She Blinded Me with Science

How To Keep Your Child Safe From Gun Violence [More]

Make sure your home is like this. Not like this.

Oh wait...

What I don't get is, if Tara Haelle's offering "straight talk on science," why the Forbes opinion disclaimer?

And how do you think she'd fare against these guys?

That chant is just begging for the newest viral hashtag response.

As radical terrorist groups continue to wreak havoc around Afghanistan, a group of women are taking up arms against them. [More]

You know what they really need to be effective against the "patriarchy"? Pussy hats and loud mouths!

I'm reminded of a timeless assertion by Neal Knox:

About 650,000 firearms were destroyed in that amnesty, and gun crimes dropped rapidly. [More]

You don't say.

And the real effects were...?

If They Can Get You Asking the Wrong Questions....

Officials in Montgomery County, Ohio, blame America's opioid crisis for an ignoble title: the overdose capital of America. [More]

It took three "real reporters" to write that line of utter horse****?

I guess as long as the media runs interference for "officials" blaming effects instead of causes, real solutions can be ignored and the gravy/power train will keep on chugging.

Ain't that right, Mr. Pynchon?

That must be why nobody can find it.

If only they would disarm you and me.

We're the Only Ones Helpful Enough

Gust of Wind Traps Baby Inside Locked Car. Mom Calls 911 for Help. Mom Gets Ticketed by Police ... To add insult to non-injury, Lt. Tierney is also quoted as reminding people that in a situation like this one, "Don't be afraid to call 911 for help." [More]

And if she ignores their non-negotiable extortion, they'll dispatch an armed invasion team authorized to use an escalating continuum of force to either establish obedience via hostage-taking or to terminate the threat.

But don't be afraid. They're here to help.

Prelude to... What, Exactly?

Something is fishy about USS Fitzgerald story we are getting from the media [More]

This won't be the first time transparency has not been forthcoming and connections to something that will bite us in the future obscured.

We're the Only Ones Homicidal Enough

I talked about this briefly here, linking to my attempts to get some documented training for LEO/armed citizen encounters in my home state.

Here's the aftermath of the Castile killing, up close and personal:

We can apportion blame all we want about how maybe the victim could have not reached for his ID in that way, but the bottom line is, well, we all know the bottom line.

I won't be surprised if the killer sues for reinstatement and disability.

I will be surprised if Fairfax ever straps 'em on and says what needs to be said, but don't count on it.

We're the Only Ones Driven Enough

Officials: Off-Duty Officer Kills Self While Driving ... Officer Tom White touched the lives of thousands of young people in Hamilton Township through his work with the LEAD program, as Officer Friendly, and as the director of Safety Town. [More]

Involving others in an irrevocable lethal choice like that seems neither friendly nor safe. And yet again we see, while gungrabbers cite "suicide" as a reason for more citizen disarmament, those at higher risk (the #1 killer of LEOs is themselves) are the "Only Ones" they want armed.
