The Wrong Question
Is our justice system still capable of deterring killers? [More]
It never was.
What deters us from killing has always come from within. What deters killers is the same thing that deters all predators.
Is our justice system still capable of dealing with killers?
Increasingly the system results in anything but justice, and no, it’s up to the individual to have the means, the judgment, the training, the will, and the presence of mind afterward to not do or say anything to trigger the ever-dangerous state to turn on him.

When Fractions of a Second Count
The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones. [More]
Second time this morning I’ve channeled my inner Family Guy…

Unbalanced Books
“This epidemic is costing our nation $557 billion annually,” says Sarah Burd-Sharps, research director at the gun control advocacy group. “Looking at the economic consequence offers a wider lens for understanding just how extensive — and expensive — this crisis is.” [More]
Oh, heck, it costs a lot more than that if you add how the overwhelming majority of perps have been subsidized parasites to predators from cradle to grave.
Funny though– they never seem to want to factor in benefits accrued through lives saved by defensive gun uses…

A Shotgun Approach
“Apart from his intent to only perhaps just get the bad guys, a shotgun doesn’t have a brain. It’s going to fire when it’s triggered. [More]
So they admit blaming guns is wrong?
And as for firing a shotgun and having no brain…

Cowardly DSM apparatchik Lawrence O’Donnell spreads the fear-mongering message that “Resistance is futile.” [Watch]
The scenario he presents of armed teachers congregating in the hallway is hardly the only option, nor even a tactically sound or likely one. And his solution is apparently to have “Only Ones” afraid to face one guy with an AR-15 go after the untold millions he wants to ban.

A Quik Question
A customer stepped in to stop an armed robber holding a knife to the clerk’s neck. The suspect charged at the customer, who fired four times and killed the suspect. [More]

Anybody know their policy? Because here’s what happened when an unarmed customer was attacked by a predator…

We’re the Only Ones Incredulous Enough
“He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun,” Ison said, adding that Dicken is “very proficient” and “tactically sound,” despite having no known police or military training. [More]
I, too, marvel that a mere “civilian” performs at the level of those who can fire 50 rounds and get a “B-“!

Aspiring Breathers is Fine, Too

Employee shoots, kills suspect who was robbing SW Houston gun store – Houston police said the suspect entered Carter’s Country with a ‘bladed object’ and went straight to the cash register and started taking money. [More]
