Shell Game

The deputy sheriff told school officials that J.S. had committed no crime by possessing spent shell casings. The youth, the deputy said, had done nothing wrong. However, the principal ignored the deputy’s claims and called the student’s parents, who arrived about 40 minutes later. The parents were told to take their child home and wait for a phone call.

That kid just got an education that’ll stick with him.

Unsound Thinking

Manhattan Shooter Used a Silencer. Nearly 5 Million Are Registered in the U.S. [More]

So, aside from the fact tht having or not having one would have made zero difference in the outcome, there’s a 0.000001% chance of them being used to kill?

So it figures Shannon Watts would be demanding to keep them … uh … suppressed.

I wonder what the odds are someone using products she did propaganda for would result in jury awards for cancer?

A Crisis of Faith

Trump Has ‘Lost Faith’ in N.R.A., Says Gun Group Official – In a new letter, an N.R.A. vice president said the troubled group needed to rebuild trust with Donald J. Trump and his inner circle. [More]

While I agree with him on William Brewer, there’s a saying about people in glass houses.

And speaking of rebuilding trust

Are his expectations for Gun Owners for Trump that they will be a valued sounding board and advisory group to keep him from going off half-cocked and saying/doing more stupid sh!+, or will he expect to just summon a few to publicly kiss his ring once in a while and then brag about their access to the president?

Speaking of Zero Tolerance…

Shooting range in SLO County to close at end of the month [More]

Based on the lame excuses given (some buildings not ADA accessible and youth shooting fees) it’s not like there are any significant safety or environmental factors warranting closure and this is just CDFW bureaucrats doing their anti-gun masters’ bidding.

Shuttting down training facilities to develop skills is the opposite of “commonsense gun safety.”
