Event honors gun violence victims in East St. Louis [More]
I suppose it would be bad form to wonder how many deserved honors, and how many provided a net benefit to their community and to society with their demise…

The Wrong Question
For example, by examining homicide rates by state from 2012 to 2022, it can be seen that rates have increased almost across the board. That said, they are still lower than rates seen in the 1980s and 1990s. [More]
Don’t examine by states. The problem lies within known areas.

Palestinianism Began with Nazism And Today Is Based on Antisemitism, Sexism, Homophobia and Denial of Human Rights. So Why Is the Left So in Love with It? [More]
Why do useful idiots not realize they’ll not be deemed useless eaters until it’s their turn at the lime pit?
The irony is, their time will come if we who they hate should fall first.

He Couldn’t Believe His Eyes
A Travis County assistant district attorney was arrested Saturday morning on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following an argument with a roommate … Frederick said his roommate was making “googly eyes” at a guest in their apartment. [More]
It’s telling who government considers qualified to assess our fitness to control ourselves…

Use whatever you can get to in time, and don’t let distractions impede swift action. There’ll be no trumped up charges to face later if you don’t survive.

Making the Grade
Commonsense LEGO Safety Laws
“We’re here to talk about a roughly one-inch piece of plastic. It looks innocuous enough, a little like a LEGO or a k’nex block. But this one-inch piece of plastic is killing people,” said Leigha Simonton, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. “Machine gun conversion devices can turn Second Amendment-protected firearms into illegal weapons of war, and petty criminals into brutal killers. We cannot have our streets turned into war zones.” [More]
So the federal government has the authority to ban a one-inch piece of plastic– just like the Founders intended. And it’s killing people… does this broad ever listen to herself?
What the hell does Simpleton think “Second Amendment-protected firearms” were intended to be?

PURE EVIL: Ohio Woman Accused of Stabbing Mother and Her Three-Year-Old Boy to Death Smirks and Giggles as Charges Read in Court [More]
I wonder, when they eventually let her out, if they’ll be able to guarantee she can be trusted without a custodian. Or an exorcist.
I also wonder about the father.

Fact: It can’t shoot back. (Yet.)
They all have expensive fire control systems, don’t they, even big ones are so rare as to be statistically insignificant?
You see where I’m going with this.

MODERN CITY IS A GLASS DOME
David Codrea calls some groups of people MREs, which in this context means Morons Ready to Eat, because there will be no other food… [Watch]
I had to go looking for that because it was over 10 years ago— funny, what some people retain…
In any case, what this is really about is Matt Bracken’s “Coffee and a Mike” interview to discuss his new book, Doomsday Reef. I haven’t read it (yet) but longtime readers will recall the enthusiastic thumbs ups I gave each entry in his Enemies trilogy, and in basically everything I’ve seen the guy involved in.

A Ban Too Far
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed the suit earlier this week, claiming the 1999 rule makes it illegal to “possess or control any firearm, gun or similar device at any time while on the waters, banks or shores that might be used for the purpose of fishing,” goes too far. [More]
Any infringement goes too far.
Then again, look who’s calling the shots, and remember that the next time the lying gun-grabbers tell you they’re gun owners who “respect” the Second Amendment — and then mention hunting.
Your turn in the barrel, Fudds…

Jefferson’s Manual
I neglected to add three scans in the 2A Commas piece, now included as UPDATES at the end. I believe the index page to Jefferson’s Manual conveys an important original understanding of the amendment, as it emphasizes it to be a singular citizen’s right and omits any reference to the militia as a necessary qualifier.
So, in a way, having to go back and make up for my initial carelessness may have paid a dividend.
Question Deserves Honest Answer
Ten people were injured in an early morning shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday. Madison Police Department said the victims range in age between 14 and 23 years old. [More]
How do you read something like that and not make certain assumptions, and when are they allowed?

Inventing Connections
Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, his chief of staff Chip Hill, and Montgomery District Attorney Daryl Bailey blamed the crime wave on the legislature passing permitless carry. [More]
Because as we all know, that made it legal for prohibited persons to carry guns and victimize others.
Show me a gun-grabber who doesn’t rely on stupid people to get elected.
