Never Letting a Crisis Go to Waste

HB 219: Assault Weapons and Large-Capacity Magazines [More]

Mr. and Mrs. Florida, turn 'em all in?

Anybody from Florida know if this is just noise or if it stands a chance?

Accelerated Schedule

Bloomberg /Brown Confiscation Bill Fast Tracked [More]

Who will make their voices heard?

Assume the Position

Bill Clinton wants to 'present his position' on unsealing Monica Lewinsky sex scandal investigation records [More]

Standing with his pants around his ankles comes to mind...

Altering the Deal

Jeff Sessions: DACA Deal ‘Last Real Opportunity’ to Enact Immigration Agenda That ‘Serves National Interest [More]

All needed laws and enforcement mechanisms already exist.

Make a deal for government to obey the law? And they won't alter that as well?

What do you think, Darth?

No Surprise There

Trump Supports Efforts to Improve Gun Background Check System [More]

What's the guy supposed to think when he gets a green light from Fairfax?

[Via Wynn A] 

It's Not About Guns

For the most part I agree with this guy.  [More]

I'd argue against "licensing the kid." I did not need the state to get into my business and authorize development-appropriate access.

But he does make some good points.

As Simple as a Swab Test?

[More]

Well I'm totally out of my depth on this one. I'm looking at the intrusiveness aspect, and aside from not seeing any clear fedgov authority to involve itself in this area, I'd think this would be something medical practice and pharmaceutical company insurers would want to require as a matter of liability protection.

Anybody have a clue about the contraindication assumptions?

And of course, due process protections would need to apply.

Timing is Everything

They say the timing was insensitive after the deadly Florida school shootings. [More]

When would they say it would be a good time...?

Oh, never?

So that's just a transparent lie?

I'd be interested in seeing if those "moms" really "had no idea." Because if the raffle has been an annual tradition, it doesn't seem all that credible that they'd just show up and be "shocked... shocked." This seems more like a premeditated "fake news" stunt that CBS 13 Sacramento is glad to be a part of.

Some of us questioned hiring him in the first place.

Brown's Mom

When Brown's mom, Candice Brown, president of the Boulder County 4-H adult advisory committee, learned that the 4-H-led Boulder County Shooting Sports Council was approved to host a tack show table exhibiting .22 caliber rifles and pistols as well as shotguns and archery equipment, she worried about the message the new display would send to youth. [More]

Were Brown being threatened, one wonders what Brown's mom would be prepared to do about it.

Out With the Old Guard, In With the New Guard...

What do you have to do to get rid of the "old guard" again...? [More]

Crazy Like a Fox

Former Mexican President Blames “Racist Trump” for School Shooting [More]

Everyone understands you don't hold significant political or economic power in Mexico without cartel ties, right?

From the Stupid Ideas Department

The rolling panels are capable of stopping an AK-47 or even a sniper rifle. [More]

Did you mean to add "bullet"?

"$2,200 apiece"...?

And are they capable of stopping the maniac wielding the gun, or are we just making idiot noises and enabling blood profiteering?

We're the Only Ones Getting Off Enough

Heading into trial, the case against Cichy appeared solid, given the other defendants’ admissions of guilt and the evidence, which also included cocaine confiscated from a drug dealer the men allegedly worked with and secretly taped audio recordings of discussions about the scheme... [More]

Hey, maybe now they'll all get off.

Anyone surprised?

Besides our "leaders"?

We're the Only Ones Penetrating Enough?

Woman sues former St. Clair County deputy, accusing him of sexual assault [More]

I dunno -- something about this story just doesn't ring complete...

Genocidal Dictator and Maniac-Approved

[More]

Do that and it takes you to their "Kids Dead: Send Money" blood-profiteering page.

Just send them names.

Kind of Like Sanctuary Schools?

Because back in 2013, the Broward County School Board adopted a program where they don’t relay information to police about troubled students. [More]

I have to admit to having reservations about always calling in police, who have been known to bring consequences of their own. In this case, however, a threat threshhold appears to have been reached.
