We’re the Only Ones Uninformative Enough

The police chief in the California city where 20 people were shot — 11 fatally — at a ballroom dance hall defended his decision not to warn the public for hours that a killer was on the loose, saying Wednesday he didn’t have enough information to effectively alert residents. [More]

“There’s a tiger on the loose, chief!”

“Bengal or Siberian…?”

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Comprehensive’ Is

A Comprehensive Assessment of Deadly Mass Shootings, 1980-2018 [More]

I haven’t had time to give this more than a cursory glance, but I do note a search for the term “gun-free zone” turns up “0” results.

Hopefully, there will be things we can glean from this, and assumptions we can check.

We’re the Only Ones Systemic Enough

Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to mass shooting that left 21 people dead at a Uvalde elementary school but “systemic failures” created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to a report from investigators released Sunday. [More]

“Systemic failures”… is that what they’re calling cowardice these days?

And yeah, this is several months old– I just don’t recall seeing the “400” number before.

A Rhetorical Question

White supremacist rhetoric online, including the promotion of racist conspiracy theories, has been linked to Gendron and his motive behind the Buffalo attack… [More]

The goal here is not just to disarm the citizenry– it is to reduce allowed speech to that which won’t trigger the lowest common denominator sociopaths, meaning to eliminate any but approved speech. It’s the same crap the Bloombergians are pulling on Daniel Defense.

I don’t suppose it’s in anyone in power’s interests to focus instead on those who can’t be trusted with words…?

Marxist wealth redistribution aside, dare I suggest there might be reasons they are incapable of earning $600/month? That and keep this up and there’s gonna be no room left on the 4473 for lying about drug use.

The Relative Silence is Explained

There goes the narrative!

It’s Conclusion-Jumping Time

Walmart employee in Chesapeake, Virginia kills 6 with pistol, police say [More]

“Pistol”? Not “AR-15-style rifle”?

No matter. They want them all.

And naturally, “The employee has not been identified as police say they have yet to contact his next of kin.”

It’s not like he’s the victim here, and how many hours has it been? My immediate question is what kind of internet trail did he leave, and is it being brushed over as we speak?

We still don’t know much about the Colorado Springs moron, either, except they couldn’t get him on a bomb threat rap, some desperately want to establish a MAGA connection, and the information gatekeepers evidently don’t want anything that might conflict with that insinuation coming to the fore.

He wasn’t a white supremacist.

Speaking of Ostriches

We’re taking an ostrich approach to enforcing gun laws — with deadly results [More]

Not that these head-in-the-sand eggheads have any “answers” besides disarming you and me without due full process.

The reason I decided to give this one a link is not for the article itself, but for some of the comments, just to show the mentality this appeals to. The fanatic in point goes by “AE,” who at least put the lie to the “No one wants to take your guns” excuse:

If it weren’t for the legal gun owners in this country there wouldn’t be a gun violence problem…

Here’s what happens if you disagree:

I’ll go slow. If it weren’t for all the fearful and compensating man boys fighting for unrestricted purchase and use of firearms, there wouldn’t be any firearms in today’s society. Thus, no illegal gun problem…

There is absolutely no point in “debating” with such as these, or in establishing “common ground” dialog, as some ostensibly on “our side” are doing.

What We Do and Don’t Know about the Colorado Springs Maniac

What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]

We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?

By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.

We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.

Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.

At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.
