Massie blasts Biden's latest gun control order: 'Science fiction' reforms that have failed
FOX ^ | March 15 | By Charles Creitz

President Biden's gun control advocacy led him to a "virtual gun-free zone" still wracked with violent crime, where he announced his latest executive order, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Tuesday.

Biden traveled to Monterey Park, Calif., to stump for the directive, which — in his words — will take "every lawful action possible to move us as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation."

Massie said Biden chose the Golden State to announce such an order because it is where gun control laws have long failed.

"[California has] got a higher-than-average mass public shooting per capita and they've got some of the strictest gun laws," Massie said. "In fact, he went to Los Angeles County. Unless you're White and well-connected, you probably can't get a permit to carry a concealed firearm there. Fewer than 1-in-5,000 have a concealed carry permit in Los Angeles County."

"So he went to a virtual gun-free zone to announce these programs, and one of the things that he said he's going to do… is to somehow achieve what he calls universal background checks."

Massie said the definitions behind Biden's favored jargon would not have prevented any public shooting "in this century," adding that heavily Democratic Maryland and New York previously attempted one of the reforms set forth in the order — to scant results.

"Maybe [Biden] went to Hollywood because two of his policies are based in science fiction," he said. "One of them is this ‘ballistics database’ where you're going to take a fingerprint of a gun using the shell casing or the bullet. New York and Maryland tried this program. They spent tens of millions of dollars and after 15 years, never solved a single crime."

I don’t think the Founding Fathers intended for a demented child molester to be able to trash the Bill of Rights with an “Executive Action”.

Golden Age sf story by Jack Williamson “With Folded Hands” meant for the supposed good and total safety of the humans, the AI robots demanded they sit quietly with folded hands in their laps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Folded_Hands
Note in the decidedly prophetic 1947 story the “good” means taking away all rights even to commit suicide, and rebels are punished.

For us the “good” news is “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Get those nasty shooting things confiscated so only agents——and/or criminals——will hold them.

How did this fool get the criminals to accept and follow his gun laws?
