There isn't one.  The best prescription is well established, but you can't force people to take it.

Grandma was right, Sponge Bob. Lay off the weed.

Future "Authorized Journalist" material, this one...

[Via Kurt Hofmann who says the future looks dim]

Should you just give robbers what they want?

As for this latest attack, note that the police, who cannot protect anyone beforehand, have yet to produce after-the fact results. They’ve “searched several homes,” but the attackers are still at large, and even if they do arrest suspects, there is no guarantee they will be convicted, and if so, removed from society until it’s safe to release them back into it—if ever.

This Day in History: January 25

January 25, 1779 at Briar Creek, Georgia - On January 25, at 4:00 A.M., Lt. Col. Archibald Campbell marched the British force 10 miles to Hudson's Ferry. He sent the Light Infantry and the South Carolina Royalists to Briar Creek, an additional 14 miles away, to secure the bridge there. The Patriot force at the bridge had learned of the British approach and set fire to the bridge. The British surprised them as they arrived at the bridge.


For 45 minutes, the skirmish raged on. The British finally forced the Patriot force to withdraw. This allowed the British time to put out the fire and capture the bridge.

Conclusion: British Victory.
Casualties: British: 3k, 6w, 7c [More]

There are some interesting admissions from the reporterette:
It can shoot up to 90 rounds, great for confronting a serious adversary.
Ah, so that's why we might "need" such magazines...?

We're the Only Ones Home on the Range Enough

On Thursday morning, residents had circled with orange marker approximately a dozen pieces of gray metal on Ronald Avenue. Included in their survey were a few deformed, copper-colored bullets with gray metal cores. [More]
Back when I lived in Redondo Beach, I could hear them shooting from my house. They didn't do it at obnoxious hours, so I didn't mind it because of the noise per se. Besides, to rip off Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, I love the sound of a range--it sounds like freedom.

But then I would remember the place was "Only Ones" exclusive, and it didn't sound like that at all.

On Common Ground

As a liberal Democrat, I worry about the damage we might do by rushing toward a fresh raft of gun-control laws. It's very hard to demonstrate that most of them -- registration, waiting periods, one-gun-a-month laws, closing the gun-show loophole, large-capacity-magazine restrictions, assault-rifle bans -- have ever saved a life... 

Gun control not only does no practical good, it actively causes harm. [More]
So "as a liberal Democrat," do you feel no complicity for enabling that harm, by giving aid and comfort to those "liberal Democrats" inflicting it on us?

I mean, it's fine and good that you say you understand the truth about "gun control." Now bring yourself up to speed on the evils of collectivists usurping undelegated authority, and we just might find some of that "common ground" your side keeps making noises about as they advance from a beachhead they've already captured and controlled.

Is ‘Project Gunwalker’ about to bust wide open?

The bottom line is, insiders are prepared to come forward. Not just with testimony, but with documentary evidence, and it looks like the trail leads to high places in the executive branch. [More]

And naturally, the politicians are doing what they do best--ignoring this.


Regular readers I cannot overemphasize the importance of YOU getting involved in this. 

Gunsensus

You know, like "consensus" only with a "gun".

Thing is, why do they get ink as any kind of authoritative source? (Nice: the gun right next to the mixed drink.  No bias creation intent there in this "straight news" piece.)

But back to my question: Who are these people?

It looks like the folks my late friend Aaron referred to as "Bagel Brains" are helping to spread a one-sided message:


And it looks, from her Twitter page, like Lori A. O'Neil is essentially your typical anti-gun "progressive" hack:


Her "organization," if there is one, hasn't been around long enough to be found on GuideStar, Melissadata or other nonprofit aggregator websites.

If it looks like Astroturf and feels like Astorturf...that must mean there is no "consensus," just the lie that one exists.

Imagine that.

Which brings me back to the only answer that makes sense for my original question: That instead of being an objective news reporter, "Authorized Journalist" Ben Jackson is also exhibiting the "ethics" of a "progressive" hack.

And funny thing about the name O'Neil chose. It's already been claimed:
gunsensus
meaning: forcing a consensus on people by presenting a fait accompli situation.
pronunciation: gun-sen-sus.
usage: pratibha patil is sonia gandhi's gunsensus candiate.
root: holding the gun to achieve a consensus.
Sounds about right.  Actually, it sounds perfect.

But don't worry, Lori: I understand a sound-alike variant is still available.

Anything's Possible

No, it's not.

The bill makes some exceptions, for example prohibiting deadly force if the person entering a home is a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official capacity. [More]
Sorry. I know I lead a peaceable life that does not warrant an official home invasion.

So I'm afraid my default assumption is that such armed raiders must be those "fauxnly ones" I've been reading so much about in the news lately...

New Jersey gun case demonstrates no justice possible through ‘lawful’ avenues

As things stand now, there is no relief from this injustice.  Which kind of makes me wonder if these newly-empowered Republicans, the ones who’ve promised us they’re all for principled government—and who were put in power largely through the efforts of involved gun owners—are going to take the lead on fixing this obscene outrage. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at another way simply trying to engage in peaceable air travel can subject good Americans to state-sponsored terrorism. And the highest court in the land just said there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
