@EffinLeftMama @RCatron11@gr3ggr1ff1n@DLoesch Person to person commerce concerning firearms cannot be enforced without a registry. A big constitutional no no.
Hey @glangley — I was the head of design for connected devices at Axon when we did the deal with @Flock_Safety.
What you may not know is that our CEO, Rick Smith had met with Vigilant, the ALPR leader at the time.
During the demo, their team pulled up a random Axon employee’s car from the parking lot and showed the Axon leadership everywhere that car had been.
I wasn’t in the meeting, but I’m told Rick immediately kicked them out of the Scottsdale office.
You can make a good case for officers (hell, even politicians) wearing body cams because it empowers citizens to watch the watchers.
Flock offers no such benefit.
You’ll likely justify the surveillance state you’re helping create with platitudes of a “safer society”.
But America wasn’t founded to be safe.
America was founded to be FREE.
Flock is much more compatible with totalitarian countries like China or the UK, and I wish you great success there.
As Benjamin Franklin famously summarized America’s ethos of rugged individualism:
"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Now kindly get the flock out of America.
@BethanyBow90933@Pmoneylicious@Adukeadexoxo Yeah, because Cowboys all know that Indians were just running through the forest playing with Bambi minding their own business and taking care of mother earth.
Consider these words from 1920, written by French author Hilaire Belloc:
“The modern world imagines that it has outgrown religion. It has done nothing of the kind. It has merely forgotten it. And because it has forgotten it, it no longer understands itself. Men do not realize that the whole framework of their moral judgments, their political habits, and even their intellectual methods were formed within a Christian society and cannot exist long outside it. When that framework breaks, they will not find themselves enlightened, but bewildered; not free, but enslaved; not rational, but confused.”
It just baffles me that Americans sit back and do nothing.
Mitch McConnell is braindead and still a Senator.
Tim Walz allowed massive fraud and illegal immigration and he's still the Governor.
Gavin Newsom committed fraud and allowed massive illegal immigration and he's still the Governor.
We've literally watched Treason happen in real time and not a damn thing gets done about it.
Nobody's coming to save us!
When will enough be enough?
In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
The post criticizes NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for restricting the July 3, 2026 America 250 Times Square ball drop to a limited ticketed event inside One Times Square, making it non-public and broadcast-only.
Mamdani issued an emergency order blocking permits for certain new large-scale gatherings June 11–July 19, 2026, to prioritize NYPD resources for the FIFA World Cup, with the ball drop affected as it required significant policing.
The post contrasts this with NYC's history of allowing street closures for large Muslim prayer gatherings such as Taraweeh during Ramadan in Times Square and open streets for mosques, framing it as inconsistent prioritization.
@DarrigoMelanie Yes, she got a seat row to all herself in a bus that was standing room only full of white supremacists, apparently, was perfectly safe throughout her ride.
This picture is powerful, but not for the reason you think it is.
