Delta Dawn

 As the Delta variant of the coronavirus surges through the U.K., almost half of the country’s recent Covid-19 deaths are of people who have been vaccinated. But doctors and scientists aren’t sounding the alarm about the apparently high proportion of deaths among the vaccinated population. [More]

Because otherwise, they'd have to admit culpability...?

On the contrary, they say the figures so far offer reassurance that vaccines offer substantial protection against the variant, particularly after two doses. Delta, first identified in India, has since spread to at least 85 countries, including the U.S., where it is now estimated to be the most common variant.

Let's Hope These Don't Turn Out to Be Death Sentences

The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled school employees may carry guns on the job only if they have "satisfactorily completed an approved basic peace-officer training program" or have "20 years experience as a peace officer." [More]

So the law needs to be changed?

But three of the four in the Republican majority dissented, with the most cogent observation being:

"By a plain reading, R.C. 109.78(D) does not prohibit Madison Local from authorizing school staff employed in nonsecurity-related positions to legally carry weapons on school property without having to satisfy the peace officer-training requirements".

That means if some maniac decides to take advantage of the "gun-free zones" and slaughter children, blood will be on the hands of the three Democrats (no surprise there) and "Republican" Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, who is slated for mandatory retirement next year and doesn't have to worry about the "justices" in Ohio being elected.

Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’

 

That’s the crux—if new developments in weaponry can be denied to We the People, then it’s just a matter of time before the disparity between what the government has and what the people have will be as wide as if we were relegated to Brown Bess muskets and flintlocks against modern infantry. Unless “in common use at the time” is held to mean by soldiers in the field, with real “weapons of war,” as opposed to a sporting arms popularity contest,  the Second Amendment will be nullified as a last-resort defense against foreign and domestic tyranny.
