The Power to Destroy

“California effectively seeks the power to destroy the exercise of a constitutional right by singling it out for special taxation,” the lawsuit alleges. “If this tax is permitted, there is nothing stopping California from imposing a 50% or even 100% tax on a constitutional right it disfavors whether it be the right to keep and bear arms, the right to free exercise of religion, or any other right.” [More]

Ask the Police:

It is an offence to carry any sharp or bladed instrument in a public place, with the exception of a folding pocket knife where the cutting edge of the blade is 7.62 cm (3 inches) or less. Please note that the term ‘cutting edge’ is not limited to an area of the blade that has a textured or serrated edge…The penalty for committing this offence is a maximum prison sentence of four years.

What’s the “hate crime” penalty for reporting it?

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last month joined the investigation into Lina Hidalgo’s $11 million no-bid contract.

Well… there’s a surprise:

Mother demands answers after son is among victims in series of shootings in 24 hours in Lancaster [More]

I have questions, too, starting with “Mom, where was your husband in that clip?”

Or are we not allowed to extrapolate from generalities? Because those who say we need more “gun control” sure do.
