We’re the Only Ones Unintentional Enough

Engel said that Malone was right-handed and as the officer smashed the victim’s vehicle window with the baton in his right hand, the firearm in his left hand discharged with a bullet striking Poulin. “There was no intention to pull the trigger,” Engel said. [More]

Is “the firearm… discharged” anything like “the gun went off“?

Funny… every time I’ve practiced weak hand shooting it hasn’t made me forget Cooper’s Rules. Then again, I’ve never had the professional training to assess a situation dangerous enough to draw a gun on a suspect with that hand, either.

Unless you’re a Demanding Mom. Then you don’t need facts.

UPDATE

The shooter, Audrey Hale, 28, of Nashville, identified as transgender and had no previous criminal record, according to the chief. [More]

Now that’s a real “progressive” windfall– they can say the shooter fit the profile of being a white male…

And with a “commonsense gun safety” mom…?

Nothing a ‘Vigil and Unity Walk’ Won’t Cure…

On Friday, March 24, Richmond detectives confirmed charges were filed for a 14-year-old boy in connection to Mitchell-Nash’s death. The charges include involuntary manslaughter, reckless handling of a firearm, discharge of a firearm within an occupied dwelling, grand larceny of a firearm and underage possession of a firearm. The boy is already in custody in another jurisdiction on unrelated charges, according to police. [More]

“A firearm stolen from a vehicle”…?

Maybe the owner had to go into one of those prohibited places the pals of Jorge are so insistent on mandating…

Speaking of ‘Debunking’…

To debunk MAGA’s “insurrectionist” theory of the 2nd Amendment, just read the Constitution. Everywhere it rejects insurrection, including in the 14th Amendment which bans insurrectionists from ever holding office again. The Constitution does not provide for its own destruction. [More]

True. It provides for its restoration after oath-breaking insurrectionist officeholders push the people beyond their limits of tolerance, all with an understanding at the time of ratification informed by the Declaration’s insistence “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Then again, what else would you expect a born-and-bred Marxist agitator to argue?

Cleanup on Aisle Four…

Arizona Family Dollar employee charged with murder after firing 10 shots at shoplifter who punched him – Arizona police say the Family Dollar employee acknowledged the shooting was ‘egregious’ [More]

Well, by talking to the police he’s effectively sabotaged his own defense that fists are deadly weapons, and that, combined with sudden and unfamiliar incident stress and fear, triggered his response — just like can happen with professionally trained Only Ones.

Bullet Points

‘The city… will remain on lockdown until all 653 bullets are found,’ a resident of the northern province of Ryanggang, where Hyesan is located, anonymously told RFA’s Korean Service. [More]

Now that’s some “commonsense gun safety,” right there.

I wonder how many suspects, associates, and family members have been tortured and executed — so far…

And yeah, “bullets. We get it.

97percent Deception

It also adopted a new test for Second Amendment cases. Gun laws today must be consistent with the laws that existed when the Second Amendment was adopted in the late 17 hundreds. This means that gun regulations will be assessed according to their conformity with laws that were in place during the 18th and 19th centuries. [More]

The 19th Century is not ” the late 17 hundreds.” I’ve been telling you these people were liars. These “kinder, gentler” citizen disarmament Astroturfers want us to believe “equal protection” means we’re now all subject to post-Civil War Black Codes introduced by Democrats a century after the Founders ratified the Bill of Rights.

“Our side” participating lends them underserved “credibility.”
