It’s Your Funeral

“Lord you can’t even go to a funeral anymore,” a witness said. [More]

Tell me this isn’t the most compelling argument for disarming you and me you’ve ever heard.

Dimming the Lights

Prosecutors said Johnson was intentionally brandishing his weapon at five officers conducting rooftop surveillance, while the defense said he was only using his flashlight to see who was up there. [More]

Maybe he was, but all things considered, it sounds like he’s lucky they didn’t light him up.

Why this is a federal case is another matter altogether.

What Kind of Violence?

More than 30 people dead from gun violence over Memorial Day weekend across US [More]

Tell us about the lifestyles and choices of the people involved in committing the violence, and about what perpetuates, enables, and makes such outcomes inevitable.

No?   Just call it “gun violence” and act like disarming normal Americans will do anything but create a deeper victim pool?

Taker’s Remorse

Outside of the store, shortly before 3 p.m., an adult male confronted the individual, brandished a weapon and demanded the AR-15. The individual handed over the assault-style rifle, but then went to a vehicle and retrieved another gun. A shootout ensued. [More]

They’re kind of keeping details about the participants close to the vest…

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Rash Enough

Federal agents say four Polk County men were involved in a rash of armed robberies, all while pretending to be law enforcement officers. [Watch]

As I’ve continually noted, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.

The Butler Did It

Witnesses said Butler seemed agitated and left but returned to the complex shortly after, armed with an AR-15 style rifle, and started shooting at the crowd. Police said a woman pulled out her pistol, shooting and killing him… Court records showed Butler had been convicted of two felonies in the past, so he should have not had a gun. [More]

Fact: It would have advanced Shannon’s agenda had Butler prevailed.

Daddy’s Little Princess is All Grown Up

A man has been found guilty of fatally shooting a University of Wisconsin physician and her husband, who were the parents of his girlfriend, and leaving their bodies at the school’s arboretum. [More]

Let me guess: They didn’t “respect” Prince Charming because of their own character flaws and thus asked for it…?

Rank Amateurs

The FBI announced Monday that citizens stopped six active shooters in 2021, according to a report on active shooting incidents. [More]

Not enough professional training to know you’re supposed to take cover and strategize about waiting for backup, I suppose…

Blast from the Past?

Two teens arrested in ‘mass casualty’ plot targeting a Uvalde middle school – One of the students had numerous writings and drawings which depicted weapons capable of causing mass destruction. He wrote about being “God-like” and killing police and other persons. [More]

That’s from 2018.  I never have understood keeping extreme public danger reptiles like this anonymous due to age.

Anybody know what ultimately happened to them and where they are now?

UPDATE:

Then there’s this:

Uvalde CISD issued a statement on Thursday: Our school district is committed to the safety and education of all our students and we want to clearly communicate about safety issues when they arise. One of our Morales Junior High students was experiencing a crisis. Upon rendering aid and support, the student revealed a future plan to conduct a school shooting in the year of 2022…

I got that link from Google. I don’t see it on the Intenet Archive for 2018— rather, it shows as recent.  My guess would be some sick **** is playing us. Change my mind.

A Better Ending

69-yr-old Florida woman says she warned home invader to ‘back off dude’, but he didn’t. Now, he’s dead. [More]

Fact: Every single gun ownership and “stand your ground” opponent would rather she and her partner had been slaughtered in their home than armed.

Never Say Never Again

“The goal of this prosecution will be to permanently disarm this individual, and in fact, the greatest success that we can have in this case is for him to be a convicted felon, he can never possess firearms in this state again. [Watch]

Anybody see any flaws in that presumption…?

My Kind of Razzmatazz

Chicago Massacre Suspect Had Felony Record, Told Cops He ‘Had to Do It’ [More]

That’s probably the best argument for disarming you and me that I’ve ever heard, which says something sab0out all the others.

Here’s the real not-so-hidden danger:

[H]e got the Glock from a cousin via Indiana, and that the auto switch can be bought for about $20 on the street.

Count on the antis trying to use this to “reclassify” semiautos as machineguns.

And forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

We’re the Only Ones Too Late Enough

NYC woman calls 911 three times as she’s terrorized, slashed by ex-boyfriend, but cops don’t show up until next day [More]

What does that tell us about our national media, its priorities for promulgating useful knowledge, and its motivation for ignoring anything that doesn’t advance approved narratives that most people are unaware of this most basic of truths?

[Via bondmen]

Lies, Damned Lies…

But this “guns first” approach ignores a basic fact – over 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms. Although Biden blames guns for the increase in violent crime, the latest data show that gun crimes fell dramatically. [More]

It’s almost like they have a hidden agenda or something…
