Baltimore riots highlight ‘progressive’ paradox on guns and police

High-profile shootings of black males continue to occur in cities where “progressive” Democrats run things. Yet in spite of that, they embrace “gun control,” that is, a system where police are the “only ones” trusted to keep and bear arms. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report asks what can be done when the "Only Ones" have no intention of protecting you, and notes an answer from a generation past.

We're the Only Ones Consistent Enough

"...the police subject these individuals to intrusive searches unless they can prove their innocence. Our case law considers such a policy consistent with the Fourth Amendment..." [More]

Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings

“If a ban on semi-automatic guns and large-capacity magazines reduces the perceived risk from a mass shooting, and makes the public feel safer as a result, that’s a substantial benefit.” [More]

American Association of Restrained Persons?

The original... curiously discouraging people from sharing...

With subtitling... (It sure sounds like they're on to something)...

Lotta chatter out there.

It's always important not to leap to illusions. And that this would be a selected forum for sending out subliminal messages makes no sense. That said, if there's any kind of official explanation that does make sense, I'm not finding it.
