The Wrong Question

Is our justice system still capable of deterring killers? [More]

It never was.

What deters us from killing has always come from within. What deters killers is the same thing that deters all predators.

Is our justice system still capable of dealing with killers?

Increasingly the system results in anything but justice, and no, it’s up to the individual to have the means, the judgment, the training, the will, and the presence of mind afterward to not do or say anything to trigger the ever-dangerous state to turn on him.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Minor’ Is

Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018.  [More]

Purchasing two handguns, actually, if anyone in authority is interested in, you know, investigating. And for each instance:

The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.

Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.

I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.

Modern Sporting Pitchfork

Whip-wielding Florida woman, 56, arrested for STABBING minivan with a pitchfork [More]

The thought strikes that one way to show the ludicrousness of the term “assault weapon” would be to observe that if the same “logic” were applied to this as is applied to guns, the tool in the hands of an “Only One” would magically transform into a “patrol pitchfork.”

And don’t get me started on “Modern Sporting Rifles,” a term I have always found irritatingly appeasing.

Life in the Parasitocracy

New video shows suspects shoot and kill rideshare driver in Oakland [Watch]

A good man trying to build a better life worked two jobs to provide for his loved ones and these two submoronic predators, who the smart money says have been in the system with prior victims, feel entitled to execute him because he didn’t obey them quickly enough.

And the government there encourages that and demands your guns
