Gun control activists have been doing their worst again in recent weeks, demonizing law-abiding gun owners and the National Rifle Association as they seek to undermine and infringe upon the Second Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms.

As such, they are also pushing yet another legislative attempt to ban “assault weapons,” a made-up term that essentially constitutes any sort of firearm that looks like something the military would use, but in actuality is a standard semi-automatic firearm with certain cosmetic features, of which there are millions upon millions in common use.

Unfortunately for them, their fear and loathing when it comes to firearms runs so deep that they can’t even keep straight what kinds of weapons they claim they do and don’t want to ban — likely because they don’t even know the basics of firearms and how they operate in the first place.

Case in point is the following tweet from Shannon Watts, leader of the Bloomberg-backed Moms Demand Action gun control advocacy group, who posted a picture of a “scary” looking rifle and fretted that an 18-year-old adult could purchase one at a sporting goods store, according to The Daily Wire.

In the eyes of Watts and her small but vocal coterie of liberal moms demanding gun bans, the above rifle should be classified as an “assault weapon” and ripped from the hands of law-abiding citizens, largely because of its black “tactical” appearance that resembles a military-issue firearm.

But in reality, the gun Watts is apparently so fearful of is nothing more than a bolt-action .22 long rifle caliber firearm, the sort of firearm that legions of gun owners learned to shoot with and grew up around as children. Deadly with a well-placed shot, yes, but still barely a step above a BB gun, and largely suitable for target practice or hunting small game like rabbits and gophers.

Don’t look now Shannon Watts but your ignorance is showing. You literally picked the least dangerous rifle commonly used by adolescents for target practice, to demonstrate that it’s too dangerous for adults, only because it’s “SCARY” looking.

That rifle isn’t even one of the “new” “fully semi-automatic” rifles which reloads itself after each trigger pull that ignorant liberals are now clamoring about (they’ve been in existence for more than a century), but one that must be manually operated to eject the shell of a spent round prior to chambering a new round after each shot.

In other words, this rifle is about as far from an actual “assault rifle” — one capable of fully automatic fire on a single trigger pull — as can be, which, by the way, were already heavily regulated for civilian ownership by the National Firearms Act of 1934.

As Bearing Arms pointed out, Watts received quite an education on this rifle in the comments on her post — not that she will actually learn anything, because she apparently blocks and ignores anyone who doesn’t tout her “ban ’em all” propaganda line.

Then the Bearing Arms’ writer unloaded the absolute truth: “Shannon picked that particular gun because it’s scary looking. It has an M-Lok rail system like a so-called assault rifle, and it has a Picatinny scope base like many evil black rifles, and it has a magazine that’s a little too long for her tastes, so it must be an evil rifle.”

But, again, it is simply a bolt-action .22 caliber rifle dressed up to look “cool” with “tactical” accessories. If this exact same rifle was fitted with a traditional wood stock, some of the duplicitous anti-gun liberals would assure us gun owners that we would be allowed to keep it — for now at least — as part of their planned gun control infringements.

That’s a bolt-action, .22-caliber rifle. It’s used for target practice and hunting small critters/varmints. That’s literally no different, functionally, than this rifle pictured below…it just “looks scarier”. ffs. And you wonder why “common sense” gun legislation never passes. pic.twitter.com/LzzvDg5UIJ

It is ignorance like this tweet from Watts that cause gun owners to believe that the left is less than serious about actually doing anything reasonable to combat gun violence. Instead, it reveals that their true agenda is to ban guns of all sorts and leave the law-abiding citizens of our nation disarmed.

Share this story on Facebook to help further expose the ignorance of Shannon Watts and gun-grabbers just like her, who can’t tell the difference between a fully automatic M4 “actual” assault rifle and bolt-action .22 caliber rifle.

Playing identity politics is a risky game. The Democrat Party no doubt thought it could snag easy votes by pandering to the largely Latino population of “Dreamers” … but the left’s eagerness to blame Republicans for every problem is now causing many in that community to reject liberal promises.

During a recent appearance on Fox News, an illegal immigrant and participant in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program named Cata Santiago had harsh words for Democrats and their inability to work with President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers.

“They don’t walk their talk,” declared the 20-year-old immigrant, who is a Mexican citizen but was taken to the U.S. by her parents when she was only 8.

Trump moved to end the Obama-enacted DACA program after it had been repeatedly extended, based primarily on the argument that, according to the U.S. Constitution, important immigration rules should be passed by Congress instead of created by executive action.

Trump gave lawmakers half a year to pass a permanent solution and said that he would sign it when it reached his desk. A bipartisan bill never materialized.

Santiago slammed the left for constantly pointing fingers at conservatives while doing next to nothing to actually build a path to citizenship.

“We’re tired of it. We’re tired of believing them when they say ‘It’s the Republicans.’ They make promises when they’re in an election, and when it’s over they’re done and don’t do anything,” she stated.

A recently uncovered memo from within the Democrat Party revealed that the party was worried about gaining votes from Hispanics and saw Dreamers as “a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success.”

Many observers interpreted this as an admission that liberals were defending DACA for votes, not for ideological reasons.

Other immigrants also echoed Santiago’s rejection of Democrat politics.

“The Democrats made the calculation to kick the can down the road and allow hundreds of thousands of us undocumented youth to live in uncertainty,” pointed out Maria Duarte, who was part of a sit-in protest at DNC headquarters. “We are anxious and we are scared of being torn away from our homes and our community.”

Even strong advocates of the DACA program are voicing their frustration over Democrats falling on their face when it came to finding a solution for so-called “Dreamers.”

“Democrats have no plan, and once again, Schumer, now the minority leader, is showing that protecting these immigrants … was never his priority,” complained Cesar Vargas, a pro-amnesty immigration attorney.

“The lack of leadership by Democrats, however, is nothing new. In 2009, they controlled the White House and Congress and still failed to bring up immigration reform for a vote,” Vargas pointed out.

He’s not wrong. You could even say that “complain and blame Republicans” has been the de facto Democrat playbook since the Clinton era. As the old saying goes, you can’t fool all of the people all of the time … and even Dreamers may have run out of sympathy for leftist excuses.

The announcement on Thursday that Kim Jong Un was planning to meet, face to face, with President Trump was nothing short of a game-changer. What was even more amazing is that it does not appear the U.S. will have to make any major concessions in order for the meeting to happen.

Many wondered what had changed to bring Kim to the table. Some speculated it was an outgrowth of the “charm offensive” that the North Koreans recently engaged in at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Some have said it’s just another tactic by an unstable regime.

Others have even said it’s because the Trump administration has broken with American protocol by not treating North Korea as a pariah state, because there’s nothing so monumental and promising that it can’t be blamed on one Donald John Trump.

As for Vice President Mike Pence, he has an answer of his own. The left, predictably, isn’t going to like it — partially because it makes them look bad, and partially because it gets a lot closer to the truth than any of the other theories.

“North Korea’s desire to meet to discuss denuclearization — while suspending all ballistic missile and nuclear testing – is evidence that President Trump’s strategy to isolate the Kim regime is working,” Pence said in a White House statement Friday.

“The North Koreans are coming to the table despite the United States making zero concessions and, in close coordination with our allies, we have consistently increased the pressure on the Kim regime,” he continued.

“Our resolve is undeterred and our policy remains the same: all sanctions remain in place and the maximum pressure campaign will continue until North Korea takes concrete, permanent, and verifiable steps to end their nuclear program.”

And, as for then White House, they’re making it abundantly clear they’re not going to give in to any sort of concessions in order to have the talks.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said that North Korea needs to take steps toward denuclearization and stop its missile tests, and that talks won’t happen “until we see concrete actions that match the words and the rhetoric of North Korea.”

Trump’s hardline stance on North Korea has been significantly different than that of previous administrations.

The buzz-phrase regarding Pyongyang during Barack Obama’s time in office was “strategic patience,” which allowed the regime to dramatically ramp up its military development — as one can see from the numerous missile and nuclear tests. The truth was that Obama would have never thought of playing rough with North Korea — and North Korea had no intention of sitting down at the table with America.

While the Bush administration would sporadically take a hard line on North Korea, there were other pressing issues in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan — and, while North Korea was a member in good (or rather, bad) standing of the Axis of Evil, Bush wasn’t the kind of leader to utter phrases like “fire and fury” when it came to Kim Jong Il’s provocations, such as they were.

The Clinton administration’s dealings with North Korea were even more of a mess. Clinton, readers might remember, was the president when North Korea’s nuclear program was in its nascent stages. That administration offered food aid to the starving country in exchange for stopping its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, in addition to allowing inspectors into the country.

That deal quickly went south, however, with North Korea launching a satellite into orbit in violation of the terms of the agreement; it wasn’t long before inspectors were ejected from the country, as well.

In contrast to these three presidents, Trump has made it clear that his threats against the North Koreans are far from idle. He’s not only put pressure on North Korea, he’s put the country’s few remaining allies on notice that his administration has no intention of tolerating those who treat sanctions against Pyongyang lightly.

And, lo and behold, Kim Jong Un is coming to the table. Imagine that.

Coincidence? Mike Pence doesn’t think so, and I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who takes these sorts of things seriously who would disagree.

They have blood on their hands! …………………………………… …………………………………………………….

Featured up top is Grace, the six-year-old daughter of Hispanic parents Angela and Jesus Aguilar. Described by Los Angeles station KNBC as a child who “loved people, nature and God,” Grace lost her life on Feb. 17 because of the actions of a man named Maximino Delgado Lagunas, according to RedState:

On a typically gorgeous Southern California Saturday afternoon Grace and her cousin were playing in the front yard of her family’s Fullerton home when Maximino Delgado Lagunas drunkenly drove his 1990 Toyota 4-Runner onto the sidewalk, plowing into Grace as her cousin stood nearby. Lagunas then kept driving, attempting to get away, before crashing into another car.

But Lagunas is more than just your everyday scumbag — he’s one of the millions of illegal immigrants in California whose lives Gov. Jerry Brown and other state legislators & officials clearly value over that of bonafide Americans such as Grace.

KNBC notes that Lagunas, whose blood alcohol level had been three times the legal limit at the time of his arrest, is a twice-deported illegal immigrant who should have been deported again in 2015 but was instead illegally granted clemency by local authorities.

“Court records show that in 2015 he was arrested for another DUI. Immigration officials say that back then Buena Park police did not detain Lagunas for the required 48 hours for pickup by immigration officials, instead placing him on informal probation and releasing him to the streets,” the station reported.

Had local authorities turned Lagunas over to immigration officials in 2015, he would have been deported again. And while it’s true he may have eventually made it back into the United States, there’s a possibility he may not have, especially given the enhanced border security we’ve seen since President Donald Trump stepped into office.

This brings us back to Brown, who last October transformed California into a so-called “sanctuary state” by signing into law a bill “limit[ed] state and local cops’ ability to help federal agents enforce immigration laws.”

He did so to protect illegal immigrants who are otherwise crime-free (FYI, all illegal immigrants are criminals, period), but as noted by George Skelton of the Los Angeles Times, the problem is that the bill “also help[s] convicted criminals, who are here illegally, avoid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.”

Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens echoed this concern a month before Brown signed the bill, noting that it “does not allow for notification to federal authorities, at their request, of the pending release of certain wanted, undocumented criminals — including repeat drunken drivers, misdemeanor hit-and-run drivers and those who assault peace officers.”

In response, Angela Chan, the policy director and senior staff attorney of the bullshit Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus, said this:

“If they are merely arrested for the charges … and there is no conviction, they cannot be turned over to ICE. The reason is a shared value by Californians that everyone deserves due process.”

Except illegal immigrants like murderer Maximino Delgado Lagunas AREN’T AMERICANS, you piece of shit! They should therefore be arrested, shipped off to ICE and then deported, no matter how trivial the crime.

Why? Because THIS is what the hell happens when you fail to enforce the law:

Congratulations Jerry Brown, Angela Chan, Kamala Harris and every other radical leftist California politician or official who keeps pushing for more and more “rights” for illegals — ya’ll have blood on your hands!

A Cuban-American human rights group has documented dozens of Twitter accounts, allegedly belonging to young Cubans on the island, posting pro-communist propaganda and using photos of actors and models as their photos.

The Miami-based group, Directorio Democrático Cuba, says it has reason to believe the Cuban government is creating the spam accounts to make itself appear more popular among young Cubans than it really is. In stealing the identity of models and actors to make the pages more appealing, the accounts violate Twitter rules.

Since Directorio went public with its accusations, Twitter has suspended the accounts the group identified, though the Directorio team fears there are “hundreds” of such accounts that could easily resurface, especially if they are part of an organized state propaganda effort.

The accounts used a variety of stock model photos as well as those of Italian dancer Robert Bolle, French model Arnaud Francois, Colombian actress Paola Rey, American actress Hayden Panetierre, Canadian fitness model Amanda Lee, Greek singer Sakis Rouvas, and Argentine actor Pablo Heredia. In some instances, the profile photos appear to be lifted off of the defunct social media pages of private citizens.

The account @magela_ortega, for example — currently suspended — used a photo lifted from an idle MySpace account.

That profile’s description read much like many of the other accounts, a poetic declaration of Cuban patriotism: “I am young and simple, identified with justice and liberty. I like listening to music and admiring the landscapes of my beautiful Cuba. If you would like to meet me, follow me.”

In a screenshot provided by Directorio, the account can be seen sharing a photo of Fidel Castro with a quote attributed to the dictator reading, “Over the shoulders of the youth we can place great tasks.”

The account using the photo of Canadian fitness model Amanda Lee featured a photo of Fidel Castro as its header and identified itself as the account of “Isel Verdad.” Its description read: “I am a revolutionary Cuba, I like truth and hate injustice. Mixed Havanese.” It also posted images of Fidel Castro — in this one with Cuban founding father José Martí in the background, reading, “#Fidel, just as #Marti did, stood on the shoulders of his peers, observed the horizon and told us where to go, now all we need to do is keep going down that path.”

The profile using Rouvas’ photo — a two-time Eurovision contestant, former Eurovision program host, and the premier act in Greek popular music for the past two decades — identified itself as René Barrios García and promoted Cuba’s allegedly upcoming national election, in which the Castro regime has prohibited all opposition candidates from participating.

“Let the chips fall where they may, let whoever dies die, the Cuban Revolution will not disappear, that is why my vote is #ForCuba,” the account published.

“Cubanito Cubano,” one of the more active accounts in this community, used a stock photo that appears on Google images if one searches “haircut for oval face men.” This account promoted not just the Castro regime, but the socialist tyranny in Venezuela. Its profile read: “Never give up on your dreams. Just try to see the signs that lead you to them. I am #Venezuela #ChavezLives.”

The account also posted anti-American content. This post reads: “The Summit of the Peoples, called as a parallel event to the Summit of the Americas in April, is convened to confront the onslaught of the United States and the continental right who want to use the event for their own means.” Nicolás Maduro, the dictator of Venezuela, was dramatically disinvited from the Summit of the Americas for his government’s human rights abuses.

This account also boasted of its significant social media presence.

According to Directorio, the accounts were all engaging with each other — liking and retweeting each other’s content.

In remarks to the local ABC Affiliate WPLG 10, Directorio spokesman Orlando Gutiérrez stated he is “absolutely convinced the Castro regime is behind it, whether there are others helping them, it’s their strategy, it’s them leading it.”

“We have tracked dozens of accounts like this, but we believe there are hundreds,” he added.

The implications of the Cuban government potentially creating hundreds of bots to spread propaganda not only aiding itself, but the Venezuelan rogue regime for Twitter could be of major significance. Twitter, as well as Facebook and other large social media outlets, already face significant scrutiny over concerns that the Russian government used similar tactics to influence the 2016 presidential race.

In November, the outlet Politico reported that attorneys representing both media outlets confirmed that they have reason to believe “Russian-linked agents on their social networks following election day in November 2016 attempted to undermine President Trump’s victory” by “fomenting discord about the validity of [Trump’s] election.” The revelation conflicted with the ongoing claims by those on the left that the Russian agents were aiding Trump’s campaign, not hurting it.

Twitter has responded to the criticism by deleting millions of accounts, including a significant number of politically vocal accounts that belong to individuals unaffiliated with governments. The removal of such accounts has disproportionately affected right-wing voices, while multiple accounts belonging to left-wing groups that advocate violence remain active.

A Project Veritas investigation published in January revealed that Twitter engineers use right-wing code words like “Trump” or “America” to find alleged “bot” accounts and mass delete them. In the investigation, direct messaging engineer Pranay Singh lamented that there were “hundreds of thousands” of accounts using such terminology, “so you’ve got to, like, write algorithms that do it for you.”

Singh also described content that alerted him to a potential bot account: “Just go to a random [Trump] tweet and just look at the followers. They’ll all be like, guns, God, ‘Merica, and with the American flag and the cross. Like, who says that? Who talks like that? It’s for sure a bot.”

Prior to Directorio’s report on the pro-Castro accounts becoming public, the suspect pro-Castro accounts remained active. They appear to have been suspended between Thursday night and Friday afternoon.

In response to a Breitbart News inquiry on the account, a Twitter spokesperson said, “We have taken action on a number of accounts that violated our policies on spam and automation. As noted in our blog, since June 2017, we’ve removed more than 220,000 applications in violation of our rules, collectively responsible for more than 2.2 billion low-quality Tweets.”

Gutiérrez applauded the suspension of the pro-Castro accounts.

“We welcome Twitter’s strong initiative on totalitarian manipulation of social media,” he told Breitbart News. “The defense of the freedom of social media is essential to the sanctity of individual expression. With this corrective action against systematic manipulation of social media, Twitter has stepped up for the freedom of Cubans.”
