We’re the Only Ones Obvious Enough

“At this point in our investigation, this incident does not appear to be a murder-suicide and both deaths are being investigated as homicides,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement on social media Friday evening. [More]

I thought a suicide was a homicide…

In any case, someone’s gonna get it for a weapons policy violation.

So was this also a hate crime?

And I’m sorry, but wasn’t everyone involved a little old for dorms…?

That’s Why They Call It ‘Selective Prosecution’

Times Square shooting suspect faces no added charges for being in a ‘gun-free zone’ [More]

No, of course not.

It’s purpose is to deter self-defense carriers, not criminals.

Why do you think that is?

The Bad Hands People

There are no places evil can’t go. Limited, though, are your choices to stand up against evil and stop it. Ideas are being discussed everywhere about how to protect our schools. The insurance companies have threatened to drop school coverage on schools that protect children and staff by exercising the right to self-defense with a firearm. [More]

Which insurance companies? Name names.

Are they the only ones, or the only ones the schools are doing business with? What about state rules saying if you want to do business here you can’t discriminate?

Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama

United States residents traveling to the Bahamas should exercise “extreme caution” in Nassau in the wake of 18 murders since Jan. 1, the State Department said in a new travel advisory. “Murders have occurred in all hours including in broad daylight on the streets,” according to a security alert that was posted on Jan. 24 by the U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas. [More]

And here’s a shocker:

Bahamas law does not permit the carrying of concealed weapons.

Neither does the cruise ship that gets you there.

What Better Way to Expose the Fraud of ‘Gun Control’?

America’s Stolen Guns: A Silent Contributor to Gun Crimes in the U.S. (2024) [More]

I get two takeaways from this:

  • “Gun-free zones” make things more dangerous because, aside from leaving “law-abiding” gun owners defenseless, they require them to leave their property unattended and vulnerable to theft. And lock box/safe “solutions” are defeatable, even the best ones if the whole car is stolen.
  • The numbers put the lie to needing serial numbers to trace guns recovered from crime scenes to the guilty party, and if you think about it, the whole “background check” scam.

So naturally, the grabbers will use this to demand more prohibitions.

CO Democrats Expanding Predator Empowerment Zones

Draft bill puts numerous places off limits to concealed carry; Democrats test limits of ‘sensitive spaces’ [More]

Proponents know only the “law-abiding” will obey, which makes them evil accomplices to every act of violence that will occur that could have been repelled.

Let’s All Wring Our Hands and Make It Worse

“While walking with families through the building, I couldn’t help but ask God, ‘What do you want from me here? How can I take this horrible experience and do a fraction of what the families have done in the face of trauma and turn it into something that can help others?’” he added. [More]

For some reason the story that ends with “I sent you a Jeep, I sent you a boat, I sennt you a helicopter…” comes to mind.

We’re the Only Ones Schooling Enough

West Virginia Senate OKs bill to allow veterans, retired police to provide armed security in schools [More]

It’s still way too “Only Oneish” for me. Character and judgment don’t change just because you cross an artificial prioerty line, and killers won’t care anyway.

I suppose you could argue it’s an incremental improvement, but when we saw cops get nationwide carry recogniton with LEOSA, how many made inviting those of us footing the bill to sit at their table a priority?

The March of Folly

Leaders of March For Our Lives Iowa led a crowd of about 300 students, activists, lawmakers and supporters in chants of “no more silence, end gun violence” and “enough is enough” that echoed through the Iowa Capitol rotunda Monday afternoon. [More]

Out of half-a-million students that’s all? How many were adults and how many were idiot children of idiot Democrats?

Of course this is shameless exploitation. What else would we expect from the Des Moines Register (Part of the USA Today network/a Gannett Publication)?
