Notes from the Resistance
“The perpetrator needs to be held accountable to the full extent of the law,” Healey said in the interview. “If he committed a violent crime, he should be deported.” [More]
Four on one and he backed up and warned “Don’t touch me”?
So, as long as the victim is a member of her core constituency community, Maura has no problem throwing the “resident” under the bus.

How could he do it if it was “safely stored” as their policy requires? I assume he’d disclosed his firearm in advance and the owner didn’t prohibit them?
If the Housing Authority had bothered to look before (metaphorically) pulling the trigger, they’d have known that discriminating against armed residents in public housing has been challenged before, with results in different jurisdictions showing the courts consistently frowning on it. [More]
Ableist gun prohibitionists who decry “stand your ground” laws would rather this wheelchair-bound man, who couldn’t run away, had been murdered instead of armed with an equalizer.

By the St. Louis Housing Authority?
How can it be a “criminal” matter if charges have not been filed and a conviction obtained against the shooter?
Hasn’t SAF already resolved this, with a federal judge declaring in 2019 that “the East St. Louis Housing Authority cannot deny, through rules and regulations, a tenant’s right to lawfully own a firearm”? Yeah, different federal districts between St. Louis and East St, Louis, but you’d think the lesson would have been learned, assuming the bureaucrats are knowledgeable enough to apply it…
And hasn’t that success been repeated in New York, Tennessee, and Warren County…?

And then Judge Salamey said the dumbest thing you could imagine. From the article:
The judge admonished Long for carrying the gun and told him he has to think before he acts. ‘Fortunately, you weren’t injured, but nonetheless, you had a gun there in the first place, which was poor judgment,’ he said. ‘And what do you need a gun for protection in a mall, in the first place?’ [More]

And not just against human animals…
You gotta wonder how many still vote Democrat.
Gun-grabbers would rather they’d all been killed than armed — preferably with a gun so that it could be exploited.

Prosecutors today cleared Payne, based on Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, saying the State would not be able to overcome her claim that she was in fear of great bodily harm. [More]
Jeez, listen to the family and you’d never know he wasn’t anything but a saintly victim “tragically taken from us as the result of a senseless act of violence.”
Don’t get in arguments over stupid stuff. Walk away if you can.
Ah, I think I see why CBS was supportive of the shoot this time:
… he allegedly hurled the N-word at her …

Gun prohibitionists, that is, Democrats, would rather see you and those you love and protect mauled to death and eaten than armed.
A knife-wielding woman stabbed two people in the heart of Times Square Monday afternoon before advancing on NYPD officers with two knives and being shot by police… [More]
See, the two mere citizen victims had their choices to do that taken away from them by “law.”
Homeless man suing for $10 million after breaking into business and being shot by owner [More]
To be fair, every time I see an intruder with bolt cutters, I figure he’s just trying to keep warm. And who wouldn’t believe the burglar’s version of what went down?
What the heck was the owner shooting? And, rather than finish the job he called for an ambulance to save the guy’s life? No good deed goes unpunished, especially with no shortage of ambulance-chasing shysters who know extortion and settling out of court lets them collect from the productive with minimal effort.

Alleged robber wearing ski mask shot and killed by delivery driver in Miami Gardens, police and witnesses say [More]
With actions like checking to see if neighbors had cameras that recorded the incident, it sounds like the defender’s detention was procedural. What’s unclear is how this will affect his livelihood, because it’s not like many people whose economic prospects make them choose to be delivery drivers have a lot of other options.
On the plus side, if he delivered for DoorDash, I can’t find any policy explicitly forbidding independent contractors from being lawfully armed. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, because it’d be just like the hysterical b_s at Moms Demand Action to start a harassment campaign.
How can you blame Deputy Lafond for covering up when we see the example set by Sheriff Labat?

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in Calce v. City of New York, a case challenging New York City’s ban on electronic arms. [More]
Democrats really don’t want you defending yourself.
Just give them what they want? What if what they want is you, and are you really going to trust someone threatening to kill you over peanuts to know when to pull back?

Australians who defend themselves against an armed invader inside their own homes can be charged with a crime. [More]

That’ll teach him to keep a cowardly and sadistic commie mob from attacking him.
