“Ashley Wasielewski was returning home from Forsyth Park when unknown attacker poured acid on her… We have no evidence that this is part of a larger pattern or that there is an ongoing threat to the public,” Gunther said. [More]
Tell us you have no idea what you’re talking about without telling us you have no idea what you’re talking about, Lenny.
This is a heck of a case. Watch this, because he does a good job explaining Gardner v Maryland, where a traveler forced to defend herself got hosed by Maryland violence monopolists..
I want to know why my A-rated Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost did not join in with the other state AGs, and why my two A-rated Republican Senators, John Husted and Bernie Moreno, didn’t join in with Ted Cruz and all those other senators. I think I’ll ask them.

Hey, as long as he can be trusted without a custodian we ought to be cool with him being armed, but if the feds green-light rights restoration, I think the rest of us deserve to know the criteria they expect us to meet.
As noted many times before, those who have it won’t cede real power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand. And they’re counting on most of us having too much to lose to jump out of the heating pot.
We examined the data from 1998 to 2012 and found that, although the U.S. has 4.5 percent of the world’s population, the U.S. represents less than three percent of worldwide mass shooting incidents or mass shooting deaths and less than one percent of mass shooters.
But the damage is done, because the bagel-brained coach’s comments get promulgated by the DSM while any counter is limited to a “conservative/Second Amendment” echo chamber.
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said redistricting mid-decade could lead to violence from people who feel they are not represented. [More]
Only from those inclined to it.
The rest of us continue to be peaceable and productive citizens while we’re smeared as racists, fascists, and “greatest threat” right wing extremists.
