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”…

Must Be the Gun’s Fault…

Mentally ill Calif. school shooter fired at kids as ‘countermeasure’ for US involvement in ‘genocide of Palestinians’ [More]

“[A] long history of mental health issues, alarming criminal behavior, and past stints in prison,” eh?

And let’s hear if for California gun laws!

We’re the Only Ones Arms Dealing Enough

Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime [More]

It’s a prickly issue, alright…

On the one hand, I see the danger.

On the other, it seems like Democrats could use this to call for destruction rather than resale to the public…

If government just followed the law, we woudn’t have this problem.

A Model Prisoner

The New York Post reported that Romero had been released from jail only four days before this incident. Authorities told the Post that Romero had been “freed on Nov. 14 after serving just half his 50-day indecent exposure sentence due to ‘good behavior.’” [More]

Yeah, because if he’d tried that $h!+ there they’d have shivved his smirking punk @$$.

How much louder and clearer can some people make it that they can never be trusted without a custodian?

We’re the Only Ones Unfocused Enough

In May, the sheriff said the ALPR system helped deputies track down a burglary suspect. Investigators identified the suspect car as a gray Porsche, and the owner was a 15-time convicted felon. [More]

The sheriff and his fawning media cheerleaders don’t think they’re kind of missing some larger points here…?
