We're the Only Ones Taking Care of Number One Enough

Broward Sheriff Scott Israel said Thursday the school resource officer stationed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas was suspended without pay after he learned the deputy never went into the building when the shooting began. Broward Sheriff's Office [More]
Hey, he wanted to make it home at the end of his shift. Kind'a like Columbine.

And who better to heed on disarming people who would go in than Scott Israel?

Fair is Fair

Ok Kids, 21 It Is [More]
After all, anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian.

Back By Popular Demand?

Two-thirds of Americans now support stricter gun control measures – including nearly HALF of Republicans [More]
Assuming this result of loaded questions asked of people who don't understand their implications is true, what the Elephants had best get straight is if they abandon their base, they'll never have power again.

It will be instructive to see how many gun owners will hold on to theirs.

The Going Rate


From Len Savage:
In a 5th circuit case I was asked to explain the legal definition of a machinegun so that it would be easily understood....I was also tasked with explaining how rate of fire is NOT part of the definition. 
If bump stock could have been banned by any interpretation of current law the previous administration would have banned them.

To Their Credit?

What if the finance industry — credit card companies like Visa, Mastercard and American Express; credit card processors like First Data; and banks like JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo — were to effectively set new rules for the sales of guns in America? [More]
I believe market opportunities will attract entrepreneurs.

Also, I'm not certain what kind of collusion is allowed under existing regulatory frameworks they all must abide by.  A coordinated closing off of the entire market would seem to invite that other "progressive" policy, antitrust laws.  And there's always the boycott factor, especially if all do not go along. Not to mention political pressure. For instance, JP Morgan has plenty of dealings with the feds, and why not have a political push for agencies to not use banking services that discriminate against gun owners?

We'll see.

Boy, the weasels sure want to destroy a basic right, do they not?

The Fairfix Is In?


Big NRA sellout on guns to be announced Friday? [More]

I cannot overemphasize that this is uncorroborated. Now that it's out there I'd be derelict not to present it, but caution against kneejerk buying into it as gospel.

It names Col.Brown and says he's threatened to resign. I've emailed him and asked if this is true.

UPDATE-- He emailed me back:

Out of the Question

Unfortunately there are many key questions lost in the race to score political points from the shooting. [More]
There's a difference between "unfortunately" and "deliberately." And between "lost" and "buried."

You know, the folks with the commie fist  run by a jihad/sharia-endorsing, accused sexual assault enabler who attacks female genital mutilation survivors.

You know, Shannon allies who employ armed guards.

Oh, and look:
Officials from Hamilton High School in Chandler and Highland High School in Gilbert did not respond to requests for comments on Monday.
That shouldn't be an option. That's not why they've been hired.

There are individuals who can be identified and held accountable.
