Notes from the Resistance
“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.”

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.

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.

And they’ve known about this feral cretin for how long…?

Cities with the Biggest Homicide Rate Problems [More]
There ought to be a chart showing how many are Bloomberg cities and how all of the problem districts are Democrat strongholds.
And I’m not impressed with “experts” who profess the answer is more Big Brother, unsound thinking, and denial of the obvious.
Supreme Court rules against man given 27 years in prison on gun charges [More]
If you’d told me I would side with Ketanji Brown Jackson against Clarence Thomas I’d have said you were nuts, albeit my reasons are different from hers.

Thomas Sturm reportedly dropped his gun at the Texas-based grocery store located in the 3500 block of Rayford Road on June 15. Investigators said when he went to pick up his gun, he accidentally pulled the trigger and discharged the firearm. [More]
Cleanup on Aisle 4…
Sounds like he needs a custodian.

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 @$$?

Before carjacking, state patrol veteran ‘begged’ Lincoln Police to arrest his son [More]
So red-flagging real threats isn’t enough?
[Via Steve T]
Since DeJesus is a convicted felon, it is illegal for him to have a gun or ammunition. [More]
Why? If he’s truly too dangerous to have one, why was he out?
Same question for this guy…
And I see prohibition is working as effectively as ever.

Man allegedly kills grandma with hammer, summons housekeeper to clean up [More]
Delusional. And how irredeemably broken do you need to be to not be able to be trusted with a hammer?

‘Let’s call it what it is: stupidity.’ Driver mad someone honked at him opens fire on former officer [More]
Let’s call it what it is: Attempted murder. He could have ended the life of another human being.
He can’t be trusted with a gun. That means, after receiving full due process, he needs to be kept away from general society until such time as he can be.

Defendants charged with possessing machine gun back on Houston streets [Watch]
If they’re that trustworthy, what’s the problem with them having machine guns?

A Chicago woman was arrested in a series of baseball bat attacks, police say [More]
Gee, I wonder when she’ll be safe to let out…?

All of them with a criminal history. Three of the suspects were 14 at the time of their first arrest. The youngest was arrested for the first time at 13. Each of the four suspects in CPD Officer Areanah Preston’s murder has a lengthy criminal history. [More]
That’s as valid a reason for disarming you and me as any I’ve heard.
[Via bondmen]
After 18 years in prison, he took over his old L.A. gang. A string of murders followed [More]
So “years” is not the essential component here?
It’s getting tiresome repeating a simple truth everyone “in power” is vested in ignoring.
Bexar County court records show Diaz has four other gun-related charges stemming from different incidents dating back to 2015. [More]
So, if he’s proven he can’t be trusted with a gun, what can’t he be trusted without?
No social order that denies basic truths can endure, and that seems to be the age we find ourselves in.

The loudest voices politicizing this tragedy are those who attempted to derail vital public services for the severely mentally ill. [More]
They’re also the loudest voices against “the law” and for disarming the rest of us.

UPDATE
Young American men will be taught the hard way that selflessness, courage, and their masculine instincts will get them 20 to life in prison. [More]
And thanks to “progressives,” everyone loses!

This part is known and may be cited as the “Safeguard Against Homicidal Side Effects Act.” [More]
So what needs to happen if someone can’t be trusted with a gun? Since when is the Constitutional solution to do an end run around the due p[rcess necessary to make that happen?
Guns & Gadgets calls it “the most discriminating bill ever.”
What the hell’s going on with Tennessee?

The alleged Schnucks parking lot shooter was already a wanted man with a reported violent criminal history. [More]
So if they knew that about this beast, how was letting him out not a crime against humanity?

Investigators confirmed the Jeep had been stolen less than 48 hours earlier. They found a stolen AR-style pistol on the backseat and a .357-caliber Glock 32 under the passenger seat. Both weapons had large-capacity magazines. [More]
If only there were some kind of law for people who can’t be trusted with guns…
Until then, they expect you and me to give up ours.
