Incredible footage shows Florida sniper shoot hostage-holding bank robber through a computer monitor [More]
Looks like he had Rule 4 mastered.

Notes from the Resistance
“We’re here to talk about a roughly one-inch piece of plastic. It looks innocuous enough, a little like a LEGO or a k’nex block. But this one-inch piece of plastic is killing people,” said Leigha Simonton, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. “Machine gun conversion devices can turn Second Amendment-protected firearms into illegal weapons of war, and petty criminals into brutal killers. We cannot have our streets turned into war zones.” [More]
So the federal government has the authority to ban a one-inch piece of plastic– just like the Founders intended. And it’s killing people… does this broad ever listen to herself?
What the hell does Simpleton think “Second Amendment-protected firearms” were intended to be?

PURE EVIL: Ohio Woman Accused of Stabbing Mother and Her Three-Year-Old Boy to Death Smirks and Giggles as Charges Read in Court [More]
I wonder, when they eventually let her out, if they’ll be able to guarantee she can be trusted without a custodian. Or an exorcist.
I also wonder about the father.

Opinion: I study school shootings. Here’s what AI can — and can’t — do to stop them [More]
Fact: It can’t shoot back. (Yet.)
They all have expensive fire control systems, don’t they, even big ones are so rare as to be statistically insignificant?
You see where I’m going with this.

David Codrea calls some groups of people MREs, which in this context means Morons Ready to Eat, because there will be no other food… [Watch]
I had to go looking for that because it was over 10 years ago— funny, what some people retain…
In any case, what this is really about is Matt Bracken’s “Coffee and a Mike” interview to discuss his new book, Doomsday Reef. I haven’t read it (yet) but longtime readers will recall the enthusiastic thumbs ups I gave each entry in his Enemies trilogy, and in basically everything I’ve seen the guy involved in.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed the suit earlier this week, claiming the 1999 rule makes it illegal to “possess or control any firearm, gun or similar device at any time while on the waters, banks or shores that might be used for the purpose of fishing,” goes too far. [More]
Any infringement goes too far.
Then again, look who’s calling the shots, and remember that the next time the lying gun-grabbers tell you they’re gun owners who “respect” the Second Amendment — and then mention hunting.
Your turn in the barrel, Fudds…

I neglected to add three scans in the 2A Commas piece, now included as UPDATES at the end. I believe the index page to Jefferson’s Manual conveys an important original understanding of the amendment, as it emphasizes it to be a singular citizen’s right and omits any reference to the militia as a necessary qualifier.
So, in a way, having to go back and make up for my initial carelessness may have paid a dividend.
Ten people were injured in an early morning shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday. Madison Police Department said the victims range in age between 14 and 23 years old. [More]
How do you read something like that and not make certain assumptions, and when are they allowed?

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, his chief of staff Chip Hill, and Montgomery District Attorney Daryl Bailey blamed the crime wave on the legislature passing permitless carry. [More]
Because as we all know, that made it legal for prohibited persons to carry guns and victimize others.
Show me a gun-grabber who doesn’t rely on stupid people to get elected.

Hostage Rescue Brings Out the Worst in the Worst People on Earth [More]
Realizing that “Among the hostages believed to be held in Gaza are five unaccounted-for U.S. citizens as well as the remains of three other American citizens,” also realize that reps like Ilhan Omar are siding with foreign terrorists against American citizens.
That and by parroting his position, they’re what they accuse us of being, “Putin puppets.”

Father of Four Executed as Gunman Indiscriminately Fires at Random Cars in Gun-Controlled California [More]
He was on his way home after working the night shift to provide for his family when this worthless waste of oxygen decided to kill. I’m thinking it’s no coincidence that so far, “background details on the suspect were unavailable.”

I’ll bet there’s a direct correlation.
