‘Ghost’ Dorner provides cautionary tale as ‘black community’ seeks answers

And as for the ghost in the machine?

Is he dead? Or is he cornered? That damned elusive ex-cop Dorner… [More]

This evening's Gun Rights Examiner column highlights a cautionary tale for monopoly of violence advocates, and wonders if Obama's State of the Union speech might get preempted by one of his biggest fans.

Framing the Terms

Christopher Jordan Dorner is an example of a 'law-abiding' gun owner who turns violent. [More] 

Yeah, this rogue ex-"Only One" is obviously our fault.

We're the Only Ones Irreplaceable Enough

The two newspaper delivery women who were shot at during the manhunt for Christopher Dorner will not be getting a new replacement truck as promised by the LAPD... [More]

Yeah, I wouldn't have posed in a propaganda photo shoot and agreed to pay taxes on compensation for a loss they inflicted on me either.  And you'd better believe they'd have used that to mitigate any further civil settlement.


And that "mistaken identity" excuse is nothing short of criminal. Tell me if you and I attacked others so violently --no matter the reason-- that we wouldn't be in jail awaiting trial and a prison term.

We're the Only Ones Shooting Holes in the Theory That We're Better Trained and Safer Enough

Look at the holes in that truck.

Look at how many rounds they fired.

And there was a second shooting?

Shooting newspaper delivery women.  They didn't even have a target identified. If you or I were afraid of a stalker and had done that, imagine how the antis, the newspapers, the politicians, the police hierarchies and the police unions would be exploiting that to "prove" that mere "civilians" are just too untrained and prone to panic to safely use guns for self defense.

This was an act of unprovoked aggression and absolute hysteria.

Caused by one guy. One crazy guy from their ranks.

There are lessons to be observed here, and from the Malvo/Muhammad episode, particularly if any widespread gun enforcement becomes part of a national plan.  You know, the same "laws" Dorner demands "Whether by executive order or thru a bi-partisan congress."

Mother Jones’ Attack on Suppressors a Litany of One-Sided Talking Points

It’s interesting they admit up front that crimes using suppressors are rare, and for their anecdotal example cite one incident in a greater rampage by a former member of law enforcement — one who, incidentally, shared the goals of both Mother Jones and those “law enforcement leaders.” Ex-“Only One” Christopher Dorner wanted to ban suppressors too, along with semi-automatics and normal capacity magazines.  He was also a big fan of Dianne Feinstein, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Obama, and he detested the NRA.

Lying motherjonesers...

Can Dorner teach us anything about gun violence?

You betcha. But only those smart enough to learn. [Read]
