End Gun Free Zones – Massad Ayoob & the Solution to Stop Mass School Shootings. [Watch]
Yep.
The only point I would presume to add any kind of caveat is on the identities of the killers. We need to know them so that we aren’t entirely dependent on police and media to find out more, especially about their political views, as we’ve seen it become SOP to take down their social media accounts when they don’t fit the narrative profile.
I don’t have a solution except maybe to have some standard of grading media coverage to incentivize not going overboard in rewarding the aberrations with “fame” — and that doesn’t seem likely as the focus with the latest atrocity is on blaming Christians for the latest monster being driven to slaughtering children because of their “intolerance.”

Photos from the scene shared on social media showed a large law enforcement presence outside a Dick’s Sporting Goods store. [More]
And you know what Dick’s — with its management decision on what not to sell — couldn’t do for cops that B&B Sales could do a quarter century ago in the North Hollywood shootout?

NSFW, but the guy has a way of saying things.
You know there are people in power against you being armed who don’t want this stopped and who want something bad to happen that they will then exploit.

Section 6 – Agreement to Restrictions and to Hold Harmless I accept and assume all responsibility and liability for, injury to, or death of any person, or damage to any property which may result through an act or omission of either the licensee or the agency that issued the license. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, the licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the agency that issued the license, its chief officer or any of its employees from such claim, suit, or action.

That’s one way to scare people off from applying.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Sunday conceded that a federal ban on assault rifles is unlikely because of a lack of congressional support but pushed for lawmakers to consider a bill that would require training before purchasing such a weapon. [More]
It’s past time to let the GOP know that if they expect to keep the voting charade going another year they’d best get their Vichycons under control to stop this in its tracks.
Because the ultimate reality is, Republicans need people who will not disarm more than people who will not disarm need them.

Under this amendment, it will be unlawful to challenge the clearly unconstitutional language of the bill anywhere but Marion County. [More]
Even though it will criminalize noncompliant citizens throughout the state.

FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTS SAF PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IN CAL. HANDGUN ROSTER CASE [More]
I guess there wasn’t a safe musket or firelock roster at the time…
Mr. Holden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is under indictment and Mr. Holden answered no. [More]
Now try:
Mr. Biden had to complete ATF Form 4473 to purchase the firearm. ATF Form 4473 asks whether the purchaser is an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance and Mr. Biden answered no.
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

A New York City parking garage attendant was hit with an attempted murder charge after confronting an armed thief and wrestling the gun away before opening fire on the suspect. Moussa Diarra, 57, is also charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the incident that occurred at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning. [More]
This is what the prohibitionists would have us all reduced to.
With “legally-recognized” criminal possession exceptions, of course.
Funny, how often the racist inequities of that turn up.
UPDATE
DA Alvin Bragg will not prosecute NYC garage worker who shot armed thief [More]
Yeah, now that there are eyes on this and he fears it may affect public sympathies for him in his quest to make a national name for himself in the political persecution of Orange Man.
Why was the poor guy charged in the first damn place?
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., got into a shouting match with Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., in the halls of Congress after the Democrat called Republicans “cowards” for not supporting gun control in the wake of Monday’s school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. [More]
You don’t like shootings Jamaal, tell your idiot supporters to do a better job parenting.

“It’s not just voters, it Dems, Republicans, independents, gun owners, CPL holders as well as NRA members,” said Porn. Porn contended that the House members who vote “no” on gun safety measures would be easy targets for a recall, making it more difficult for Republicans to win enough seats to win back House control. [More]
Wishful thinking Bernie’s parroting a “statistic” from a 2015 poll by a Democrat group where 196 respondents said they were NRA members and 72% of those were ignorant enough to vote affirmative on “background checks.” He should come to the annual meeting in Indianapolis in April and take a poll from the floor.
I looked for several minutes but his own party sympathies are buried.
One thing he’s right about, though, is “Gun Culture 2.0.” They’re the useful idiots 97percent is counting on to divide and conquer.

“I’m not a huge fan of it, personally,” Stucker said of the move. “As a gun store owner, it puts a little bit more liability on us.” [More]
Is this guy really that stupid, first for talking to the media like they’re honest brokers, and then for throwing his customers under the bus? I want to be careful here because it would have been easy to make assumptions about another gun guy until Herschel took the time to put things in context.
I’ll put out some feelers to our friends at Grassroots North Carolina and see if they can shed any light. Because without finding mitigating circumstances, my kneejerk reaction is to urge gun owners to find somewhere else to go and let this business die.

Unfortunately, people who want you to die have accumulated a critical mass of useful idiots. And they don’t intend to stop until they “control” everything and everyone in Everytown.
Anyone who surrenders to their totalitarian demands should not be surprised to find that’s not enough. It never will be for these maniacs.
