There Oughta Be a Law

The man was arrested for felonious assault and has been charged with kidnapping, abduction and unlawful restraint, reports state. According to the article from the Akron Beacon Journal, the man has been imprisoned three times for kidnapping within the last decade. [More]

A “spate,” huh? Well, they do say “Do what you know…”

I wonder what could have stopped this…?

Substitute “woman” for “gun.”

Knew or Should Have Known

“We just want you guys to know my brother has schizophrenia, he’s bipolar,” said the suspect’s sister, Jessica Salazar. “He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. A lot of people that have family members out there are going to understand. He would feel persecuted, voices talking to him. He tried committing suicide once or twice.” [More]

In other words, he couldn’t be trusted without a custodian.

So much for “A” grades on “gun laws.”

A Temporary Setback?

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit out of Missouri has denied a request to hear en banc a 2nd Amendment argument by a criminal defendant who was charged with violating 18 USC 922(g)1, i.e., the ban on felons in possession of firearms law. However, four judges issued a vigorous dissent in which they called into question the constitutionality of 922(g)1. [More]

It sounds like some may be amenable to applying The Law.

Flag Down

This new initiative is called “Capture the Flag,” and it will focus on abuses and mis-application of “Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)” statutes which have been adopted by 21 states and the District of Columbia. [More]

Their very existence is an abuse.

And there’s only one solution that nobody appears incentivized to implement.

Missing the Obvious

The order included a finding “Rahimi had ‘committed family violence’ and such violence was ‘likely to occur again in the future.’” [More]

Define “likely.”

If he was truly proven dangerous why didn’t the order remand him into custodial care until such time as he can once more be trusted to behave his punk @$$?
