They'll Need More than That

According to court documents, the user posted a threat to assault federal law enforcement officers writing, "...shoot every agent on sight," in a discussion about the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco in 1993. [More]
There's a big difference between an opinion and a threat, and that hardly seems as specific as, say, Madonna telling a mob she wanted to blow up the White House. Unless there's a lot more we're not being told, an honest juror would have plenty of reasonable doubt.

Not to say the kid doesn't merit a closer look and possibly more, but this looks more like picking low-hanging fruit to grab sensational hero headlines and justify a six-month "investigation." It will no doubt be used to pressure DeSwine into earning back his Brady "A" by calling for upping Ohio's handgun possession laws.

The new hospital added over 22,000 nonfatal gun injuries to the 2015 national estimate — more than 100 times greater than the most ever contributed by its predecessor.

We're the Only Ones Trained and Capacitated Enough


Never go full Ken Reid. [Watch]

When asked about statistics showing killings occur in "gun-free zones," he replies by calling for a ban on "these AR47 ... these AR ... these AK47s."

He goes on to include all defensive gun uses:
"I don't think regular citizens have the training and the capacity to do what's necessary."
And he would ban guns for all private citizens.

Of course, when it comes time to sign for a concealed-gun authorization, the buck stops with Sheriff Smith. And this wouldn’t be the first time she’s come under fire for the way she doles out the coveted permits, or gives preferential treatment to people with clout. [More]

That’s what Ebrard and his “monopoly of violence” co-conspirators on this side of the border are really after, for U.S. “gun laws” to be more like Mexico’s. But unlike with immigration laws, they want disarmament to be enforced — and of course with no corresponding duty to protect. [More]

Blind Pig Finds Acorn

Et tu, Dan?

One of the biggest disappointments has to be Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas. Crenshaw, who for many was a shining star amongst conservatives, shocked gun owners when in a tweet after the El Paso shooting stated “Let’s start with the TAPS Act. Maybe also implement state “red flag” laws, or gun violence restraining orders.” [More]
His BS "due process" excuse not only doesn't hold water, but it would also be impossible to restrain states that Congressional action would fund. Add to that once this is passed it will be one less hurdle toward the goal of total "control" to overcome the next time evil visits, and you know it will, and something else will then be up for "reasonable compromise."
