Notes from the Resistance
Colton Lexus, 30, was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly shooting a man who was kicking his apartment door in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. [More]
Why? That’s a pretty deranged, aggressive and scary action, and it seems a pretty reasonable assumption that if the kicker had succeeded he’d have been a danger to those he could now reach.
Besides, the resident was just following the recognized Gun Safety President’s expert home defense advice.

Yet Gannon’s defense attorney, Stephen Colella, described Hayes as “someone who, allegedly attending a peaceful rally, saw fit to bring a semiautomatic weapon and 20 rounds, and a person who has, in fact, attended similar rallies in the past similarly armed”… [More]
Yeah, to keep hotheaded lunatics like your 32-year-old buttwad client from attacking his 47-year-old target peaceably exercising his First and Second Amendment recognized rights with potentially lethal force.
This you, Stephen…? I ask not just because of the rather unique name and the same state, but also because of similar seedily manipulative approaches to the law…

Houston man being robbed by children on Christmas shoots them, injuring 3 [More]
At lease we know who was naughty. Or would, if keeping the identities of young predators from the victim pool weren’t policy…
On the bright side, it’s a Christmas present for the prohibitionists, who get to add these child shootings to their “gun violence” stats…

Based on their own propaganda, the grabbers would rather have seen her brutally slain than have a gun in the house. Preferably shot to death so they could add to their one-sided “statistics”…
I’m reminded of a line I used years ago that shows the difference between them and we whom they brand as paternalistic throwbacks:
What a rabbit you seem compared to the free and confident armed women whom secure and trusting men cherish and admire.
Good ones are out there. To find and then hold onto one, first be true to yourself.

A Bronx bodega worker who allegedly shot an armed robber with a gun he “found” in the store’s bathroom is facing criminal charges — but advocates are calling him a hero. [More]
What kind of real fascists would bring up and pursue charges?
If I were on that jury I’d find him extra not-guilty just for creativity.

A food vendor with a Concealed-Carry License shot and killed a man who pulled a gun on him Friday night, Chicago police said. [More]
Snuffy, of course, would rather the vendor be killed than armed.
He’s lucky Garry McCarthy is no longer the supe…

Neighbors defend St. Louis firefighter charged for firing weapon [More]
Too bad he told on himself.
The neighbors know the “authorities” won’t protect them and this is ripe for being capitalized on.

The Second Amendment references a militia, “the security of a free State,” and two specific rights–the right to possess arms and the right to carry them–and all of this is bound together by a general, overarching right to self-defense. To put it simply, the Second Amendment is multi-faceted. [More]
True enough.
And ignoring core purpose, which so many do, is a grave mistake.

The final night of a five-week citizens academy produced by the DEA St. Louis Division included a simulated “shoot – don’t shoot” scenario. “It takes literally a quarter of a second to get shot,” said Laura Bethany Strong, a St. Louis area resident after completing the simulation. [More]
And Laura doesn’t have a problem with someone who would do that being the only one with a choice?

There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes. Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense. Civilians are 85% more likely to use a firearm for defense than to be murdered by one. [More]
[Insert name of gungrabber here] would rather you be murdered than armed. Preferably by someone with a gun, to bolster their numbers.

And every one of the thwarted perps ends up mourned and memorialized alongside past victims.
