Massive Overreach Again

We've often been accused of being unrealistic and of seeing the bad side too often. 

We disagree, seeing as how we've been correct more often than not. We prefer to think of it as realistic and trusting that people are ALWAYS going to do the thing that gives them more power/control, no matter what. How you react to those situations tells us a lot about you as a human being.

Look at Groot. Look at Governor Fatass. Look at the governors of Michigan, California, New York. All of these politicians claimed or were granted "emergency powers" that they promptly abused beyond any constitutional scope and beyond anything seen in this country since we kicked out the King of England.

Now look at New Mexico this weekend:

• New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) issued an order Friday suspending, for 30 days, state residents’ rights to carry guns for self-defense in Albuquerque.

  The ban applies to concealed and open carry.

This is in response to a couple of shootings in Albuquerque, none of which involved concealed carry holders or lawful firearm owners. The Right erupted in outrage, numerous sheriffs stated their refusal to enforce this blatant power grab, and democrats screamed "Won't someone think of the children!" as a justification for this overreach. 

But this is what happened with Covid overreach, too. Businesses were shut down, called un-essential, masking forced upon those who had acquired natural immunity and those who had been vaccinated, jobs held hostage, travel restrictions imposed. Science was used to bully even after the science was proven fake and falsified.

And people think we're being pessimistic about Prohibition making a comeback? After this stunt, why wouldn't it?
