Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave…

It was determined during the investigation that McCoun had actually shot himself before going outside and firing several shots at his front door, finally calling police to report that he had been in a shootout with an unknown person. [More]

…when first we practice to deceive…

Dumbass.

After the Storm

Outages, road closures expected in Hudson due to broken trees and utility poles [More]

The power just came back on an hour ago after about 10 hours of being out. The National Weather Service alert from last evening said “severe thunderstorms” with “80 mph wind gusts,” and what I saw looked at least Category 1. I have a lot of trees on my property and so a lot of branches that need to be picked up, and found out about the big one after the fact– the storm was so intense we never heard it split off and fall.

I don’t claim to be a photographer, but at least my finger isn’t in any of these:

To give you an idea of the scale, the high point to the left is around 6′.

The split is about 20′ up.

Looks like it had some kind of internal rot going on that weakened where the separation started…

I expect productivity here will suffer as I deal with this. There are probably a lot of news tips I won’t be able to get to, so go easy on me.

‘Safety’ First?

I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
School safety
Mental health
Social media
Police training
Firearm safety [More]

OK, Governor, flesh out what you mean by that last one.

Turning the Tables?

Apparently, the artist originally wanted to ‘delve’ into the ‘unique and abysmal’ lives of gun owners in America, illustrating their fetishism with firearms… Oh sure, there are plenty of gun-grabbers shrieking and freaking out about these photos, but the number of Second Amendment enthusiasts and gun lovers LOVING the thread far outnumber them. [More]

Doesn’t matter. They’ve outed themselves and exposed themselves to whatever results from that.

Well, I’m Back

Time off was somewhat restorative, although we both picked up nasty colds that seem to want to stick around (not Wuflu, I tested myself). Getting back into the groove is going to take a bit and I’ve got articles to write and plenty of meatspace chores, so please take it easy on the news tips.

Hopefully, we’ll be fully operational next week.

Now…where to begin…?

New Digs, Same Old Attitude

Welcome to the new home for The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance. I came here because Blogspot, which I had happily used since 2005, decided to “unpublish” an innocuous piece with valid information that somehow ticked a censorship response, and I’m not about to put time into something that someone else can erase without even a means to contest it.

I’m learning how to use this site from scratch so please bear with me. Maybe I’ll get better as time goes by, but truthfully, I’m in this for the commentary and to promote my work, so the tech stuff will take a backseat.
