If Only We Didn’t Have Rights…

Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti… “These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it’s through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that…” [More]

Why would they need to?

I notice how it is “international gangs” are in this country in the first place is left unexplored.

Better to let NBC News of rigged flaming truck notoriety blame DeSantis…

Dix: Representatives of People Who Resist Infringements Have a Lot of Gall Complaining About Crime

In addition to nullifying existing firearm regulations, the bill makes it even more difficult for officials to enforce gun laws. [More]

He says that like it’s a bad thing.

We’ve met Griffin Dix before:

A loaded chamber indicator on a Beretta 92 Compact L did not stop 14-year-old Michael Soe from feloniously killing 15-year-old Kenzo Dix during a practical joke. The fact is, Soe’s father left a loaded gun where an untrained, impulsive and judgmentally-challenged adolescent could find it. In their lawsuit, backed by CPHV, Dix’s parents maintained, among other charges, that the chamber indicator was inadequate because the gun was not inscribed with a warning as well. Presumably, were Beretta to do so, they would still be deemed negligent for not including such warnings in Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese and Tagalog.

We can sympathise with his loss. That does not give him a pass to attack our rights, and when he does, his motives shouldn’t lessen our response.

Another Reason to Sue Glock

Man just released from prison involved in shooting in St. Pete…Small was firing at people outside with a 9 mm Glock handgun with a 50-round drum for a magazine…a short time later he was spotted firing into a home in the 1600 block of 42nd Avenue South, where a blind elderly man lives…he ran off into a nearby lot on 40th St S. Small reportedly fired two rounds at the officer. [More]

There oughta be a law!

The Wrong Question

Because it’s really about something else.

Mr. Pynchon understands.

Sister Act

Man in ‘Scream’ costume fatally attacked neighbor with chainsaw, knife, paperwork says… In the report, police said they interviewed Moyer’s sister, who told them Moyer had been talking about killing Whitehead a week before the crime. [More]

What would you want to do if your loved one was killed and it turned out the perp’s family knew of the plot and did nothing to warn anyone?

How about at least some aiding and abetting charges?

We’ll Get There Fast and Then We’ll Take It Slow

A well-known politician in the Bahamas was fatally shot on Wednesday during an armed robbery, police said. Two gunmen opened fire on a group of people outside of an unspecified business establishment in a neighborhood near Nassau… [More]

Gomer…?

Firearms, ammunition, and other weapons are not permitted in The Bahamas. According to The Bahamas Firearms Act, individuals found to have a firearm or ammunition in their possession without a legally issued Bahamian gun license face a penalty of up to 10 years’ incarceration and $10,000 fine.

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama…

The Everytown island life isn’t for everybody.

It’s All in the Presentation

At least tell me they weren’t also “aspiring rappers“…

Assault Weapon-Operating Maniac Mows Down Innocents

Car plows into couple, killing wife, leaving husband devastated… He threatened to shoot a school, bomb a building and assault police. [More]

Even thnough the automatic murder weapon was a licensed and registered, there’s only one thing to do.

Sue themanufacturer. I’ll bet if you look up cars involved in fatal accidents and crimes, you’d also be able to identify “bad apple dealers.”

Proper Use of the Term ‘Assault Weapons’

Hanley detailed Soto’s violent spree that included stabbing and running over a mail carrier with a car, breaking into multiple homes and attacking three juveniles with a bat. [More]

And it took men threatening him with guns to get him to get the lunatic to act in rational self-interest and stop? I wonder if Rockford being mostly Democrat had anything to do with those men being “Only Ones” instead of neighbors…

Busting Morons for Headlines

A Cleveland man who made thousands of dollars by buying and selling guns used in shootings and homicides said little on Tuesday as a federal judge sentenced him to more than 11 years in prison. Kenneth Smith, 23, apologized for selling 32 guns to undercover federal agents in less than three weeks, netting $24,000. The guns had been used in 30 shootings, including several homicides. [More]

The rest of the story is paywalled and the only other thing I could find is he did all this while being a “prohibited person” himself:

KENNETH SMITH, 23, East Cleveland, was charged with Engaging in the Business of Dealing Firearms without a Federal Firearms License, Illegal Possession of a Machinegun, and being a Felon in Possession of Firearms.

It does raise the question why they needed to drag it out over 32 guns and three weeks when one sale could have done the trick, and for some reason a South Park bust comes to mind (NSFW).
