So Pen the Bull Instead of Cutting His Horns Off and Turning Him Loose?

It makes no sense to let people who are known to be seriously mentally ill and believed to be dangerous go without treatment, even if they have had their weapons taken away. It’s not compassionate. And it can be dangerous. [More]
A-yup.

That could raise probable cause and civil liberties requirements to a whole 'nother level. But what's the mechanism for the vast majority of the perpetually violent who don't submit their transfers to NICS?

The Root of the Problem

Nonetheless, I'm willing to compromise. I'm willing to give Democrats a crown jewel of what they've demanded for decades. [More]
But I'm not.

You People are CRAZY!

... a strong voice for gun violence prevention. [More]
You know, an arbiter of your fitness to own a gun...

Well, they got the "strong voice" part right.

The Rest of Us will be Focusing on Freedom

Want an assault weapons ban that works? Focus on ballistics. [More]
And if you don't want one and Jüdischer Ordungsdienstkapo Julius's masters force it anyway?

He Did It! He Missed the Barn!

The fact that we live in a post-genocidal society oftentimes that was orchestrated by the United States government in that if we want to talk about mass shootings, we need to recognize the massive number of indigenous mass shootings that was conducted by the United States government. [More]
And the only effective counter for targeted victims of that would be...?

Good thing it's "post" and could never, ever happen again, especially with all the tolerance for Heritage Americans being promoted these days.

We're the Only Ones Covering Up Enough

A St. Louis police officer has pleaded guilty to a federal crime for covering up an attack on an undercover officer during a 2017 protest. [More]
Who thinks the outcome would have been different had the victim not been an "Only One"?

We're the Only Ones Pumped Up Enough

St. Louis officer charged in gas station assault [More]
At least the victim remained unleaded.

We're the Only Ones Playful Enough

Officer Alix died in January after being shot. Hendren claimed they were playing with a gun and that he accidentally shot Alix in the chest. Another on-duty officer was also in the apartment on Dover in south St. Louis. [More]
That must be the "professional" difference because I've never considered myself highly trained and skilled enough to try something like that.

Deliberate Indifference

This adapted excerpt, based on never-before-released educational records of the shooter, Nikolas Cruz, shows the Broward County school district knew full well about his obsession with guns and murder — and then let him practice shooting at school. [More]
Tell me David Hogg hadn't shown repeated signs of obsessions of his own.

The Bear Whisperer

‘You don’t have to do this:’ Prince George man tells black bear as it tries to drown him [More]
I once said something very similar to a bear, with one significant difference.

We're the Only Ones Career-Enhancing Enough

A New Jersey police chief has been accused of offering a promotion to an officer in exchange for sex with the officer’s wife and daughter... [More]
While it's important to keep the word "alleged" in mind, what's a certainty is that between accuser and accused, one of them is a ruthless liar with a badge and a gun in a state where "civilian" carry is discouraged by "law."

So Much for Staying in Their Lane

Reporters picked up on the difference and called the 'doctoring' of the map 'Sharpiegate'. [More]
That's not the job of "reporters."  That the job of snarky, overtly partisan opinion writers.

That's the Old Pepper!

After the recent mass shooting tragedies, there couldn’t be a better time to unite and embrace the bipartisan legacy left by leaders like Pepper, O’Neill, Dole and Grassley. [More]
Recommended by someone who had no cognitive dissonance serving as "a White House spokesperson during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations," and that ought to tell us all we need to know -- about him and them.

We're the Only Ones Confiscating Enough



Those are some "police services" you've got going for yourselves, Mission Viejo. [More]

A Leopard Doesn't Change Its Spots

A well-known Trump supporter turned Elizabeth Warren backer on Friday admitted that he was "really an idiot" to think that Donald Trump would be a good president. [More]
He's still an idiot. And most likely made phony Trump support "well-known" (I never heard of him, have you?)  just to ultimately set up a media stunt like this. That would also make him a liar, then and now, right alongside the FakeNewsweek propagandists.

A Working Class Hero is Something to Be

Actress Jane Fonda, 81, canvassed door-to-door in Scranton, Pennsylvania on August 4 to speak to local voters in the swing state. She went door-knocking with Working America, a political non-union workers' group that canvasses to persuade voters to support labor-backed candidates. [More]

Where Sanctuary isn't Just Offered to People

Thanks, vote-breeding Democrats! Thanks, cheap labor Republicans!

Someone's Gotta Do It!

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says he will defy NRA, take lead on gun background checks - ‘Someone in the Republican Party has to take the lead on this,’ Patrick said, of requiring checks when strangers sell to strangers. [More]
That's some "lengthy and proven record" he's bragging about.

Waking Up Too Late

“There’s a lot of apathy and smugness and laziness here on the Republican side that’s got to be reversed or there will be a shock to the system at some point..." [More]
Probably not until they're in the tumbrils.

And the demographic changes aren't just from nest-foulers fleeing "liberal states."

I could swear I just heard Sam Houston, Jim Bowie and David Crockett say "F*** it."

A Reminder for Walmart


Remember a year ago when a "good guy with a gun" stopped a shooting spree at your Tumwater store? [More]

If it happens again, now that you're chasing lawful gun owners away, ask a Demanding Mom to work her disarmament magic.
