FBI Using AI To Stop School Shootings; Doomers Want It Paused [More]

Real doomers are the ones who mandate schools be “unarmed”gun-free” predator empowerment zones.

This new Trump-inspired dismissive mob arrogance against and ridicule of exercising appropriate cautions before unleashing a force no one can truly claim to understand is insulting and a turnoff, and a really stupid and obnoxious stance to take, especially right before the midterms.

I’ll have more to say in an article I’m formulating.

There’s a Higher Precedent

But what’s interesting is the judge … here … basically says, “Yeah, I’m going to follow the Second Circuit rulings against the Second Amendment, but they’re probably not long for this world because they’re probably all going to be overturned by the United States Supreme Court.” [Watch]

I’m not sure I’d use the word “interesting.”

“Cowardly”…?

“Contemptible”…?

Cause for Alarm

Metal Detectors Come to Willis High School Amid String of Gun and Bomb Incidents [More]

Let’s assume a human confirmation is needed to signal a school-wide lockdown lest false positives continually disrupt everything.

Say the alarm goes off on the one who triggers it immediately starts shooting.

How long will it take armed intervenors to arrive and then find and confront him?

Everything but the obvious…

Minority Report

Talaricogiffords

Talarico: Police in Schools Make Students ‘Less Safe,’ Harms ‘Black and Brown Students’- Unearthed audio reveals the Democrat U.S. Senate nominee arguing against adding more police officers and guns to schools. [More]

When he says “Gun-Free Zone,” he means “Gun-Free Zone”! He demands the most precious lives among us be undefended from ravenous monsters– under force of law.

And if that’s true in schools, it must be true everywhere. In Everytown.

Face it, if you own a gun, you’re racist.

This is what Giffords and the other grabber groups are really endorsing.

Records Request Seeks Details on Summit County Fair Visitor Disarmament Mandate

Gun Free Zone No Guns Allowed iStock

Any written protocols or instructions provided to gate personnel or event staff regarding the routing and processing of vehicles or equipment that—by nature of their size or contents—cannot utilize the standard visitor entrance security scanners or bag checks. [More]

What data proves compelling interest? What about preemption? Are all citizens being (mis)treated equally?

We’re the Only Ones Self-Defending Enough

Timessquaresensitivearea

A knife-wielding woman stabbed two people in the heart of Times Square Monday afternoon before advancing on NYPD officers with two knives and being shot by police… [More]

See, the two mere citizen victims had their choices to do that taken away from them by “law.”

Brown-Nosers

Brown releases review on mass shooting, action plan; says it’s unlikely it could have been prevented [More]

Not without anybody able to shoot back it couldn’t have been…

Unfortunately, proximate cause, tort claims immunities for government schools, and sensitive places doctrine mean lawsuits for damages attributable to forced disarmament aren’t likely to go anywhere.

Time for More ‘Fair Shares’

Iryna Zarutska’s Family Sues City Of Charlotte Over Fatal Rail Stabbing, Claims Inadequate Security… According to the complaint, long before Zarutska boarded the train, the defendants “knew that violent crime had repeatedly occurred on and around the Blue Line and the Charlotte Transportation Center.” [More]

That’s OK– the productive sector can afford it. If this can get past the “no duty to protect” hurdle…

Skin in the Game

Ex-“Only One” out to make a few bucks… figures. And, of course, no mention of FASTER.

Now do one on teachers trying to put out a five-alarm fire and use that as justification to remove extinguishers.

What a dishonest presentation. Nobody’s asking them to play Bruce Willis clearing the Nakatomi Tower.

And nobody’s forcing a commitment on anyone. But you start infringing on individual choice to exercise Constitutionally – protected freedom under force of arms and you’ve told everyone whose camp you’re in. As have voices supporting that, using the false authority logical fallacy to mask the fact that anyone defending “gun-free zones” is an oath-breaking statist.

But you know who agrees with you on no guns in schools, Jason?

A Stark Reminder

Received via email:

Stark Co Fair

And remember, you will be doing these things at the Stark County Fair, a family-friendly community event with something for everyone. [More]

I asked them if they had something for me:

For the record, will I be able to lawfully carry a firearm there, including in enclosed buildings?

What is NRA doing about existing bans?

https://www.ammoland.com/2026/07/summit-county-fair-gun-ban-ohio

I’ll let you know if they reply.

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair!

According to Wisconsin Administrative Code, we do.

Ditto for Summit County Fair officials and complicit Ohio Republicans.

Sure have come a long way since Pat Boone, haven’t we?

‘Greater Happens Here’?

Virginia State University shooting: At least 5 injured, one critically – VSU says the shooting involved ‘multiple suspects’ near the Quad Annexes [More]

Yep, you know it:

The university’s employees, students, and volunteers are prohibited from carrying, maintaining, or storing a firearm or weapon on any university property.

Who don’t Democrats trust?

The whole damn state has learned nothing by maintaining “a very sound policy.”

UPDATE

Lockdown lifted. Unidentified perps at large. Feel safer yet?

Going Postal

Section 930(d)(3) of title 18, U.S. Code, permits the lawful carrying of constitutionally protected firearms in post offices that are generally open to the public. [More]

So, when’s the sign going down?

We could ask…

Fosters’ Freeze

A federal judge for the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Springfield Division, ruled without trial that foster homes and in-home daycare centers are sensitive areas and that guns can be regulated in these private residences. [More]

With “Only Ones” exempted , of course, because they’re demonstrably more trustworthy than you and me, no?

One of the arguments pre-born drawing and quartering trolls routinely pull on pro-life advocates is to chastise them for not stepping up and adopting, as if it’s their responsibility to make a lifetime commitment over the irresponsible choices of others, and as if that’s a better solution than holding people accountable for their own poor decisions. But in cases where some might be willing to step up, this just slams another barrier in their faces to discourage it, and also perpetuates the lie that is citizen disarmament, making both responsible adopters and dependent adoptees demonstrably less safe.

Figure, robed cud-chewer Sue Myerscough was unanimously confirmed.
