Then again, it’s always been that way for Nihonjin…
And before anybody starts in on guns and crime, there’s not only a fundamental demographic difference, but violent crime among the millions of peaceable members of U.S. gun owner groups, the most heavily armed population on the planet, compares favorably to Japan’s disarmed populace.

The Derek Chauvin case just took a seismic turn. A 71-page post-conviction filing reveals false testimony, withheld evidence, and expert manipulation that the jury never saw. What’s in this document is stunning. [More]

A cursory risk/benefit trade-off analysis says the haul wasn’t worth the price.
But as dumb as they are, their accomplice still has the rifles, although his life can’t be very good at the moment. He’s gotta know his “friends” have already given him up.

I’m not going to link to the @$$#)!e because no sense feeding trolls, which is what he is, by rewarding him with attention and clicks, plus the responses are exactly what you’d expect.
I did go to his main page and found he’s a damn Afghan refugee rescued from that $#!+hole and brought here at 16, and who has since thanked the people who took him in by hating and undermining their traditions and values.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue“!

While the man who was killed has not been identified, the homeowner is sending a message to the family now grieving their loved one. “I apologize. Taking a life was never my goal. I wasn’t trying to kill him. I was just trying to save myself,” he said. [More]
Way to give police and prosecutors plenty to chew on if they ever decide to look closer for disconnects and try for a criminal prosecution. Way to give the family plenty if they go for a civil settlement.
Does he think either are motivated by a goal of absolving him?
For a guy who just had successful DGU, he’s sure got poor survival skills.
So DOJ is just following orders?
Precedent says that’s no excuse:
In the case of the US v. Josef Altstötter, et al., an American military tribunal tried members of the Reich Ministry of Justice as well as jurists and prosecutors of the People’s Court [Volksgericht] and Special Court [Sondergericht].
As for voting to change the law, what they’re saying is individual citizens in solid blue states are f_d by a tyranny of the majority. What they’re saying the Bill of Rights isn’t worth the parchment it’s printed on.
Update to “Bear Minimums“:
“Teachers successfully repelled the bear using pepper spray and a bear banger.”… Tamara Davidson, British Columbia’s minister of environment and parks, called the teachers who fought off the bear “true heroes,” adding that they were well-prepared…” [More]
Do government flacks know how to do anything but gaslight to keep the obvious from being questioned? If the teachers had been successful and well-prepared there wouldn’t be 11 mauling victims fighting for their lives.

November 22, 2013
50 years ago today a young president was gunned down in Dallas. Those of us alive at the time and old enough to be aware of the event will never forget where we were, how we heard the news, and how it shook our worldview of an America we’d assumed to be invulnerable in prosperity and power, and on course for an even greater destiny.
Looking back to that day, proponents of what they call “common sense gun safety laws” are decrying that there are still no mandatory so-called “universal background checks,” even as they dismiss fears validated by the federal government that “effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration…”
The same activists then dismiss fear of gun confiscation as “paranoia,” even though ample examples not only of intent, but of actual practice are readily observable to any who would look for them. But it is the contention that the Second Amendment stands as a bulwark of liberty that they seize on with the fiercest opposition, throwing out charges like “insurrectionist” at people who maintain that the right provides for resisting tyranny, and “treason” at those who pledge to defy and resist citizen disarmament attempts.
Under United States Code, treason is a capital crime, so such charges are quite revealing about the intent of those who level them.
On a day of remembrance when Americans of good faith should come together, what must we think of an extremist gun owner, and naturally a life member of the NRA, who would publicly affirm what is being called treason?
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable,” the gun owner asserted.
“Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country,” he conceded.
That’s a clear a rejection of the “monopoly of violence” society demanded by those who would remold ours. And “extremely unlikely” does not equate with “never.” He left that door open as a measure of last resort, when all other peaceable options had failed, essentially adopting a position where he, too, could be accused of treason and executed for it.
If they’re going to be consistent, it’s fair to assume that’s how the radical gun-grabbers want America and the world to remember John F. Kennedy.
A Kempsville High School assistant principal and his brother are facing charges stemming from an alleged conversation they had about threatening to hurt ICE agents for “kidnapping individuals” and a possible meeting with other like-minded individuals to discuss “ideas and plans,” according to a criminal complaint.

He also said he recently bought an assault rifle, the complaint states, because “it utilizes the explosive rounds that are needed to penetrate the vests.”
What?
It’s conference day today at the Supreme Court and instead of going live Monday morning to tell you all the bad news, we decided to give it to you ahead of time. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses all 41 2A cases before SCOTUS on conference today so that you can understand the blood bath that will be Monday’s orders list. [Watch]
As noted before, all SCOTUS has to do to let bad law stand is…nothing, and real change won’t happen unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demands.

Good letter and good points by WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M.
Letters to the editor are an often-overlooked tool by many gun owners that can get our voices outside of the echo chamber. I wrote a column back in 2009 trying to encourage more of it and giving some pointers gleaned from personal experience as to how to up your chances of getting published.
