In this episode of “‘Deary Diary,’ With Jim Acosta”…
Before we begin, I must admit I was a bit wistful as I began to write, longing for the good ol’ days when CNN’s TDS-riddled Jim Acosta got his ass handed to him by Donald Trump on a near-daily basis. The unflinching Acosta was always humiliated to the point that it became embarrassing for many people. Courage! ignorantly returned to do battle with Donald the next day — which always ended just as badly as the day before.
Anyway, as our story unfolds, Acosta tries to play AR-15 “gotcha” with NRA board member Phillip Journey, currently the Division 1 Judge of the 18th Judicial District Court. here’s how Jimbo framed it in his tweet:
ICYMI – I asked an NRA board Member why an 18-year old should be permitted to own an AR-15. He didn’t have any real answers.
We have now landed on Planet Acosta, RedStaters.

Conversely, here’s how “Trump4America” saw the exchange between Acosta and Judge Journey:
Jim Acosta is known for always trying to get the best out of everyone.
As usual, he appears stupid.
I’m gonna go with Trump4America on this one.

Here’s how the conversation went down, as transcribed from the above video(s), with Acosta trying to build his entire case on the forever “evil” AR-15 [aka: “assault weapon,” “weapon of war,” “scary-looking gun”]:
The AR-15, and other similar models are always in the forefront of people’s minds. Is it really necessary to have an AR-15?
Do not continue to tape. Stop the tape. Never understand it’s not about “need.” It never will be, but let’s continue.
The Journey of Judgement You know, it’s just a semi-automatic rifle, but if you want to be prejudiced about the way it looks … I was aware of what happened in the ’94 semi-automatic firearms ban … and there were rifles of similar function that just didn’ look as ‘ugly’ … they weren’t black guns, like a Ruger Mini-14. The Ruger Mini-14 was the right weapon, while an AR-15 wasn’t.
Acosta: I do want to ask you about ‘assault weapons,’ but on the AR-15, how is it that an 18-year-old can buy an AR-15-style rifle and have 1,600 rounds of ammo, like we saw in Uvalde?
Judge: Well, he did not have any prior convictions; he didn’t have any prior issue that would have kept him from purchasing one. It’s my understanding from the news that he purchased it through a firearms dealer. He passed a background check because he didn’t have any prior convictions.
Acosta:It’s a good idea, but is an AR-15 allowed in the 18-year-old age group? What’s he gonna do with it, go duck hunting? [Not smug, at all, Jimbo.]
Judge: I don’t know; should an 18-year-old have one in the Army?
After Acosta suggested the difference is that 18-year-olds have “military training” in the Army, while the Uvalde shooter presumably had none, Judge Journey got to the bottom line of the entire issue.
These issues can be far more complex than removing something from the public. [Acosta then tried to talk over the judge, smugly saying: ‘You can’t buy a beer’] These issues are far more complicated than easy answers.”
Acosta isn’t the Leftist Lone Ranger in dwelling on the age of the shooter, of course, but let’s remember that the shooter’s The age of the person was irrelevantHe could have been in that sense. All ages and the gun-grabber crowd wouldn’t have missed a gun-grabbing beat. Never.
Acosta was ripped to pieces by more than one Twitter user, as luck would have it. Here are some of the top:
A 2-year old can choose their gender and an 18-year-old may buy a gun.
I’m not generally a fan of playing the #whataboutism card, but Jimbo?
An 18-year-old can get a gun if a 2-year-old is able to decide his gender.

“Kimberly” schooled Acosta over his flawed “beer” analogy.
Because it’s an 18-year-old’s RIGHT as a LEGAL ADULT, protected by the 2nd Amendment. Drinking alcohol isn’t a right. You gun controllers NEVER focus on the REAL issues, like WHY he did it…
It is a great point. Motivation — not the mechanism.

So, at end of yet another misguided adventure, poor Jimbo no doubt took to his diary to commiserate with the only person he admires — himself. The song is the same as always on the left: the exploiting of horrible acts of violence, and the blame of firearms for the evil done by evil people.
In my opinion-piece titled “An Op-Ed on the Future of Journalism”, I suggest that you do. A Thought-Provoking Conversation With a Knowledgeable Owner of AR-15s and Other ‘Scary Guns’, the gun-grabbing left cannot create enough “common sense” [gimme a break]Gun laws are intended to prevent evil people from engaging in evil acts. Period, Regardless of the mechanism used to do so.
Evil doesn’t follow laws. It never will, Jim Acosta, including “evil” AR-15s.
