If Only They’d Disarm You and Me…
Teens hung out in a room with a gun. Now a Maryland father mourns. [More]
How many Maryland “gun law” violations can you count?
And there’s the obligatory Kris Brown quote, claiming “guns are ‘the number one killer’ of children and teens…”
It’s almost like “real reporter” Jasmine Hilton writes editorials instead of news…

12-year-old shot dead by teenager while filming music video with loaded guns, cops say [More]
And just so we know what to place the blame on:
“There were some guns present, and one of them went off, shooting the 12-year-old, ultimately killing him,” the inspector said.
What kind of gun fanatic wouldn’t want all the laws it would take to stop that, and why?
We’re the Only Ones Personal Enough
An investigation is underway after a Los Angeles police officer’s personal rifle “accidentally fired a round” in a parking garage earlier this week, officials announced. [More]
All by it’s own self…
“Personal rifle.” That’s even a more transparent attempt to distance from what would they call it if it had belonged to a non-Only One than “patrol rifle.” And don’t you just love “Non-Tactical Unintentional Discharge” copspeak?
If it’s personal, why does he need a “weapon of war designed to kill as many as possible, as quickly as possible,” huh?
And do we have this moron’s name, because we’d damn sure know if itwas a “civilian,” or didn’t the “real reporter” think it was relevant to ask?
‘It’s the Guns’
Police searched the home and a vehicle parked outside and found 12 guns. Many of the firearms were loaded and unsecured, and easily accessible to children. All of the guns were owned by Marshaun Jr.’s father, Marshaun Futrell Sr. [More]
Do you need a better reason to impose “lock up your safety” laws on you and me?

What a moron.
Jonathan Lowy. Figures.
At what point are gunmakers going to file bar complaints and sue him for deliberately filing nuisance lawsuits, and courts slap him down for wasting their time with unethical lawfare harassment?

We’re the Only Ones Thankful Enough
When asked to explain what happened, the officer said, “I mistakenly thought the trigger was a release for the revolver’s cylinder. Thankfully no one was injured.” [More]
From Colorado, of course. Now deflect by talking ab0ut a stellar career and awards to keep from giving us this absolute moron’s name…

Young, who admitted to keeping the gun under her pillow every night, was the only person in the home who owned a firearm, police said. [More]
And she slept through that? Anybody do a blood test on her?
Tell me this isn’t the best reason ever to force “safe storage laws” on you and me.

We’re the Only Ones Incompetent Enough
Hey, the rule says keep your finger off the trigger. It doesn’t say anything about TWO fingers… And she shot him in the leg. Talk about a “Hold my beer, Lee Paige” moment…
She’s been fired. No word on if she’s eligible to apply in another department.
