Notes from the Resistance
Tennessee high school shooting: 1 killed, 1 wounded, teen gunman dead of self-inflicted gunshot: police [More]
The liars at Giffords blame this:
Tennessee doesn’t have:
❌Universal background checks
❌Gun owner licensing
❌Large capacity magazine ban
❌Waiting periods
❌Community violence intervention funding
❌Lost and stolen firearm reporting
There are actually morons who believe them.
Gun-detection technology has been installed at more than 200 Utah schools… “The test will involve a representative from ZeroEyes, wearing a safety vest and carrying an Airsoft rifle and an Airsoft pistol,” meant to be visible to security cameras inside and outside an unspecified number of Ogden schools, the notice reads. [More]
So, all you need is a trench coat…?
And this promises to be every bit the boondoggle as ShotSpotter…?
I guess when there’s money to spend, actual effective solutions can be avoided.
On the plus side, it ought to give school resource officers plenty of options for hunkering down…

You’re looking at the new Global Studies teacher… [Watch]
Well, that didn’t last long:
Teacher arrested after threat that shut down NJ school district, police say…
I wonder what he said on his YouTube channel and if the school district knew about it.
If they take down his Facebook reel I recorded it with my phone camera because they say if it’s someone else’s reel it will be muted and I didn’t trust a third-party app.
Unlike in the land of the Second Amendment, where gun prohibitionists who demand avoidance and ignorance label themselves as “commonsense gun safety advocates,” the training is embraced by educators, politicians and parents. [More]
Compare and contrast to ignorant and cowardly anti-gun “educators” here…
Homeowners in Irving initially came up with the idea of shooting and killing the pigs, but then realized they should not be firing a gun at the animals in a suburban neighborhood. “My first thought was, like, well, I can go shoot them,” Mendez said. “But I’m like, yeah, I’m in a neighborhood. I can’t just go out there and start blasting.” [More]
No, not just “blasting,” but then again, what qualified hunter would characterize it that way? Would he say the same thing if it was a feral human threatening him, and settle for “slingshots and clapping two pieces of wood”?
As long as Cooper’s rules are adhered to, what’s the problem? Who died and made this guy the arbiter of appropriate responses to be selected for national amplification?
Costco defends DEI program as other major retailers drop controversial diversity push [More]
That’s bad enough but irrelevant to the reason I won’t join the one that opened just down the road:
At Costco, we don’t believe it’s necessary to bring firearms into our warehouses, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace.
Money that enriches their billionaire chairman enabled Obama and Biden to undermine RKBA. Not that oblivious/disinterested American consumers mind.
Besides, look how much they saved on eggs!
A coalition of gun-rights groups is arguing that a federal appeals court should overturn a conviction of a Billings man who appeared to be menacing an elementary school from across the street as he walked around his property, often with gun in hand. [More]
“Appeared to be” is very different from “was,” and the case could be made that hoplophobic snitches should not be the arbiters.
Once this is over, it would be interesting to see everything it took to get ATF’s Dustin Stroble to insert his snout into this. It appears Metcalf initiating contact with the FBI broke a cardinal rule.

Barnes also addressed speculation online that the shooter was transgender in response to a question, but he stressed how the shooter’s identity was not important. [More]
It looks like I’m not the only one…

This afternoon on the elementary playground, a young student managed to access the Student Resource Officer’s secured firearm and discharge it within the SRO’s holster into the ground. [More]
Another reason why highly trained police officers should be the “Only Ones” armed in “gun-free zones,” right?
Did he have his bodycam on?
And whatever happened to this bill that would have required:
The personal body camera shall be continuous in its operation while the peace officer is in the performance of his or her duties and shall be worn in such a manner that all audio and video images of his or her contact with any person is digitally recorded.
Anybody up on what the law currently says on that?

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

Law enforcement official accidentally shoots himself on campus of Lead Hill School District… Richey says the man is a licensed law enforcement professional and is legally authorized to carry a firearm on campus. [More]
The old Lee Paige excuse is a classic.

Mentally ill Calif. school shooter fired at kids as ‘countermeasure’ for US involvement in ‘genocide of Palestinians’ [More]
“[A] long history of mental health issues, alarming criminal behavior, and past stints in prison,” eh?
And let’s hear if for California gun laws!

A Georgia cop who once won “Deputy of the Year” was arrested and charged with DUI last week after he tried to drunkenly direct traffic outside of an elementary school — despite there being no cars in the area, according to police officials. [More]
While presumably armed. So, I take it the badge exempted him from the 1,000-foot rule that he would have been empowered to arrest you or me for “violating”…

High school student arrested after allegedly showing gun on school grounds… The teen is facing a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, though more charges may follow… Police were unable to locate the gun [More]
What gun…?
The only way I can see charges sticking is if he’s dumb and scared enough not to keep his mouth shut, which I suspect they’ve built their case around.

Before the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSA), only two notable mass shootings had occurred on school campuses. Since the passage of this legislation, many Americans can name over ten incidents without needing to research. [More]
“Safety” is just the excuse. It always has been.
Citizen disarmament freaks have bloood on their hands. Don’t let it be your children’s.
Missouri sees 125 school threats since July… “We have been doing training in conjunction with the district. We call it AVERT training. [More]
Definition 1 seems appropriate.

Georgia high school shooting: Injuries reported, one suspect in custody, sheriff says [More]
Blood dancing to ensue.
At least 4 killed. 30 injured.
A suspect is in custody who is of student age
State Fair of Texas upholds gun ban despite lawsuit from Attorney General Ken Paxton… “The State Fair of Texas will continue to prioritize providing a safe and secure environment for our millions of fairgoers, as well as our staff, vendors, and volunteers,” said a spokesperson. [More]
Because “there’s no safer rides than carnival rides“!
And no safer locales than “gun-free zones”!

The pages that have been released reveal how transgender ideology fueled her mental anguish and how this dangerous ideology twisted her mind, driving her toward violence. This is why the left didn’t want her manifesto released. [More]
Anybody see public schools slowing down on grooming pressure?

A Galveston, Texas, jury on Monday found the parents of a teenager who shot and killed 10 classmates at Santa Fe High School in 2018 not liable for the violence, ending an unusual civil trial. Family members of the shooting victims and survivors accused Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Kosmetatos of being negligent in allowing their son, Dimitrios, to obtain weapons from their home and for not warning school officials or police about his deteriorating mental state. [More]
It’s a sure bet the sick little coward who didn’t have the guts to kill himself can’t make good on the $330M. And prior settlement or no, I wouldn’t want to own Lucky Gunner about now…
Curious– the people who mandate gun-free zone killing fields have no liability.

Harris looked at the AFT audience and said, “While you try to create safe and welcoming places where our children can learn, extremists attack our freedom to live safe from gun violence. They have the nerve to tell teachers to strap on a gun in the classroom.” [More]
Don’t look for her to ever be publicly confronted with the truth.
