The Black Panthers V2 Cue up Aretha Franklin Respect video Cold Open: Talking about the Black Panthers today. Not the movie that is STILL in theaters that has already made roughly 1.5 BILLION dollars. Seriously. Against a 210 million dollar budget. As if Disney needed even MORE money. Good God. Pretty soon we Americans will be living in the United States of Disney. Or perhaps the United States of Amazon. Not talking about the large cats that look so cuddly but could easily claw your face off of your skull and then pop what’s left of your skull like a grape in its powerful bad kitty jaws. Talking about the black nationalist, African American revolutionary group that kicked off in 1966 - the Black Panther Political Party that rose from the ashes of Malcom X and stood as a fierce, fighting example of Black Power during the Civil Rights turmoil of the 1960s. Talking about a very complicated, very polarizing group of freedom fighters and neighborhood protectors. Not an easy topic for a white dude to cover but I’m just dumb enough to give it a go! May Nimrod have mercy on my soul. The Black Panthers have a complex history. They fought for racial equality. They fought for a better future for black children. They fought the police. They fought the FBI. They fought other revolutionary groups. They fought each other. They did a LOT of fighting!!! And we’re gonna thoroughly suck their fight that was at times incredibly inspirational, at other times - at best - morally questionable, and almost always, controversial, today on Timesuck.

PAUSE TIMESUCK INTERLUDE II. Intro/Establish Premiss: A. African American Life in 1960s America: To Understand the Black Panthers of the 1960s - to understand why this organization was ever thought up or formed in the first place - you have to understand what life was like for many black Americans in America in the1960s, particularly those living in urban areas. This is one of those Sucks where context is REAL important. Super, duper important. And before I head down the road of today’s Suck, know that I love your black meat sacks, our white meat sacks, and our law enforcement meat sacks. Probably gonna hit those notes several times today. Obviously, as a white man, I can’t personally speak to what it is like to live as a black American in this or any other era. ALTHOUGH - according to my 23 and Me results, I am in fact 0.3% Sudanese AND ALSO 0.1% percent Sub-Saharan African. So… Kidding not kidding! Not kidding about my genetic test results, kidding about how those results would enlighten me in any way whatsoever to the historical struggle of many black Americans. Before I dive into the meat of this episode, just know that I know that I’m white as fuck. I know I can’t personally relate to widespread racial discrimination on any level. Just found this story fascinating and wanted to Suck it and followed it where truth and logic took me. Hail Nimrod! Meat sacks of all color - including myself - all rationally, critically thinking empathetic meat sacks, can, I hope, at least understand what it’s like to struggle. I hope we all, AT LEAST, recognize that others are struggling and know how to empathize with them. We are all part of the human experience. Another important disclaimer before I go further! I’m VERY racist. I just want you to keep that in mind. When it comes to Polish people, many of you know that I have some pretty extreme prejudices. And they’re not widely accepted. But I’m not ready to accept them as humans yet. And that’s my right. And I’m done with this tired joke that I can’t seem to stay away from. No - real disclaimer now… - When it comes to issues that involve race, just like politics, religion, gender issues, etc - things have a tendency to leave the arena of logic and enter the realm of emotion real quick. It’s sensitive shit. And that is why I’m gonna throw out some numbers - little bit of math - to kick this Suck off. Numbers that make the case that life on average was unquestionably way fucking harder for black Americans than white Americans in the 1960s, as it still is overall today. That’s not opinion. That’s statistical fact that has been documented by numerous comprehensive, non partisan studies time and time again. And if you’re thinking, “Well I’m not black and life isn’t easy for me. I’m struggling! I worry about rent every month! And I know plenty of black people way better off than my poor ass, making way more money that me and my family ever have! I struggle far more in every meaningful way that they’re struggling! What the fuck, dude!?!” I get it! Your feelings are valid! Your struggle is real! Your hardships are very real! Hell yes they are. Not denying that ONE DAMN BIT. But this Suck isn’t about comparing one INDIVIDUAL life to another ISOLATED life. It’s about cultural trends. It’s about overall tendencies. On AVERAGE, members of every race but black are doing better than members of African descent in the United States because statistically, when it comes to average education level, average income, and average incarceration rate - no one has had a rougher go of it than black Americans. There are roughly a metric shit ton of stats that back this claim up. And these aren’t “liberal agenda” numbers taken from the “liberal media” for my more socially conservative listeners. Take a deep breath. Grab a stress ball and give it a squeeze. Yip, Yip, Yaw!!! The numbers I’ll be relaying to you today aren’t taken from White Guilt Dot Snowflake. They’re not taken from Social Justice Warrior Dot Cry Me A Fucking River. They’re taken from either the US Bureau of Labor, or the US Census Bureau, or the US Bureau of Justice. And if you think THOSE organizations were conspiratorially motivated in favor of the plight of black Americans back in the 60s? Or that they are today? Well then you’re just not a logical person! You might as well turn this off now because quite literally nothing I can say can make today’s tale appealing to you.

INTRODUCTION 18 Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of 19 home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle, 20 the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms 21 protected under District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and United States v 22 Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939). Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR- 23 15 type rifle. Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional. 24 Plaintiffs challenge a net of interlocking statutes which impose strict criminal 25 restrictions on firearms that fall under California’s complex definition of the ignominious 26 “assault weapon.” Hearings on a preliminary injunction were consolidated with a trial on 27 the merits pursuant to F.R.C.P.

  • August 2021 Legislation/Litigation Update
    August 2021 Legislation/Litigation Update Focus Items for August: Amicus Briefs A pair of amicus briefs were filed by 176 member of the house and 25 senators to the Supreme Court in the NYSRPA v. Corlett New York concealed carry permit case. This is a major Second Amendment case seeking to find NY's carry permit laws unconstitutional. The briefs filed by the members of congress support striking down New York's carry permit restrictions. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has also filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court requesting they strike down New York's carry permit laws. This was filed on behalf of the state of Texas in the NYSRPA v. Corlett Supreme Court Second Amendment case. Attorneys General in 22 states have filed Amicus briefs in Miller V Bonta, which is the case seeking to strike down the California Assault Weapon Ban. These state Attorneys General are opposing the state of California's action. Currently, firearms that meet the California definition of “assault weapon” are legal in 46 other states. Legislation US Congress: Currently it appears that any gun control bills are unlikely to pass the Senate. If there is any change and it looks like something may pass, I will update at that time. California Legislature: SB-448 California Emergency Services Act: emergency powers: limitation. This bill would enact the Emergency Power Limitation Act. The bill would require an emergency order, as defined, to be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling public health or safety purpose and limited in duration, applicability, and scope. The bill would authorize any person to bring an action to invalidate or enjoin enforcement of an emergency order that is allegedly unlawful.

  • Gun Shows I Have Seen and Been to How It Really Is
    Gun Shows I Have Seen and Been To How it Really Is I was commenting on our Kentucky gun shows recently and realized that in my travels over the United States, I had encountered many forms of gun shows in the different parts of the country and they all take on a different personality because people are a little different all over the United States. I guess one of my favorite “Skeeter Skelton” stories is his attendance at the Horse Thief, New Mexico gun show where he got the shaft on a faked Colt SA in .32-20. Worth looking up and reading if you haven’t read it before and always worth a second reading. I guess my first encounter with a gun show was in High Falls, North Carolina when I was in my teens. This wasn’t really a gun show as we know them today but was what I’d call a “swap session”. On every other Tuesday (by consent of the participants), the local gun nuts would gather at this small country store and trade guns out of the backs of their cars and pickups. The traders were “colorful” to say the least and tobacco juice littered the ground and you’d best stand upwind while making a trade or looking at an item. Now, this might seem kind of back woodsy but it was not unusual to see 15-20 thousand dollars worth of high-grade shotguns wrapped in blankets in the back of some guy’s car or pickup. Mostly Browning, L.C.

A Comparative Analysis of California and Nevada Gun Control Laws as They Relate to Gun Violence Submitted to Professor Joseph Bessette By Dani Chami For Senior Thesis Fall 2018 December 10, 2018 Abstract The recent mass shooting on October 1, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada has been marked in history as the worst mass shooting in the United States to this point. The details of the shooting beg the question, is it coincidence that it happened in Nevada, a state with some of the least restrictive gun control laws? Mass shootings have become an unfortunate part of reality in the United States, but these are fairly uncommon occurrences. While they are horrific and deserve attention, daily gun violence cannot be forgotten.

  • Ballot Initiative for Commonsense Gun Reform
    CONSENT CALENDAR BELVEDERE CITY COUNCIL MARCH 14, 2016 To: Mayor and City Council From: Police Chief Tricia Seyler Subject: Adopt a resolution in support of the “Safety for All” ballot initiative for commonsense gun reform Recommended Motion/Item Description Adopt the resolution and direct staff to forward copies to U.S. President Barack Obama, U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Governor Jerry Brown, Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, California Senator Loni Hancock, and California Assemblymember Tony Thurmond. Background California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom announced a 2016 ballot initiative that would enact stricter gun laws in California. If approved, the package of commonsense gun reforms known as the “Safety for All” Initiative would require instant background checks for purchases of ammunition, strengthen background checks for gun purchases, prohibit possession of large detachable military-style magazines, and require individuals convicted of serious and violent crimes to immediately surrender firearms in their possession. The specific provisions of the draft initiative include: 1. Prohibit Possession of Large-Capacity Military-Style Magazines: The Safety for All Initiative will outlaw possession of large-capacity magazines of 11 rounds or more and provides for their legal disposal. If passed, California would join New York, New Jersey, Hawaii and the District of Columbia in banning possession of these military-style magazines. 2. Treat Ammunition Sales Like Gun Sales: The initiative requires licensing of ammunition vendors and point-of-sale background checks for ammunition purchases. Under the initiative, if a person is convicted of a felony, a violent misdemeanor, has a restraining order or has been declared dangerously mentally ill, they will no longer be able to buy ammunition in California.
