The Eye of the Beholder

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.

We’re the Only Ones Unretentive Enough

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?

Shell Game

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.

We’re the Only Ones Professional Enough

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.

Must Be the Gun’s Fault…

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!

Slipping at the Blood Dance

Look at the comments. People aren’t buying it anymore.

We’re the Only Ones Road Hogging Enough

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”…

Ghost Gun

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.

We’re from the Government and We’re Here to Help

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.

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair!

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”!

It’s a Mixed Up Muddle In a Shaken Up World Except for Lola?

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?

Blame Apportioning

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.

She Lies Because She Knows She Can Get Away With It

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.

A Line in the Sand

[T]he Court will permanently enjoin Maryland’s laws restricting the carrying of firearms in locations selling alcohol for onsite consumption, private buildings without the owner’s consent, and within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration. State Defendants’ Cross Motions for Summary Judgment will be granted as to the Kipke Plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment claims, as well as the claims regarding: State Parks; mass transit facilities; schools and school grounds; museums; stadiums; healthcare facilities; government buildings; amusement parks; racetracks; and casinos… [More]

You can be trusted with your rights on this side of the line. On the other side, everything changes. Don’t ask us how or why, just accept that fact that if you disobey we may end up killing you.

Just Here for the Ratioing

So “Only Ones” can’t protect us…? And this evil little idiot’s solution is to not allow us to protect ourselves? And have them kill us if we don’t comply?

Because What Could Be Safer Than Utter Helplessness?

You see what they’re doing by throwing neighborhood gang shootings into the mix and leaving out schools. Lies, damned lies, and leftist ivory tower eggheads with an agenda: Is there anything they DON’T know?

What they can’t refute:

100% of school shootings occur in “gun-free zones.”

‘Always New’? Even When Old?

Mall of America now has a new way to keep shoppers safe. A new high-tech layer of security has been added after gun-related incidents in recent years. [More]

And privacy isn’t the only thing shoppers have to give up…

Hey, no one said taglines had to be true…

What reasons do we have for giving these people our money again…?
