After Getting Rolled by Dems, John Cornyn Expresses Alarm and Outrage Over the Biden Administration's Weaponization of His Gun Control Law - The Truth About Guns

&#9664Previous Post Next Post Coming Soon...▶ After the horrific shooting in Uvalde, Texas last year with the appalling failure of district, local, and state police, the usual outcry went up for more gun control. The far-left gun control industry lives for these moments, seeing them as ideal...

Unfortunately "Cornyn and his gullible, useful idiot GOP confederates who were convinced to compromise and get on board with Democrats" are still better than a liberal alternative. Like the old folks used to tell me when I was growing up, "never trade your mule for a picture of a race horse"! I'm afraid Mr. Cornyn may come to realize the meaning behind that saying.

Just what on earth did he expect? I mean seriously he sold his soul to the devils of the Biden regime. This regime will do everything to bring us inline with Great Britain and Australia.

You ever spent time in those two countries. I can assure you the people of both of those two countries are not saying “You know what, what this country needs is more guns. “

Stick to fixing America. We’ve got enough problems to keep you busy.

I actually know more than a few people in both of those countries who vehemently urge us not to surrender our rights like they did. Of course those kind of people are the type I normally associate with so……

Not really. I as much as admitted the people in those countries I associate are the kind of people who think like I do. I'm not assuming Brits or upside down folks who hate gun control are in the majority. I actually do have a buddy in NSW who is so conservative he makes me look like a liberal and he doesn't care a whit about guns.

The fact is those people have all gotten used to big brother coming around every month and checking their flu because they're living in government controlled housing. They're used to the quasi-socialist governments they've always lived under. Their founding fathers didn't have enough foresight to enshrine in their constitutions the right to defend themselves, with arms, against a possible future, tyrannical government. They simply weren't brought up with the freedom we were.

I get that, but I would offer that they aren’t brought up with the ideology that the States is. The vast majority of the people who live in those countries don’t believe for one second that they don’t enjoy the same freedoms we do. Same with most of the European countries.

I can definitely feel the difference. Every time I've been there, sure I had a good time, saw some really cool stuff. I was uneasy until the plane landed back in the US though. I suspect if they came over here and lived for a few months they would feel the difference too.

Most of that is because you can’t get a decent pizza in Britain and Oz. Even you Yanks can only survive on MCD’s for so long. 😎😜😇

I can tell you the McDs in Europe is terrible. Fries aren't even close. Burgers either. Royale with cheese is nothing like a quarter pounder. In The Netherlands I ate mostly fish ( surprise) and there was an Argentinian steak house we ate at a lot. My one and only attempt at pizza was in a restaurant where dogs and cats roamed freely about the place. When the pizza came, it was nothing like a pizza and it had fish all over it. Sadly you are correct, no decent pizza.

The guy we were hanging with over there had rescued a Uzbek woman somewhere in Germany where she was fleeing with her son, Sefula, from her abusive husband who was high up in the Uzbek military. He told her if she ran again he would find her and kill them both. She got to Germany and was taken by three pimps who were in the process of turning her out when Victor found her, took care of the pimps and brought her to The Netherlands. Upon entry they forced a steel IUD into her and once she overstayed her visa she couldn't really leave the flat anymore. His assigned flat was in Utrecht and he was subletting ( strictly illegal) a place in Amsterdam. So once a month he had to pretend to be some other guy when the authorities came around to inspect the flu of the heatilator. Once Victor ( real name Zafir, who was a Dutch national from Turkey and who spoke 7 different languages, including some obscure dialect of Russian which is how he communicated with the Uzbek woman) went out one night for work ( no idea what "Work" was) and left us alone with the woman. We spent the night and most of the next day pointing at stuff and explaining things and teaching each other how to say them in English= Russian. It was actually pretty cool. Then me and the wife took some totally wet mushrooms we bought at a head shop ( totally legal) and tripped for about 12 hours. Designed some wedding ring tattoos and went to some ladies apartment about an hour outside of Amsterdam and had them tattooed on our ring fingers.


This was just a few days out of the 14 that was our first trip to Europe. We also drove to Koln and Hamburg and Arnhem ( WWII interest). Second trip was almost to the day 5 years later. We can get to that in another episode though.
 
Elvira, that was the Uzbeki woman's name. Probably not her actual name, but what Victor called her. I was going to sponsor her sister to come over to the US a few years later, but sadly we lost contact with them. I think Victor ( Zafir) went back to Turkey. It's a strange thing. This was in October of 2002, so not real long after 9/11. Tickets were surprisingly cheap. I, of course, wore a leather jacket and an American flag "Doo-rag" the whole time because the state department suggested trying not to look like Americans. We met Victor when we went to a bar called Harley Haven in Niuwe Kerk ( Amsterdam) and got so stoned we couldn't find our car. The bar owner didn't speak English and went and got his cousin across the street who worked at a fallafil place, who turned out to be Victor. He very much wanted us to know that not all Muslims wanted to kill Americans. He figured out that our car was towed because we parked it under a wheelchair sign ( never, EVER drive in Amsterdam. Jesus, just take a bike). Victor took it upon himself to be our chaperone the rest of our stay. We moved into his flat for the remainder of the time. So we stayed exactly one night in the hotel by the airport.

On our second trip 5 years later we flew into Schiphol again and stayed in the Ibis by the airport again. We couldn't find Victor, but we did hook up with Stefan, a German guy in Amsterdam I know through a Beatles connection and his French wife who was actually Kenyan. Francie was her name. She was very cool. Gave me a small wooden elephant carved in Kenya by one of her relatives. She was apparently descended from some tribal royalty there. We went to every cool guitar shop in the country. Den Haag was cool. Haarlem was real cool. I discovered that Guinness on tap in Europe is precisely 1000 times better than Guinness on tap in the US. We drove to Paris. Stayed in Ghent, where I discovered the overwhelming joy which is Trappiste ale and hung out with some dude who designed TV show sets.

Alas, I never heard anything of Zafir Omay ( Victor) again, other than a picture I once found on the web of him at some seminar given by some Turkish guy who really, REALLY hates Jews. I suspect that as great as he was to us, we really just don't understand the Muslim religion and/or maybe Victor wasn't as much a nice guy as he was a player of the long game so to speak. Who knows.

You may find this hard to believe, but the pizza in Italy sucks.

Every region is famous for different foods. If you didn't try it it Naples or Rome, it was probably not amazing. But it's definitely still better than anything the midwest could produce. I'll die on that hill before even having tried Italy pizza because i've tried pizza in alot of places across the country (mostly because im a masochist), and my god it's absolutely disgusting.

Also, pizza in Italy is nothing like pizza in America. We made it our own thing for sure. Even family members in the old country tell me we bastardized it.
