We’re from the Government and We’re Here to Help

Before the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSA), only two notable mass shootings had occurred on school campuses. Since the passage of this legislation, many Americans can name over ten incidents without needing to research. [More]

“Safety” is just the excuse. It always has been.

Herschel has curated some noteworthy official failures. [More]

I just wish the creatures responsible actually felt shame. As we saw from Boss Hagan’s spokesflack, he’s posturing that he’s the injured party.
