Notes from the Resistance
A felon caught with a gun near the city? No worries– just tell them you were bringing it into the “buyback,” didn’t understand the transport requirements, and you thought it was “No questions asked.”
Speaking of which: Are you a widow with absolutely no gun training so you don’t know how to check if your deceased husband’s gun is loaded, or anything at all about safe handling or transport? Well, come on down!
Any questions?
Hey, uh, everybody knows private sales are legal in Texas, right? Is that a public sidewalk I see in front of 3826 Wheeler?

The video shows some players saying, “Ow, ow!”… The coach in question bent back one player’s hand and pulled on another one who said, “That coach pulled me back!” [More]
I thought pain compliance was an important and sanctioned part of the “Only Ones’ toolkit…?

Cops responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting ran away from gunshots while 19 children and two teachers were left to die in their classrooms… [More]
I guess turning your back on the armed crazy and skedaddling to save your own precious hindquarters are time-honored tactics:
On the bright side, these are the guys they’ll send to confiscate the “20 million AR-15 style rifles.”

A new state law in Arizona will soon make it illegal for people to film a police officer from 8 feet or closer without the officer’s permission … As part of the law, an officer can also stop someone from filming on private property, even if the person has the owner’s consent. [More]
See, that to me is more objectionable than the eight-foot permission rule, which I’m wondering why that wouldn’t apply to all people, not just “Only Ones.”
My rationale here is I don’t want someone I don’t know getting up into my personal space and can recall a time I stuck a stiff arm out with an extended hand signaling “Stop,” and warned a deranged-looking transient to back up. If he’d kept approaching I intended to treat that as a physical attack and respond accordingly.
On the other hand, if I’m in the driver’s seat and one of Canton PD’s attack dogs is screaming through the window like a mouth-foaming maniac at me, that phone is going to be on “Record.” I guess a lot of it depends on circumstances, which is why one-size-fits-all is not a solution.

John Adams has left the building.
That’s systemic racism right there– if like me, you consider collectivist policies resulting in generations like this to be racist.
Both men are only charged with possession of a firearm as a non-U.S. citizens — but nothing related to plotting a mass shooting. [More]
Sounds like the perfect analogy for all “gun control” laws…
Now that the “Only Ones” narrative appears to be unraveling, is it out of line to hope nobody hangs himself?

Yeah, I see all kinds of vulnerabilities here, but you gotta admit this is cool. [Watch]
And yeah, I get a Pinkley vibe envisioning a real boarding.
Let’s hope they aren’t reserved for the military and the “Only Ones.”
If you want to bring the costs down and make these things pay for themselves beyond limited and expensive tactical applications, start thinking of parallels to the skateboarding market with extreme competitions and the like.
Why did Independence Day event at Dogwood Dell go on as planned? Stoney, experts weigh in [More]
You incompetents got lucky when a citizen had to alert you to a situation ultimately created by government design in the first place.
UPDATE
The Richmond Police Department has refused to share crucial evidence to verify its claim that a mass shooting was planned on Independence Day. The arrests made in connection to the reported plot have turned into an international incident. [More]
I think it would be hysterical if the anonymous “hero snitch” turned out to be an “Only One” who wanted to fast-track his way around a warrant.

He makes some good points.
So do some of his critics. The angry and rude hostility that comes out in some of the responses though, when people believe they are anonymous and therefore not accountable, makes me wonder how many behave like that face-to-face.
For the record: I have written to Mike DeWine and the two governors before him in my state, Ohio, to get the “Only Ones” trained to stop threatening and assaulting open carriers. But I don’t personally open carry for the same reason I won’t rack a shotgun slide to “scare away” an intruder.
Knox County deputy accidentally shoots partner during dog attack [More]
So would it be wrong to assume that by missing the dog and having it later taken away by animal control that maybe it wasn’t all that serious about attacking? I guess I’m wondering if there are any bite marks in addition to the gunshot wound…

Uvalde police officer had gunman in his rifle sights before he entered school but didn’t fire, report says [More]
The one time they didn’t shoot first and ask questions later…
A U.S. appeals court sided with the Kansas district court in denying Officer Rapp qualified immunity in Finch’s death The court said a reasonable jury could believe Finch was unarmed and unthreatening when Rapp fired the shot that killed him. [More]
So why is he only facing a civil trial and what does that tell us about department policy and the prosecutor?

The #FBI Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the Bureau—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and other vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. [More]
It’s convenient and right at hand for them if they “need it,” too.
A warning about vampires and invitations comes to mind.
Tangentially related: My Android has recently started displaying a “suggestion” in settings for “On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked while it’s on you.”
They can detect where my body is! How convenient!

Interviewed by cops twice in 2019 after he threatened to ‘kill everyone’ and had 16 knives, dagger and sword confiscated – but wasn’t arrested [More]
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
So much for nobody, including the family, knowing. Which makes Uncle Paul either a liar or someone not close to the family at all trying to publicly distance himself.
And:
July 4 shooting: Social media companies a ‘big part’ of shooting, not sharing content with police, says ex-cop [More]
The guy is coming from an “Only Ones” mindset, so it figures that would be his top concern.
Even more objectionable in the long run: Doing this in all such cases removes a major source of information with context from being investigated, forcing us to rely on an official government narrative shaped by what it wants us to know and doesn’t want us to know for reasons it won’t share because they conflict with the tightening of the grip.

How long did it take to come up with that scenario? And why am I getting a “kicked in the head with an iron boot” vibe?

Philadelphia shooting: Democrat mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns – Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the US should be more like Canada [More]
Because the “Only Ones” have proven over the years just how right he is, right?
I mean, Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Just what the hell was it this subversive swore an oath to when he assumed office?
As for being like Canada, armed citizens refusing to bend to tyrants were the “only ones” who kept that from happening or we would have been.

That reminds me of the time I had to go down to the local courthouse. I carry one of these because I’ve had rare occasions when I needed it, and when I put it in the tray to go through the metal detector, the “trained security professional” asked me if it was pepper spray!
I’m not sure which was worse– him asking or just believing me when I said “No” without verifying it.

The head of the State Police has informed troopers fired for failing to get COVID shots that their permits to carry firearms will be “expired” as of next week. [More]
You can let us give you a shot or you can get shot by someone else. You think it’s a Massachussetts thing (no offense to the relatively few remaining Patriots)?
Can you imagine being Col. Christopher Mason and putting your name on something so unAmerican and contemptible? I’ve never had a job I figured it was worth being evil to keep.
