Anti-Gun Former Mayor "Culpable" in Bizarre Houseboy Shooting

That the undocumented minor and the diminutive mayor had spent time alone on several occasions is undisputed. Also stipulated are dozens of strange cigarette burns covering the boy's upper torso. What's in dispute is how a gun that disappeared a year earlier from a monitored NYPD evidence safe ended up in the bowl of the clogged gold-rimmed bidet, resulting in a "flood" reported by residents of the apartment below, and leading to the unraveling of what looks like a pattern of numerous similar past incidents.

I'm looking forward to this and hoping they don't overly mess it up. [More]

‘Legitimate media’ gives pass to disgraced Fast and Furious prosecutor

A former U.S. attorney should be “celebrated, not sanctioned” the editorial board of The Arizona Republic recommended Saturday. [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes those demanding sympathy for the devil all seem to be carrying fireproof press cards...

Pop Sugar

Who are these people, and what makes them anything other than contemptible propaganda tools of the lowest order? [More]

And more to the point, what the hell is wrong with celebrity worshipers that enable and sustain this?

On the plus side, I guess a short term supply of cannibal food will give the harder targets more time to fortify and prepare...

Mike Malloy Wants You Dead

Anybody think peace is possible with this prozi loon? [More]

Anybody really want it with him?

Ellmers Fudd?

Just connecting some dots here on Renee Ellmers--some constituents are mighty displeased with her on her immigration stance......which appears to be shaped by these Mark Zuckerberg-funded establishment "conservatives"... 

So what's with her NRA endorsement followed up with this sign?

First of all why would someone who deserves our support even have it, and second, is it even legally enforceable? What about all the other prohibitions?

It's all interrelated...

Montana ammo casing processor raid recalls warnings of anti-gun agenda at OSHA

Case in point, since OSHA is mentioned as a possible catalyst in Thursday’s Bozeman raid by other agencies, this column warned back in 2009 that Obama’s pick to head the agency, David Michaels, was strongly anti-gun and committed to using regulatory schemes to get his way. At the time of his nomination, this column advocated organized opposition, including scoring confirmation votes against gun group ratings and contacting the appropriate Senate committee, even reminding readers of Michaels’ organizational connections with George Soros (himself a backer of draconian international citizen disarmament efforts).

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes not all hazards are readily apparent when they first appear and not all protective measures are taken when they're pointed out.

Subjective ‘self defense’ vs. ‘murder’ case highlights reporting dilemma

One can walk away from this (because we have that option) feeling that this entire episode was unnecessary and tragic, and one can feel sympathy (or not) for all concerned. Perhaps there will be nothing Kiehlmeier can do, and if one is a survivor of the deceased, perhaps that’s the least of what they would demand. [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes sometimes, there are no satisfactory answers. At least any that are readily apparent.

A Man's Gotta Know His Limitations

And boy, have I been learning mine.  Plus I've been scheduling some follow-up doctor visits through the weekend. And no, I'm not going to get into details or personal stuff, except to say thank you for well-wishes and prayers.

On the plus side, it doesn't look like this isn't anything I won't be able to heal out of, although what I find out over the next few days could change that assessment.  And my plans are still to keep my commitment in CT for April 5.

That said, the slowdown here will continue for a few more days, with everything that means in terms of not being able to react to or respond to most communications.  Everything is taking me a lot longer than usual, and just being able to type a sentence without multiple typos needing correction is currently a challenge.

I'm working on a GRE column for later today--Hopefully, I'll have something posted in a few hours.

In the mean time, make sure to visit all the usual folks I routinely promote around here.

Citizens can learn and use jury power to thwart unjust prosecutions

“Note how the courts turned the state's hurdle of ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ -- as was intended to be decided by an informed and empowered jury -- into a rigged hurdle against the defendants to prove that they ‘would've been likely to win’ -- as ‘determined’ allegedly in good faith by one or more ‘justices’ or judges,” my friend observed. “Thus changing the presumption of innocence to more of a presumption of guilt. How do 'justices' know what a jury would've done had it been a fair trial? Some kind of crystal ball?" [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes a “secret” power that must stay hidden in order to be used, and doesn't that just tell us everything we need to know about how far things have been allowed to degrade?
