  1. Vote against companies dictating your rights, by voting with your dollars. Refuse to support banks that exercise this kind of control, and make it a point to support those that refuse to.
    Look at what has happened to Dicks Sporting Goods since they made their decision on selling guns? YOU can impact these for-profit companies by spending your dollars with companies that do not infringe on your rights. Credit card companies are no different. Let your voice be heard.

    1. Include CitiBank on that “voting with your dollars” list.
      They have decided to participate in Operation Chokepoint style economic warfare against lawful gun buyers and sellers.

  2. Regarding learning to shoot with iron sights. My Dad and 3 older brothers learned to shoot LONG before any red dot technology. Bolt action rifles, shotguns, pistols, from around WWI to the 1960’s. All three brothers served in the Army and all three did NOT need training in accuracy. They hunted very SMALL game on our Connecticut farm (back then there were no deer or bear in CT, and rarely even a Red Fox.) So, it was snakes, pheasants, woodchucks, and TARGETS in the Sand Pit. Dad surveyed a large island off the coast of Sarasota back in the early 1920’s wearing high leather boots, and two 45’s on his hips because of the scrub and CORAL SNAKES AND RATTLERS. Gun safety was No. 1 priority with him and his five children, especially when we were young.

  3. AI has neither understanding nor will. It is merely an advanced way of doing really good heuristics. It can “recognize” a stop sign, but doesn’t know what a stop sign is. It will be interesting if driverless cars stop at every crosswalk because the sign has a small stop sign then saying “if flashing” or “if pedestrians are crossing”.

    It isn’t even neutral (there’s a list of AI mistakes). AI trying to determine tumors wrongly noticed the cancerous ones usually had rulers.

    I listen to someone like Glenn Beck worry – it will escape into the internet and hide in your smart refrigerator. No. These require massive amounts of electronics and power, wouldn’t think of escaping (unless that was what it was trying but wouldn’t add anything else on its own).

    Even now, if you try to do a Alexa/Siri/GHome type voice recognition, it has to be online.

    It is a threat like any computer or other technology is. But it isn’t some sci-fi monster.

    There is real threat and it is already here. How do you set bail, from zero to not allowing it at all? Will AI notice race? Or correlate something that correlates with race? Same with gun and gun owners (our AI says you are dangerous). Or even the Breathalyzer. Conviction by magic box you can’t see the design or source code for and no release 99 guilty rather than convict 1 innocent. But I don’t see the ACLU or ACLJ or IJ or anyone else to end “guilt by reason of computerized device”.

  5. I do not use a credit card to pay for a firearm, accessories, or ammo. Why leave an electronic trail where there’s no need to? Pay cash. Also, my last several gun purchases were used ones in good condition, from a private individual. No need for a FBI background checks. There have been too many times when the FBI forgot or failed to delete those electronic files of background checks. It’s a simple transaction with cash, whether buying a gun, extra magazine and/or ammo.

  6. most of the information on the 5 lies video is solid. but he needs to emphasize that fine motor control reduces under stressful situations, meaning you must train to do those tasks till you cant mess them up. (or at least a high level of proficiency)
    the other mistake is understanding that you will not always use your sights that does not mean you won’t be aiming, it means you will be shooting from crazy positions. so once again practice practice. just my two cents

  8. As to the article about Washington state. It seems our attorney general likes to legislate rather than go about his responsibilities of enforcing its laws. Already facing felony campaign finance violations, it’s only a matter of months before he announces he wants the governors chair. Then he will go full bore Kalifornia! Time to relocate

  9. Regarding the government shutdown..given that welfare to able bodied people is against conservative principles how can we support paying the federal workers back pay once this is over? They didn’t do any work. Obviously beyond their control but people whose factory burns down don’t get paid while the factory is rebuilt.
