A True Assault Weapon
...officials are working to determine if the rock was intentionally thrown... [More]A corollary would be anyone who can't be trusted with a chunk of concrete can't be trusted with oxygen.

We're the Only Ones Interpretive Enough
What that means, though, has varying interpretations. And whether you get arrested on the charge could depend on which police agency stops you. [More]I guess ignorance of the law is no excuse. If they don't know it, how the hell are we supposed to?
And they can employ the full continuum of force up to and including killing us to make their interpretation prevail?

And Now for a Brief Interlude
SAF FILES AMICUS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF 9TH CIRCUIT GUN RIGHTS RULING [More]And the usual suspects filed against...
The Man Who Would Be God
I’ve listened to the people at 40 town halls across America in the past year, and it’s become clear to me that we need a new set of 5 RIGHTS — 5 essential protections that can never be taken away by any politician...1. The Right to an Equal Vote2. The Right to Clean Air & Clean Water3. The Right to Learn4. The Right to a Living Wage5. The Right to Health [More]So rights are bestowed by benevolent despots? He can just do this by edict, because "democracy"? And you have a right to compulsory services from others?
Isn't there an Opposite Day "progressive" slogan for that?

Just the Facts
Why do I find working for the Chicago Housing Authority every bit -- if not more significant -- than his having a concealed carry permit? [More]
Ditto on Play Misti for Me not exactly fitting the "right wing extremist gun nut" profile, although "Milwaukee Don" says more facts are yet to emerge.
Not that it will stop the "Concealed Carry Killers" crowd from pointing to these anomalies as examples of why you can't be trusted...

It's Easier than Addressing Reality
First Month Of Red Flag Law Draws 114 Requests For Removing Guns [More]And we've already chalked up a headline-making success story!
I wonder how many partners of the guys responsible for this dare file complaints.
Gotta keep those streets safe!

Slide into Madness
"Even though it was closed, the plaintiffs were easily able to move the unsecured gate at the entrance to the Pipeline Slide and climb the stairs to the top of the slide," claims the lawsuit. "Without any employees present to instruct them, the plaintiffs were not aware that they needed to have the slide sprayed with water, nor did they know that they needed a burlap sack to safely go down the side." [More]So they deserve what, aside from injuries sustained?

On the plus side, have I got a lawyer for them.

With Republicans Like These
Speaking Thursday at the National Immigration Forum event "Leading the Way: An American Approach to Immigration," Lankford said lawmakers can find things to agree on, like granting citizenship to those brought into the U.S. illegally as children ... But for those who have been here legally present for 20, 25 years, those folks should have access to be naturalized and to be a part of our culture and be able to be here"... [More]I don't agree.
What won't these appeasers sell us out on?

On the Plus Side, It Looks Like They Won't Burn Him for Heresy
Even Astronauts Fear the Left [More]
Scott Kelly is the left. Because he can still be useful, they'll conditionally absolve him after sufficient public penance.
The fact remains: Without Churchill, the war would have taken a very different course. That worthless beneficiaries have squandered a legacy bequeathed them through unimaginable sacrifice and now attack his statue is par for the cultural Marxist course.
As is Scott's forced recantation.
It really is a religion, and a jealous "god" at that.

We're the Only Ones Not Watching Your Six Enough
A wrongful death lawsuit filed Monday by the family of a teenager who was killed in a wreck on Interstate 435 says an off-duty Kansas City police officer was speeding when the police van he was driving slammed into the rear of their car. [More]Time for some SOP/CYA records retention...

Opposite Day 'Progressive' Grassroots in Action
92% of the contributions in support of this initiative came from just 10 donors. Steven and Connie Ballmer donated $1 million. Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control group founded and funded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $250,000. Lenore Hanauer donated $100,000. Sibyl Frankenburg donated $100,000. Steven Kessel donated $100,000. Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, an election arm of Bloomberg's gun control group, donated $59,500. 78% of contributions to this initiative came from just three families (Paul Allen, Nicolas and Leslie Hanauer and Steven and Connie Ballmer). [More]Don't you just love all the usefully idiotic railing against "The One Percent"?

'Democracy' in Action
The LA Times reports that the accused would lure the homeless to forge signatures for ballot measures in exchange for cigarettes or a few dollars... [More]Why would they need to in L.A.?

As long as I'm on the subject, I never said we lived in "a democracy." I have to be able to use the word if I'm going to point out some of the pitfalls. The parting "civics lesson" reminds me of this exchange for some reason:
Why Not Just Put in in a Basket and Leave it in the Bulrushes?
When Clinton’s director of strategic communications informed Javits Center attendees that Clinton would not be speaking, Tamblyn came to a grim conclusion: “A dark realization swallowed me: I was going to bring a baby into this world. And not just any baby: a girl.” Tamblyn recalled imagining if she should give her baby away to Canadians or Swedes. [More]No doubt the child would be better off as far away from this head case and her kind as possible.
Can we glean anything about inner cognitive dissonance by noticing she instinctively picked predominantly (as yet) white countries?
Let Us Not Eat Lettuce
CDC is advising that U.S. consumers not eat any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants not serve or sell any, until we learn more about the outbreak. [More]So it would be cheaper to pay the extra nickel a head?
Not to worry, you won't have this problem with the H-1Bs, and I expect we'll see more of those while the obsolete unskilled overwhelm the infrastructure, complain about the pig food, and most of all, vote Democrat.
