Notes from the Resistance...
Among those who signed the letter: Alec Baldwin, Amy Schumer, Gabrielle Union, Rosie O’Donnell, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Essence Atkins, Uzo Aduba, Christina Applegate, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, Atlanta native David Cross, Don Cheadle, Mia Farrow, Colin Hanks, Bradley Whitford and Amber Tamblyn. [More]Oh no! The has-beens and B-listers are flexing for publicity!
Flood had previously said that Martinez Torres has an IQ of 68 or less and is probably intellectually disabled from exposure to neurotoxins from a mine near his childhood home in El Salvador. He also has a brain defect. [More]The guy's first name is "Darwin"? It figures Opposite Day "progressive" policies meant someone else died from his behavior. And I'm sure someone can explain how it helped "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" letting this feral moron into this country.
Steinle parents can’t sue SF for refusal to tell immigrant officials of shooter’s release ... San Francisco and its then-sheriff, Ross Mirkarimi, acted within their policy-making authority by deciding they would not advise immigration officials of an undocumented immigrant’s impending release from jail or keep the immigrant in custody for transfer to federal agents, said the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. [More]Of course they, can't, damn xenophobes!
Poland Bashes Immigrants, but Quietly Takes Christian Ones [More]So?
Pfaff poses the question, “How many studies show that severe sanctions are an effective way to deter crime?” [More]Dare him to enter a tiger's cage and if he declines, ask him how many studies he needs to show bars are an effective way to deter being eaten.
Chandler, Arizona, cops broke through the door of a family's home in the middle of the night, stormed in, pointed their guns, handcuffed the father, and watched as the state's Department of Child Safety (DCS) took custody of the parents' three kids—all because mom had decided her toddler's fever was not serious enough to merit a trip to the hospital. [More]The "cure" is literally worse than the disease.
The ATF’s approach means that each industry member that asks a question about how to apply or interpret the rules gets its own private answer, an answer that none of its competitors knows about and which does not serve as a legal precedent. It means that no one in the industry has any certainty, not even the firm that asked the question in the first place, because the ATF can always change a decision it made in a private “no-action” letter later on. And it means that the ATF has almost complete discretion in how it regulates, because it is creating no precedents. [More]Some of us have asked about that. But we're just a small cadre in a tangled web.
Move On From Robert Mueller, Mr. President - Obsessing over the investigation’s origins isn’t the way to win over swing voters. [More]Why? You afraid pulling threads may unravel how Swampublicans colluded with Democrats?
At one point, the 14-year-old boy loaded a bullet into one of the guns. He would later tell detectives that “he was curious about how the gun worked,” police said. "Later, while handling that firearm, it discharged,” police said. “A round struck the 15-year-old victim, killing him.” [More]Curious-- that never seems to happen with these kids.
Authorities who searched his hotel room found more than a dozen weapons with bump stocks attached. [More]I view that buried sentence as potentially the most important one in the whole story. Note while most of the media and even some ATF flacks are parroting presumptions, The Washington Post is being careful not to say they were used in the killings.
Roberts denied one appeal earlier this week; Sotomayor referred hers to the full court, which denied it on Thursday, allowing the ban to proceed while challenges to it move through the courts.
The new bill, for example, allows any blood relative – even if they have never had any contact with the individual in question; or other family members; or someone who had even a singular sexual occasion; or someone who is a law enforcement officer or even a law enforcement agency to file the petition for the “extreme risk protection order”. [More]But...but...but if we don't pass it, what about the One Night Stand No Flowers and He Never Calls Loophole?
The bow-down ad states the Bushmaster is "the only rifle you need to master the infinite number of extreme scenarios you'll face in the worlds of law enforcement and personal defense." [More]So the antis are against that, too?
Russia Invents Flying, Shooting Kalashnikov Rifle Drone [More]Good ol' Russian know-how.
Former Upstate police chief on probation for Simpsonville bank robbery now charged in bank robbery on SC coast [More]I guess nobody listened to his first cry.

Florida Carry Sues Miami Beach over Police Action against 'Legally Armed' Fishermen [More]Badge-heavy, quick-on-the-draw and ignorant-of-the-law enforcers making lethal threats against citizens exercising their rights are not just a problem in Florida.
The gun rights community needs you to be there to ask reasonable questions, those that will not get asked if only the anti-gun crowd is in attendance. [More]Who will make needed points to the public if not you?
