California Handgun Roster LEO Exemption Swaps Exclusive Privileges for Universal Rights


Because evidently the danger of “untested” guns that make them “unsafe” to be owned by the rest of us mundanes goes away when transferred to the capable hands of “trained professionals.”  How that is so, when a gun making the “safe” list has nothing to do with operator skill and everything to do with manufacturers paying a fee to the state, is left unsaid. But the bottom line is, police are the “Only Ones” exempted and mere “civilians” (yeah, I know, that’s why it’s in quotation marks) will have their lives destroyed if they get caught violating the “rules.” [More]
So the guy's against guns unless being for them for a favored group works to his political advantage...?  Yep, sounds like equal justice for all to me...

Zero Tolerance

As the Superintendent of the Edgewood City Schools, I assure you that any social media threat will be taken serious including those who “like” the post when it potentially endangers the health and safety of students or adversely affects the educational process.” [More]
Jeez, you'd think after seeing how bullying can have deadly consequences at his schools, Russ Fussnecker wouldn't be such a bully.

A Preexisting Condition

[More]
Speaking of preexisting conditions:
We look to this because it has always been widely understood that the Second Amendment , like the First and Fourth Amendment s, codified a pre-existing right. The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it “shall not be infringed.” As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U. S. 542, 553 (1876) , “[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed … .”

Too bad. He'd have been a good one. Certainly a lot better than the last.

Oath Keepers are one of the country's "radical anti-government groups ... based on a set of baseless conspiracy theories about the federal government working to destroy the liberties of Americans," according to the Law Center. [More]
Yeah, a group that centers its entire existence on the oath current and retired service members and police take to uphold and defend the Constitution is "anti-government."  The SPLC said it, Steve parrots it, that settles it.

After all, he's an apparatchik for The Adovcate, where good or bad doesn't matter.

Tangentially related:
According to the arrest report, Paul Richey, 30, of Denham Springs, was arrested for having a firearm in a firearm free zone, within 1,000 ft of two schools. Police say Richey was spotted walking on private property without permission and was carrying a concealed Glock semi-automatic pistol near protesters in the area.
I'll see if I can find out more about this. Aside from the BS 1,000-foot rule, how did anyone know he was carrying concealed and did the property owner complain?

Happy Ending?

The owner of the home returned fire and hit all three suspects inside the vehicle. Two of the suspects died from the gunshot wounds, officers said. [More]
Now we get to see if he's criminally charged and/or sued.

I won't be surprised to see some relatives claiming he didn't have to use such deadly force and the "victims" were just starting to turn their lives around.

In any case, this sounds like a story with a lot more to it than we're told here.

But of Course

The University of California, Berkeley essentially barred Ann Coulter from speaking on campus at the end of April; but just over a week later, an admitted Communist will be hosting an event on campus, who asserts it’s “right…to drive fascists off campus,” as the sponsor put it. [More]
And who but a hater would object?

And she said Annappareddy's defense team had been "ruthless" in exploiting every mistake by the prosecution. [More]
Aw, poor thing.

The mean old defendant wouldn't let you use unlimited government resources and engage in criminal misconduct to totally destroy him.

Not to worry, though, because "Harvard political scientist Stephen Ansolabehere, claimed instead that “the likely percent of non-citizen voters in recent US elections is 0.”

At least we know what a degree from FMU is worth.

Fake Law

Just as fake news spreads ideologically motivated misinformation with a newsy veneer, fake law brings us judicial posturing, virtue signaling, and opinionating masquerading as jurisprudence. [More]
Yes, but with the force of law.

Until these traitors feel personal repercussions for their criminal abuses, nothing will change.
