It must have been that guy "Bob" at the IT help desk:

You know, if you need some I.T. help, I can find a 10 year old to help you...

Here is the NRA's statement to the Walmart decision, not that it means much.... ...."The National Rifle Association (NRA) in a Tuesday statement slammed Walmart's changes to its gun policies as "shameful" after a mass shooting last month in one of its stores. "It is shameful to see Walmart succumb to the pressure of the anti-gun elites. Lines at Walmart will soon be replaced by lines at other retailers who are more supportive of America’s fundamental freedoms," the statement said. "The truth is Walmart’s actions today will not make us any safer. Rather than place the blame on the criminal, Walmart has chosen to victimize law-abiding Americans," the NRA added. "Our leaders must be willing to approach the problems of crime, violence and mental health with sincerity and honesty." https://thehill.com/regulation/lobbying/459779-nra-slams-walmarts-shameful-change-to-gun-policies Also remember this part from Walmart last year: ...." Walmart stopped selling assault-style rifles in 2015 and raised the age to purchase guns from 18 to 21 in 2018. " Walmart rolled over LAST year to the Anti Gunners, bumping up the age to buy rifles, in states where the law was 18. Still believe that the Waltons follow the constitution and won't cave to pressure? Your Rose colored glasses are turning pretty dark, it might be time to take them off.

Walmart Discontinues Auto Part Sales To Prevent Car Accidents BENTONVILLE, AR—In a bold move intended to curb the thousands of deaths from vehicles each and every day, Walmart has decided to stop selling auto parts, sources confirmed Tuesday. According to shocking reports, people have purchased car parts at Walmart and then those cars have been involved in accidents, proving a direct correlation between selling auto parts and causing deaths. "We can no longer be complicit in an industry that kills over 3,000 people a day," said a spokesperson for Walmart. "Every time we sell a muffler, steering wheel cover, or flame decal, we are potentially causing the death of a person, and we cannot support that any longer." "It's clear that bad drivers and poor road conditions don't cause vehicular deaths---cars do." Walmart executives said they are beating themselves with a stick to atone for the deaths they've already caused. "Our consciences will only be clean when we've been mercilessly beaten once for each of the millions of deaths that have been caused by automobiles since Walmart began selling auto parts," said one executive before solemnly beginning to beat himself with a baseball bat. https://babylonbee.com/news/walmart-discontinues-sale-of-auto-parts-to-prevent-car-accidents?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mjk

Yeah, too busy trying to kill people with questionable reloads....

I actually frequent Walmart a lot, as they're close by. I do a lot of my grocery shopping there too. But, I'm a big believer in "principal", and they now acquiescing to the gun grabbers, my shopping in their store will drop to zero. Talk about a MAJOR slap in the face to their core shoppers.

Keep this in mind, remember the OP, 129,000 people signed the petition. There are 320 MILLION people in the country. 129K isn't even a rounding error, at 0.0004 of the population. This is who Walmart rolled over for. Now look at this list (I snagged it elsewhere). If Walmart was REALLY concerned about deaths, why are the still selling: When are they going to stop selling mobile phones since people that use them are more likely to be involved in a fatal automobile accident while texting? When will they stop selling items with sugar or corn syrup since those items are directly related to deaths that occur with diabetes? What about tobacco or vaping products? These are known to cause cancer and other respiratory illnesses or death. How about alcohol sales? Gonna stop those as well due to the number of people killed by DUI?

Does that mean all politicians lose their armed bodyguards too?

Walmart turns into Dick's.... Really, they turned into pu**ys... Apparently not, they rather roll over to being P.C. ....." The biggest retailer in the world also is asking customers at Walmart and Sam’s Club to no longer openly carry firearms in stores, in states where “open carry” is allowed, unless they are authorized law enforcement officers. " Walmart said Tuesday it will discontinue all sales of handgun ammunition and sales of short-barrel rifle ammunition that can be used with military-style weapons, following two “horrific” shootings at Walmart stores this summer." Keep this in mind dudes!!! One of the biggest retailers of ammo and firearms are rolling over for the Liberals, following TWO shootings... You know where you SHOULDN'T shop anymore! If they are so concerned about people dying, they should stop allowing people to drive to the stores, since over 110 people die A DAY in auto accidents, and they should stop selling car parts and accessories.

If Obama had a son...... ...."My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said. https://www.politico.com/blogs/politico44/2012/03/obama-if-i-had-a-son-hed-look-like-trayvon-118439

In reality, do you really think they will go after someone who makes a false claim in THIS state? People lie all the time to fit their agenda.

Anyone hear about it on the MSM?? Didn't think so... Why wasn't it plaster all over the TV and Internet you say??? It wasn't an angry, young white guy with a AR15. Plus, the Liberals can't get any traction out of this shooting with their ranting for "Universal Background Checks", as this kid was 17, and any possession of a weapon is illegal, and he could have NEVER bought it legally.... ...."DeAngelo Parnell, 17, has been charged with nine counts of attempted murder after a shooting in a Mobile, Ala., stadium where a high school football game was being played Friday night. Police say nine people were shot, mostly teenagers, at the Pebbles Ladd Stadium as a game between LeFlore and Williamson high schools was ending. Parnell is reported as being a student at LeFlore High School. https://heavy.com/news/2019/08/deangelo-parnell/

Here's a reminder of what's in this new law, then read my comment on the bottom on what's MISSING from it: Gun bill The legislation known as the Extreme Risk Protective Order Act of 2018 authorizes New Jersey courts to issue gun violence protective orders to individuals who pose a significant risk of personal injury to themselves or others by possessing or owning a firearm. The protective orders prohibit the person who the order is filed against from securing or possessing any permit or license allowing firearm possession during a "protective-order period." Anyone who loses their gun has 45 days to file an appeal once an order is granted. Here's what the bill also does: The bill also makes it a fourth-degree crime for a person to purposely or knowingly violate any provision of an extreme risk protective order. The bill also authorizes courts to issue a warrant authorizing a law enforcement officer to seize a firearm from a person who has been issued a gun violence restraining order. Specifically, the bill authorizes any person, including family members or friends, to submit an application to the court setting forth the facts and circumstances necessitating the issuance of a gun violence restraining order. The court issues the restraining order if it finds, based upon the applicant's sworn and signed affidavit and other information received, that the person poses a significant risk of personal injury to himself or others by possessing a firearm. The bill defines a gun violence restraining order as a court order prohibiting a person from owning, purchasing, possessing or receiving any firearms for a period of up to one year. The court also is authorized to seize a firearm if there is probable cause to believe that a person who has been issued a gun violence restraining order possesses or owns a firearm. The bill also allows the court to hold an appeal hearing within 14 days of the execution of a gun violence restraining order and firearm seizure warrant. If a law enforcement agency has probable cause to believe that a person subject to a gun violence restraining order continues to pose a significant risk of personal injury to himself or others by possessing a firearm, the agency may initiate a request for a renewal of the order. See anything missing???? There's no provision to prosecute a person that makes a FALSE accusation. So, anyone that tries to make a false report (like a pissed off ex-girlfriend), just gets to walk free when the the accusation turns out to be false, while the gun owner's life turns into living Hell. Nice, right? And we all know Anti-2A people would NEVER lie.... right????

There, now more accurate!

This is turning into one nasty storm. Now Cat 5 with 175 mph winds. Grand Bahama island and Abaco will be wiped off the face of the earth. The storm is slowing down and will move very slowly over that island.

We need immediate legislation to ban knives... it's for the children... no one needs a blade longer than 2", there needs to be Red Flag laws if you pick up a knife and threaten to cut your steak, plus all department stores need to run background checks before they sell you what's in the picture below: ......"An Afghan asylum seeker is accused of killing a 19-year-old man and wounding at least nine people in a frenzied knife rampage in France. Witnesses said a man armed with a kitchen knife and barbecue fork randomly attacked people at a bus stop during the bloodbath in Villeurbanne, a suburb of Lyon. Witnesses described a terrifying scene as the knifeman began stabbing victims at random and people ran for their lives." https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-lyon-knife-attack-one-19114957

I think that's a big issue with these extended forecasts. These storms are so far out, anything is possible, but they stoke fear in so many people so early, then when the storm misses them, the next time they might not heed any warnings, kinda like the "Boy who cried wolf". Yes, we all need to be prepared, but if it tracks off the coast, they'll be some people pissed that they made major preparations for nothing. In other news, Task Force One just sent a team of 80 and K9s, and a ton of equipment, to Florida to assist for two weeks.

Wow, now up to a Cat 4, with 140 mph winds.... and it hasn't even gotten into the warmer water nearer the coast...

They make VERY good points: ...."It infringes on a host of rights: weapons are confiscated after a hearing where the respondents are not present, and therefore do not know the evidence against them, nor have the opportunity to confront their accusers; These laws have been mischaracterized as having supporting evidence of reducing suicide and homicide, when in fact there is none that withstands any scrutiny; Such bills do the opposite of what I’ve been trained to do as a forensic psychiatrist: respect fellow citizens by using scientifically rigorous methods of risk assessment. I testified that none of the Red Flag bills being considered provide for treating respondents “with even a modicum of respect, which is to have a risk assessment method that passes some form of rules of evidence. Only a kangaroo court would accept the ‘I know it when I see it’ standard of dangerousness to confiscate weapons.” Little did I know that New Jersey is in fact setting up such “kangaroo courts.” Its Red Flag bill will take effect next month.

I asked my son, maybe we should load up a Uhaul full of generators, and head south, he's always looking to make a few buck on the side. Watching news footage of the stores down there, they've all be picked clean already. I always wondered what people do with all the eggs, bread and milk they stock up with before a storm?

This has ALWAYS been available, we don't need additional NEW laws to make it easier for a pissed off family member to rat another one out. Ever hear the saying "See something, say something"?
