And so it begins; the pushing of "reasonable" gun control. Reading through those bills, I don't find any of that reasonable. Thankfully democrats did not make any gains in the pro-2nd Amendment Texas legislature. Even worse, for them, the 2021 legislative session will feature redistricting, which will not happen again until 2031.
Maybe we can finally get rid of Queen Sheila.
And so it begins

The demcoms pushed this same suite of bills in WA for years, going nowhere- till the demographics flipped-the worst of them were passed under our initiative process, going straight to public vote, bypassing the legislature. All the WA billionaires provided the funding, the opposition was collecting tens and 20's. And the demcoms have complete control now that they were able to ballot stuff their way into power a few years ago and install vote by mail.
I hate the idea of partisan redistricting, but faced with this type of behaviour... time to get dirty.
The argument that you shouldn’t resist home invasion with lethal force because the penalty for theft is not death’ is a remarkable mental failure. It conflates what the state might do from a position of safety with what a homeowner might do in a moment of extraordinary peril. What a fool.
Who was it that said,
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits."
The equivocation of "home invasion" with "theft" ignores --at least -- rape. While I consider it a problematic use of rhetorical argumentation, I'd nevertheless argue that an adult female is allowed to shoot and kill any adult-sized male who breaks into her safe space.
I would demand that leftists go on record to explicitly declare that rape, like theft, really isn't so bad...
From the linked-to piece: Meza believes homeowners are too quick to pull the trigger during a home invasion
This goes back to the Left's insistence that the State usurp responsibility from the individual and carry out that duty in the individual's name. Because it couldn't possibly be that the home invader was too quick to invade. There's no individual responsibility in play at all, by any of the participants, only the State's. "Invasion" tells much of the tale: home invaders are intrinsically violent, and their violent act wants a prompt response, not a "pretty please, let's wait for the cops." That response to violent attack must itself be much greater violence, or it's doomed fail, with catastrophic consequences for the victim(s).
Meza says a homeowner would still be able to defend their life, but using a gun would be illegal....
Defend how? And why not also be able to defend the core of the Adamsian unalienable right to security and happiness--property? Use fists? A knife (what knife--even a carving knife is useless in a serious struggle)? Closing to that range brings the defender into the grip--and likely the knife--of the invader. That's stupid, even for someone who knows how to engage in hand-to-hand.
The home burglar, on the other hand, often is not violent and the homeowner, catching him in the act, might--might--have time to assess and not squeeze the trigger. Or he might still need to shoot.
I really need to know where Meza's nurse is; she's escaped medical supervision.
I'm of two minds on campus carry. Drugs, alcohol, children, and guns don't mix well. There are ways to deal with that, but each way creates a number of corner cases to be exploited by fee-seekers and by carriers looking to quibble for quibble's sake over those corners.

In fact, I am of the opinion that a shooting resulting in a dead hone invader is the ideal outcome. I’d much rather have that than an arrest, conviction, and decades of having to feed and house and guard him.
If they have to sell you the idea that it is reasonable, it probably isn't reasonable. See also, legislative use of the words justice, freedom, fairness, etc. Sort of like "Honest John's Used Cars."
An intruder in an inhabited house may be after nothing but property, but I don't expect anyone to take that chance. Even if we're right that he'd prefer to take nothing but property, what will he do to protect himself from identification and arrest if you catch him in the act? And why is guessing that answer correctly in a split second the armed homeowner's job? A burglar caught in the act should consider himself incredibly lucky to survive.
Demoncrats in power need criimnals. They pay for crime. They use crime. They are mafia crime lords. Hunter, Hiden? HRC?
Know the distinction, because it is important in the war.
You know how crime exists? Because the slaves and tax payers under Demoncrats, don't kill their slave lords, that's how. In inner cities, the victims are disarmed. They can't fire back at their lords and crooks.
