More ‘Child Gun Deaths’

Two of the robbery suspects — 19-year-old Anthony Lee and 18-year-old Martavious Henderson — were struck by gunfire and ultimately succumbed to their injuries. [More]

“Lost to gun violence” and “Lost to gun violence.”

I see plenty of virtual candles lit for both, but for some reason, nothing on “occupation” or “workplace”…

I do wonder why the customers took off, because that won’t work out well for them when identified. Still, they did demonstrate that when it comes to stopping multiple predators, a “weapon of war” sure does the trick.

Oakland PD Airhorn Advice is an Admission of Gun Control Failure

Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]

What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.

Nothing in Common

[Watch]

That the antis have glommed onto “self-defense” as an exclusionary qualifier was inevitable since that’s all the “common possessors” on our side ever talk about.

If we keep limiting ourselves that way, arms needed for the core purpose and all new technological developments restricted to military/police use will be forever denied to the people the Second Amendment was meant to apply to, and not just for “self-defense.”

I’m waiting for one of our legal influencers with a reach longer than mine to admit this and start using it.

Alternatively, I’m waiting for one of them to have the guts to challenge me on this and prove me wrong.

‘Good Samaritan?

The mother and acquaintance stopped at a traffic light, where McDaniel allegedly hopped out of his car while wielding “a large knife” and confronted the pair. The acquaintance was legally armed and demanded McDaniel walk away, according to police. The suspect refused the warning to leave and, instead, allegedly swung the knife, prompting the woman’s acquaintance to fire his gun. [More]

“Acquaintance”?

Does anybody else find the headline description misleading?

In any case, I never understood stalkers– if she makes it clear she doesn’t want you, and especially if she goes to someone else, what is there to salvage? (There’s a cheating politician analogy in there somewhere.) And if the object is to attack, no wonder she left.

The Bear Necessities

‘I’m terrified’: Woman said black bears keep coming to her home [More]

She’s 75 and unlikely to develop the skills to take them out.

That said, is it unreasonable to expect the Department of Natural Resources to do more than say “Don’t feed them” and maybe set up traps to relocate them? Because if government doesn’t make its priority protecting life, rights, and property, what good is it?

10 Pro-Gun Americans on Why They Carry in Public [More]

MSN evidently thinks slide show click revenues warrant sidelining its typical anti-gun editorial sentiments now and then. Knowing what those are, I’m just surprised one of the given reasons wasn’t “to compensate for inadequate manhood.”

And pick a side, Ryan Thomas. This playing both sides of the street and then predicting blood in them for the DSM to spread around is unbecoming of someone who says he “believes” in RKBA.

It didn’t happen in Ohio, so stop trying to appeal to people who hate you.

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

As 24-year-old Marine Daniel Penny awaits trial after being charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of frequent New York City subway agitator and homeless man Jordan Neely, 30, a fresh wave of subway attacks has people talking about what some are calling the “Daniel Penny effect” —where bystanders see an assault happening but refuse to intervene out of fear they will be arrested and charged.
