New St. Louis FBI head hopes to prevent next mass shooting [More]
Let me guess: Recruit him, arm him, and then make sure to arrest him before he executes the plan they gave him?

A Father/Son Business
Prosecutors: Father, son charged with selling silencers had 105 firearms, 13,800 rounds of ammo at home [More]
Citing those has everything to do with scaring and prejudicing the readers.
Tracing things from the indictment to the guy’s website to his other website to his previous website, it looks like he was doing things because of his beliefs.
In any case, he evidently wasn’t doing things very cautiously if the goal was to get away with them. Here’s what Prince Law has to say about solvent traps.
If you were his customer, I’d be calling a lawyer and determining exposure and vulnerability about now.

What Kind of Violence?
More than 30 people dead from gun violence over Memorial Day weekend across US [More]
Tell us about the lifestyles and choices of the people involved in committing the violence, and about what perpetuates, enables, and makes such outcomes inevitable.
No? Just call it “gun violence” and act like disarming normal Americans will do anything but create a deeper victim pool?

Small Wonder
Richard Small is a self proclaimed “NRA Republican” and long-time gun owner who says the Uvalde, Texas, shooting made him question why he owned an AR-15-style gun – a gun that has been used in multiple mass shooting in the US. [Watch]
How convenient.
I wonder who this quisling is and how he all of a sudden has become the go-to guy for the grabbers to hold up as a “reasonable” NRA member.
My guess is if you pull the thread you’ll find a Lincoln Project apparatchik.
In any case, I’d say the Bylaws qualify him for expulsion from NRA, but if they didn’t have the integrity to do it to Michael Moore, they won’t want to touch it.

The Cognitive Dissonance! It Burns!
We’re the Only Ones Restictive Enough
Massachusetts’ restrictive gun laws may be the answer elsewhere, police leader says [More]
Because we’ve just seen how well leaving “Only Ones” in charge works.

A Discriminating Solution
CA Schools No Longer Have to Notify Police of Threats Made by Students [More]

Profiles in Teflon
Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI when he handed over since-debunked computer data that purportedly tied Donald Trump to Russia, with jurors drawn from a largely Democrat-leaning pool saying special counsel John Durham didn’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. [More]
Well, that wad is shot. No one really thought this was going to be allowed to go anywhere, did they?
UPDATE:
A juror in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann told the media after his unanimous acquittal on Tuesday that she didn’t think the case should have gone forward because lying to the FBI wasn’t a big deal. [More]
Yep, in-your-face nullification.
Who thought three Hillary donors on the jury were unobjectionable? Throwing the fight much?

Taker’s Remorse
Outside of the store, shortly before 3 p.m., an adult male confronted the individual, brandished a weapon and demanded the AR-15. The individual handed over the assault-style rifle, but then went to a vehicle and retrieved another gun. A shootout ensued. [More]
They’re kind of keeping details about the participants close to the vest…

Turning the Tables?
Apparently, the artist originally wanted to ‘delve’ into the ‘unique and abysmal’ lives of gun owners in America, illustrating their fetishism with firearms… Oh sure, there are plenty of gun-grabbers shrieking and freaking out about these photos, but the number of Second Amendment enthusiasts and gun lovers LOVING the thread far outnumber them. [More]
Doesn’t matter. They’ve outed themselves and exposed themselves to whatever results from that.

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime
The Impose Unenforceable Edicts for the Children Act
Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee will hold a vote on a gun control package Thursday which includes six gun control measures that would not have prevented the Uvalde attack. [More]
Hopefully, Republican “moderates” won’t totally blow the “red wave” in November and this never makes it to the floor.

Sufficient Infringements
Once again, the problem looks less like a lack of laws than a lack of enforcement of laws that are already on the books. [More]
So “our side’s” answer is to enforce existing Intolerable Acts?
What else would I expect from National Review and friends of the French Mistake?

Self-Defense Not a ‘Choice’ Statists Allow People to Make for Themselves
“OK, you can have your guns, but you can’t have your AR-15. If you’re gonna get all in my business and tell me what my family can and cannot do, neither can you. They’re gonna come for those AR-15s and you better get ready to give them up!” [More]
Somehow, “nasty” doesn’t seem strong enough…
So It’s True?
Their acts of racist and xenophobic terrorism have aimed to cower the potential political and economic power a Black and Brown majority population in the US could wield by the 2040s. [More]
Wait a sec… I thought anyone who mentioned “Great Replacement” was a racist conspiracy theorist…
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …
Great Expectations
Encouraging Words?
Authorities believe the former agent – believed to be from Texas – was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said. [More]
My bet is the question is broader than “What did he know?”

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Rash Enough
Federal agents say four Polk County men were involved in a rash of armed robberies, all while pretending to be law enforcement officers. [Watch]
As I’ve continually noted, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files. You never know when an “I was afraid he might not be a real cop” defense could use some validation that it’s a widespread and frequent enough phenomenon to be a legitimate justification for resistance.
