When Seconds Count

Texas Democrat James Talarico Said Having Police in Schools Fuels ‘Culture of Violence’ in Newly Resurfaced Audio [More]

Why is it every time I see this lunatic I picture Elliot Page?

If it ends up being between him and Cornyn, well, this is how the system keeps gunvoters in line.

And look what else Texans can elect. Good grief.

To Each According to Their Need

Zohran Mamdani’s NYC: Machete-Wielding Subway Attacker Was a Repeat Offender [More]

Well, if New York Democrats weren’t racist…

Say, does that “median household wealth” distinguish between those who work and those who don’t?

Behind Every Silver Cloud is a Dark Lining

The principal of Pauls Valley High School was injured on Tuesday afternoon when authorities said he tackled a gunman entering the school. Kirk Moore was shot in the leg and airlifted to the hospital. Authorities said his injuries were non-life-threatening. [More]

Good on him. He has my impressed respect.

That said, it’s a key gun-grabber argument for why stunted capacity magazine mandates are needed: so that someone else besides them will have time to tackle a shooter while he’s swapping mags.

When Seconds Count

As details emerged, students voiced concerns about their safety and the university’s response, calling for faster and clearer communication. Many expressed frustration with how Northeastern handled the incidents, saying they turned to social media and peers to fill information gaps left by delayed and sparse official alerts.  [More]

Everything but realize what they’re going to have to be prepared and able to do if they hope to have a chance when its their turn in the barrel, and then demand the right to do it while disregarding anyone who orders them “No.”

Of course, it’s easier to just stick your head in the sand and believe Ruben.

Who Will Guard the Guardians?

Florida Lawmakers Move to Allow ‘Guardians’ to Carry Guns on College Campuses [More]

I never did care for the sheepdog analogy, expecting someone else to take risks on my behalf that I’m not willing to assume myself. That’s what got us into their “Only Ones” mess in the first place.

As for me being one, I’m with Rick Blaine.

And as for listening to Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, I’m not about to take self-defense advice from a man who can’t even protect his own husband.

Sins of the Father

During the trial, the jury heard how Colin Gray had bought his son an AR-style rifle for Christmas the year before the attack, even though the boy had been questioned by police just seven months earlier about online threats to commit a school shooting. [More]

The AR reference is a bit of hyperbolic hand-wringing because there’d be just as much outrage over a Fudd gun being used, but there is a point here that merits discussion– when you know something is wrong and you enable it anyway, you do share culpability in outcomes.

Denial is one thing, and it’s understandable when admitting it can be so overwhelmingly devastating, but the fact that it is is your first clue. Those of us who have had to make tough decisions in child-raising that ultimately resulted in successful adult outcomes should thank God we were never faced with having to confront a child so broken he could not be fixed.

And if one of mine had been taken from me because his father was too weak to confront reality, I’d blame him, too.

Driven to Despair

But when asked for their thoughts on safety measures, cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer readers suggested that arming drivers wouldn’t matter. “It seems some people who own guns must get trigger happy,” another wrote. “If drivers are shot indiscriminately being armed won’t help.” [More]

Kinda explains why they get their “news” from the Plain Dealer…

But I will cede one point: You put your back to an assailant to impede turning around and returning fire and you’re definitely going to be at a disadvantage. So the title premise is right: It’s just not worth it.

Not that Johnny Cabs will be an improvement…

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

1 in custody, 1 injured, after shooting on campus of Mott Community College [More]

Doesn’t anybody read the rules anymore?

Acts Of Prohibited Conduct Include, But Not Limited To … possession or storage of any weapon … on college premises or at college sponsored activities either on or off campus.

So, what’s an attackee to do?

As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the shooter.

How, with those rules in place?

Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her.

Heck of a time to find out what’s possible.

Throwing items and improvising weapons.

As opposed to slinging lead with proven tools…

Yelling

Yo, killer, here I am!

Committing to your actions.

Trust me,. once you call attention to yourself, you’ll be committed.

Gun-Grabbers Demand More Defenselessness After Brown University and Australian Shootings

Efforts in USA and Australia to disarm potential victims continue after decades of failure [More]

Gun prohibitionists here, there, and everywhere don’t care how many people get killed by their monomaniacal demands for a forcibly disarmed populace.

That Oughta Do the Trick!

Brown University Taps DEI Official To Restore ‘Sense of Physical Security’ on Campus [More]

Because nothing sends monsters howling into the darkness better than woke effeminates.

Tell us you’re inviting more school shootings without telling us you’re inviting more school shootings.

We’re the Only Ones Caring Enough

Have the licensing officials ensured all gun rules for daycare been complied with, and do “Only Ones” exemptions apply if he’s not conducting official business?
