Gun Control in Action
Jordan said Mixon had an "extensive criminal history" and was wanted on a no-bail warrant.So wasn't it illegal for him to have guns? And carry them? And have an "assault weapon"? And kill?
"(Mixon) was on parole and he had a warrant out for his arrest for violating that parole. And he was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon," said Oakland police Deputy Chief Jeffery Israel.[More]
Looks like it's time to disarm you and me some more.
But here's the real thing to keep our eye on:
About 20 bystanders taunted police.There is an undercurrent of seething hatred. It's a powder keg out there. The citizen militia may yet need to discover itself when things explode.
Howard Nemerov has more.

The Definitive Fudd
Just unload them and lock them up. [More]No one is saying locks and safes don't have a place in overall options. But to recommend locking up your safety under all conditions is foolish and dangerous. It can enable terrible unintended consequences like pitchfork murders and dead grandmothers.

We're the Only Ones Scaring You So Bad You Wet Yourself Enough
Shopkeepers say plainclothes cops barged in, looted stores & stole cash [More]Big, brave men, protecting us all from tiny Zip-Lock bags.
What's the difference between Philadelphia "Only Ones" and sadistic, violent street thugs again?
It does kind of explain why they want "home rule" to override state firearms preemption, doesn't it?

Reflecting Poorly
The judge made a great ruling. Guns should be restricted when ever and where ever possible.This is a comment to yesterday's Gun Rights Examiner post from the "Portland Enureti...uh...Progressive Examiner." Talk about a poor reflection. Hey, I don't get to choose who they let say what.
Bringing a concealed gun into a national park is simply ridiculous. I do not want some trigger happy yahoo packing a gun into a park where me and my family might be spending time.
The fact that commentators on this site are all for breaking the law reflects poorly on the gun rights movement, and only confirms the suspicion that restrictions on gun ownership is a positive for society. [More]
I thought you might want a chance to get your two cents in. I see Straightarrow has gone straight to the heart of the matter, as per his usual inimitable style...:)
