I guess the homeowner not having a gun and having to grab a shovel while his “pregnant wife and 5-year-old child hid in the garage” is his choice.
Seems kinda irresponsible to me.
Attack of the Vichycons
Dem-led push to extend protections for Haitians faces outrage after brutal hammer killing – Four Republicans crossed party lines to join Rep Ayanna Pressley in forcing a vote to extend TPS for three years – – Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and Don Bacon, R-Neb., crossed party lines in support of forcing a chamber-wide vote on Pressley’s bill. [More]
Or linked a different way:

UPDATE
A correspondent just forwarded me this email from NumbersUSA:
‘A Lifelong Republican’
Told ya. May she be as successful with this as she was at accomplishing nothing over at 97percent.
And here she is praising a ‘No Kings’ rally. Her journey to the dark side is complete.
Be interesting to see her gun platform when she gets a campaign website up.

That’s Why It’s Called ‘Fraud’
Decades of national and state-level data on violent crime, homicide, and mass shooting show no consistent evidence that stricter gun laws reduce overall crime rates. [More]
Right, but as anyone with a brain knows, that’s just an excuse to give the suckers while they’re swindling them out of their rights, and never was what they’re intended to do.

FAA Greenlights Laser Sentry Guns To Combat Attack Drones In U.S. Airspace [More]
As I wrote in “Things to Come” for Guns and Ammo back in 2002:
Designed for deployment on AC-X “Son of Specter” aircraft gunships, we’re told that “advances will be made and the power plant will shrink and one day it will dominate the battlefield.” Hardly a small arm suitable for individual combatants? Just remember, not so long ago your pocket calculator would have filled a room, requiring programmers, technicians and keypunch operators; and cell phones, laptops and GPS units would have been considered no more plausible than… um… paralyzer beams and death rays.
I wish I had a link to it but it’s not on the internet and they own the copyright.
And sorry, it’s not “in common use.”

And what’s this “plans to resign“? Just do it.
I wonder when his wife is going to leave him — and take the kids and any property her lawyers can wrest from him, which his own antics will only ensure?
Maybe somebody ought to be making sure he doesn’t have access to guns by invoking one of those Red Flag Laws he’s been so keen on:
‘Please tell me this lunatic does not own a gun’

And here we thought the Supreme Court was pretty clear whan it ruled:
The Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.
Until such @$$hole judges face consequences, this kind of crap will continue.
Assuming you don’t want to pay Bloomberg Law to read their spin, Four Boxes Diner breaks things down for us.

I dunno… there’s something to be said for assigning blame.
Anyway, this is a website that may be useful to you to bookmark. I’m not aware of who is behind it and if they have an agenda. If I find time to look, I will.

Not Just Anyone
They Finally Said It Out Loud… And It’s Worse Than Anyone Thought [Watch]
Not me. I’ve been beating the “they want to disarm us” drum for years– and documenting every claim I make with the words of the infringers.
As for ultimately wanting to disarm cops, I wrote this back in 2000:
“I want an absolute ban on the manufacture, sale possession and use of handguns and automatic weapons in this country, with long prison sentences for violations,” Sallie commands. “The police need guns – at least until we get rid of the hundreds of millions of guns floating around,” Sallie lets slip.
Of course, then they wouldn’t be the “Only Ones,” would they?

So, how does #BelieveWomen work here, exactly? And what’s a woman?
And how do we choose between a “progressive” celebrity head case and a “progressive” celebrity gun-grabber?
Fortunately, the smartest woman in the world says the first one to scream “Witch!” wins the toss.

Bridging the Divide on Guns a Bridge to Nowhere
Their “Diverse Coalition of Gun Rights and Gun Violence Prevention Advocates” includes rabid prohibitionist zealots who have made careers out of trying to eviscerate the Second Amendment through lawfare and gun bans, with not one recognized “no compromise” member. [More]
Oh, look, another covertly-funded AstroTurf group comprised of useful idiots and rabid prohibitionists trying to lure in low information gun owners who haven’t seen this game before. By “compromise,” they mean you do it.
An Unexplored Opportunity
Education is another area where the perceived “need” for high tech work visas actually reflects the underlying failure of Democrat-dominated teachers’ unions and school administrations.
Take a look at per capita spending in public school systems, then compare it to how much is comparably spent in, say, India, and it makes fair the question of how and why so many can outperform U.S. students, many of whom graduate unable to read at the fourth-grade level, and are effectively unemployable. Ditto for those who aren’t qualified to use DEI degrees in anything the market is willing to pay for.
Why aren’t establishment education policies and curricula geared toward producing what the domestic market demands, to where the need to hire a foreign national over a qualified citizen candidate is one of special circumstances involving individual exceptionalism? Is flooding states with H-1Bs to enrich tech billionaires really the best way for the interests of We the People to be advanced?
Look at the Democrat-dominated teachers’ unions and tell me there’s not a political opportunity to capitalize with voters justifiably objecting to economic displacement by pointing out academia establishment failures due to willful educational malpractice.
And it’s no surprise these Marxist sell-outs want a “pathway to citizenship” for illegals, too.
