We're the Only Ones Collegial Enough

The bullet that killed policeman Dexter Yarde came from the gun of a colleague, concluded ballistic expert Inspector John Annel.

Good thing it was the bullet that killed him and not his fellow "Only One"!

"Lock Down" the Best Schools Can Do

Schools were locked down in the western Oklahoma towns of Sweetwater and Reydon today after a maintenance man saw a man with a shotgun near a campus.

What's the worry? The kids all have books...

The overwhelming public denial of the only proven deterrent to school shootings is pathological. If an individual denied reality so strenuously, they would be diagnosed as delusional.

Killer Gun Makes Good It's Escape

Gun went off by accident as friends were drinking...

That's when the gun went off...
All by its own self. Nowhere does anyone imply the gun was fired by a human operator. And now:
The gun was not recovered.

When asked where the gun was, Rodriguez said he could not recall what happened to the handgun after the shot was fired, police said.
Obviously aware of the consequences of its deed, the murderous gun has decided to go into hiding and lay low for a while.

If this doesn't prove guns kill, I don't know what will...

A Reminder from the Past

Whose Paranoid saved the original video that began yesterday's saga...

"You will respect my authoritah!"

"No Effect"

HALF a billion dollars spent buying back hundreds of thousands of guns after the Port Arthur massacre had no effect on the homicide rate, says a study published in an influential British journal.
Government takes hard-earned property through force and fraud, and then squanders it on further harassment and oppression of its subjects.

Hopefully some day, more people will figure that out, and accord the tyrant wannabe seeking personal power to provide state "solutions" the same reception they would a rapist announcing his arrival and intent.

This Day in History: October 24

On this day in 1775, Virginia’s last royal governor, Lord John Murray Dunmore, orders a British naval fleet of six ships to sail up the James River and into Hampton Creek to attack Patriot troops and destroy the town of Norfolk, Virginia. British Captain Matthew Squire led the six ships into Hampton Creek and began bombarding the town with artillery and cannon fire, while a second contingent of British troops sailed ashore to begin engaging the Patriots.
