Is it more moral to own a gun or to pay someone else to do it for you? [More]
Then you run into the servant/master paradox…

Bickings’ wife who was still on the scene also pleaded with officers to intervene, saying: ‘I’m just distraught because he’s drowning right in front of you and you won’t help.’ The transcript claims one of the officers then threatened to put her in his police car unless she calmed down. [More]
Too bad she didn’t have a dog to shoot.

Editorial in today’s Uvalde Leader-News calls for gun safety measures: “Raise the legal age to purchase all firearms to 21… Remove liability protections for firearms manufacturers… And for God’s sake, restrict high-capacity magazines to law enforcement and the military.” [More]
Because who but the “Only Ones” and the standing army should be able to deploy weapons of war against the people they are tasked with securing the Blessings of Liberty for…?

As you’ll see, the most shocking revelation from the interview comes via CBS’s reporter, who relays Gomez’s claim that some unknown officer threatened her with charges of obstruction of justice if she continued speaking out about the cops’ passivity. That would mean jail time for her, as she’s currently on probation for a prior offense. [More]
In the interests of consistency, if priors can terminate recognition of your Second Amendment rights, why should the First be any different?

He also said the suspect has a prior criminal record. Authorities said he had previously been arrested twice, most recently for battery of a police officer and resisting arrest sometime last year. [More]
And who’s fault is it we can’t rely on that as a credible indicator?

The state agency investigating the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde has determined that the commander facing criticism for the slow police response was not carrying a radio as the massacre unfolded, a Texas state senator said Friday. [More]

A county jail inmate receiving treatment at an Ohio hospital shot and killed a security guard, pointed the weapon at others and then killed himself in a parking lot, authorities said… Dayton police said inmate Brian Booth, 30, was receiving treatment when he struggled with Darrell Holderman, 78, and took his gun. [More]
Really? And the Sheriff’s Department thought this setup was a swell idea?

Massachusetts’ restrictive gun laws may be the answer elsewhere, police leader says [More]
Because we’ve just seen how well leaving “Only Ones” in charge works.
“Back the Blue” my … eye. Not until they back the oath.

As I’ve continually noted, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.

Yellow-flag laws allow law enforcement — and only law enforcement — to petition the courts to temporarily take guns away from those considered to be a threat to others or themselves. [More]
And they know a thing or two about yellow.

‘Let’s rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything’: Parents frustrated with ‘unprepared’ police outside Texas massacre school debated storming the building THEMSELVES while gunman was holed up inside for 90 minutes [More]

“Every single one of our officers now has an M4 platform system which is comparable to the AR 15 and the necessary rounds to make sure that we’re going to be successful eliminating this threat,” said Tony.
The sheriff said for real impact, the laws need to be changed.
“I’ve heard this narrative for years now that, well, the AR 15 is a sport weapon, it’s a match weapon, you can use it for all of these things. No, it’s a combat ready weapon designed to destroy,” he said. [More]
You’re coming through loud and clear, sheriff…

After seizing the 13,000 square foot building, which was formerly a church until it closed, city attorney Terry Ford said Highland Park would return it if the Kozbials bought the city two new Ford vehicles totaling nearly $70,000 for its police department. The couple would also have to stop growing marijuana in the building. [More]
Sure glad the parasites behind the naked shakedown took an oath to a document that, among other things, exists “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
