After logging into my ProtonMail account to send my latest to The Libertarian Enterprise, I noticed a bit of spam in my inbox there —

Let’s dissect the email address first — MicrosoftS.Office.365-NotificatiSons-Noreplys@server102.hostwhitelaabel.com
server102.hostwhitelaabel.com gives me nothing but an error message —
hostwhitelaabel.com also gives me an error message —
Back to the original message in my ProtonMail inbox —
The blue box marked “VERIFICATION NEEDED” links to https://tinyurl.com/y5st9lzr/, which in turn redirects to https://bitmex.global/css/proton/cmd-login=2d31d5c9d52dd9c521620c808d5558d4/0710dev14pfbr0fwwhw8x9dr.php?rand=13InboxLightaspxn.1774256418&fid.4.1252899642&fid=1&fav.1&rand.13InboxLight.aspxn.1774256418&fid.1252899642&fid.1&fav.1&email=&loginpage=&.rand=13InboxLight.aspx?n=1774256418&fid=4#n=1252899642&fid=1&fav=1, a lookalike of the Protonmail login page
Typing “gofuckyourself” into the username field and random text into the password field somehow led me back to my Protonmail account (or a lookalike of it), so I couldn’t click the big “X” in the upper right-hand corner of that particular tab fast enough.
Going to bitmex.global revealed only a black screen saying
THIS DOMAIN IS FOR SALE
josephgasparello@protonmail.com
Maybe “Joseph Gasparello” should seek honest employment, instead of trying to phish my Protonmail account?
But too late — just changed my password (2:57 AM)

Most people don’t realize that this could be a way to make some easy cash at the expense of the victim disarmers and hoplophobes.
Simply shop the plumbing sections of Home Depot or Lowes. A hundred bucks worth of pipe and end-caps can be made into 400-500 bucks worth of 12-gauge zip guns. I doubt that APD will be test-firing them before handing over the cash.

The event in question isn’t a “buyback” at all, unless the City of Albuquerque or Bernalillo County were at some point in the business of providing firearms to private citizens — the people didn’t get them from the City or County in the first place, so the event organizers are not buying any guns *back* from anyone.
This is nothing more than a publicly-funded turn-in-your-guns-now-for-a-pittance-so-we-don’t-have-to-red-flag-you-and-maybe-kill-you-later scheme.

Every gun should be a happy and wanted gun, adopted by loving owners who will care for it and feed it and make sure that there are plenty of other guns nearby to keep it company.

The electric “zero-emission” busses for Central aren’t yet ready for prime time (or any other kind of service), so you will just have to make do in the meantime.

So the criminals using these devices didn’t bother to submit an ATF Form 4, set of fingerprints, a photograph, or to pay the ∅200 transfer tax?
I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
- Posted to Facebook, Quora and Twitter —
Q: Where can I find information on firearms safety classes taught by Everytown for Gun Safety in my area?
A: I’m still waiting for them to start those classes, too.
Instead of using their billions to fund actual firearm safety classes and build shooting ranges where people can practice the skills that they learn in those classes, Bloomberg and Soros spend their time and fortune trying to render the pre-existing individual, civil, human right to own and carry weapons as null and void as they can, wherever they can, however they can.
Instead, it’s the perennial boogeyman of the victim disarmers and hoplophobes — the National Rifle Association of America — that’s behind a lot of the actual firearms safety and proficiency training that goes on in America.

From the article —
“Progressive ‘social democracy’ has kept Europe, Canada, and the developed nations of the East and South Pacific free of war for almost a century — a mind-boggling feat when considering the history of the developed world since the 1500s.”
Aside from that bit between 1939 and 1945 called “World War II.”
I had read in another thread that Salon is in danger of going bankrupt, and is up for auction (I would bid 1 x mil ($0.001)).
Could their impending bankruptcy be related to this sort of writing that they feature?

So why exactly has Operation Chokepoint not been shut down? Trump has been in the White House for two years plus at this point, and he campaigned in 2016 on the theme of “no more attacks on the Second Amendment.”

Copy that — I’m not a Trump fan, either, but nor am I a Trump hater.

That’s part of politics. The chances of any politician being even 90 % worth voting for are rather remote, so I’m rather selective these days about who receives my votes.
I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, I put on the HAZMAT suit and filled in the little circle next to Johnsonism-Weldism “for the good of the Party.” Fat lot of good that did me — first time in 20 years that I’ve thought voting for the LP candidate was a waste.
With that in mind, Trump is doing a wonderful job of pissing off the deep-state types (Victor Milán referred to them as the “permanent government.) and a good bit of the identity politics people.
