Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime [More]
It’s a prickly issue, alright…
On the one hand, I see the danger.
On the other, it seems like Democrats could use this to call for destruction rather than resale to the public…

Bringing the same results to New Orleans she did to Oakland, I see…

A Georgia cop who once won “Deputy of the Year” was arrested and charged with DUI last week after he tried to drunkenly direct traffic outside of an elementary school — despite there being no cars in the area, according to police officials. [More]

Maybe this will let us see what Pam Bondi is made of, and if she can enforce immigration law, why can’t she enforce the Second Amendment?

In recent years, the FBI has become increasingly skilled not at capturing the masterminds of terror but at fabricating their own foes, preying on the vulnerable, the mentally ill, and the socially isolated. [More]

I guess ordinary “law-abiding” New Yorkers kept unarmed by the same sytsem that releases caught predators back among them are lucky there was an “Only One” nearby.
