A Question of Guilt
Mark McCloskey, Pardoned for Brandishing Guns at Protesters, Can’t Get the Guns Back [More]
And the legal technicality cited will serve what legitimate state interest?
I wonder what the judges would do if a mob of furious leftists destroyed the security gate and trespassed where they live…

UK Police Given New Power To Seize Large Knives Proves Gun Control Will Never Stop [Watch]
That was passed in August but they’ve been at such foolishness a lot longer than that.

Another ‘Child Gun Death’
The gunshots killed 14-year-old Devin Baker, who was at the bedroom window of Wallace’s 8-year-old daughter early morning on Dec. 14. “It’s bothering me that he was a kid,” she said. [More]
So is her daughter. Sounds like the apartment managers were rooting for the creeper to get the girl.
As an aside, my spider-sense is telling me there’s more to this story.

Baltimore’s ATF Lawsuit Really Only Targets ‘Law-Abiding’ Gun Dealers
The prohibitionists want to sue dealers out of existence and are using spurious allegations parroted by their complicit media partners to add another con to their repertoire of rights swindles. [More]
Does anyone believe Steve Detttelbach’s ATF doesn’t welcome being sued and hasn’t been ordered to find a plausible way to take a dive?
A Christmas Story
“The problem is, you got way too many kids out there with way too many guns,” the sheriff said. [More]
Sounds more like way too may kids out there with way too few responsible fathers.
And a way for Democrats to demand you and I be disarmed…
Who does a society producing this grade of populace as a mass result benefit? Foreign and domestic…?

Judge declines to stay assault weapons ban ahead of Jan. 1 registration deadline [More]
What are your options when your own government, headed by a morbidly obese collectivist billionaire, makes you a criminal for refusing to surrender your rights and his allied political courts take away all means of peaceable recourse?

Whether ’tis Nobler
How Gun Shops Are Helping Prevent Suicide – Groups have set up arrangements where people in crisis can get firearms out of their homes [More]
The story is paywalled but we get enough from that to get the drift.
Questions I’d like to see answered include should anyone do this without counsel, whether doing this could be used against them later, what liability the gun store would face for returning firearms, who would have to authorize that, what’s the criteria for their decision either way, and if an equivalent of a Miranda warning ought to be required…
And none of that addresses the core truth.

That Train Has Left the Station
The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect and person of interest in connection with multiple armed robberies and attacks involving a firearm that happened at MetroLink locations. [More]
No worries. You can download their app.

And Thank You for Your Service
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is putting together legislation to require the U.S. military to adhere to state-level red and yellow flag laws for troops. [More]
Denying them due process and stripping them of a fundamental right is one hell of a way to show appreciation.

Don’t these bastards read Codes of Conduct?
Firearms or other weapons of any kind
Y’know, if our safety really is their #1 priority, I’m sure the won’t have any problem signing one of these:
Incompetent ‘Contagious Disease’ Diagnosis for Guns a Prescription for Tyranny
So, if someone else does it you can catch it? What’s the agent of transmission, and how does it enter the body? Can we vaccinate against it? [More]
If what they say is true, shouldn’t we all be wearing face diapers or something?
For the Children
“Marketing guns to children is abhorrent, including the shameful practice of gun manufacturers using social media to encourage children to purchase deadly weapons,” White House spokesman Jeremy M. Edwards told USA TODAY. “This is especially alarming when we know that guns are the No. 1 killer of kids.” [More]
In fact, it’s not, but take a breath, Jeremy. You got so worked up your Rapex popped out.
You too, “real reporter” Nick Penzenstadler.
This is just another tactic to bolster the lawfare attacks against the First and Second Amendments. Besides, as we’ve seen time and again, development- appropriate training trumps prohibitionist ignorance.
What else can I say but “USA Today, a Gannett Publication“…?

As if predators will observe them…
Funny, how the same people who advocate tackling shooters during magazine swaps also advise running and hiding first, which are the worst positions to start a quick counterattack from.
Revealing, how they demand to outlaw the only thing proven to work.

My guess is hypocritical Fudds and Democrats, and “law-abiding” Vichycons.
Easy for me to say, right?
And only 2.5m FOID cards out of 10m adults? I wonder how many guns are held without the card…
