An Inconvenient Truth

Michigan Court: University Firearms Ban ‘Consistent With the Second Amendment’ [More]

Maybe not with the Second Amendment, but inconveniently, consistent with Jefferson and Madison. Evidently, they wanted to minimize dueling.

What the crowing antis don’t tell us is that the rule was not a law with criminal penalties, but instead, violations could result in “minor punishments at the discretion of the Faculty, or of the board of Censors, approved by the Faculty.”

Still, if we’re talking historical context, I’m not seeing a way around this “Gotcha!” except to make a different argument entirely.

That said, if anyone does see a way around it, that’s why we have “Comments” here.

From Chicago to Cheyenne

“Uvalde? Small town. VA Tech? Small college town. Newtown? Small New England town. Parkland? Small town that had just been voted Florida’s safest town. Most mass shootings occur in small towns,” Packnett Cunningham wrote, tagging Aldean. “Your listeners are dying,” she criticized. [More]

All operated under big city predator empowerment zone edicts that ensured a defenseless victim pool where seconds counted and help was minutes away…

Despite Obama’s admission about Cheyenne.

And all anomalies where the final count was equivalent to one hot weekend in Chicago…

We’re the Only Ones Acquitted Enough

Then-Parkland school resource officer who stayed outside during mass shooting found not guilty [More]

And they say he ran away…

I’m not a coward! I’m not a coward!

Too bad he also channels it by demanding his countrymen be disarmed.

Console Yourself

An administrative law judge Tuesday said a teacher should keep his job after the St. Lucie County School Board moved to fire him for leaving an AK-47 rifle on the center console of his truck in a school parking lot. [More]

The ideal should be an America where you could do that with the windows down.

The reality is he’s lucky the “Only Ones” didn’t freak out on him.

Good Only One with a Gun

The Texas Legislature has approved and sent to Gov. Greg Abbott a bill that would require school districts to have an armed officer on every campus… [More]

Like they had at Columbine and Parkland?

I see many are excited about this so you’ll have to forgive me if amidst the gushing I still raise concerns about infringements and “Only Ones.”

Beyond Wonderland

Two people were killed and three others injured in a shooting at campgrounds near an electronic dance music (EDM) festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, Wash. Saturday night. The shooter was among the three injured. The shooter was taken into custody after they fired “randomly” into a crowd at the overflow campsite starting at around 8:25 p.m. [More]

So much for the Guidelines…

Meanwhile, Crickets

Intestacy laws establish an order of priority for the inheritance of a diseased person’s assets. If the courts accept their position, it would skirt state law, which generally considers materials such as the manifesto a record of public interest… [More]

All this legal hoop-de-doo continues to obfuscate and delay. I still want to know why a Nashville Council member said “The vast, overwhelming majority of it,’ presented too much of a danger to the public.”

But that would require principled leadership focused more on results than on scoring media points.

And that allows the blood dancers to keep the focus on guns.

No Wonder They Only Got a ‘B’

2 killed, 5 wounded in shooting outside Virginia high school graduation; suspect in custody [More]

Now take a look at what Giffords says Virginia is missing and pick the laws that would have made a dime’s worth of difference.

If the answer is “None,” that means we’re being intentionally misdirected, and the question becomes “Why?”

No Questions Allowed

Mere months after the Uvalde school district suspended its entire police force for failing to effectively respond to a deadly shooting at an elementary school, school officials banned a concerned parent from school property — because he questioned the qualifications of a new police hire. [More]

That’s tyranny, plain and simple.

Here’s what the new leadership is doing to ensure the safety of the children they’re entrusted with! And true to form, they limit who can comment…

Following the Science

This 16-year-old student invented a bulletproof backpack and is now a finalist at the world’s largest high school science fair [More]

Who wants to be the one to tell ’em?

Or the one to try and “persuade” psychopaths…?

I don’t suppose there’s any other common factor that careful observation could tell us might be an effective deterrent to school mass shootings…?

[Via Remarks]

We’re the Only Ones Unprotective Enough

U. Arizona’s first female police chief to step down following professor’s shooting death [More]

Apparently, failure to adequately bureaucratize overcomes “no duty to protect.”

What we won’t see blamed is this:

Arizona Board of Regents Policies 5-302 and 5-303 prohibit the use, possession, display, or storage of any weapons, explosive device, or fireworks on the University of Arizona campus and on all land and in all buildings owned or under the control of the University of Arizona on behalf of the Arizona Board of Regents, except as provided in ARS §12-781. No concealed carry permit exempts a person from this policy.

The march of folly continues unabated.

There’s No Reason for Indiana Statehouse Campus to be a ‘Gun-Free Zone’

That leads to the logical question of why the politicians would be safe when outnumbered by gun owners on one side of an artificial property line, and wouldn’t be if those same gun owners took one step over it, where they would find themselves in violation of the law? [More]

So the right of the government to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?

Sanitized for Your Protection

Starting Saturday, anyone 15 years old or younger will need to have a chaperone that is 21 or older to be in Kings Dominion after 4 p.m… [More]

If they’re so interested in the “safety of guests and associates,” why force them to obey disarmament rules the predators necessitating the new policy ignore?

I don’t suppose the guy at the gate would be willing to sign one of these…?

A Good First Step

Indiana Legislature Approves Bill To Fund Teacher Firearm Training With Taxpayer Dollars [More]

I can’t imagine assuming responsibility to care for someone’s child without assuming responsibility to protect that child while under my care.

But then again, I’m not Brian Huba.
