law is enforced? Absolutely. It had a lot of
law enforcement support and whenever law enforcement supports gun control,
that right there tells you they don't believe in your basic rights.
Whether you want to admit it or not, those cops are not your friends.
The group that helped draft the law, Lift Every Voice Oregon, says there won't be room
for police bias because…the police are the ones that will craft the exact regulations.
[Crickets]
They also say that the annual reports of how many licenses the police issued is meant to work as
an oversight mechanism, not as a creepy way for antigunners to keep track of how many guns they
think are in an area. [laughter]
I guess in the end, the more people supporting gun rights the better, and the piece does highlight
some pretty cool operator gear in Rose's arsenal…I just wish it wasn't covered in antifa patches.
