On Jan. 6, 2023, one of Zwerner’s first-grade students pulled a gun from his front hoodie pocket and fired a single round at Zwerner … In her lawsuit, Zwerner asserts that the school division’s negligence allowed the shooting to happen and alleges the assistant principal ignored several warnings the boy had a gun that day.

An adult had reason to believe a six-year-old was armed and did not immediately go and personally find out and take care of it, and now the taxpayers are subsidizing his cowardice.
I wonder if a sufficient number of Americans will ever grok what they’re allowing public schools to do to their children — and to them — while they foot the bills.

Grieving mother sues ghost gun kit maker Polymer80 for fatal shooting of daughter in the Bronx [More]
Now give us background on the killer, on all those “existing gun laws” that didn’t stop him, and on the data that concludes any new one would have.
He didn’t hit the right targets either.

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?

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.

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?

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?
Just what we need for the already subversive Seventh Circuit…
How this not an admission of malpractice meriting — hell, demanding — a bar complaint?
