Sister Act

Man in ‘Scream’ costume fatally attacked neighbor with chainsaw, knife, paperwork says… In the report, police said they interviewed Moyer’s sister, who told them Moyer had been talking about killing Whitehead a week before the crime. [More]

What would you want to do if your loved one was killed and it turned out the perp’s family knew of the plot and did nothing to warn anyone?

How about at least some aiding and abetting charges?

Youth Must Be Served

The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuot denied a request for rehearing En Banc in the Lara v. Pennsylvania case involving young adults and the second amendment. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner explains the big 2A win! [Watch]

Here’s the case.

Of COURSE RKBA applies to 18-10-year-olds. Try 17.

Of COURSE 1791 is the relevant time period. Some of us have been arguing that for decades. But it’s no surprise lying prohibitionists once more favor applying the racist Black Codes of their Democrat forbears to all.

And of COURSE Judge Krause, with her “In today’s America, by contrast—where firearms include automatic assault rifles” line of “reasoning” is a propaganda-spewing idiot apparatchik.

SAF weighs in.

Not the Only One?

“I said [at the press conference] if you shoot accurately, and you kill the guy, you save taxpayers money. And I also said that if somebody gets killed during a home invasion, the odds of them re-offending are zero. And we like those odds, which we do,” he told Fox News Digital. [More]

Still, even if you live in Santa Rosa County, the sheriff’s public sentiments notwithstanding, remember one thing when his deputies respond.

Speaking of Text, History, and Tradition…

A federal appeals court upheld court orders prohibiting two criminal defendants from possessing firearms while awaiting trial. [More]

Not that such prohibitions work…

If people are going to cite Bruen to demand historical context, I’d be interested in whether or not bail for those who “would pose an unusual danger, beyond the ordinary citizen, to themselves or others” was widely practiced in the Founding era, under what conditions, and if denying it to the really heinous ones was alleviated by the right to a “speedy trial.”

Virginia’s “But if a crime be punishable by life or limb, or if it be manslaughter and there be good cause to believe the party guilty thereof, he shall not be admitted to bail” strikes me as consistent with another law I keep prattling on about, and raises another question: What was the average length of time from arrest to trial to the gallows for the bad ones?

We’re the Only Ones Unincarcerated Enough

No jail time for former East Cleveland police chief guilty of felony charge [More]

Hey, it’s not like they wouldn’t offer you and me the same deal if we faced 24 charges of “financial crimes including collecting and failing to remit sales tax, passing bad checks, theft in office, and money laundering.”

Right?

First Hurdle Cleared

House Bill 24-1292, otherwise known as the “Assault Weapons Ban” passed the House Judiciary Committee on a vote of 7-3 early this morning, March 20th at 12:18 am. It will now go to the floor of the House for debate among the entire chamber. The battle against this horrible bill is far from over. [More]

And then the rest of the process to enactment, and then the lawsuits, and then the appeals, and…

When is SCOTUS going to put a stop to this nonsense?

Or will Republicans blow it and Democrats put a stop to SCOTUS?

Chicago Announces First-of-Its-Kind Lawsuit Seeking to Hold Glock Accountable for Manufacturing and Selling Pistols That Can Easily Be Turned into Machine Guns Using ‘Glock Switches’ [More]

They’re never gonna stop, are they?

But the city wants “machineguns” for its “Only Ones”? So is Glock going to continue selling them guns?

We’re the Only Ones Goony Enough

Hunter Elward, 31, was sentenced to about 20 years in prison, while Jeffrey Middleton, the leader of the so-called “Goon Squad” that abused the men, was given a 17.5-year prison sentence. Four other former law enforcement officers who admitted to torturing Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker are set to be sentenced later this week. [More]

So, then… just “a few bad apples“…?
