Fare Shot

A North Carolina bus driver in the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) was fired after surveillance video showed him shoot an alleged armed attacker on the bus. [More]

In other words, the Democrat bureaucrats who run things would rather the driver had been killed than armed.

Ransom Paid

Polymer80, the nation’s largest producer of at-home gun assembly kits — sometimes called “ghost guns” because they typically come without serial numbers and are impossible to trace — agreed to pay $5 million in penalties to settle a civil suit, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office.

Now look for every other shark out there to smell blood in the water.

And I’m Proud To Be an American Where At Least I Know I’m Free

U.S. Government Now Confiscating Private Legal Fund Donations to Jan. 6 Defendants [More]

How is that not unmasked tyranny?

And why are they evidently so confident that Americans are going to continue putting up with it?

Oh, and good points about Trump.

Random Links

I ran out of time today– here are some tips from Bondmen that I just couldn’t do individual posts with commentary for:

Daily Defense

I’ll be joining Armed American Radio’s Mark Walters this afternoon at 4 Eastern. I’m sure we’ll talk about something, probably even about guns and freedom, and the evil degenerates and their useful idiots that are against either.

Go to the AAR website to listen or watch via live streaming, or to find a station near you.

Gaslighting with Joe

Hogsett plans to go before the City-County Council and propose a ban on semi-automatic weapons and ending permitless carry in Indianapolis. [More]

No doubt inspired by last month’s non-bloodbath, where almost 80,000 gun owners proved that being simultaneously armed and peaceable is no problem for anyone smarter and more moral than a Hogsett supporter.

It’s Not About Guns

New research shows the death rate among young people from gun violence rose with the increasing level of social vulnerability within the communities where the incidents occurred, regardless of whether a state’s gun laws were more permissive or restrictive. [More]

You don’t say.

“Gun laws alone” implies they’ll work in tandem with other centralized collectivist controls, which will only make everything worse.

“Social vulnerability” implies that personal failures are due to “systemic injustices” of a society with expectations for individual responsibility and accountability with commensurate incentives and deterrents, rather than the predictable and inevitable outcome of collectivist subsidizing of poor decision-making.
