We’re the Only Ones Criminal Enough

Unless you’re a career criminal, we’re pretty much conditioned not to do what needs to be done, and probably screwed if we do.

Switch Hitter

According to charging documents, Kenny Edwards, 24, is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of an illegal weapon and resisting arrest. Prosecutors allege Edwards, a convicted felon, was carrying a Glock 20 pistol equipped with an auto-sear switch, a device that allows the gun to fire fully automatically. [More]

Questions: If they knew he couldn’t be trusted with a gun, why was he let out, and why should his inability to responsibly exercise his rights be a burden with terrible risks and severe consequences on me?

We’re the Only Ones Buying Back Enough

A Westchester County police bigwig’s bust for allegedly driving her son to a botched gang drive by in the Bronx has Democrats running for cover — and Republicans saying I told you so. Ex-Mount Vernon Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lackard is facing attempted murder charges in the shocking June 29 shooting, but prominent Democrats in the region are staying mum and refusing to condemn the disgraced cop because the suburban city is a coveted party stronghold. [More]

This is interesting: I compared her department portrait to the woman on the left beaming over a table-full of “gun buyback” bounty and got this result:

I trust Mount Vernon PD can account for all guns collected…?

My Kind of Town

When someone is shooting in the park, nobody is looking at the race of the shooter. People are screaming, “That’s the shooter, that’s the shooter!” [More]

No, that’s the trigger puller.

The revolution will never be complete if we can’t get the language right.

As for the disparity in reactions, you can get a lot more mileage out of it if it’s a white trigger puller and Black victim.

Forget it, Jake…

Feeding the Destroyers

This is what’s wrong with Minnesota, generally. It’s why Somalis collected millions of dollars in fraudulent benefits. The state is so liberal, so generous in terms of giving out various kinds of welfare, that it naturally attracts scum, including criminals from Chicago who move there and get ridiculous “affordable housing” subsidies. Taxpayer subsidies to support a public menace… [More]

See? This is why Minnesota Democrats need to ban your guns.

Devil’s Benefits

An MS-13 gang member convicted in a savage execution-style murder is out of federal custody in California after a federal judge ordered his immediate release, igniting fury from the Trump administration. U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta ordered the release of David Antonio Aviles Perez, 35, aka “the witch,” after finding that immigration officials held him for five months without giving him a bond hearing or determining whether he posed a danger to the public or a flight risk. [More]

From the “We hold these truths to be self evident” file: He checks both boxes off that last bit, and I note they’re both couched as “or,” not “and.” As for the first bit, we do want to make sure the government dots i’s and crosses t’s, but that said, the immigrant judge has made it clear which side her “discretion” lands her on.

Oh, look: Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski broke with the Rs and voted to confirm her.

Blame the Tools

According to court records, Johnson was in the process of being evicted from the Loring Towers on East Grand Street. Court documents allege a pattern of behavior from Johnson, ranging from engaging in loud arguments with others, walking around the premises with a firearm openly displayed, and making statements to neighbors that he would kill someone. [More]

So, in other words, it’s the gun’s fault.
