Fitting the Profile

Mass shooters overwhelmingly fit a certain profile, say Jillian Peterson and James Densley, which means it’s possible to ID and treat them before they commit violence. [More]

Fine, but in all their Department of Precrime advocacy, they’re a little light on full due process and still seem trapped in the mindset that passing edicts against tool possession will stop a determined maniac.

Life in the Tardocracy

Jackson Lee: There Was ‘Seismic Increase of Carnage Across America Using Automatic Weapons’ after Assault Weapons Ban Expired [More]

Were they “as heavy as 10 boxes“?

No, of course, it doesn’t have to make sense or be true, and of course, no “fact-checkers” will challenge it. The object is to get it out there influencing the ignorant. That and to induce them to hate you.

A Father/Son Business

Prosecutors: Father, son charged with selling silencers had 105 firearms, 13,800 rounds of ammo at home [More]

Citing those has everything to do with scaring and prejudicing the readers.

Tracing things from the indictment to the guy’s website to his other website to his previous website, it looks like he was doing things because of his beliefs.

In any case, he evidently wasn’t doing things very cautiously if the goal was to get away with them. Here’s what Prince Law has to say about solvent traps.

If you were his customer, I’d be calling a lawyer and determining exposure and vulnerability about now.

What Kind of Violence?

More than 30 people dead from gun violence over Memorial Day weekend across US [More]

Tell us about the lifestyles and choices of the people involved in committing the violence, and about what perpetuates, enables, and makes such outcomes inevitable.

No?   Just call it “gun violence” and act like disarming normal Americans will do anything but create a deeper victim pool?

Small Wonder

Richard Small is a self proclaimed “NRA Republican” and long-time gun owner who says the Uvalde, Texas, shooting made him question why he owned an AR-15-style gun – a gun that has been used in multiple mass shooting in the US. [Watch]

How convenient.

I wonder who this quisling is and how he all of a sudden has become the go-to guy for the grabbers to hold up as a “reasonable” NRA member.

My guess is if you pull the thread you’ll find a Lincoln Project apparatchik.

In any case, I’d say the Bylaws qualify him for expulsion from NRA, but if they didn’t have the integrity to do it to Michael Moore, they won’t want to touch it.

The Impose Unenforceable Edicts for the Children Act

Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee will hold a vote on a gun control package Thursday which includes six gun control measures that would not have prevented the Uvalde attack. [More]

Here it is.

Hopefully, Republican “moderates” won’t totally blow the “red wave” in November and this never makes it to the floor.

Self-Defense Not a ‘Choice’ Statists Allow People to Make for Themselves

“OK, you can have your guns, but you can’t have your AR-15. If you’re gonna get all in my business and tell me what my family can and cannot do, neither can you. They’re gonna come for those AR-15s and you better get ready to give them up!” [More]

Somehow, “nasty” doesn’t seem strong enough…

The Ruse of the Fisherman

In an interview with The Pillar, Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, elaborated on a tweet he made following the horrific mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and admonished gun-owning Catholics — and all Americans — that there is no “divine right” argument to be made about owning a weapon. [More]

I beg to differ.

Anybody see the Swiss Guard disarming?

80% Deceivers

The 80% Coalition is non-partisan and is comprised of advocacy, business, education, faith-based, professional and service organizations committed to pushing back against hate and urging our legislators at the state and federal levels to pass commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. [More]

I see a lot of “faith” organizations claiming tax-exempt status in there…

Ask What Our Country Can Do for You

Askandi, who’s Mexican American, attended the protest with her son, who’s also Persian American, because she said she’s become afraid after gunmen targeted people of color in Buffalo, N.Y., less than two weeks ago and in El Paso in 2016. [More]

So they came here with the understanding of the role of government they were indoctrinated with, and now want to impose what they fled on the people who took them in.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …
