Dric902 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior, The Washington Post reported Thursday. The proposal is part of an initiative to create a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), which would be located inside the Health and Human Services Department, the report notes, citing sources inside the administration. The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director. Now, the proposal doesn’t mention guns or gun ownership in particular. However, as The Daily Caller points out in this same article: Trump said mentally ill people are responsible for the uptick in mass shootings. “I do want people to remember the words ‘mental illness.’ These people are mentally ill. … I think we have to start building institutions again because, you know, if you look at the ’60s and ’70s, so many of these institutions were closed,” he said on Aug. 15. The president has also floated the possibility of supporting background checks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Why stop with Big Tech (Brother) looking over your shoulder, analyzing every thought, judging every motive? Let's just teach the children to watch their parents carefully and report any counter-revolutionary act.

I don't trust my own government. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) As I have mentioned many times, when give the government the power to license an inalienable right, it ceases to be inalienable and thus becomes just another privilege granted at the whim and benefit of the professional liars. No longer by the people, for the people, but by the politicians, for their donors. 6 of janice and many of you will recall a time when you could buy 1903 Springfields, 1917 Enfields, 1911 pistols, heck, even 20mm anti-tank rifles through the postal service and the mailman delivered it to your door. Need some .30-'06 ammunition? Get 1,000 rounds, still in their World War II wrappings delivered to your door. As lads, we used to go bird and squirrel hunting after school. Yeah, we brought our firearms to school. The teacher stacked them in the coat closet until after school and even a ten-year-old could purchase a box of .22 LR at the local Western Auto. Now, how many mass shootings in churches, synagogues and schools were there? Edited August 28, 2019 by tous 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how many mass shootings in churches, synagogues and schools were there? It may be that crisis like mass shootings are necessary for taking political control over citizens. I don't mean planned or intentionally instigating shootings, but that the social anxiety instilled in people that are uncertain about their place and significance in society and by creating emotional chaos through enflaming those who are malleable, those seeking authority and control set the stage for these events to almost predictably occur. Remember, these events cause crisis and uncertainty, and let no crisis go to waste is the watchword of the most heinous of people. The only thing worse than these horrific deadly events occurring, is the willingness of those lacking a soul to use them for their personal and political advantage. These people seeking control through violent deaths of others, are the worst threats to society, even worse than the murderers themselves. Many of these abhorrent individuals are politicians. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The Lone Ranger No Longer Rides – in California. The Lone Ranger was arrested in Lone Pine, California for the crime of illegally transferring silver bullets. The famed masked man had just apprehended an armed felon after shooting the gun out of his hand. As was his practice for the last eighty years, he gave a silver bullet to the outlaw’s victim. She was a kindly old widow who was robbed and held captive by the desperado. This lady, grateful that her life and property were restored, treasured the silver bullet as a symbol that justice was done. The trouble started when she showed the bullet to her weekly garden club. Upon seeing the gleaming memento, one lady fainted. Another lady gasped that they were all going to die. A third lady, who was also a member of CHA (California Hysterics Anonymous), warned that where there was a bullet, there had to be a gun. During the shocked silence an attendee desperately summoned the Sheriff on her cell phone. When the Sheriff heard their story he struggled to stifle a laugh. He knew the old gentleman on the big white horse. He also appreciated how many criminals the Lone Ranger had captured over the years. However, since California voters passed Proposition 63, he had to uphold the law. Predictably, he found the masked man enjoying a beer at the Dry Gulch Saloon back in town. “Thanks for helping old widow Smith,” he said, “but did you really give her a silver bullet?” “Yes,” replied the Lone Ranger, “after all that’s my trademark. Got a problem with that?” “Well, yes,” hesitated the sheriff. “Ya see – under Proposition 63, you’ve got to be a licensed firearms dealer to give anyone a bullet.” “Are you kidding?” asked the Lone Ranger. “Wish I was,” said the embarrassed sheriff, “and to boot whoever receives the bullet has to be registered with the Department of Justice.” “Holy guacamole!” exclaimed the masked man. “Did I do anything else wrong?” “Well,” said the sheriff, looking even more sheepish now, “there’s the little matter of you shooting a gun out of the outlaw’s hand.” “What!” said the Lone Ranger. “If I hadn’t done that, the skunk would have plugged me for sure.” “I know that,” admitted the Sheriff, “but he’ll probably sue you for failing to retreat and using unnecessary force. If they convict you, they’ll take your six-shooters away for good. Which reminds me, according to California law, your pistols have too large a capacity. If I were you, I’d convert those six-shooters into five-shooters as quick as you can.” “Jumpin’ Junipers!” exclaimed the Lone Ranger. “I’d better tell this to my faithful Indian companion, Tonto.” “Hold on,” said the Sheriff. “I need to remind you that Indians are now referred to as Native Americans. We privileged male palefaces have got to remember that.” As the Lone Ranger sat in shocked silence, the sheriff explained his rights and proceeded to take him in. Postscript: Upon being provided an attorney at state expense, the outlaw successfully sued the Lone Ranger. He claimed that he could no longer work since he had suffered the permanent loss of his trigger finger. Governor Gavin Newsom urged imposing the maximum sentence for possession of illegal ammunition and a firearm that exceeds lawful capacity. He received a huge monetary award, forcing the Lone Ranger to sell the silver mine. Tonto was deemed innocent, but victimized by virtue of being a member of an oppressed minority. He was given land by the state and now operates a very profitable casino. After getting out of jail, the Lone Ranger could not find a job since he was now an ex-con. Fortunately, Tonto lets him do light janitorial work at the casino and sleep in the basement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The doorbell-camera company Ring has quietly forged video-sharing partnerships with more than 400 police forces across the United States, granting them access to homeowners' camera footage and a powerful role in what the company calls the nation's "new neighborhood watch." The partnerships let police automatically request the video recorded by homeowners' cameras within a specific time and area, helping officers see footage from the company's millions of Internet-connected cameras . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
