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.

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…

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.

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-“!

Florida sheriff says man will ‘absolutely not’ face charges for defending home with ‘AK-47-style’ gun [More]

Multiple home invaders…?

So they are suitable for home defense and those who say they aren’t– and those who happily give them megaphones to amplify their claims — are chronic and habitual LIARS?
