Ohio’s leftist Senator supports this shit-the LGBT population is less than 1.5% of the U.S. population-I don’t know about anyone else-but I’m so sick of hearing about this bullshit,I want to puke.

Here’s Sherrod Brown’s e-mail on the subject….you may need a barf bag and eye bleach after reading it…

Each June we celebrate LGBT Pride month — an opportunity for us to honor the bravery and persistent work of activists, advocates, and allies in ensuring equality for all. While the United States has made great strides in equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals, there is still more work to be done to ensure that all Americans enjoy the same civil rights.

Ohio is home to many courageous men and women — one, in particular, who has taken his struggle for justice for his marriage all the way to the Supreme Court. In the process, he has become a unifying symbol in the fight for LGBT equality and justice. Cincinnati’s Jim Obergefell married his husband, John Arthur, in Maryland after a 20-year relationship. Shortly after, Arthur passed away from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Because the couple lived in Ohio, a state that does not recognize same sex marriage, Jim is fighting to be listed as the surviving spouse on Arthur’s death certificate. This spring, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in his case, Obergefell v. Hodges, which may determine whether or not it is constitutional for a state to refuse to recognize same sex marriage licenses issued in another state.

Jim’s courageous fight and love for his husband remind us that all Americans deserve full civil rights under the law, regardless of whom they love or where they live.

As the struggle for equality and inclusion continues, Sen. Brown will continue to work to make sure that LGBT Americans’ equal rights are recognized and protected.

The level of stupidity from elected gov’t officials is astounding-who voted for these idiots?

Just think how hard some of us worked for the tax $$$ that’s been pissed away since 9/11/01-and nothing’s changed.
Likely due to to many chiefs and not enough Indians-lifelong .gov inc. employees are no longer capable of rational thought.

It was only a matter of time before government technology caught up with Hollywood’s version of identifying suspects’ tattoos based on computer algorithms.

Law enforcement officials are working with computer scientists to develop tools to analyze tattoos through image recognition software. The National Institute for Standards and Technology hosted a tattoo recognition technology challenge workshop earlier this week asking scientists and engineers to come up with better ways to automate tattoo recognition to identify criminals and victims in a faster, more comprehensive way.

On Wednesday, June 10, 2015, Chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources Rob Bishop (R-UT) introduced H.R. 2710, the “Lawful Purpose and Self Defense Act of 2015.”  This bill would remove BATFE’s authority to interpret or reinterpret the “sporting purposes” clauses in federal law, which only serve to undermine the core purpose of the Second Amendment. Under Chairman Bishop’s legislation, all lawful purposes – including self-defense – would have to be given due consideration and respect in the administration of federal law.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the core purpose of the Second Amendment is self-defense. Nevertheless, many federal laws that regulate the importation, possession and transfer of firearms measure the lawful utility of firearms based on their usefulness for so-called “sporting purposes.”

The term “sporting purposes” is undefined by federal statute and has been subject to several reinterpretations by the BATFE and its predecessor agency.  BATFE and anti-gun administrations have exploited the lack of a clear definition of “sporting purposes” to bypass Congress and impose gun control through executive fiat. The most recent (and perhaps most infamous) example of this was the Obama administration’s attempt to ban a highly popular form of ammunition for the AR-15, America’s most popular rifle.

H.R. 2710 would put a stop to this for good and accomplish the following essential reforms to federal firearms laws:

Eliminate ATF’s authority to reclassify popular rifle ammunition as “armor piercing ammunition.” The federal law governing armor piercing ammunition was passed by Congress to target handgun projectiles, but BATFE has used the law to ban common and popular rifle ammunition, as it recently attempted with M855/SS109 5.56×45 ammunition.

Provide for the lawful importation of any non-NFA firearm or ammunition that may otherwise be lawfully possessed and sold within the United States. BATFE has used the current discretionary “sporting purposes” standard to deny the importation of firearms that would be perfectly legal to manufacture, sell, and possess in the United States.

Protect shotguns, shotgun shells, and certain rifles from arbitrary classification as “destructive devices.” Classification as a destructive device subjects a firearm to the registration and taxation provisions of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and creates a ban on possession of such firearms in some states.

Broaden the temporary interstate transfer provision to allow temporary transfers for all lawful purposes rather than just for “sporting purposes.”
