It will get worse. And the usual suspects will continue to blame systemic racism and guns.

Go gun laws!
Funny, how they’re light on all the details that would show this is not your typical American household, but instead focus on the calculated misrepresentation and lie that “According to the CDC guns are the number one cause of death in American children.”
Oh, look: Children!
Alcoa man accused of selling more than 100 guns illegally after undercover investigation – Marsh was accused in the documents of not just selling guns illegally, but selling illegal weapons like machine guns. [More]

Texas congressman proposes DNA testing to determine illegal alien’s family ties to a minor [More]
How many millions is that going to cost us?
After the test, will they all still stay in this country living on the tax cows’ dime anyway, the adults who don’t escape their court dates in prison and the children awaiting the opening of that “pathway to citizenship”?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.”* And I have that on good authority.
I don’t suppose immediate return to Mexico with the message “These people are your problem” is in anybody’s cards…?
* I had to use an Internet Archive link– what happened to the Saviors…?
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 @$$?

“The Toronto Sun has learned Quebec police are investigating the possibility that the smoke creating poor air quality in southern Ontario and making downtown skylines disappear may have been the result of arson… This narrative has not made as many headlines — and is polar opposite to what the likes of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Environment Minister Steven Guibeault have been saying.” [More]
If you think they’re misdirecting now, wait ’til they find out the perp is one of their fellow environmentalcases or a “refugee”!

Intestacy laws establish an order of priority for the inheritance of a diseased person’s assets. If the courts accept their position, it would skirt state law, which generally considers materials such as the manifesto a record of public interest… [More]
All this legal hoop-de-doo continues to obfuscate and delay. I still want to know why a Nashville Council member said “The vast, overwhelming majority of it,’ presented too much of a danger to the public.”
But that would require principled leadership focused more on results than on scoring media points.
And that allows the blood dancers to keep the focus on guns.

“Having a US military background is the single-strongest individual-level predictor of whether a subject . . . is classified as a mass casualty offender,” the study by Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) said. [More]
What it doesn’t say is what commonalities offenders share before enlisting. It also presupposes risks are evenly distributed rather than concentrated into observable subsets.
I can’t help but make the seemingly unrelated analogies that violent crime is not widespread but concentrated, and Trump is so good at firing people because he’s so lousy at hiring them.

A California man who was caught on video pummeling a sheriff’s deputy and shooting at her with her own gun in 2019 was found not guilty of attempted murder and other charges by a jury, with the victim saying the decision sets a bad precedent for law enforcement. [More]

Not that morbidly obese men are any better.

I’d pay him more heed if his idea of a Republican to support wasn’t Mitt Romney, and if he hadn’t supported Carolyn B. Maloney, Charlie Rangel, and Jerrold Nadler, if he hadn’t put on a fundraiser in 2006 with Michael Bloomberg for Senator Joe Lieberman, and if he wasn’t a “longtime”, “loyal”, and “high-level Clinton donor.”
Sounds to me like when the tumbrels come, he’ll have earned his place.
