Kansas Jewish facility shootings show 'Never again' must be more than words

He also had good reason to suspect his target locations would offer slim resistance. A phone call placed by an ally working with the Kansas State Rifle Association to the Jewish Center went unanswered due to the Passover holiday, but a call to Village Shalom confirmed they are posted "No Guns." A follow-up visit this morning showed both facilities are posted. Even though such signs don't carry the force of law in the Sunflower State, except to pursue trespass charges if a person asked refuses to leave, they serve to establish both a notice to those with evil intent, as well as a cultural expectation among patrons and visitors, so that even people in parking lots who habitually frequent such facilities will likely not be armed.

Oh, and despite what the Every Day is Opposite Day "progressives" would like us to believe, there's some inconvenient documented information on a notorious political movement they'd rather we remained unaware of...

O Canada

Police remove a body from the scene of a multiple fatal stabbing in northwest Calgary. Five people died from their injuries. [More]

Because as the gun rights prevention control freaks love to remind us, knife attacks aren't deadly, or dangerous, or something like that... Hell, just ask Sharon Tate!

I get the "panic" part, but the only "moral" issue is on those who mandate human beings be defenseless.

The MILMs, of course, are delighted that no one was shot, and St. Michael just regrets he can't add this to his list of accomplishments as he FastPass+'s his way through the Pearly Gates...

Raid on brass processor attributed to lack of subservience to government

“USA Brass passed a subsequent inspection by OSHA,” Marbut wrote. “However, upon OSHA’s first visit, I’m told, USA Brass managers didn’t kneel quickly enough to OSHA inspectors and offended them by not being subserviently cooperative. So, the subsequent raid by EPA, FBI and others was conducted to teach them a lesson about federal power and proper cooperation.” [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes with some brassy federal egos, “Kneel before Zod!” appears to be more than just a movie trope.

A Flat Response

I've been asked why I don't write something in support of flat tax proposals.  Here's what I replied:

I try to stay within the basic confines of the gun issue even though so many other areas cry out--RKBA just seems the best place to apply my energies, plus I don't have a forum for essays outside of that. In re a flat tax, without forcing the govt back into proper Constitutional restraints, that won't stanch the spending and borrowing, it will simply change which pocket they get their plunder from, and I don't believe it would be possible politically to enact without carving out means-based exemptions to ensure Democrat dependency reigns supreme--and to continue bleeding the productive.  I would actually prefer the feds having to go to the states for funds based on apportionment, which would certainly cause some to challenge, withhold, sue, delay, rebel, and explore what they can do cheaper for themselves or do away with altogether--that along with returning appointments of senators to state legislatures to get rid of urban domination and give us a more direct and effective way of extracting revenge for bad confirmation votes would be two reforms I'd like to be able to wave my magic wand to enact.

That along with enforcing "shall not be infringed"...

Sorry, pal.  You still still don't get it, and it's a little late to trust that you'll ever learn.

This sick creature really does think that he is anointed and special in the eyes of God -- if there is one, besides him.  This megalomaniac is just that.

Welcome to Bloomberg's "Everytown USA":

What an unintended gift he has bestowed on us, with this glimpse into his twisted psyche.

Spoken Like a True "Progressive"

HA!

Good one, Rory!

Funny, how when I saw they were selectively ignoring things and asked how they would react if I ignored things I found unconstitutional, the Prozis sicced the cops on me -- and on my wife.

Which naturally prompted other Prozis to lie about what I'd actually asked, to justify that all powerful state they so worship.

This Day in History: April 16

I believe we have no spare arms; however, I will make more strict enquiry, and let you know. Arms are expected from the Northward, but they will be a long time on the road, if we are to judge of the future by the past. [More]
