Me ‘n everybody I know are all living in the exact same era, and every single one of us has managed to behave ourselves…
Remember when I asked if it would be out of line to wonder if San Carlos being a self-declared “sanctuary city” played any part in a woman’s decapitation?
UPDATE
They’ve since revised the story to say he was a citizen.

That “cash, electronics and other valuables” were “left behind” suggests that the object of the break-in was to get the guns, making fair the question of who knew Bass had them and how it is that they knew. [More]
It sounds like there’s a lot more to this story than has been revealed, but even if there’s not, the in-your-face hypocrisy alone ought to disqualify this self-serving hypocrite from office. Which means L.A. Democrats will be lining up to vote for her in droves…
Sources told KGO-TV that the victim and the suspect were in an ongoing relationship. According to authorities, the young woman filed a restraining order in April against the suspect, Jose Solano Landaeta. Sources informed the news outlet that there was a history of domestic violence.v [More]

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed have teamed up to sue the State of California over its ban on CNC machines used for producing unserialized firearms and a law letting the State recover attorney fees from plaintiffs and their lawyers. [More]
You get the feeling that the state, with virtually unlimited resources, is forcing the gun groups to expend all of theirs on lawsuit after lawsuit, counting on exhausting and wearing them out until they’ve got nothing left to punch with.

I’ll turn this one over to Hannibal.
Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong had a simple message Tuesday outside City Hall in the wake of a spree of deadly shootings in the city: put down the guns. [Watch]
Expecting that to make a difference is beyond simple. It’s retarded.
As is everyone in this video, starting with the incompetent “Authorized Journalists” putting the blame on “gun violence,” every self-promoting “official” spouting blather, and every “community” moron wearing an orange shirt and nodding solemnly after each buzzword.

“Senate Bill 918 is nothing short of tyrannical overreach to force his ideology on law abiding people who still believe in the framer’s intent,” said Rick Travis of the CA Rifle and Pistol Association. “Governor Newsom and his allies will stop at nothing to remove the right of the people to defend themselves. He is signing bills that are known constitutional violations and does not care.” [More]

The “altercation” began inside the gym, on or near basketball courts, and carried out into the gym’s front parking lot where it “escalated,” police said. At least two people pulled out guns and fired multiple shots, police said, citing surveillance video. Several people fled the scene, police said. [More]

Bonta lawsuit, which challenged policies and practices of California Attorney General Rob Bonta and his Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Firearms that delayed firearm transactions beyond the statutory 10-day waiting period absent a legal basis.

Who thinks these guys wait 10 days?

Yesterday, a judge in California threw out charges for carrying a handgun without a license, saying that “the defendant cannot be punished for exercising his right to public carry” while the state’s unconstitutional may-issue law was in effect. [More]
Hey, they say what starts in California spreads out to the rest of the country…

San Pedro shooting: Suspects sought after 2 killed, 6 injured by gunfire at Peck Park- “Something like this happening in my backyard, I’m five minutes away from this park, is shocking,” said one community member. [More]
I’ll bet Sharon Tate thought she lived in a pretty safe neighborhood, too.
Besides, who would expect violence at an event attempting to broker peace between rival gangs?
