California’s ‘Control Me Because I Can’t Control Myself’ Bill

This bill would require the Department of Justice to develop and launch a system to allow a person who resides in California to voluntarily add their own name to, and subsequently remove their own name from, the California Do Not Sell List, with the purpose of preventing the sale or transfer of a firearm to the person who adds their name, as specified. [More]

So… what the hell are they doing out without a custodian?

“Voluntary,” of course, means coereced to keep from having worse charges filed. Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment care about the Fifth?

The feds tried this crap and never did explain where they get the authority from.

We’re the Only Ones Less Lethal Enough

According to the Bismarck Police Department report, Chief Lahay stated he “instructed Officer (redacted) to go less lethal and transition to her taser.” FOX 2 redacted the other officer’s name since she is not accused of any wrongdoing. Lahay further stated that Kalob became aggressive and overpowered Roberta, who was holding on to Kalob at the time. Chief Lahay wrote, “Out of fear for the lives of Roberta, Officer (redacted) and myself of being shot by Kalob, I fired my duty pistol.” [More]

I’d hate to see’em go MORE lethal…

That said, it sounds like the contingency lawyer wants a payday from a no-win scenario because an immutable law had been ignored.

Brain Trust

A “cannibal” who killed a homeless man and ate his eyes and brain was committed in 2013 to Connecticut’s custody for a term of 60 years, then released from the secure facility where he had been housed on “temporary leave” to a group home in September 2023. A hearing scheduled for February 21 will determine whether he is essentially set free under “conditional release.” [More]

Add “brains” to the list.

Some things are broken and cannot be fixed.

Unsecuring the Blessings of Liberty

Because alleged domestic abusers pose a clear threat of violence, the measure is constitutional under the high court’s United States v. Rahimi ruling, Judge Jerry E. Smith said for the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. [More]

If they’re “alleged,” that hasn’t been proven and depriving them of their rights is tyranny.

If it has been proven that they pose a clear threat, leaving them free to victimize is unconscionable.

Any government that would do this to its citizens has delegitimized itself.

Cut and Run

What was the first clue that this person is mentally ill? And if someone has proven they can’t be trusted with a knife, what the hell are they doing out?

THAT’ll Teach ’em

Four teenagers arrested after crashing an allegedly stolen Kia during a police pursuit in Edina have been released from custody as prosecutors weigh charges against two of them… Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Joyce Lorenz said two of those arrested were 16 years old, one was 17 and one was 15. All have been released, Lorenz said. [More]

No, of course we can’t tell you who they are.

Who thinks this is the last we’ll hear of them?

Unexpected Twist/Predictable Response

A gun violence restraining order obtained by CBS 8 states a 20-year-old Carlsbad man was texting with Samantha Rupnow to coordinate a mass shooting. [More]

Because we all know dangerous people can’t get more guns.

So, due process trumps expedience…?

“Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”

Born to Be Caged

Christopher McDonnell, 32, pleaded guilty in October to more than 20 felonies including murder, attempted murder, murder conspiracy, weapon charges and being a felon illegally in possession of a firearm. [More]

Tell me I don’t want him anywhere near me without telling me I don’t want him anywhere near me.

So, how many times has he been cut loose to continue being a known threat?

Sounds like the whole family needs a custodian. And tell me Kayleigh doesn’t just scream “Good judgment in men”…
