Mixed Feelings

On the one hand, it's great to see such gadgets shown for what they are. And the kid is cute and precocious as hell.

On the other hand, the adult who arranged for, encouraged and allowed such stunningly dangerous violations of Cooper's rules by a child was inexcusably irresponsible. Just because you're an expert in one field doesn't assure mastery of all -- or even, evidently, rudimentary competence.

I regret that my own work too often got in the way of reading him and sharing his links more. As I noted a few years back:

I'm in awe of giants like William N Grigg, and select other liberty writers, and deem their voices to be essential ones to heed. Yet outside of the liberty movement, they remain relatively obscure.

And relatively broke. There's a fundraising page to help his family. Don't let the goal being met dissuade you -- that was established before the breadwinner was lost forever. And please believe me when I tell you they sacrifice much in terms of material rewards -- and sometimes even basics -- by supporting what can only be described as a calling.

History is indeed written by the victors. Please join me in renewing a commitment to ensuring names like Grigg (and Vanderboegh, who was also an admirer) are not forgotten.

The Justice Department, which oversees the A.T.F., has denied any wrongdoing, and the department has refused to say whether the bureau continues to operate such secret accounts, which the government called “management accounts.” The A.T.F. has also refused to say who authorized the account, which was created by agents based in Bristol, Va., who were investigating tobacco smuggling. One government official said the bureau regarded the account as a hybrid of government funds and private money, a combination that is not authorized under federal law. Ryan Kaye, an A.T.F. supervisor, is quoted in public court documents as saying the agents received “verbal directives” from unidentified officials at headquarters to open the account.

If people in the future will be protected cars must simply removed from the collection sites and city centers. It is not reasonable for a big truck can be driven right into Stockholm's popular walking street on a Friday afternoon just before Easter. Politicians have been good at protecting themselves, but now they must also ensure citizens' needs for secure environments. [More]

BREAKING NEWS!

JEWEL COLLECTORS AT INCREASED RISK OF HEISTS! [More]

Hey, the same principle applies.

So opportunistic thieves go after property where they think they can find it? And victimize the easiest marks? Who knew?

And the case against storing guns in vehicles is due to mandates that you can't keep your gun with you? Well, gee, there's an easy solution for that.

I see Bloomberg (that's who The Trace is a mouthpiece for) just can't stop making the case against minority gun ownership, but in this case, I find one claim credible:

The new study also found that non-white gun owners were at nearly three times the risk of having a firearm stolen  though the authors noted that non-whites as a population are more often victims of burglaries and robberies in general. 

What I don't see given even passing thought is how many of those gun "owners" are actually just gun possessors, and how the numbers are driven by people associated in some way with criminals?

That and how many guns have been "repurposed" from negligent Only Ones...?

Occam's Razor

Republicans had to make an extraordinary 11th-hour investment—including robocalls by Mr. Trump—to hang on to a seat in a deep-red district that Mr. Trump had won in 2016 by 27 points... [More]

Come on; it wasn't exactly a squeaker:

In the end, Estes prevailed with 53 percent to Thompson’s 45 percent. Libertarian candidate Chris Rockhold drew about 2 percent of the vote.

And the answer for why it wasn't a total rout may be simpler than "newly energized liberals," who despite "record efforts" failed to overcome a nice guy who isn't exactly famous for being electrifying:

Burdett A. Loomis, a political science professor at Kansas University, said that in a normal year Mr. Estes wins, but predicted it will be a low turnout affair and that Democrats will have more enthusiasm. “He’s an unexciting candidate,” Mr. Loomis said, alluding to Mr. Estes. “Honestly, he’s a stiff.”

As for the starry-eyed new evangelist in Atlanta that the story in the first link profiles, her One Percenter "man of the people" candidate (backed by the guy who leads House floor sit-ins demanding a state monopoly of violence and the guy who thinks Guam is going to tip over), if he does win, it will have less to do with an indignant galvanized snowflake juggernaut, and more to do with premeditated cultural terraforming (and, based on out-of-state donations, no small amount of Yankee carpetbagging).

Gun-Grabbers Purposely Vague when Exploiting Latest School Shooting
