VIDEO: ATF conducts surprise firearm inspection at man’s home without search warrant [More]

Never talk to the police. All that friendly and reasonable posturing is just that.

At most, he could have said something like “Give me your card and I will have my lawyer call you.”

Although I do admit, if I had ATF and Delaware State Police together in one handy, recordable location, I’d have been willing to extend the conversation to questions about Hunter Biden’s gun.

We’re the Only Ones Incredulous Enough

“He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun,” Ison said, adding that Dicken is “very proficient” and “tactically sound,” despite having no known police or military training. [More]

I, too, marvel that a mere “civilian” performs at the level of those who can fire 50 rounds and get a “B-“!

We’re the Only Ones Alerting Enough

About the only thing I have to add to that is this:

The thought strikes: If they don’t downgrade it at least a full letter grade after Bruen, it will be a significant admission.

So: When’s the next “buyback“?

We’re the Only Ones Inconsequential Enough

Two police officers who wrongly arrested a Coralville man for being an impaired driver without any evidence and locking him up in jail for nearly three months didn’t lose their jobs or face any consequences that were made public. [More]

It sounds like they’re not the “only ones” who need to be held accountable.

I hear stuff like this and my first thought is how could anyone so wrong another human being and not be consumed with guilt and a life priority to atone and make amends.

Then another voice says “Grow up. This is why people who don’t victimize others must never allow themselves to be disarmed.”

Life in the Former Golden State

Homeless man on parole suspected of stabbing NASCAR star Bobby East, 37, to death at California gas station is killed in SWAT RAID [More]

Who could have guessed there was anything wrong with him?

And nice to see the professional “Only Ones” end up exceeding expectations by shooting their own dog…

We’re the Only Ones Triaging Enough

The investigator asked for identification but the EMT was intent on getting her patient inside first. She kept moving with the man on a stretcher and when she was at the check-in desk, she was approached by the investigator, her arm pulled behind her back and cuffed before forcefully being taken outside to a police car. [More]

Gotta prioritize in life-and-death emergencies, you know, and who better to override trained medical opinions than a butthurt “Only One”?…

Now, how about “the investigator’s” identification…?

We’re the Only Ones Inevident Enough

The sheriff asked for a risk protection order, which would have prohibited Broome from having a gun for at least a year … “I need to underscore that we have no evidence that he was going to shoot up the school. None,” Judd told FOX 13. “But we have no evidence that he wasn’t.” [More]

No, it wouldn’t have. And that’s a hell of a slippery slope, Grady.

Thing is, he’s right to have his spider-sense tingling on this. But if he can deny due process to this suspect that sets a pretty low bar for all others.

No Questions Asked!

                                                                          [More]
So bring in those stolen guns and let the government be your fence!

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?

UPDATE

DDS noticed something I missed:

 

We’re the Only Ones Fleeing Enough

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.”

UPDATE

Ann Barnhardt calls it like she sees it.

We’re the Only Ones Distant Enough

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.
