Bringing a Gun to a Gunfight

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.

My Kind of Razzmatazz

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.

14-year-old already arrested 18 times suspected in NYC scooter shootings [More]

But we can’t tell you this public menace’s name because…?

Let him out again. Seal his record. And when some “Only One” finally puts the feral aberration down, let the “mostly peaceful protests” begin!

Blaming the Victim

Car thefts have skyrocketed in St. Louis in recent months, with city leadership threatening lawsuits against Kia and Hyundai for an alleged defect that makes certain makes of the cars easier to steal. [More]

That these kleptocrat morons are “city leadership” tells us all we need to know.

Focus on the ‘Victim’

“The victim indicated she was working in her office when a man came into her office, grabbed her, dragged her into a basement, and raped her,” Stanford’s Department of Public Safety said in a statement. “The victim does not want to provide a statement to law enforcement about the crime at this time.” [More]

Here’s a surprise!

Stanford University prohibits the possession of any of the following weapons or dangerous items on the Stanford campus: firearm, dirk, dagger, ice pick, knife having a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches (except for lawful use in food preparation or consumption), folding knife with a blade that locks into place, razor with an unguarded blade, taser, stun gun, instrument that expels a metallic projectile (such as a BB or a pellet), spot marker gun (commonly known as a “paintball gun”), compressed air (airsoft) gun, or any other weapons prohibited by California Penal Code Sections 626.10 and 626.9.

Then again, aside from the absurd and wholly prejudicial “Believe Women” weapon that the left employs to try and derail Supreme Court nominees, and with campus hoaxes being all the fashion for decades now,  how do we know this even happened?

Spoiler Alert

Law enforcement arrived at Zeldin’s home to obtain security footage of the incident from their home cameras, he said. He added that his daughters were “shaken” by the incident and that crime has run rampant in the state of New York. [More]

Unlike Hochul, he doesn’t blame the guns.

Now he’s within 3 percentage points of her, which just weeks ago seemed impossible.

And guess who is polling at 3% and what his position is on “vibrant immigration” with “two Ellis Islands on the Southern border…”?

I don’t suppose he’d care to take a little challenge

We’re the Only Ones Cheesy Enough

“I would highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes into your home while you’re there to steal stuff, that you take your gun and you shoot him. You shoot him so that he looks like grated cheese,” Judd added. [More]

It sounds cute, and I’m seeing no shortage of this sentiment (NSFW), but I have to ask: What instructions has he given his deputies if that’s what they find when they show up?

I ask because with DGU trainers advising “Shoot to stop” and ambitious prosecutors ready to bring anything that looks like deliberate overkill in front of a grand jury to make an example, I’m thinking this is about as advisable as Joe Biden telling us to shoot off the balcony and through the door.

Only the “Only Ones” get to “empty the clip,” and that’s mostly so that one or two rounds might hit the intended target.

Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

A woman in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was charged with multiple felonies after she was accused of duct-taping, cutting and choking a man she met on Tinder, according to police. [More]

They say you shouldn’t blame the victim, but tell me he didn’t deserve it.

I’d bet money they’re both Democrats.

And if you scroll down, there’s more. What the hell is wrong with people?

A Confluence of Factors

The father of a man accused of fatally shooting a professor at the University of Arizona on Wednesday said his son is “disturbed” and has a violent criminal history. [More]

So why was this known danger out free to stalk among us?

And why was the professor such an easy victim?

Arizona Board of Regents Policies 5-302 and 5-303 prohibit the use, possession, display, or storage of any weapons, explosive device, or fireworks on the University of Arizona campus and on all land and in all buildings owned or under the control of the University of Arizona on behalf of the Arizona Board of Regents, except as provided in ARS §12-781. No concealed carry permit exempts a person from this policy.

Now there’s a group that looks like they’d make a monster think twice!

When Seconds Count

Ross says he held the suspect, 29-year-old Roy Ward, at gunpoint about half an hour until West Virginia State Police arrived and arrested him. [More]

What have we learned?

That said, with this happening outside the home, problematic legal issues arise.  Fortunately, normal American gun owners aren’t the bloodthirsty vigilantes the lying gun-grabbers smear us as.

Depradation Superhighway

Man ‘lucky to be alive’ after shot while driving down I-95 Thursday morning … Troopers say this is the second interstate shooting in the past five days. A girl was hospitalized after being shot on I-64 in Newport News on Saturday. [More]

And it’s happened before on that stretch…

It’s almost like someone has found they can get away with it …

More Equal Than Others

Prosecutors had asked for 7 years. No doubt they would have gotten it, were Paige a normal person. But since he goes around in women’s clothes, it would be transphobic to hold him accountable for his criminal behavior. [More]

Do you actually have to cut it off to get the pass or is just saying you self-identify enough?

Asking for a friend…

We’re the Only Ones Detained Enough

The indictment says Woodrow Massa, 66, participated in the arrest and detention of two people “despite the absence of an arrest warrant or probable cause,” denying the individuals their Constitutional right from unreasonable seizure. [More]

Not so fun on the other side of the table, is it, Woody? It must be pretty ironic knowing your only hope is if your captors violate the law worse than you did…

Philadelphia Story

What, you’ve never seen victims of systemic racism getting themselves a bit of restorative justice before?

Just remember: The real people at the top want it this way — for now.

Gun Violence Expert Speaks Out

“Why didn’t [Gutierrez Reed] check that bullet? Why didn’t Halls obey her?” Baldwin asked. “Why did he give me the gun? Why didn’t he check? Why did he tell the crew [it was a cold gun]? … I’m pretty confident neither one of them should ever work in a film set again,” he said, adding, “I sincerely believe … [investigators are] going to say that this was an accident. It’s tragic.” [More]

It was everybody else’s fault but the guy who shot a woman to death.

Nice to see Frances Fisher making excuses for him and blaming us

The fact remains
