That’s because it’s really not about guns and never has been. It’s about people who don’t follow the rules preying on those who do, and about government edicts aiding and abetting the predators by imposing ever more infringements on citizens inclined to obey. [More]

Philadelphia’s Emphasis on ‘Gun Laws’ Guarantees Violence Will Continue
It's Almost Like They Don't Have a Clue or Something
After deadly year, Kansas City leaders focused on slowing violent crime in 2022 [More]
So "Operation Legend" didn't work...?
Or the "No Violence Alliance" the year before that...?
There's gotta be a catchy name they can come up with to make a difference with what they throw tax dollars at this time...

The Green Light
U.S. prosecutors decided to end their criminal case against two Manhattan jail guards who admitted to falsifying records on the night the financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself on their watch. [More]
I think the new guards got the message because they've already locked up a block of squares...

Because Everything's Better with Government!
“I am as angry as I possibly can be about this,” the doctor said. “I don’t know how many people throughout the country are dead, dying, in the hospital, or about to be hospitalized because of the mistakes that they just made... It’s just the height of bureaucratic arrogance, and it’s just, it’s horrible. I had to turn friends away, family, people call me, ‘Oh, my uncle has cancer. Can he get an infusion?’ I’m like, ‘I cannot give you an infusion because I will lose my medical license,'” Elfenbein said. [More]
Maybe we should treat CDC like cigarettes. You know, dirty, deadly and banned...?
To be a "progressive" means you demand more government and want to destroy anyone who wants less.

And if the victims could breathe, I'd say "Don't hold your breath."

We're the Only Ones Streamlining Enough
New changes are coming in the new year for gun owners, as Illinois State Police streamline the FOID card and concealed carry license (CCL) process. [More]
You know what would really be efficient? Getting rid of the damn prior restraint infringements altogether.
In regards to "When a CCL is suspended or revoked, but a person is still eligible to keep their FOID," I'm trying to envision a circumstance where a person who can be trusted with a gun HERE can't be trusted with one THERE. Then again, anyone who has ever complied with a "gun-free zone" sign ought to be familiar with that contradiction.
