Did You Know? Trump Signed the Help Crazy People Buy Guns Law. If a Person is Getting a Social Security Disability Check Due to INSANITY... That Fact Can Now Be Kept SECRET on a Gun Purchase Background Check...

Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to get guns when he rolled back Obama regulation...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/president-trump-made-it-easier-mentally-ill-get-guns-when-n1039301

 

President Donald Trump responded to the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings by insisting Monday that “mental illness pulls the trigger not the gun,” but shortly after taking office he quietly rolled back an Obama-era regulation that would have made it harder for people with mental illness to buy guns.

Trump did so without any fanfare. In fact, the news that Trump had signed the bill was at the bottom of a White House email that alerted the media to other legislation signed by the president.

And it came after the House and Senate, both of which were Republican-controlled at the time, passed a bill, H.J. Res 40, which revoked the Obama-era regulation.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/40 

This joint resolution nullifies the “Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007” rule finalized by the Social Security Administration on December 19, 2016. The rule implements a plan to provide to the National Instant Criminal History Background Check System the name of an individual who meets certain criteria, including that benefit payments are made through a representative payee because the individual is determined to be mentally incapable of managing them. (Current law prohibits firearm sale or transfer to and purchase or possession by a person who has been adjudicated as a mental defective.)

The Human Be-In, also remembered as the “Pow Wow” & The Gathering of the Tribes, was held in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco 57 years ago on this day back in 1967, in which the world was invited to join in spiritual togetherness. It is generally considered to be one of the most important events in the hippie/counter culture movement. A prelude to the San Francisco Summer of Love, the gathering promoted key ideas of the counterculture ... personal empowerment, cultural and political decentralization, communal living, ecological awareness, and higher consciousness. Music, dance, and spoken word conveyed these messages. It featured “All S. F. Rock Groups,” including the Grateful Dead, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Country Joe & The Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and a host of others including LSD guru Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Dick Gregory, Lenore Kandel, and Jerry Ruben. Timothy Leary, set the tone for the Human Be-In with his famous phrase "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out." Several different posters and handbills were made for the event. This one was designed by Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, and Michael Bowen. I am fortunate enough to have the original plates to the poster & handbill here in my archives!
Also seen here is the Original Artwork to the poster…just WoW!


This was another incredible event that helped usher in my involvement in the Hippie movement as a kid of just 16 years. It was a beautiful day in SF. LSD was provided en mass by the legendary chemist Owsley “Bear” Stanley, who was also the sound operator for the Grateful Dead and is the namesake behind the famous Grateful Dead dancing bears. The Diggers provided free food to the crowds, which were estimated in excess of 30,000. It was a day I will NEVER forget! This gathering changed a lot of lives.....

Hofmann Collection
The Albert Hofmann Collection is a collection of around 4,000 scientific articles related primarily to LSD, but also psilocybin, BOL (an obscure relative of LSD), and a handful of other psychoactive chemicals. These articles were nearly all cut from original journals and then bound with tape into 93 cloth bound binders. It covers almost all of the world's scientific literature about psychedelics through the early 1980s.
While Albert Hofmann was working at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, where he first synthesized LSD, he and his staff collected any journal articles, news stories, and mentions of LSD that they could find, cutting them from journals or copying them, taping them into binders, and organizing them into a sequential physical library.
In 2001-2002, with Albert Hofmann's knowledge and permission, Erowid accepted the boxes of Hofmann's binders' from the Albert Hofmann Foundation. We carefully disassembled the binders and scanned the documents. The digital documents were entered into a database while the physical collection was returned to Switzerland. The result is this digital archive, The Albert Hofmann Collection, available to the public through Erowid.
Will post link to collection in comments
#PsychedelicSynchronicity

Remembering ALBERT HOFMANN (RIP) on his belated birthday! The Swiss scientist known best for being the first person to synthesize, ingest, and learn of the psychedelic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Hofmann was also the first person to isolate, synthesize, and name the principal psychedelic mushroom compounds psilocybin and psilocin. He authored more than 100 scientific articles and numerous books, including LSD: My Problem Child.
“It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation. I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.” - Albert Hofmann, Speech on his 100th birthday

I am not exactly an Atheist but i have no respect for those who believe in Gods from Holy Books. The words describing any of these "Gods" basically describe them as super powerful human beings and therefore justify humanity being reckless and insane because that essentially is the only way that "Gods" are described. We are made in God's image and the only way to justify our tendencies towards cruelty and pure evil is by saying we are emulating and therefore honoring some inhumane supreme being. No one can describe or truly picture an all knowing and all powerful being so we instead make it out to be a being just like we are other than it is omniscient and super powered. It must be worshipped in order that we tolerate various degrees of indifference towards the welfare of humanity within ourselves and consider hatred and selfishness as holy and therefore desirable in ourselves.

and I said: 

reading about someone having a "Religious Experience" is so freaking LAME... Eat Psychedelics and have a religious experience yourself! Especially PEYOTE... It's Very similar to Moses and the Burning Bush...

WHAT A REMARKABLE STORY: The last time AJ Martinez was in school was May 24, when he was shot through the thigh as he hid under backpacks while a gunman murdered his two teachers and 19 fellow students at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.
He saw the shooter come to his classroom and heard him tell his teacher, “Goodnight,” before he unleashed a torrent of shots from his assault-style rifle. AJ also heard law enforcement officers outside in the hallways during the 77 minutes that it took from the time the gunman entered the small-town school to when he was ultimately confronted and killed.
AJ left school that day with someone else’s blood on his face, likely from lying on the floor with the dead and the injured. Since then, he’s been sad, he’s been angry and he’s been fearful. And he’s done a lot of physical therapy.
But when the new school year began Tuesday, AJ, now 10, walked up with a broad smile on his face.
“I slept good,” he told CNN, wearing a maroon T-shirt with pictures of his slain teachers, Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia, and the 19 lost children with the words, “My teachers and classmates forever.”
AJ’s resilience is inspiring and show us how children can overcome anything to teach us a lesson.

The crazies keep getting worse.
— MAGA Mike Johnson says there’s no need for gun laws cuz we still use cars... Yesterday I wrote about how virtually every Republican policy position, from climate change to education to healthcare and guns, is driven by either the hope for campaign funds from billionaires and industries or the fear that those funds will be used against them in a primary.
MAGA Mike, however, was holding true to the NRA talking points. All we need is prayer: there’s no need to do anything about guns, because cars still kill people. Seriously.
just ignore all those dead children: after all, cars kill, too.

WE MUST FIGHT BACK TO SAVE AMERICA
The Republican Party no longer exists. It morphed into the brainwashed MAGA cult that is hellbent on destroying America. TO SUPPORT REPUBLICANS MAKES ONE A TRAITOR. It’s really that simple. VOTE BLUE to save the Constitution. VOTE BLUE to preserve our rights. VOTE BLUE to save the environment. VOTE BLUE to end the insane republican gun policies that kill kids at school. VOTE BLUE to curtail the assault on our public education system. Republicans have always wanted a mediocre education system. Dumbing down the masses makes it so much easier to brainwash them.
VOTE BLUE BECAUSE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!!

Screaming Neo Nazi Died of Self Inflicted Gunshot Wound - THANK YOU! - Teddy Joseph Von Nukem was Arrested for Smuggling Fentanyl at US Mexico Border! So he Killed Himself Instead of Going to Prison! EXCELLENT!

Teddy Joseph Von Nukem (born Ted Landrum, November 23, 1987 – January 30, 2023) was an American white nationalist and far-right extremist, noted for his role at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
He admitted attempted drug smuggling after being arrested at the Mexico–United States border in March 2021. He failed to show up for a January 30, 2023 Arizona court appearance, and died from a self-inflicted gunshot injury the same day.

Police Kill Gun Nut. Aren't We All Better Off With This Madman Dead? He Murdered a Lady because She Flew a Rainbow Flag Outside her Store...

outside shop, officials say...

When deputies arrived, they found 66-year-old Laura Ann
Carleton with a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead on
the scene.
According to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, the suspect,
Travis Ikeguchi, "made several disparaging remarks about a
rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton."

Deputies found the suspect armed with a handgun.

"When deputies attempted to contact the suspect, a lethal force
encounter occurred and the suspect was pronounced deceased,"
read an update from the sheriff's department. No deputies were
injured.




ATTENTION WALMART SNOBS!
So I'm at Walmart and the only check out line is backed up and I overheard an associate say, “Oh, they are just too lazy to check themselves out! “
When I turned to look at the line I was furious. Everyone in that line was well over 70 years old.
You listen here Mr. 20 something year old Walmart Associate. These folks are the back bone of this country. These folks are not lazy. They were not born into a computer generation. While you were playing video games and learning to navigate a computer they were working in the cotton fields, in cotton mills, plowing fields and harvesting crops.
These "Lazy people" can still work circles around you and they have a work ethic and drive that you probably know nothing about. Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable using a self checkout does not make them lazy.
And before I forget it... those lazy people pay your salary. Instead of you and others walking around being judgemental someone could have offered to help them on the self check out.
If you ever have to get your vegetables from the ground instead of the produce department guess who you are going to need help from... those lazy people!
Be careful of the toes you step on today... they might be attached to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow!

SCOTUS Goes Gun Crazy - Legalizes Removing Serial Numbers from Guns - Helping Criminals Escape the Police - "Justice" Thomas Quotes 1791 Law...

Of Course, SLAVERY was legal in 1791 but "Justice" Thomas has no opinion about that! 

Judge rules federal law banning guns with serial numbers removed is unconstitutional... 

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3687788-judge-rules-federal-law-banning-guns-with-serial-numbers-removed-is-unconstitutional/

A federal judge blocked a federal law on Wednesday that prohibits the possession of a firearm with an “altered, obliterated or removed” serial number in light of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling expanding gun rights earlier this year. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the majority opinion that the regulations on firearms should be “consistent” with historical patterns of regulating firearms.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/10/supreme-court-ghost-guns-serial-number-clarence-thomas.html

Following Supreme Court’s Lead, Judge Finds Right to Remove Serial Numbers From Guns... For decades, federal law has forbidden gun owners from scratching out the serial numbers that manufacturers are legally required to place on firearms. The reason is obvious: These serial numbers help state and federal law enforcement trace guns that are used in crimes and identify suspected shooters. Indeed, the only apparent reason anyone would remove a serial number is to avoid becoming a suspect after their gun is used illegally. On Wednesday, however, a federal judge ruled that the law prohibiting alteration of serial numbers violates the Second Amendment. Why? Because serial numbers were virtually nonexistent when the amendment was ratified in 1791, so the government has no power to mandate them today.
