A Low-Risk Occupation
Cowboys and Indians
If a state passes legislation limiting now extant gun-ownership rights, and that state includes one or more native American Indian reservations where a majority of the registered members remain attached to their traditional gun-ownership rights and they refuse to comply with the new laws …. Do you advocate sending in the U.S. Marshal to make arrests and to seize their guns? [More]
I expect conquered people condemned to government dependency and self-interested tribal power players to continue voting for their oppressors by a landslide.

The Empire State Strikes Back
The bills would raise the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic rifle to 21 years old from 18, prohibit the purchase of body armor for anyone not eligible (NY tried to ban it last year), require a license to buy a semiautomatic rifle, eliminate grandfathering of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices (otherwise known as extended magazines), strengthen the Red Flag law, and require new pistols to include microstamping technology for tracing.

And when none of those work…

Fitting the Profile
Mass shooters overwhelmingly fit a certain profile, say Jillian Peterson and James Densley, which means it’s possible to ID and treat them before they commit violence. [More]
Fine, but in all their Department of Precrime advocacy, they’re a little light on full due process and still seem trapped in the mindset that passing edicts against tool possession will stop a determined maniac.

Dimming the Lights
Prosecutors said Johnson was intentionally brandishing his weapon at five officers conducting rooftop surveillance, while the defense said he was only using his flashlight to see who was up there. [More]
Maybe he was, but all things considered, it sounds like he’s lucky they didn’t light him up.
Why this is a federal case is another matter altogether.
After the Storm
Outages, road closures expected in Hudson due to broken trees and utility poles [More]
The power just came back on an hour ago after about 10 hours of being out. The National Weather Service alert from last evening said “severe thunderstorms” with “80 mph wind gusts,” and what I saw looked at least Category 1. I have a lot of trees on my property and so a lot of branches that need to be picked up, and found out about the big one after the fact– the storm was so intense we never heard it split off and fall.
I don’t claim to be a photographer, but at least my finger isn’t in any of these:
To give you an idea of the scale, the high point to the left is around 6′.
The split is about 20′ up.
Looks like it had some kind of internal rot going on that weakened where the separation started…
I expect productivity here will suffer as I deal with this. There are probably a lot of news tips I won’t be able to get to, so go easy on me.

‘Safety’ First?
I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
School safety
Mental health
Social media
Police training
Firearm safety [More]
