We're the Only Ones Armed Enough



And legged.

I want to know who this is. And I want him to be identified by this for the rest of his days.

Imagine How Much of a Deterrent It Would Have Been if They'd Only Had This Report Before the Attack

Some employers and employees believe that the availability of armed defense would limit such attacks. Notwithstanding this difference of opinion, it is a known correlation that most of the mass casualties in the workplace are caused by firearms. [More -pp 145-6]
"By"? All by their own self?

No confirmation bias there.

And it's not a "difference of opinion." If bearing arms did not enhance the chances of prevailing in violent confrontations, why would enforcers do so? 

Then again, admitting the obvious wouldn't result in continuing consulting fees. Speaking of which, I wonder how much tax plunder the city paid to come up with this slick brochure and its accompanying "executive summary"...

If nothing else is at hand, maybe it could be folded...

Republicans have been losing elections because they long ago stopped caring about results that help the lives of real Virginians.  [More]
Not a word about why they're really losing...

The Bride Wore Black

Court: ISIS Bride Not A US Citizen [More]
I'd say "Too bad" if I thought there was a chance of trying and executing her for treason. Hell, when she does win on appeal, she'll probably settle in an occupied zone and be elected to Congress.

And before anybody jumps on the "Let's hear it for Reggie Walton" bandwagon...

And Thank You for Your Service

This is what California tax cows are apparently paying the widow of... [More]

...this guy.

Nice trough if you can get your snout in it.

Imagine the power of the free market, that it has sustained all the insane coerced burdens and not collapsed -- yet.

The enemy is working on that.

Mystery to Me

Police said Manley told officers he was friends with Abron and was teaching him about guns ... it somehow discharged ... he didn’t know how the gun discharge [sic] or what he did to make it fire ... he thought Abron had unloaded the gun before he picked it up... [More]
After this is all said and done he ought to take it to the buyback.

We're the Only Ones Withdrawing Enough

A former Lee’s Summit police officer has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison without parole for robbing a bank. [More]
And now he can probably look forward to others making deposits.

A Truly Opposite Day 'Progressive' Idea

“Agree to offer a ‘Same Race’ option for roommate selection on the housing application for all students.” [More]
Can we do that for water coolers, lunch counters, real estate sales, employment offers, bus seats...?

Racist Nazi fascists sure like to scream that at others.

Knowing and Doing are Two Different Things

Political rights, however, are what immoral politicians have empowered themselves to grant, and “rescind,” depending on whom the rights benefit.  [More]
Not that most are moved to even minimal action when seeing that play out...

Coming Soon, to a Caliphate Near You

In any case, in 1970 there were one hundred thousand Muslims in America; today there are nearly four million. [More]
And  per a 2018 report in The Washington Post:
By last year, just 8 percent of voting American Muslims in a Pew poll said they voted for Trump, while 78 percent said they voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue." Besides, if we brought it up, they'd accuse us of being racists, which is evidently much worse than the alternative, at least according to our deliberately indifferent "gun rights leaders."

Pound Should Put Down Vicious Dawg

Garrett could be facing an unprecedented league suspension for his violent outburst Thursday night, when he ripped off Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet and clubbed him on the head during the final seconds of Cleveland’s 21-7 win. [More]
Seems to me if you or I did that, we'd be facing an assault with a deadly weapon charge. 

Thank goodness for clear bags, just in case we lose control!

Then again, we're not entitled kneelers.

Contra Costa ‘Buyback’ Putting Citizens Ignorant of True ‘Gun Safety’ at Risk

They’re telling people of unknown experience to handle and transport firearms. [More]
Just take the "clip" out, right?

Abarcadabra!

"At the end of the day, it was guns that caused the issue, right? The bullets that had people in buildings and property, that’s the issue in the state of Missouri," Abarca said. [More]
That's what we call "magical thinking."

Y'ever notice how people who have probably never been in a war zone always say "it sounded like a war zone"?

Ben & Jerry's Newest Flavor? Yes We Cancer!

According to that lawsuit, traces of herbicide has been found in some of the ice cream company’s products, and some of the farms that supply ingredients to the company also allegedly pollute nearby lakes. [More]
So that's in addition to the dioxins they've known about for 20 years?

Between them and Shannon, the environmentalcases sure could up their game.

I wonder if BJ ever sated the proletariat?
