The Thai that Binds
Last month, after a 14-year-old boy gunned down six people with his grandfather’s pistol at school in central Thailand, Kanyaphat Kanphuwanan, the director of a high school in Bangkok, imagined a similar horror unfolding on her own campus. [More]
We’re the Only Ones Self-Defending Enough
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…

Great Expectations
We’re the Only Ones Reminding Enough
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:
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]
The university’s employees, students, and volunteers are prohibited from carrying, maintaining, or storing a firearm or weapon on any university property.
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]

Blinding Us with ‘Science’

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.
Summit County Fair’s Enclosed Entrance Ratchets Up Visitor Disarmament
By requiring all attendees to enter via a newly built enclosed exhibit hall, fair management is essentially saying, “Hold our beer. [More]
I may go just to establish standing.
A Child-Like Reaction
Georgia first grader with autism suspended for biting sandwich into shape of gun [More]
Juvenile overreactions continue. The biggest bullies have always been “liberal” teachers and administrators.
It’s not like there are adult minds running the schools who would know how to rationally handle situations like this like a grown-up.

It’s a Mall World After All
At least one person was shot and another was detained Saturday after authorities responded to reports of an active shooter at Deerbrook Mall in Humble, Texas. [More]
Don’t people read Codes of Conduct anymore…?
Examples of specific activities that are prohibited include but are not limited to…No firearms or illegal weapons…
Think mall management would sign one of these?
A Sensitive Subject
Celebrations across New York City were marred by mayhem and violence, including gunshots in Times Square that the NYPD told Fox News Digital left a 17-year-old wounded. [More]
What…? In a sensitive area…?
Can’t These People Read Rules?
Multiple people wounded in shooting at South Carolina’s largest mall, authorities detain suspects [More]
Who thinks they’ll be surprised when the suspects are ID’d?
Haywood Mall, eh? A Simon Mall…
At some point, some ambulance chaser’s gonna figure out “knew or should have known”and claim his client wouldn’t have been damaged if the code of conduct would have allowed him the means of self defense…
