The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has filed a motion for summary judgment in its case pending before a U.S. District Court in Texas challenging the Post Office gun ban.
The lawsuit FPC v. Garland challenges federal gun control laws prohibiting firearm possession, storage and carry at United States Post Offices and related properties, including post office parking lots. The plaintiffs are two law-abiding citizens licensed to carry in Texas and two non-profit membership associations—FPC and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF).
Brandon Combs, FPC president, said the lawsuit is one in a long line of challenges designed to restore Second Amendment rights.
“Your right to carry weapons for armed self-defense does not end at the Post Office,” Combs said in a release announcing the action. “We look forward to eliminating this immoral ban and further restoring the People’s right and ability to protect themselves in public.”
In its motion for summary judgment, plaintiffs argue that the post office gun ban fails both of the standards set by the Supreme Court in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
“The Carry Ban, to the extent it bars the possession and carriage of firearms in post offices and on postal property, infringes their Second Amendment rights and must be declared unconstitutional and enjoined,” the motion argues. “Bruen reaffirms that any Second Amendment regulation is constitutional only if the government ‘demonstrate[s] that [it] is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.’ But there is no historical tradition supporting the ban on lawful firearm carriage in post offices and on postal property.”
Because of that, the brief further argues that the government cannot meet its burden of proving a historical precedent.
“The postal system dates to the Founding, but there is no tradition of banning firearms in Post Offices,” the brief states. “On the contrary, there is a historical tradition of protecting the mail through materially different means.”
In the end, the motion argues that enforcement of the ban should be stopped immediately.
“For all these reasons, this Court should grant Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and permanently enjoin enforcement of the Carry Ban to the extent it bars the possession and carrying of firearms in U.S. Post Offices and on Postal Service postal property,” the brief concludes.
Federal gun law bans carrying firearms on much of its property, even in bathrooms and visitor centers on national lands, where a firearm might otherwise be permitted. Post offices, their parking lots—even the grounds around them—have all been designated gun-free zones where being caught in possession of a firearm, even locked in your vehicle as you walked inside, could result in fines and imprisonment.
In a similar case earlier this year, a federal judge in Florida ruled that the federal law banning people from possessing guns in post offices or while on post office property is unconstitutional, citing the landmark Bruen case in which the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Second Amendment right to bear arms as an individual right and removed a host of obstacles many states had constructed to infringe upon those rights.
It takes democRats in high places to shove their Gun Control rot down the throat of America. Anyone who sits on their behind and does not vote to eradicate the Rats plays a part in Gun Control.

I’ve been enjoying watching The Rifleman from its pilot episode, and am now midway thru Season 2. It’s interesting to see how the show treats their characters’ ability to carry their guns anywhere in town as a right the TV viewing audience at the time (1958-1963) regarded as something unquestioned. This was only a few years before the ’68 GCA and the drastic assault by Guv on that right. I’ve always wondered why there wasn’t more backlash by the American public.
Even then Hollyweird was big on checking guns at the city limit.
What changed in American society was the Texas University shooting, the murders of JFK, RFK, and Dr ML King. The gun-grabbers of that day (Sen. Thomas J Dodd sr foremost) rode a tide of public revulsion and anger to change public opinion and pass arguably unConstitutional laws.
Sooo…where’s my comment I posted this morning? Checking back now in the afternoon and finding it gone.
Again.
This is nuts, Dan. TTAG crapped out with this moderation thing. Now your new site is doing the same thing, but actually *worse*.
Been following your site(s) for roughly a decade now, but this is absurd and doesn’t encourage loyalty. I’m finally out. Not worth the time to wordcraft comments and opinions when much of it is time wasted.
To everyone with whom I’ve shared the ride over the years, it’s been fun and I’ve enjoyed our many conversations and back-and-forths. I wish you all the best.
Posted on the wrong site?
Actually, you’re right. I was on both TTAG and SNW yesterday, and Dan’s new site is way worse now than this one ever has been. I inadvertently posted this “frustration” comment here, then re-posted it over there. And guess what?…not only did it *not* show there, but my previous comment was removed, perhaps as an attempt by Dan to prevent other readers from seeing the increasing frustration over his choice of heavy mod filtering.
I’m done with SNW, and *mostly* done with commenting on TTAG. I’ve never understood how other comments here (loaded with foul language and/or derogatory remarks against other commenters) get a pass, but my own vanilla ones are blocked. It’s just stupid.
Yup. Even that one I just wrote this morning was modded and held, not immediately appearing. My name must be on TTAG’s list as well.
Oh well. Maybe this site is in my rear view mirror as well. It was a fun 10-yr run with some good moments, but those were long ago.
I’ve mostly figured out how to work around it. But, yeah, it’s a pain. I don’t see any of the forbidden words and phrases in your above comment. Sometimes when I leave a comment open to long, it disappears when I try to post it. The system might flag me as a spammer after that, not allowing me to post anything. I’m usually commenting while working, so it might take me 20 minutes to finish a comment while doing other things. At that point, you might have to clear your system and/or change your IP to post.
Same here Dude. If I take too long to complete and post a comment, it never shows up. Even then, the ones that do show up always take a minute or three now.
“Anyone who sits on their behind and does not vote“
Don’t worry, I’m sure Trump’s NYC rally motivated many Puerto Ricans to vote…
“There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
minor49iq…Just think, if not for that joke PR would be the farthest thing from your mind…When it comes to firearm rights PR is a floating pile of demoCrap.
Trump campaign senior advisor Daniella Alvarez said in a statement to Forbes following the rally the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
As far as I am concerned with biden/harris at the helm America is a shithole…Will that stop Americans from voting TRUMP/VANCE 2024? No and Hell No.
“Trump campaign senior advisor Daniella Alvarez said in a statement to Forbes following the rally the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
Weird, there’s always someone coming along to explain Donald Trump’s actions, now it’s his decision to hire a racist comedian that they are all backpedaling from.
“Trump campaign senior advisor Daniella Alvarez said… “
So why isn’t Trump himself coming forward to apologize for the clearly racist insults?
It was his campaign event, it’s his presidential campaign, where is that whole ‘personal responsibility’ thing you MAGA Republicans go on about?
Why isn’t Biden and Kamala coming forward to apologize for the deaths they facilitated and the economy? I mean, its the Biden-Harris administration and the Harris campaign, so where is that whole ‘personal responsibility’ for them?
I’ll take a few errant words from Trump or a comedian any day, … compared to the demonstrated, documented, actual very real clear and present and continuing danger posed by Biden and Harris and Walz to lives and property and American citizens and the Constitution.
The steal begins… Harris Secures Court Order To ADD Non-Citizens To Voter Rolls.
h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRN9ZKrRJro
“Harris Secures Court Order To ADD Non-Citizens To Voter Rolls“
Amazing bit of misinformation, you guys are really grasping at straws here.
The tell-tale is your post doesn’t list the federal judge, or the suit that’s involved and you don’t have any of the specific details of the ruling.
No one is ‘adding’ any voters to the rolls, what happened is the governor of Virginia issued an executive order that violated federal law by instituting a purge of voting rolls within 90 days before the election.
And it wasn’t Kamala Harris who filed the suit:
“Among the plaintiffs in the case were the Virginia Coalition of Immigrant Rights, the League of Women Voters of Virginia and African Communities Together.“
Of course, you failed to mention that all the standard safeguards against ineligible voters are still in place, as the judge noted in her decision:
“She said her order doesn’t prevent Virginia from cancelling noncitizens’ voter registrations after an individual review or prevent the state from investigating noncitizens who register to vote or who do vote.“
This was just another unlawful election interference attempt by Republican politicians, an intentional violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).
40oz, this is how most of your posts go, anywhere from blatant outright lies to slick misinformation that omits the actual facts of the situation.
If it wasn’t for disinformation, MAGA Republicans would have no information at all.
Just not removing them or invalidating illegal votes. Telltale lies by omission and/or misdirection. Come on man you could at least try.
“Just not removing them or invalidating illegal votes“
Incorrect, elections authorities still have full power to remove them from the rolls or invalidate individual votes if they are found improper:
“She said her order doesn’t prevent Virginia from cancelling noncitizens’ voter registrations after an individual review or prevent the state from investigating noncitizens who register to vote or who do vote.“
“The tell-tale is your post doesn’t list the federal judge, or the suit that’s involved and you don’t have any of the specific details of the ruling.”
Someone needs to spoon feed you? Its all over the internet, be an adult and learn what research is.
You apparently don’t understand whats happening.
Let’s be clear about what just happened, a federal judge ordered Virginia to reinstate over 1,500 individuals– WHO HAD ALREADY SELF-IDENTIFIED THEM SELVES AS noncitizens back onto the voter rolls. An “individual review” had already been conducted to remove those and they were removed but the judge ignored that, and an investigation for if they do vote can’t happen until AFTER they have voted which means their votes would have been counted.
“An “individual review” had already been conducted to remove those“
You can make that claim and many others, but until you provide an actual citation or source document it’s just more of your empty speech.
“No one is ‘adding’ any voters to the rolls, what happened is the governor of Virginia issued an executive order that violated federal law by instituting a purge of voting rolls within 90 days before the election.
“Dumbass, that is a State law, not a Federal one. But hey, a Commie has to Commie.
“Dumbass, that is a State law, not a Federal one“
Well potty-mouth, it seems your penchant for foul language is exceeded only by your ignorance:
“The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), also known as the Motor Voter Act, is a United States federal law signed into law by President Bill Clinton on May 20, 1993, that came into effect on January 1, 1995“
So who’s the “dumbass” now?
I see why Donald Trump “loves the poorly educated”, they are so easy to fool.
“Its all over the internet“
Well alrighty then, there’s an impeccable source!
Unfortunately, I prefer to examine the actual court documents before I form my opinion of the situation.
The United States was far better off when the right to vote was limited to White Men who owned Land and owned Guns and owned Slaves.
“The United States was far better off when the right to vote was limited to White Men who owned Land and owned Guns and owned Slaves.“
Bravo, there’s at least one honest MAGA Republican Trump supporter on the forum.
Of course, liberals understand exactly what you folks want, we understand exactly why those statues honoring the confederacy are so important to you.
Come on, ‘fess up, why can’t the rest of you be as honest as old Elmer?
Most people don’t believe that, and you know it.
Oh yeah, I’m sure it was ‘sarcasm’.
Respectfully, i’m calling bullshit.
This is only one in a long line of posts on TTAG advocating that women should lose the right to vote, or citizenship should not be a birthright for those born in the US or that Black people should be owned this property.
What do you think flying the confederate flag is all about, it’s about states rights… to own slaves.
Why do you think MAGA identifies so closely with those confederate statues honoring American citizens who violated their oath to uphold the Constitution and attacked their fellow Americans serving their country?
People on this very forum use that confederate flag of the traitors who attacked America as their avatar.
Do you see any liberals on their forums using the imperial Japanese rising Sun or the German flag as their avatar?
That’s exactly my point, there’s no one on the liberal forum suggesting that men should lose the vote or that we should re-institute biblical chattel slavery.
Here’s a comment a friend of mine did post on a liberal forum, you’ll notice no personal insults or cracks about gender… Just an on point historical literary reference:
“Yesterday, a hate rally in red, white and blue – today, a sit down with Christian “faith leaders”. What’s that about “wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” ? Oh yes, when fascism comes to America.“
“What do you think flying the confederate flag is all about, it’s about states rights… to own slaves.”
No, its not “all about, it’s about states rights… to own slaves.”
Its also used as a historical point of individualism and a time before government decided it could tell states what to do. Its mostly displayed today as a means of ‘protest’ against government unconstitutional intervention in personal and states rights.
Now granted, some people might think different and display it for other reasons. Just like the AOC cheered Hamas lovers displayed their flag to represent their desire for violence and to kill Americans.
“Do you see any liberals on their forums using the imperial Japanese rising Sun or the German flag as their avatar?”
Nah, they just tend to use the flags Hamas uses.
“That’s exactly my point, there’s no one on the liberal forum suggesting that men should lose the vote or that we should re-institute biblical chattel slavery.”
You obviously can’t read. No one – really? Liberal woman are all over the internet saying men should be, basically, relegated to being ‘owned slaves’, should not have a vote. There are liberal Trans advocating for the extermination of biological females.
“Just an on point historical literary reference:
“Yesterday, a hate rally in red, white and blue – today, a sit down with Christian “faith leaders”. What’s that about ‘wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross’ ? Oh yes, when fascism comes to America.“
Huh? a “historical literary reference” and what point? You didn’t give any ‘point’. All you did was spew out a lot of words without context, state things that were not true, and then try to wrap it up with someone calling something a ‘hate rally’ and calling the display of the American flag and a religion preference ‘fascism’.
Just more blah blah blah non-sense from you.
Boy…someone can’t understand sarcasm can they. Remember when “going postal” was referring to the actions of the postal employees themselves.
Customers need protecting from the postal employees. Who knows when they’ll just flip out.
“Customers need protecting from the postal employees. Who knows when they’ll just flip out”
You are perpetuating a myth that is a slander on veterans.
The claim was, that because the USPS had a veterans hiring preference, a higher proportion of veteran w/PTSD employees going off and killing.
There was no statistical correlation but far too many people are willing to casually slander those who’ve endured hardship and struggle on the battlefield for America.
🍎 2 🍊🥔🧠
You proved his point Miner49er, you can’t understand sarcasm.
MajorLiar,
Yeah, it’s horrible when politicians disrespect our veterans, innit??? Like Senile Joe ordering the VA and BATF to crack down on those “dangerious”,, PTSD-prone vets and their nasty guns, amirite???
MajorLiar, you’re such a contemptible @$$clown of a lying liar, you give lying liars a bad rep.
The Confederates were demtards.
@Miner
What forum(s)? Geoff posted a forum link full of left wingers a long time ago, but I forgot the name. I used to frequent Gawker because I read Jalopnik until it became intolerable. Since Gawker owned a bunch of other sites, they were a click away. The comments were pretty vile on Gawker and Jezebel blogs. This was pre-Trump era. Things seem to have gotten worse since then.
Took a quick glance at those sites. It looks like the traffic is way down compared to what it used to be. People wised up. There used to be hundreds of comments.
Comment from first article I looked at on Jezebel about Michelle O’s speech:
Perhaps, and I’m just throwing this out there, we need a new Three-Fifths Compromise: men’s votes will count as 3/5’s of women’s votes. Given the temperamental nature of men, even 3/5’s is probably overly generous, but still, you don’t want them whining for four years.
There you go. Instead of saying women shouldn’t vote, they’re saying male votes should count less. That didn’t take long. Shirley you don’t really believe that absurd political comments only come from one side. Disingenuous or ignorance? And yes, I’m going to call you Shirley.
“we need a new Three-Fifths Compromise“
No calls for slavery, no calls for disenfranchised of everybody but white females, no calls for the death of heterosexuals, not even a call to totally remove the vote for men or advocate for their death.
In fact, it was a call to return to the original language of the constitution.
Compare and contrast that with this forum, where routinely folks wish for my death, along with the death of every other liberal Democrat in America.
That’s some real Jesus Christ Christian love for you, there’s no violent hate like Southern Baptist love.
Miner, I spent all of two minutes on that site. I found that comment on the first article I looked at. I didn’t even have to go far into the comment section!
Like I said, I used to check it more often back when I read one of Gawker’s other blogs, Jalopnik. Their comment section was always vile. It was always very anti-white, anti-male, and anti-Christian. Again, you’re being either ignorant or disingenuous by pretending like this doesn’t occur in your party as your leaders spew basket of deplorables, garbage people, racist/Nazi, etc. slurs. List the forums you frequent that are so full of love and acceptance.
Naaaah. It’s been going on for years….
Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian, at a Trump rally said..
“There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.” He made fun of a lot of people and groups.
Hinchcliffe responded to the criticism on social media, saying, “these people have no sense of humor,” and adding: “I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian.”
Trump campaign senior advisor Daniella Alvarez said in a statement to Forbes following the rally the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
Trump did not say that. The campaign had no knowledge of what the comedian was going to say, he made it up on the fly. Its called, commonly, ‘free speech’ and is protected speech under the First Amendment. Why do you object to free speech Miner49er? You want to ban comedians now?
You left wing idiots are sooo sensitive. Your wittle itty bitty feelings get hurt so easily, because you operate in a constant emotional state which makes you very susceptible, as you have shown us Miner49er, to manipulation.
But on the other hand, just a few of many:
Walz ordered police and National guard to fire on innocent civilians.
Biden and Harris intentionally made our border open and insecure, allowing violent gangs and criminals to simply walk in to later commit crimes raging from human trafficking to murder and rape and many more, and Biden and Harris facilitated those crimes by intentionally making our border open and insecure.
Harris outright lied about ‘price gouging’ being the reason prices are so high when even she, after being caught in her lie, walked it back to say that it wasn’t price gouging but rather, basically, biden-nomics?
Food prices are up more than 20% under the Biden-Harris administration.
Biden and Harris, by use of threats and intimidation and conspiring and collusion, during their tenure in office, censoring the free speech and intentionally violating the First Amendment right of millions of Americans on social media.
and many more…
But here you and other left wingers are getting all upset because a comedian made a joke, while ignoring the on-going danger posed by Biden-Harris-Walz and the sad part is you don’t have a clue because you’ve substituted emotion for logic and reasoning and sense of self preferring to live being fed a constant stream of left-wing emotion triggering mental illness TDS satisfying BS.
“no knowledge of what the comedian was going to say, he made it up on the fly. Its called, commonly, ‘free speech’”
Also called, no need to worry about a rehire.
“I love Puerto Rico and vacation there“
That’s great, hilarious. He loves to stay there and have the Puerto Rican folks bring him drinks and make the bed in his suite.
Hey, the Trump campaign knew exactly who they were hiring to do the comedy warm up, they knew exactly what they would get and it was all part of their plan to sow division and anger in America.
So there were just so many unsupported claims in your post, it’s the forum version of a Gish Gallop.
Let’s just take one claim:
“Walz ordered police and National guard to fire on innocent civilians.“
Would you be kind enough to provide details on your statement?
“Hey, the Trump campaign knew exactly who they were hiring to do the comedy warm up, they knew exactly what they would get and it was all part of their plan to sow division and anger in America.

They didn’t know what he was going to say for that, he made it up on the fly.
Nope, not one unsupported claim. The information is available, you just need to know how to do research. I’ve already posted the sources before.
“That’s great, hilarious. He loves to stay there and have the Puerto Rican folks bring him drinks and make the bed in his suite.”
Uhhhh that’s called ’employee service’, its what the employees are suppose to do. Like for example, you go to a restaurant and they have ‘waiters’ that take your order and bring your ordered food and drinks.
Geee whiz Miner49er, its like you have no knowledge of realty.
“Geee whiz Miner49er, its like you have no knowledge of realty.“
I’m no expert, but I know realty well enough to have successfully acquired several hundred acres of wooded property here in West Virginia.
So WTF does realty have to do with this discussion?
Not bad, Miner. At least you have a sense of humor, unlike that lil’d fella.
Two ways to look at your ‘wooded acres’ in WV. You’re another white person that benefited from the genocide of the OP’s.
I know, I know. You’ve already explained that. You contacted some mystery web site and they told you that your acreage was the only land in the US not claimed by a native tribe.
And two. The dems are the party of the wealthy. Corporate billionaires and estate owners such as yourself.
“I’m no expert, but I know realty well enough to have successfully acquired several hundred acres of wooded property here in West Virginia.”
Look, walking onto a property and then claiming it in the name of Comrade Kamala does not mean you have ‘acquired’ the property.
but I know well enough to know YOU have not “acquired several hundred acres of wooded property in West Virginia”, successfully or otherwise.
“So WTF does realty have to do with this discussion?”
Evidently, not much to you.
“Evidently, not much to you”
Oh man, I just realized, you don’t know you misspelled reality.
Realty and reality are two very different things.
Trump does indeed love the “poorly educated”, they are so much easier to mislead.
Oh great, now you are so wrapped up in trolling Miner49er you need to point out spelling mistakes to deflect from your lie. You trolls just never end.
Only a person with something to hide would spend so much time trying to deflect like you are doing Miner49er. Like Kamala does with her word salads to avoid actually answering questions.
MajorLiar,
“Realty and Reality are two different things.”
Clearly, you are so ignorant that you are even unaware when you publicly flaunt your ignorance. Any idea, MajorLiar, why land is commonly called “real property”????
No, of course you don’t. Land exists in the real world; stocks (for example) are a legal concept. You ownership of shares of a company is meaningless when the company closes its doors, goes bankrupt, etc. Land is very real; you can actually walk on it.
“Reality” refers (to most of us educated people) to things we can actually experience in our lives, not idiotic, utopian stupidity like ‘communism’ or ‘progressive politics’. Your transparent attempt to play games with the response is pathetic, but still educational – Leftist/fascists, such as yourself, in addition to being woefully ignorant, can’t even understand the difference between things which exist regardless of the efforts of mankind, and things which only exist in artificial human systems.
As I am fond of saying (ESPECIALLY in YOUR case!!), “Boy, you are dumber than Balaam’s off ass!1” (And it still tickles me that you’re so stupid you STILL haven’t figured that insult out!!)
You damn well KNEW what he was saying, couldn’t coherently respond, so you attempted to make a pathetic joke, instead of an argument. Gonna suck to be you on Nov. 5 – but, then, it ALWAYS sucks to be you, dunnit??
You still didn’t answer the question and provide any substantiation for your claim:
“Walz ordered police and National guard to fire on innocent civilians.“
Would you be kind enough to provide details on your statement?
Paintballs at civilians hanging out on their porch during those ham handed lockdown orders at the least.
Basically: He ordered a curfew, sent police and national guard to enforce it with ‘force’. He never defined what force, he never defined not to fire on people not in the riot zone. By not defining this very important ROE he basically gave the police and national guard carte blanche to decide without defined ROE. It was an unlawful order.
Up to two miles away outside the designated ‘use of force’ riot zone where the ‘force’ was suppose to be employed, police armed with real firearms, were firing ‘alternative’ paintball guns at innocent people on their own front porches on their own property and ordering them to go inside. Such an order was unlawful for they were already legally “in their homes” and it was unlawful for even a governors curfew can not keep one from moving about their own property but rather only upon public property.
Being on your own front porch is being in your ‘curtilage’. The curtilage is considered, legally, in all 50 states to be part of a house or dwelling by virtue of its enclosure by a fence OR HABITUAL USE IN DOMESTIC ACTIVITIES.
People being on their own front porches were legally “in their homes” in all 50 states including Minnesota.
By use of an unlawful order Walz had the police and national guard literally open fire on people not in the riot zone, people who were legally obeying the curfew by being “in their homes” by being on their own front porches. Men, women, and children (including infants) were fired upon with paint ball guns. It was an unlawful use of force by government against innocent civilians. At one point actual firearms were pointed at innocent people by those police with threats of use of force if they did not go back inside their homes – they already were legally “in their homes” by being on their front porches and were not in violation of the curfew because they were not on public property.
He issued the curfew order, the buck stops with him, Walz ordered, by issuing his unlawful order, the police and national guard to fire on innocent civilians.
“Paintballs at civilians hanging out on their porch“
So your position is that Governor Tim Walz ordered the various police departments, county sheriffs and NG in Minnesota to fire paintballs at folks on their porch during Covid lockdowns?
Continuous entertainment, this forum is just so precious!
You do know, there’s audiotape of Donald Trump praising Governor Tim Walz’s response during the BLM protests.
Given the fake news didn’t bother to “fact check” until August 2024 when the truth could hurt him as VP yes, yes I am. As to anyone thanking anyone on that mess I would suspect everything. But keep spinning his dogsht performance, not as bad as NY in killing old people but that was hard to top in the states.
“Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian” Intentionally hired by Donald Trump to whip the crowd into a frenzy with racist insults targeting minorities.
There you go, I finished the sentence for you.
Damn, you convinced me. I guess I have to vote for Harris now. /s
Since racist comedy is cancelled, I guess ALL black comedians are going to be looking for new careers?
“Since racist comedy is cancelled“
No one is canceling racist jokes, make all the crude insults you want… At a comedy club, a concert, any event you want.
Just not at a political event, where the racist insults are calculated to inflame the audience and sow division within the nation.
Surely you can see the difference…
“Damn, you convinced me. I guess I have to vote for Harris now“
Ha ha, you know you want to…
I think it was Bill Shakespeare who said “Many an honest word is spoken in jest… “
Post revolution, that comedian will be charged with anti-government statements, given a thorough enhanced interrogation, and after confession will be “cancelled”.
Yeah, sure would be better if people you didn’t agree with didn’t get to vote huh?
Now for the inevitability that is the copy and pasted article about Trump.
I don’t like the guy. Just don’t try to le own me with something about him. I cannot give less of a fuck anymore. Neither of them are preferable.
“I’m mad about a mean joke a comedian made at the orange hitler’s rally because the tv told me to be. And now I’ll bring it up in unrelated conversations.”
-Miner49er
“I’m mad about… “
Where do you get I’m ‘mad’ about anything?
I’m actually overjoyed that the Trump campaign was foolish enough to think hiring a racist comic was a good idea.
In fact, I think it’s wonderful the Trump campaign is attempting to sow division and prejudice in such a public fashion, showing their hand just before the election is probably a bad idea.
The comedic part is that you, and other dims, think Puerto Rican is a race. Puerto Rico is 50% mixed race, 17% white, and 7% black. If it’s such a lovely place, like you guys said Haiti was a few years ago, then why have people been trying their best to leave for the past couple of decades?
“The comedic part is that you, and other dims, think Puerto Rican is a race. Puerto Rico is 50% mixed race, 17% white, and 7% black.”
Shhhhhhh… Miner49er and the rest of the offended left wing don’t know that, they think Puerto Rican is an actual ‘race’ demographic. Their claims of ‘racist’ and ‘racism’ for the Puerto Rico joke are false.
Remember back when they thought Mexican was a race lol. Good times!
I know I’m not alone in thinking it’s hilarious how leftists suddenly fail to comprehend humor.
Hilarious!
Commies are known for their lack of joy – unless an old lady slips on ice or something.
“hilarious how leftists suddenly fail to comprehend humor“
Humor at others’ expense is just veiled cruelty.
Sadly that seems to be a central tenet of the MAGA movement, the whole ‘joy at liberal tears’ meme is nothing but enjoying the suffering of others, a very special cruelty.
Leftists have never been known for their sense of humor. “Their keen enjoyment hid behind a gothic sense of duty”…
“Humor at others’ expense is just veiled cruelty.
OH, so that’s why Kamala’s campaign said her comment about shooting a home invader was a joke.
Kamala’s whole campaign has been humorous. From the ‘joy joy joy’ BS with no content at all, to her being an illegitimate candidate, to her lie about ‘price gouging’ being why prices are up, to her marx -ist socia – list ‘economic plan’, to her lies about her stance on the 2A, to her efforts to censor free speech, to her lies about the intentionally open and insecure border – and everything in between. Yes, very cruel she is.
“her being an illegitimate candidate“
She received a unanimous vote of the Democratic delegates at the nominating convention held by the DNC.
Just like Abraham Lincoln in 1860:
“The two frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination were Lincoln and New York Senator William Seward. After three votes, Lincoln was nominated with Hannibal Hamlin as his running mate.“
Lincoln was nominated after the third vote, Kamala Harris was nominated on the first vote of the delegates at the convention.
“her comment about shooting a home invader”
So you’re having difficulty understanding the difference between a hypothetical ‘home invader’ and an actual group of real people… Not surprising.
It was Donald Trump’s choice to allow Tony to open the rally at Madison Square Garden, and Trump still has not apologized for his crass attack upon the entire island territory of Puerto Rico.
Unfortunately for him, Puerto Ricans are American citizens and those resident in the United States, approximately 5 million people, have the right to vote in the presidential election.
I must say, I certainly appreciate Donald Trump’s efforts to motivate Puerto Rican voters in the upcoming election.
“think Puerto Rican is a race“
Nope, actually race is a social construct.
But it’s come to be a catchall term for many minority groups.
“A concept used to describe a group of people who share physical characteristics, such as skin color and facial features. They may also share similar social or cultural identities and ancestral backgrounds. There are many racial groups, and a person may belong to or identify with more than one group“
In Puerto Rico those folks share similar social and cultural identities and many of them have a similar ancestral background.
As you note above, a great many of them are Hispanics, that is they share an ancestral background from Spain.
And at Donald Trump‘s campaign rally the comedian he hired to ‘warm up the crowd’ made some terribly insulting comments about the folks in Puerto Rico.
It wasn’t illegal, because speech is free but there certainly will be negative consequences for the campaign.
“Nope, actually race is a social construct.”
Oh, cool. Now race doesn’t matter anymore. Now it’s everything. No, wait. Now it’s nothing again. Hey, it’s just like gender! It’s whatever you want it to be.
“In Puerto Rico those folks share similar social and cultural identities and many of them have a similar ancestral background.”
So, it’s like America. I realize that you guys have been furiously working on changing that because you hate America. But traditionally, this country, like ALL countries, “share similar social and cultural identities and many of them have a similar ancestral background.” So, yes. You still think Puerto Rican is a race. According to your definition, America is a race too. That means you guys are REALLY racist against Americans.
BTW, his joke bombed with the crowd. If it was a “racist” joke for a crowd of “Nazis” then why didn’t the crowd love it? Hmm…
Instead of trying to put down the other side, maybe you should take a few moments to get to know them. We have more in common that you’d like to admit. When people wake up and realize it isn’t R vs D, but institutional establishment elitists vs Americans, then the game is over. That’s why they want us divided.
“Instead of trying to put down the other side, maybe you should take a few moments to get to know them“
You need to tell that to all the folks who post on this list and wish for death for liberals and Democrats.
You should tell that to the folks on this list who call me stupid, idiot, and many other worse names, while trying to insult me with same-sex comments continuously.
I do think we have much more in common, but if I made that statement on this list the responses would be less then… Unifying.
“institutional establishment elitists vs Americans“
I agree, it’s the elite billionaires against working folks, and a fine example is Elon musk and Donald Trump:
“I love it,” Trump said. “You’re the greatest … I mean, I look at what you do. You just walk in and you just say, ‘You wanna quit?’ They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, ‘That’s OK, you’re all gone … Every one of you is gone.'”
“You are the greatest!” he added after Musk chuckled. “You would be very good [on the proposed commission]. Oh, you would love it.”
Snidely Whiplash and Simon Bar Sinister giggling about screwing over working folks.
You mean like many of my coworkers, neighbors, dwellers of Albany, school boards and various officials and activist groups? Yeah know a lot of them very well. Some are in denial of reality and most either blindly follow authority or seek power over others. Democrats have a way of bringing out the totalitarianism in a population they rule.
You know I don’t engage in that wish for death talk. I’m about as pro-life as they come. 99% of that talk is hyperbole anyway. I still don’t agree with it. And like SAFE said, that talk comes from both sides.
Yes, it’s a major problem that there are people depending on that government paycheck. Even if they aren’t really needed, it isn’t their fault that they took an open job. I’ve talked about this before. I’m very pro-small government. However, that doesn’t mean that we should just fire a zillion people. Like I’ve mentioned before, you have a hiring freeze outside of something like the VA, etc. When you do need to hire someone, you only hire from within the federal government. There are already enough people working there to choose from. You can also encourage retirements, etc. Our gov didn’t become this monstrosity overnight. Getting rid of it overnight is a fantasy.
“that talk comes from both sides“
Nope, I look at many different forms and there is no comparison between liberal forums and the right wing forums like TTAG.
Calls for death, the veiled and not so veiled threats, the profanity and sexually based insults, nope, no comparison.
Just listen to the difference between Kamala Harris public speaking, and Donald Trump. It’s Trump who says America is the garbage can, it’s Trump saying the immigrants are murderers and rapists, there’s no comparison and it starts at the top.
99% hyperbole?
Hey, when someone tells you what they’re planning, you’d best believe them.
Well, enough fun and witty repartee, I’m going to go haul some garbage and empty the compost before it starts getting chilly again. It was 33° here last night.
You must not look very hard as a quick glance at a Yahoo comment section would prove you wrong in seconds. But you have an agenda to push with an increasing number of people not believing it so good luck with that.
“Just listen to the difference between Kamala Harris public speaking, and Donald Trump.”
Yes, there is a difference. Trump is bluntly straight forward. With Kamala, the word salad she spews out trying to not actually answer a question.
“It’s Trump who says America is the garbage can, it’s Trump saying the immigrants are murderers and rapists, there’s no comparison and it starts at the top.”
Once again, context missing intentionally…
Trump said of the Biden-Harris border policy:
“They unleashed an army of migrant gangs waging a campaign of violence, … We’re a dumping ground. We’re like a garbage can for the world.”
He was 100% correct, the Biden-Harris border policy has turned us into a “dumping ground” “like a garbage can for the world.” Countries are emptying out their prisons to to dump their criminal garbage here.
On the other hand, as the violent gangs and criminals commit their crimes here in the U.S. after they simply walked across the intentionally open and insecure Biden-Harris border, Kamala tells us its not happening and the border is secure when the facts say otherwise and when shes asked about it in interviews instead of answering the question she spews word salad and doesn’t answer the questions as put to her.
“Nope, actually race is a social construct.”
Great! so you, Miner49er, just said there was no racism in the joke about Puerto Rico.
Be a real shame if any relevant number gave a damn about a joke. Tick tock you’re running out of clock.
MajorLiar,
“The only floating garbage I see is his supporters!” – Senile Joe Biden, at a Hispanic outreach meeting on 10/29/2024.
Yeah, you Dimocrats (translation: “Leftist/fascists”) sure are all about that unity thing, aren’t you. Does it ever bother you to be such a lying POS, or are you just exercising your tribe’s “by any means necessary” ethic???? Useless, lying putz.
MajorLiar,
Refer to my Senile Joe quote, above. WHICH party is “trying to sow division”????? What a lying POS you are. But, then, that’s very “on brand” for Leftist/fascists, such as the Dimocrat party.
Yes Trump was correct.
Pay Spain to take the Place back and the US would be improved. Perhaps moving he entire UN there 1st (though Haiti is the perfect location for the UN).
More than a few times I’ve had to go to the post office to pick up a package. I pull up, remove my 1911 from its holster, stow it in the Hummer, and walk in to get the package. Once they hand it to me I laugh, they ask what’s funny? I say I have to disarm to come in, (yes, they all know I’m an FFL), once here, you hand me a box with guns in it.
Hmmm…I guess I technically violate the post office law when I sit in the post office parking lot for my wife or son to get ice cream(mostly at night). Their parking next door is usually hard to maneuver around🙄. Duly noted. I would never take a gat inside the post office or police station.
“…you hand me a box with guns in it.”
Yeah, that’s funny. Hardly anything the gov’t does any more makes sense.
Last time I was in our post office, I noticed that their No Weapons sign was gone. They’ve moved it a couple times, so I’ll keep an eye out, but it wasn’t in any of the places where it had been prior. I’m aware that the prohibition stands regardless of the sign, but I find it’s absence makes me curious.
I’m not sure what all the hullabaloo is about, this has already been ruled unconstitutional in federal court:
“Florida judge rules ban on guns in U.S. post offices is unconstitutional
Jan 29, 2024, 11 AM
By Allen Abel
The United States Postal Service cannot prohibit its employees and visitors from carrying a properly registered gun into a post office, according to a sweeping Jan. 12 decision by a federal district judge in Florida.
In a case involving a USPS truck driver who was arrested after entering a Tampa, Fla., postal facility with a pistol in a fanny pack, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, declared the existing ban on firearms on postal property — and, by extension, at all other locations owned by the federal government — unconstitutional.
Judge Mizelle’s decision in United States of America v. Emmanuel Ayala referenced the 2022 opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, in which it held, by a 6-3 vote, that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a handgun for self-defense.”
I’m not sure why the article above doesn’t mention this case, I guess just shoddy journalism probably.
Does it cover everywhere? No? That’s why you disingenuous propagandist.
Progressivism is winning!
The world has just witnessed the most diverse and inclusive Nazi rally in history.
Haha. Nazis for Jews and minorities apparently. Israel named a town after Trump. Jews and Arabs alike love him. Trump is expanding the party, bringing in more minorities than any Republican in my lifetime. But hE’s a NaZi.
That’s all they have. Well, that and moar abortion. They can’t get enough of it. Abortion is the closest thing to genocide we’ve had here. Planned Parenthood targeted (and still targets) black people for elimination. Meanwhile, Trump wants to help the country which helps everyone.
And let’s not forget that Margaret Sanger, who founded organizations that became Planned Parenthood, worked with ACTUAL Nazis. They were both very interested in eugenics. Gotta get rid of those undesirables.
I never understood why a coalition of homosexuals, post menopausal women, old men, land whales and weebs too insecure to talk to the opposite sex are so hung up on abortion.
The only Democrats procreating are the urban minority block they perpetually abuse only to pander to once every four years. Though this time they’re trading the pandering for shaming, bullying and insulting.
I know the answer because I’ve studied this issue. It’s mostly not really what people think it is. The real reason? It’s easy. It’s like the gun issue. Sure they wouldn’t mind disarming us, but that’s basically impossible. They run on it because it’s easy. There’s always another type of gun/feature/accessory to take/ban. There’s also an endless supply of babies to kill. It’s the gift that keeps on giving for them. They know their voter base is full of easily manipulated, emotional people. They’ve convinced them that 1) abortion is the key to thriving, 2) it’s synonymous with female empowerment, and 3) oppressors want to ban abortion to hold women back. That’s why they keep lying about Trump’s supposed abortion ban. Guess what has happened since Roe v. Wade was overturned? Abortion increased! Yes, really.
Politicians prefer to “tackle” easy issues because they’re never really going to “tackle” them. If they win too much for their constituents, then how are they going to easily raise money? Plus, they don’t even care that much about these hot button issues. The gun and abortion issues are important, but they’re really just distracting us as they raid the treasury.
Best to avoid the USPS. Entirely, if possible.
Last year, it took them 27 days to send my credit card payment from Louisiana to Illinois, cost me $250 in late fees and interest (I charge almost all non-firearm expenses and pay balance in full every month). Never again.
I have a PO box. I can access that area without going through metal detectors. They have detectors set up at the store area. However, it’s still illegal to have a firearm in my vehicle in the parking lot.
It’s difficult to remember when to disarm, leave your firearm at home, etc. One time I forgot to leave my CCW in the vehicle. I walked right through the metal detectors into the store area. No alarm went off unless it only alerted the employees. What if the alarm went off, and they called the police? What a mess…
Dude,
“What if the alarm went off, and they called the police?”
I imagine at that point that you would become a test case to overturn the ban on carrying firearms for righteous self-defense at Post Offices.
Hund: Years ago companies use to accept the postmark on a letter/payment if it was postmarked on or before the due date. I see now that they no longer do this. Here a city carrier will not stop to pick up mail to be mailed unless they have incoming mail for the address. The U S P S has really changed, for the worse, since I retired as PM in 1995.
He went to the post office
the other day
had a six shooter packed away
on his hip and out of sight
no way for any to view
there was no need for fright
the six shooter was out of sight
caution was not an issue
the six shooter was out of sight
some would have been nauseous
had they know about the six shooter
that was out out of sight.
Same here. Our business is in town, in a small shopping plaza. We don’t see any of the mail carriers now unless they have something for us. Our former mailman (also a customer), now retired and putting miles on his RV, would stop every day, if nothing else than just to say hi. Another customer is a retired PM from a nearby town, and he just shakes his head and says he doesn’t have to deal with it any more.
Hund, we’ve had half a dozen checks lost in the mail the past couple years. I try to pay everything online or in person these days.
Did you see that gun I walked into the post office with?
Didnt think so, its concealed.
My policy is if I do not have to go through a metal detector
All the law abiding are guilty and banned! You can restrict your workers but not the public you doushbags!
