Notes from the Resistance...
Brooklyn cops took suspect’s phone and took goofy selfies [More]They're evidently every bit as smart as they look.
Sheriffs Association introduces new, slimmed-down version of bill adding felonies that preclude future gun rights [More]None of which negates an inconvenient truth that's apparently in no one's interest to acknowledge...
If we lose this critical battle in Nevada, the same fight will land on your doorstep in the years to come. [More]Would you rather the battle be where they are or where you are? And if you won't help them, why should they help you?
Automatic voter registration takes hold on West Coast [More]You don't say.
“The bills are dead, they just don’t know it,” said Eileen McCarron, president of Colorado Ceasefire, who referred to the gun measures as “zombie bills” at a news conference prior to the bills being heard in committee.
“The people who are here today are on the front lines against the zombie apocalypse,” McCarron quipped. [More]If there's one thing a collectivist monopoly of violence zealot knows about, it's the dead.
U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that the plaintiffs in a suit seeking to bar the District from enforcing its concealed-carry regulations "have not met their burden of showing a likelihood of success on the merits" in a motion for a preliminary injunction. The ruling in effect upholds—for now—D.C.'s "good reasoning" licensing scheme. [More]This is the same Nazgûlette who "ruled" We the People couldn't carry in national parks without first doing an environmental impact study.
A gunman who led Denver Police on a high speed chase and shootout that would result in the gunman’s death and leave one officer with a bullet wound to the leg had been recently arrested and released three times under new “Sure and Swift” policies adopted by the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC). [More]Well that was certainly sure and swift, all right.
Disabled individuals make up a third to half of all people killed by law enforcement officers. Disabled individuals make up the majority of those killed in use-of-force cases that attract widespread attention. This is true both for cases deemed illegal or against policy and for those in which officers are ultimately fully exonerated. The media is ignoring the disability component of these stories, or, worse, is telling them in ways that intensify stigma and ableism. [More]Interesting.
Ohio lost 112,500 jobs due to trade with TPP countries [More]Gosh, that's "critical," all right, Gov. Kasich.
But now there’s an option for supporters of abortion to completely avoid apparently offensive “pro-life” terminology. It’s a Google extension that changes any occurrence of the term “pro-life” to “anti-choice” in text on the Web. [More]Who'da thunk?
I’m reminded of a rally I participated in many years ago, when I lived in Southern California—the Million Moms had a rally in front of the federal building in LA’s Westwood neighborhood (interestingly, we were in front of a veteran’s cemetery), with moneyed special interests busing numbers in, naturally, and our folks set up a line across the street. Out of the entire Los Angeles area, we only got about 250 supporters to join us throughout the day, never all there at the same time. It was especially appalling, because a week or so earlier, 40,000 managed to drag themselves to the Pomona Fairgrounds for the largest gun show in the west.
That would seem to indicate that the issue isn’t “lax gun laws,” at all, as the majority segment of the population behaves remarkably peaceably around all those guns. The implication is what Michael Bloomberg articulated a few years back, when he advocated for cities to enact special race-based disarmament edicts aimed at “minority” males up to age 25. [More]But it's a really "progressive" plantation, with tolerant masters and everything...
Pezeshk said he does not mind President Obama's tougher gun control law on gun shows. "I love that aspect of it because that way I know who the gun is going to," he said. [More]Do you really not get it or are you just looking forward to more $ to run background checks? There's no excuse for either one.
