Notes from the Resistance
It’s not property or money being threatened, after all, it’s human lives, and anyone evil and deranged enough to kill someone over that is no one to take any chances with—no matter what some petty human resources wonk from the relative security of their corporate DEI job says. [More]
This happened a couple miles from where I live. This kind of stuff didn’t used to happen here, but things have changed, including the fact that the area now votes Democrat. And they’re not getting better.
Gun Deaths in the U.S. by Race, Age & Gender (2026) [More]
I don’t much like the “gun deaths” terminology. That said, we’ve discussed ways to frame the suicide problem and on how the numbers show the violence is not homogenously mixed in.
And not to sound heartless, but we also need to consider victims who victimized.
I’ve been working on a plan to reduce “gun suicides” that has a lot of factors and drawbacks I need to sift through and understand before I can even begin an outline, so it’s going to take a while. There’s only one of me and daily priorities keep me from devoting myself exclusively to it.
In the mean time, don’t let anyone get away with ignoring lives saved via DGUs.
Many American homes contain firearms. Although the relationship between firearm owners and injuries is complex, the vast majority of gun owners will never experience a firearm-related injury or fatality in their homes. [More]
All the anti-gun groups and Democrats who oppose that (along with the “enforce existing gun laws” crowd) should demand the heroic citizen be prosecuted. [More]
Go ahead Democrats, demand his arrest for bringing a gun into a school. Do it before the midterms.
Masked would-be thieves smashed a pickup truck through the front of a Washington jewelry store in broad daylight and stormed inside — only to be sent scrambling when the store owner pulled a gun and opened fire, according to authorities and a local report. [More]
You can take the Jared approach or the Lance Thomas approach.
So, even the Newsraper of Record couldn’t erase the fact that the hot-headed leftist inserted himself into a conversation with bellicose insults and then assaulted the older guy who was walking away, and is now playing the race card, while the wormtongues at Giffords, who want to exploit this to disarm you while not allowing comments, wring their hands…?
What, they should have just duked it out, like “Real Man“? An 80-year-old against a large, angry, and alcohol-fueled man who is 25 years younger? No mention that fists and feet are involved in more homicides than “assault rifles”…?
The older guy’s major mistake was not calling the cops first, saying he feared for his life, and then letting them know his attorney would be their point of contact for more information.

How very Borglike.
I’ve run into such opinionated fools before and note none of them want to take a simple test.
That said, Col. Cooper had a word about guitar players we’d all do well to heed.
Besides, what’s a woman?

“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.

Armed Airbnb Guest Shoots Home Invasion Suspect During Fort Lauderdale Robbery Attempt [More]
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]

Over 1/3 of Gun Owners Have Used a Firearm in Self-Defense [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.
