Arming teachers does nothing to protect our children from gun violence. Data shows these reactive initiatives are ineffective, make students and staff feel less safe, and only bring new risks into schools. Despite this, a staggering 15 states have laws on the books that explicitly authorize arming teachers. [More]
And which schools where teachers are armed have experienced mass shootings or any of the dire consequences being warned against?
This is just like when concealed carry was starting to become a thing, and we heard hysterical bleating against Dodge City/Wild West/Blood in the streets over fender benders that never materialized.
These un-American liars would rather see you and yours savagely murdered than armed, and would prefer it if your assailant used a gun so they can dance in the blood and demand more defenselessness.
We navigate public spaces with a quiet, practiced vigilance, aware that in America guns have become the leading cause of death for children and teens, especially Black and Brown youth. [More]
Because racism.
And not enough wealth transfer.
And nothing to do with choices.
There’s some industrial strength finger-pointing and denial baked into this collectivist’s rant. Good grief, some of the people put forth as leaders…
Rational people can’t deal with this and shouldn’t be expected to. We can feel sympathy for the delusional, but must be ready to repel them the second they become dangerous.
Albanese announces gun buyback scheme as NSW moves on gun limits, protest bans – Anthony Albanese said he expects “hundreds of thousands” of guns to be collected and destroyed through the scheme. [More]
You cannot meaningfully reduce the number of guns in the United States without building a system capable of finding them, compelling disclosure, and forcibly removing them when people decline to cooperate. [More]
We believe gun-control advocates – or their leadership anyway – consider the deeply totalitarian implications she draws out to be not a bug but a feature. We think they want to shape the kind of society in which the kind of total. smothering force she describes can be exerted, much more than they want to “reduce gun violence” or any of the other goals they talk about.
It’s not about guns. It’s about freedom.
And having history to show us what totalitarians are capable of, it’s existential.
GOP Candidate Amy Fennell Wanted to Keep ‘Treasonous Felon’ Trump Out of White House – A series of recent social media posts from Fennell show the Republican candidate blasting Trump while supporting Kamala Harris. [More]
This is a heck of a case. Watch this, because he does a good job explaining Gardner v Maryland, where a traveler forced to defend herself got hosed by Maryland violence monopolists..
I want to know why my A-rated Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost did not join in with the other state AGs, and why my two A-rated Republican Senators, John Husted and Bernie Moreno, didn’t join in with Ted Cruz and all those other senators. I think I’ll ask them.
Also, in the briefs I’ve seen so far, there’s one case that’s not cited, and not being a lawyer that seems more than curious to me as it has direct bearing because it was decided by the Supreme Court.
In the infamous Dred Scott decision, SCOTUS made one admission that showed what the court’s thinking was on this exact issue when it rationalized:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, AND TO KEEP AND CARRY ARMS WHEREVER THEY WENT. [Emphasis added]
Educate a poor non-mouthpiece layman here who holds the simple notion that “shall not be infringed” means what it says and is jaded enough to believe the gun-grabbers understand that, too. Why isn’t anyone bringing up a part of Scott v Sandford that would survive where the rest of the decision would fall?
Hey, as long as he can be trusted without a custodian we ought to be cool with him being armed, but if the feds green-light rights restoration, I think the rest of us deserve to know the criteria they expect us to meet.
As noted many times before, those who have it won’t cede real power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand. And they’re counting on most of us having too much to lose to jump out of the heating pot.
The single most salient fact of the post-Oct. 7 world, at least in the United States, is this: Every major group that Jewish advocacy organizations fought for are either sitting this one out or suiting up for the other side. [More]
The National Firearms Agreement established after the Port Arthur massacre will be renegotiated and NSW parliament may be recalled before Christmas to pass urgent legislation after a father and son allegedly slaughtered 15 people with legally registered firearms. [More]
So… give the grabbers everything they demand (at the time) and then they come back to demand more…?
The Yukon government has formally stated it will not participate in the federal mandatory firearms buyback program, placing the territory among a growing group of provincial and territorial governments resisting Ottawa’s gun control policies. [More]
…Imagine not knowing who among us us carrying a hidden, loaded gun…” [Watch]
Yeah, that’s kind of the point, and we don’t have to imagine: The public doesn’t “know” in every state of the union that has some kind of permit, and in 29 states that recognize permitless carry.
What Nick and Everytown are saying is they want everywhere, in every town, to be a “gun-free zone,” where the only “legal” arms are borne by violence monopoly enforcers and the rest by criminals and terrorists. It’s not just reciprocity they oppose — it’s ALL carry, and they’re counting on the herbivores dumb enough to follow them to also be too dumb to see they’re once more allowing themselves to be swindled out of their rights.
Imagine places where that is so… OK, not there but here… well, anyway, imagine being in such a place and then ask yourself how much good “anti-gun male” Nick Suplina would be at protecting his family or himself, and why he demands imposing that wretched impotence on men and women who can.
