BREAKING 2A NEWS: MAJOR ORAL ARGUMENT ABOUT GUNS ON PUBLIC TRANSIT!!!

The Federal Appeals Court for the 7th circuit heard an oral argument about gun free zones and whether they are constitutional under the 2nd Amendment. [Watch]

Of course they’re not. “Shall not be infringed,” remember?

Which doesn’t mean this won’t go on for years and end up in front of a deliberately indifferent a Supreme Court that denies cert.

Forgive me if the whole Snope deal has soured me on hyperbolic video titles.

Life in the Gun-Free Zone

USF police say students found an empty 9mm cartridge in Parking Lot 9 on the main campus Tuesday… Tuesday’s discovery came just days after police said an empty gun case and empty ammunition magazines were found in the USF Fine Arts Building. [More]

Whatever you do, don ‘t tell Ileana…

But I Have Promises to Keep, and Miles to Go Before I Sleep

“I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases,” Trump said, to scattered cheers during a campaign rally on Thursday night. “My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.” [More]

Don’t get too excited. He said that nine years ago.

Today’s Low-Hanging Fruit Report

According to a letter sent to Memorial High School staff, Spring Branch ISD police took immediate action on Tuesday after learning about a credible threat that was identified on social media. [More]

And it wasn’t disallowed for violating “community standards“…?

What’s dumber: Them or the “gun-free zones” that make them believe they can get away with it?

Made to Be Broken

“We have no information to suggest that this was a student who was planning an attack or harming people inside the school. It is our understanding—through a very preliminary investigation and what has been expressed to us by the student—that he was having issues with people in the community, and he was carrying the firearm,” Mitch McCoy, SLMPD spokesperson, said. “While Missouri has very relaxed gun laws, it is still very clearly stated in the law that you cannot carry a gun on campus.” [More]

Based on results, you can. Whether you can get away with it or not depends on how crazy, or in this case, stupid you are.

Nice gun…

A bill to be entitled An act relating to the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms; creating s. 790.34, F.S.; prohibiting the use of artificial intelligence to detect firearms in public areas; providing criminal penalties; providing exceptions; providing an effective date. [More]

Don’t worry, predators, there’ll still be plenty of “gun-free zones” being enforced…

DOJ Still Going Postal

Biden’s DOJ makes a final anti-gun argument against the 2nd Amendment in a fight over whether guns can be banned in post offices. [Watch]

Boy, that’s a lot of “gun-free zones” in the land of the Second Amendment:

Now superimpose it over maps of schools, parks, government buildings, “sensitive areas”…

So… when confirmed, is Pam Bondi going to keep fighting for this?

We’re the Only Ones Dropping Enough

We have just been informed by the Childress Police Department that the loaded magazine found on the junior high playground this afternoon by one of our students belongs to a Childress police officer who was conducting canine training this morning at 4am before school. In that area of the practice field, the magazine accidentally fell from his service belt. The district wants to make the public aware that at no time were students or staff in danger. [More]

Well, it’s official. Unsecured loaded magazines don’t pose a danger to children– if they come from the “Only Ones.”

We still want to ban yours.
