We’re the Only Ones High and Dry Enough
Bickings’ wife who was still on the scene also pleaded with officers to intervene, saying: ‘I’m just distraught because he’s drowning right in front of you and you won’t help.’ The transcript claims one of the officers then threatened to put her in his police car unless she calmed down. [More]
Too bad she didn’t have a dog to shoot.

Supremely Indifferent
The Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up a case brought to it by a Missouri Republican Senate candidate and his wife, who were seeking review of the professional disciplinary action they faced, as lawyers, for pointing guns at racial justice protestors demonstrating outside their St. Louis home.

Because Nothing Stops Aggression in Nature Like Appearing Weak and Vulnerable
For the love of God, stop fantasizing about a war between US citizens and their military [More]
I agree. Stop fantasizing.
Ensure the deterrent to prevent it from happening is credible:
“[A]rms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe…”

No Compromise on Guns
I Will Not Comply
I will never comply with a magazine limit. [More]
Huh. Some call that attitude “juvenile at best.”

Just Like the Founders Intended
Editorial in today’s Uvalde Leader-News calls for gun safety measures: “Raise the legal age to purchase all firearms to 21… Remove liability protections for firearms manufacturers… And for God’s sake, restrict high-capacity magazines to law enforcement and the military.” [More]
Because who but the “Only Ones” and the standing army should be able to deploy weapons of war against the people they are tasked with securing the Blessings of Liberty for…?

A Strategic Advance
Murphy: Gun reform talks won’t include assault weapons ban, ‘comprehensive’ background checks [More]
Those will come later after easier obstacles are hurdled without meaningful opposition. The object is to establish a beachhead without expending too many resources from which they can launch future incursions.
You’d think Republicans would know about D-Day.

Framing the Terms
This week will determine if there’s a compromise to be made on Capitol Hill to attempt to prevent gun violence or if this round of talks will end up in an overflowing trash can of failed attempts. [More]
Translation: This week will determine if there’s a betrayal to be made on Capitol Hill to attempt to impose citizen disarmament…
It’s almost like DSM “real reporters” have an agenda or something…
Speaking of Disenfranchising Voters
Californians enacted the law by a statewide referendum with the unambiguous language that the sentence “shall be” imprisonment for at least 25 years and that prosecutors “shall plead and prove all known prior serious or violent felony convictions.” Nonetheless, directly and openly flouting that law, Gascon ordered a blanket policy of refusing to enter the prior convictions into the record.

All that talk about “our democracy” is just that.

As you’ll see, the most shocking revelation from the interview comes via CBS’s reporter, who relays Gomez’s claim that some unknown officer threatened her with charges of obstruction of justice if she continued speaking out about the cops’ passivity. That would mean jail time for her, as she’s currently on probation for a prior offense. [More]
In the interests of consistency, if priors can terminate recognition of your Second Amendment rights, why should the First be any different?
