Surge in St. Louis homicides threatens to reverse progress made last year [More]
And no worries. The lawsuits against Kia and Hyundai are proceeding as scheduled. And we’ll be planning another gun buyback any day now!

Mansplaining Your Options, Gals
As an alternative to carrying a gun, Hemenway suggests women who feel threatened choose a different route or run during the day, in groups. If a woman feels she needs protection, “bear spray is much safer to use and just as effective as a gun would be,” he says. [More]
Sometimes, all you need to do is present… and he doesn’t seem to factor in multiple assailants.
I wonder how he’d fare…
Who’d pay good money to watch?

The Left’s Funny New Lie: It’s The ‘Red States’ With More Crime! [More]
Factor out what’s happening in Bloomberg cities and armed-to-the-teeth Normal America ends up pretty safe until some out-of-control Democrat starts acting up.
I wonder what would be revealed if someone juxtaposed red and blue areas against a corresponding Neighborhood Scout crime map…

It can’t have anything to do with environmentalcase forestry practices, can it? And ultimately, assuming it’s lightning and not an illegal alien or a government worker with a hero complex sparking things off, isn’t Mother Earth herself to blame?

California liquor store clerk dies after being assaulted with scooter by group of teens [More]
Ah, an assault scooter! This clearly calls for some commonsense scooter safety laws.
Who’da thunk scooter buybacks were a thing?

A Logical Next Step
Mass-murder defendant tells court he doesn’t identify as himself – ‘Nor do I know anybody by that name’ [More]
It makes as much sense as anything else that denies reality. More, when you consider that in this case, it’s apparently confined to one lunatic, at least for now…
For some reason, “I’m a Little Teapot” just sprang to mind…
New Development in Biden Gun Case May Open Complaint for Reconsideration
At the time of the ruling, attorney Stephen Stamboulieh advised that no appeal would be filed due to time, expense, and the unlikelihood of it succeeding. This could change that. A motion for reconsideration may now be feasible since Biden’s attorney Clark publicly acknowledged the investigation. [More]
With his lawyer publicly acknowledging an investigation, ATF’s “Hunter Biden privacy” claim at this point is demonstrably BS.
Your Defense Options are What We Say They Are
An Ohio man was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for illegally possessing a pistol converted into an automatic weapon using a 3D printer that he later used in self-defense outside an IHOP restaurant. [More]
I wonder what would have happened if he’d ditched the gun and kept his mouth shut.

Bringing a Gun to a Gunfight
HORRIFIC SHOOTING CAUGHT ON CAM: I’ve learned the BRAVE security guard shot multiple times point blank Friday evening in the Greenwood neighborhood is NIGEL MOSS. He’s recovering in the hospital. Meanwhile, search continues for suspect. I’ve got a full report coming up. #Seattle pic.twitter.com/hnIe8GJJXE

I’m not a security guard, so if I feel compelled to draw, I’m not chasing and I’m not taking any chances. (Not that I could, as we’ve already publicly established that I don’t own any guns and never have. Nasty things, always going around killing people…)
It will be interesting to see when they catch the guy if he’ll claim self-defense. Breaking a credit union window hardly seems like legal cause for a private actor to escalate things to lethal force.

Gun violence is dropping in Chicago as police credit new tactics, community investment [More]
In other words, there’s a temporary statistical drop and they haven’t got a clue as to why, but are ready to come up with excuses to claim credit.
When it goes back up — and it will– do you think they’ll admit those things don’t work, or just go back to blaming guns?
Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-town.
