As the Chardon community heals, our ongoing priority is to provide the appropriate resources for our students, staff and families to deal with this horrific tragedy. [More]
As opposed to dissuading horrific tragedies...

We're the Only Ones Targeting Enough

Not that I expect the "Authorized Journalists" to have an epiphany about "Only Ones" or anything...

The Tranquility Paradox

Kurihara and Tsukada suggested the speech-jamming gun could be used to hush noisy speakers in public libraries or to silence people in group discussions who interrupt other people's speeches. [More]

"A Double-Barrelled Victory"

"It's a good day, there's no question about that," said Kevin Starrett, executive director of the Oregon Firearms Federation. "In some respects, this vote is important because it may affect people wanting to come back and do it again. But I don't see the issue going away." [More]
Here's Kevin's postmortem.
