Disrobed

 A former Cook County judge was arrested in a large human trafficking investigation involving over 100 people in Florida. Daniel Peters, 66, of Illinois, was charged with soliciting a prostitute. [More]

A Democrat judge, so you can assume an anti-armed citizen judge...

Hey, who better to control the rest of us with "laws" than those who won't control themselves with them?

Take the Wrong Target Challenge

 A new social media challenge where teens freeze water beads and place them in toy guns that look realistic is making its way around the country. [More]

What a stupid way to die.

Gee, guys, about to get hoist with your own petard...?

There's One More Option

 More first graders coming home with tears in their eyes. Six-year-olds asked to decide for themselves whether they are more likely to survive by hiding in a closet, or if they should rush the gunman. [More]

What kind of "commonsense gun safety advocate" would be manipulative enough to ask something stupid and hurtful like that?

Although I am fairly certain feral sons Uday and Qusay would have replied "My Daddy would shoot him."

The Fletcher Report

 This is what happens when you waste your time sending a form email that includes all politicians instead of just the ones that are persuadable.  [More]

Feral sons Uday and Qusay would have loved these when they were little.

I do wonder if bringing one to school will get a kid suspended under "Zero Tolerance."

There Goes the Narrative

 Jonathan Toebbe, 43, and his Trump-hating teacher wife, Diana, were arrested last October after prosecutors said he approached a foreign government in an attempt to provide the nation with thousands of pages of stolen classified documents about the nuclear reactors that power the U.S. submarine fleet. [More]

Funny, that's not who we've been told the real domestic enemies are...

Once a Mitthead...

 No, Sen. Mitt Romney, the fate of democracy does not hinge on U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney winning her GOP primary in Wyoming. [More]

About what I'd expect...

Environmental Impact

 The rate at which people have died by firearms in the U.S. has generally increased in recent years, but saw its greatest spike in approximately four decades in 2020. [More]

Curious-- there have probably never been more "commonsense gun safety laws"...

I wonder if this has any bearing...?

Don't worry. Those engineering this will get by just fine.

At least they think they will.

Let's Start Small

 Kansas state senator wants to outlaw ‘ghost guns’ [More]

That's not all she wants to outlaw, of course, but best to focus on the tip and leave the rest of the iceberg for later...

Prosecutorial Discretion

 Denver District Attorney Beth McCann announced that she was dropping second-degree murder charges initially brought against Matthew Dolloff over the October 10, 2020 political rally related shooting death of Lee Keltner. Yet photographic evidence suggests more than enough probable cause to justify testing self-defense claim at trial [More]

So this business of joining with Moms Demand Action to protest "gun violence" depends on who's committing it against whom?

I asked about this here.

Here's how they explain it.

The Bill of Powers

 In The Boston Globe last December, Professor Mary Anne Franks did precisely this. As part of a symposium on the U.S. Constitution, Franks argued that Americans should seek to “edit” the “deeply flawed” First and Second Amendments so that they are less “aggressively individualistic.”  [More]

To borrow a question attributed to someone who agreed with her, how many divisions does Mary have?

Getting Out Before the Checkpoints Go Up

Hundreds of local Seattle businesses are leaving, and Seattle residents have no one to blame except voters and the communists they’ve elected. [More]

I guess they still "haven't tried it right" yet...

This Has Gotta Be a Lie

 According to the investigation, the victim simply passed by Esco on her way home and he yelled a racial slur at her. She ignored him. When she moved to unlock the second door to enter the lobby, the suspect punched her in the head from behind, knocking her to the floor, then proceeded to punch her in the head and face more than 125 times with alternating fist strikes before foot-stomping her seven times and spitting on her, police say. [More]

Bull. Black people can't be racist. Tell 'em, Luke:

Flip THIS

Our mission is to flip the script on gun culture through cultural campaigns that create a new narrative that guns make us less safe. [More]

Way to admit it's all about inventing talking points to parrot, not that it hasn't been apparent all along. 

I see they're all Astroturfers, with the Joyce Foundation, the Hero of Medicine...

You'd think they'd have more than 227 Twitter followers... 

'The Gun Went Off'

That's a "cool feature," all right... [More]

My first question was "Why would this moron post this and let everyone know he's a moron?"  and the only answer I could come up with was "Because he's a moron."

Alec Baldwin: Just About Everyone is to Blame in Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting But Himself

It’s the other producers’ fault. It’s the director’s fault. It’s the prop  master’s/armorer’s fault. It’s the gun’s fault. [More]
