UPDATE
Really? All this brouhaha over a party balloon?
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Pretty good summation.
I could offer some “Yeah, buts…” to some of the “pro-gun” points, but overall fall back on two contentions I constantly make:
The administration, left on its own, is bipolar, and the Task Force and gun voters would benefit greatly from independent subject matter expert advisors.
Three contentions, actually: Those of us pointing out the disconnects are motivated by not wanting to see Trump blow it, which will allow the communi… Democrats to take over, and anyone calling for our heads for that is wearing their red MAGA cap too tight.
We’re the Fauxnly Ones Carjacking Enough
Begin at the 4 minute mark. [Watch]
Or just watch the whole thing– it’s addictive and a sobering reminder of how we take our lives in our hands every time we get behind the wheel, and how, if you’re armed, you really need to resist road rage urges, even, especially, when they’re justified.

We’re the Only Ones Incompetent Enough
After McFadden answered, “Mecklenburg County” again, Chesser remarked, “This is not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Um, are you aware of how many branches of government there are?” The sheriff quickly shot back, “No.” [More]
Well, isn’t that “speacial.”

There’s transgender speculation in comments. The latest word I’ve seen says:
That alert described a “female in a dress with brown hair” – but the person’s name or gender are yet to be publicly released.
I see stuff like this, and to me, that looks like two different people.
The one critical piece of information I’m not seeing is what type of gun was used, and if it’s affected by the confiscation scheme or if Fudds are going to be dragged into the mix.

Postgame Coverage
I, of course, did not watch Super Bowl LX, and in keeping with tradition didn’t even know who was playing until I accidentally ran across a headline the day before the game.
For all the complaints about Bad Bunny, someone else I’ve remained mercifully unaware of, and lyrics it turns out he omitted from nonetheless vulgar songs to the grinding of dancers who look nothing like the America that’s given them opportunities they could have never exploited anywhere else, and for the unAmerican antics of an Opposite Day “progressive” Patriot getting away with his subversion while wearing a team uniform and suffering no repercussions, just keep things in perspective:
The audience is mostly male, mostly white, and mostly prosperous.
In other words, the ones funding their would-be destroyers are the bourgeoisie.

Immigration, Assimilation, and the Second Amendment: A Candid Perspective [More]
If it were candid, it would admit that random anecdotal examples don’t offset real numbers. 55% Democrats to 26% Republicans is a landslide.
And blaming public education presupposes we’ll be able to do anything about that before it’s too late.
But, by all means, embrace the happy talk and feel virtuous, useful idiot gun owners, afraid the commies will call you racists. And continue to ignore this, just like Ranjit and Bearing Arms:
