Suffer the Children

“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…

Life in the Gun-Free Zone

Villanova University said a report of a possible shooter at its law school was a “cruel hoax,” after it issued an alert warning of an active shooter on its Pennsylvania campus on Thursday… The incident, which occurred as the school was celebrating its orientation mass to welcome new students, sparked a large local and federal law enforcement response, and “panic and terror ensued,”… [More]

What, nobody drew their own gun…?

Busted Flush

“A parent and several students reported that the same student had brought a firearm to school on Thursday and threatened to use it to shoot the toilet,” Watson said. “School police immediately investigated and confirmed the student had taken a gun from home, brought it to school, and discharged it in a toilet before classes began.” [More]

And, of course, parents can’t learn the tender young darling’s name, or age, or signs of trouble that made their way into the system before this.

I wonder how much time elapsed between the warning and the action.

And who’d he get the gun from?

Wait for the ‘All Clear’

Cornell Grad Killed in N.Y.C. Skyscraper Shooting Was Shot After Stepping Out of Panic Room- Julia Hyman, 27, was apparently checking whether the coast was clear when she was shot by Shane Tamura on Monday [More]

Switching to a different case, as sympathetic as I may be to the devastating loss someone like Manuel Oliver suffered, that all takes a back seat in light of his demands that the law render us all equally as helpless in life or death situations as this poor girl.

Someone’s grief is not a claim on our rights. I’m sorry they’ve been driven crazy. But attack me and mine, and motivations don’t matter.

Shall Not Be Infringed Except Where We Say

Fifth Circuit Holds Gun Free School Zone Law to be Constitutional [More]

That’s a lot of zones:

Now overlay post offices!

Just add “gun-free” federal, military, state, county, and municipal facilities (and don’t forget posted businesses!)

Good thing the map is mostly red!

As Kirk said to Jojo, “Who’s infringin’? We’re prohibitin’!”

Thanks, Ahmed Abdalla Allam! At least you let us know the grabbers are on the side of fans of “Jihad, killing cats, and the legitimacy of rape and murder during Jihad.” Seems perfectly logical to adjudicate what rights will be afforded the rest of us based on you!

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.

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.
