Immediate Thoughts on the Annapolis Shooting

Gleaned from this:

• Don't they still sell shotguns at Dick's? What now, "sporting purpose" Fudds?
• Maryland is a "may issue" (e.g., may not) state.
• Reporters hiding under desks and hearing the misfit reloading without emerging to take him down (as some antis have suggested in other stories) kind of takes away their argument for insufficient capacity magazines.
• A personal grudge against the paper takes away the argument that Trump is ginning up hate against reporters.
• Let's hope the guy in the other office who kept two handguns in his desk drawer doesn't get in trouble with "the law." He was the only man on scene who did not "feel helpless."
• Now that it's touched them directly, expect the media to be even more shrill in its demands for disarming you.

Treason

In legislation led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the Democrats are demanding that all immigration and border enforcement be ended across the U.S., allowing the 12 to 30 million illegal aliens living in the country and all future illegal aliens to be free to travel back and forth across the hemisphere without enforcement or protections for Americans. Every Democrat in the Senate signed onto Feinstein’s open borders legislation. [More]

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Right, Fairfax, SAF, state groups and fellow "gunbloggers"?

We're the Only Ones Terrorizing Enough

On August 29, 2013, while executing a search warrant in her grand parents’ home, an officer pointed and held a loaded gun – point blank – to the chest of 3-year-old Davianna Simmons. Davianna watched another officer hold a gun to her grandmother’s head and saw a third officer repeatedly shake, strike and push her handcuffed mother into a wall. Then, while officers were searching the home, she saw and heard an officer damaging and destroying her dolls, other toys and bedroom furniture. [More]

The important thing is they got home safely at the end of their shift.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

If You Need It Before Then, Tough

Ohio delays 'Stand Your Ground' law that would expand gun rights for residents ... It’s a law, very similar to that in Florida George Zimmerman cited during the Travyon Martin case. [More]

But he didn't cite it. And the curious thing, ABC affiliate WEWS, is that your network reported on that.

Funny how News 5’s Political Analyst Tom Sutton doesn't seem to grok who has the burden of proof.

Curious: A reporter, two anchors, a director, a producer, assorted news staff and a legal "expert" and no one seems to know the basics on a story they're presenting under the guise that they're authorities the public can trust to bring it to 'em straight.  All they need do is cite the Zimmerman name and they automatically plant in a significant portion of their audience the notion that the proposed law is hateful, harmful and something to oppose.

In Its Simplest Form

“Let me put it to you in its simplest form. I’ve been on this earth for 30 years, and there’s been so many things a Caucasian person said I couldn’t do ... Get good credit. Buy a house in an urban city,” he adds. “So many things—’you can’t do that’—whether it’s from afar or close up.” [More]

Really?

What conduct of yours led "a Caucasian person" to say that -- assuming one really did?

Such talk is still on the fringes, but it'll get louder and more pervasive.

Leftist misfits scaring "normals" is fine with me. Doing it before the midterms will be even better.

New York, New York, It's a Wonderful Town

Police say the 37-year-old man was walking at the location when he was approached by two unidentified men. One of them then punched the victim in the head, causing him to fall to the ground in the middle of the intersection. The thugs then walked away. While the victim remained on the ground, unconscious, other people came up to him and began to go through his pockets, removing his phone and ID. [More]

There's a lesson about collective character in here somewhere...

Dead in the Water

For whatever reason, my Facebook pages are coming up with missing elements that won't let me post. Since that's the primary way I have to publicize new article links outside of this blog, I'm hamstrung until such time as this resolves itself.

That's OK, I can always count on you, right?

Life in Arkham Asylum

It is the 'Batman syndrome': the hero refuses to kill, he systematically saves his enemy who escapes and kills new victims until the hero catches up with him, and so on." [More]

A Swatting Incident

Maxine Waters did not like the questioning and swatted at Laura. [More]

I have mixed feelings about filing a police report.

On the one hand, it seems kind of much, and the impulse control revelation exclusive should be reward enough. On the other hand, VLLA SELLA 'n all that, and I have no doubt a reverse situation would be loudly and furiously exploited.

Conspicuously Absent

Hundreds line up for vaccines after possible hepatitis A exposure at Charlotte Hardee's [More]

Anybody see any mention of a likely source for the outbreak? Anywhere?

Seeing as how this involves vital public health information, would we be wrong to suspect some would rather that not be part of  the discussion?

Life in the 'Progressive' Zone

A Bond Hill mother was shot while driving when she and her children were caught in the middle of a downtown Cincinnati shootout. And she broadcast the aftermath in a Facebook Live video. [More]

Don't worry-- your intrepid Democrat city leadership is hard at work making sure you can't own a bump stock.

I do have a question though: With "free" K-12 "education" in this country and with school administrations and  teachers' unions run by "progressive" thinkers, how is it possible that a citizen can emerge from that system and say something like "My babies is OK"?

Oh.

Maybe that's because they get less money? No?

Maybe Mr. Adams can help explain things, because frankly, Yul is stumped.

Where It's Needed Most

In those states where they are most at risk, such as New York and New Jersey, for example, it lacks critically important provisions to ensure their protection.  [More]

We're the Fauxnly Ones Unmaneuverable Enough

Horton said impersonating a police officer is illegal and extremely dangerous. He said officers are trained in how to safely maneuver through traffic. [More]

The One that Got Away

No-show witness triggers dismissal of double-murder retrial in St. Louis [More]

Any bets this guy's name will resurface in the papers before too long? Maybe the bet should be how soon.

If nothing else, this illustrates the importance of making sure the "law-abiding" are disarmed if we really want to make an impact on violent crime in St. Louis.

We're the Only Ones Retooled Enough

Wichita won't be pulling its police officers out of Wichita high schools, but plans to retool the program to make it less about security and more about mentoring and counseling, the city manager said Tuesday. [More]

Well someone's gotta teach 'em how to hide...

Learning by Example

The Washington Post has dismissed a reporter for inadequately attributing material and closely parroting sentences from other publications in articles based on outside news sources. The reporter, Marwa Eltagouri, 26, was let go last week before completing the newsroom's mandatory nine-month probationary period for new employees. [More]

Wait a sec -- I thought they handed out prizes for that...?

Give it a few years and those disturbed by this kind of perverted filth will be smeared as intolerant haters.

So-Called ‘Smart Gun’ SAFETY Act Contradicts Its Name on All Counts

So naturally, the Gungrabby Gabby group is solidly behind it. They welcome all potential incremental infringements on the way to the goal of citizen disarmament, because that’s been the game plan that works. And Himes is a politician that knows his infringements, demanding no end to them, including ending private sales, imposing prior restraints, ignoring due process and banning standard-capacity magazines. [More]

Good thing this won't go anywhere -- today. Give Democrats and Republican sellouts a few years to culturally terraform the Republic and assess the chances then.
