Gun-Free School Zone Act Challenge: Ninth Circuit Reverses Montana Indictment [More]
It’s a good first step, but there’s still a journey.
Dissenting Judge Schroeder sounds like a real peach.
Notes from the Resistance
The Lansing School District announced that the child will face “disciplinary action” for his bravery. Why? Because the district’s beloved “zero tolerance” policy doesn’t distinguish between a kid wielding a gun and a kid taking it away to save lives. [More]
It’s statement says reports are selective and there are other unreported circumstances privacy policy will not let them disclose, so out of deference to due process and judging facts I’ll suspend my bias against Democrat public school teachers and administrators, and withhold a verdict until more is known. Which is more than many of them would do for me.

South Dakota Democratic lawmaker switches registration to Republican – South Dakota Rep. Peri Pourier indicated that the key pillars of the GOP line up ‘with the principle of tribal sovereignty’ [More]
Whaddya know, she’s not a kneejerk gungrabber:
Pourier says school gun bill protects children… “As a mother, I worry about school shootings every day. So, I have to explain to everyone why did I vote for this bill. I’m gonna tell you if there was a school shooting in Wanblee, South Dakota, it would probably take more than an hour to respond.”
Seems pretty commonsense to me…
Congressman Massie Introduces Bill to Repeal Federal Gun-Free School Zones Act [More]
Sixth time since 2015’s a charm?
Unfortunately, out of all those “pro-gun” Republicans there are only 13 co-sponsors and the prognosis says there’s a “1% chance of being enacted.”
Funny, how our best-Second-Amendment-president-ever’s primary concern is getting rid of Massie...
Even funnier that the NRA tried to torpedo him.

Fun fact about Charlotte’s transit system – you aren’t allowed to concealed carry even with a permit. They have no security on the train or buses, but you aren’t allowed to protect yourself. [More]
Look at everything they equate it with:

Kinda makes you not want to take the train even if they don’t let feral savages on… although, in truth, who else would you need to tell not to do some of this stuff (not that the ones who need to be told would ever listen)?

So, no Democrat wants to offer an alternative?
Randi Weingarten says “Tough. I will not allow it. Deal with it.”

Good, but will the state appeal? And when when are they going to suffer punitive damages?
Not that any of it comes out of the pockets of those responsible…

These lands belong to the people, and the people have the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
As Commander-in-Chief, this would be an easy and very popular fix with gun owners. Republicans facing midterms and “gun rights” groups take note how this would benefit you and get behind this now.
Ohio officials are reminding educational, religious and nonprofit institutions across the state to consider a range of safety-related resources and funding opportunities. [More]
No, of course the one thing that will work isn’t included.

Democratic lawmakers propose campus gun ban to improve safety at Wisconsin colleges [More]
Because nothing says “No Predators Allowed” like Gun-Free Zones!
I don’t suppose Wisconsin Democrats would also require these and have the Party indemnify schools found liable to pay out?

I guess we could ask Kelda…

So… a new category of “Only Ones“…?
That’s not a FASTER requirement, and the program’s been working great.
It’s not a 2A requirement, either.
I gotta get this serial administration cheerleader some pom poms.
Related UPDATE
Fortunately, there’s a Constitutional alternative:
H.R. 5066: Safe Students Act – To repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and amendments to that Act.
If at first you don’t succeed…
Unfortunately:
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is kicking off the new school year with safety as its top priority and a new layer of security. The school district announced that it will begin implementing its weapon detection screening program at school board regular business meetings. [More]
Because nothing says “safe spaces” like a “gun-free zone”!
And if an armed maniac decides to go through the detectors guns blazing…?
No comment from the Lairds…?

Another Mass Shooting in a ‘Gun-Free Zone’ – The Minneapolis killer made the point in his manifesto. The media insist on ignoring it. [More]
Dr. John Lott and Rep. Thomas Massie acknowledge a reality that blood-dancing Democrats don’t want Americans to be exposed to.
“The shooter was obsessed with the idea of killing children,” Thompson said. “The shooter saw the attack as a way to target our most vulnerable among us. While they were at their most vulnerable at school and at church. I won’t dignify the shooter’s words by repeating them. They are horrific and vile. But, in short, the shooter wanted to watch children suffer.” [More]
The most vulnerable and precious among us, the future, and Democrats don’t want to let us protect them from monsters of their creation…
We all know how the Dems will react. But, what will Trump do? [More]
This. He’s not stupid. He won’t do more.
Which means he won’t promote this.
