What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas

5 Years After Las Vegas Concert Shooting, an FBI Whistleblower Reveals Probable Motive [More]

Anything’s possible. I’ve also heard about a Saudi prince.

About the only thing that seems impossible is getting the FBI to be forthcoming with what it really knows. I wish I could believe Republicans winning big in November would change that.

Not My Job

Responding to lawsuit, chief judge says he’s not responsible for people who kill others while on court’s electronic monitoring [More]

Maybe If They’d Let You Game, Party, and Sleep In…

US Army Misses Recruiting Goal by 25% [More]

That’s what you get when you condition an entire generation that identifying as “exempt” is something to embrace.

That and irresponsible parenting and “social safety nets” mean a good number don’t have to work.

Is the object to wait for a better case to strip much of the unrestrained rulemaking power away from all federal agencies? [Watch]

Attorney Mark W. Smith speculates on what sounds like a plausible legal scenario and setup, and says don’t abandon all hope on bump stocks. I hope he’s right.

I’ve just heard too many 3D chess claims before.

Like a Good Nachbar

Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]

Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law

The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:

Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”
