Lest Ye Be Judged

Ohio Supreme Court rules Columbus leaders can appeal injunction on gun safety storage laws [More]

It’s not that the concept of preemption is beyond the Republican-dominated court.

Since these judges are elected, I’ll need to find out who voted how, and see how that measures up to BFA grades. Unless one of you wants to find that for us, ’cause it may take me a while.

Do you think this might be an April Fools’ Day joke?

Of Course You Realize This Means War

Proposed Minnesota legislation HF 3433 (often associated with HF 3434) includes provisions that would allow law enforcement to conduct warrantless, at-will inspections of private homes to ensure compliance with storage regulations for registered “semiautomatic military-style assault weapons” (SAMSAWs)… To retain previously owned semiautomatic rifles, owners must agree to allow law enforcement to inspect their home storage at any time without a warrant. [More]

“Registered”…?

Not for tyrants and traitors I won’t.

If you can ignore the Second Amendment, you don’t have to worry about the Fourth. Or the First. Or…

Safe Words

CDC shooter had police contacts over suicide, used father’s guns in attack… “All indications in our investigation was that they were secure and that he forced his way into the safe that contained the weapons,” said Hosey, adding that the suspect did not have a key to the gun safe: “He broke into it,” Hosey said. [More]

We obviously need commonsense gun safe safety laws.

Speaking of Being Woke…

People in the home reported being woken up by the sound of a gunshot. They found the 4-year-old and a 2-year-old child at the foot of Young’s bed with the weapon. 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.

Don’t Sweat the Details

“I really want y’all to remember D’Angelo for who he was and not what happened… [More]

But what happened is exactly what the prohibitionists will use to force lock-up-your-safety edicts on the rest of us.

And what does it mean, “Police don’t know where the child found the unsecured gun”? Did they ask the person urging everyone to forget about “what happened”?

If these people did journalism, we’d have the backstory.

We’re the Only Ones Irresponsible Enough

Seattle cops somhow lose 23 guns — and have no idea where they went… [More]

Oh, someone has a very good idea…

And if this happened to you under Seattle’s “Responsible Storage Law“…?

No worries. Department spokesflack Patrick Michaud says “We’re going to do our best to ensure that we do better.”

Now there’s a solid pledge!

Just goes to show you though, all these years and I’ve never lost one. ‘Course then, I don’t have all that professional training…

Prohibitionist Exploits Own Incompetence to Deny Emergency Gun Access to Endangered Women

Discouraging women from defending themselves with the greatest equalizer yet devised and encouraging ignorance and fear is a major part of the gun prohibitionists’ unified propaganda effort. [More]

Why would anyone who’s not a willfilly ignorant dolt listen to bleating incompetents about anything?

Unsafe Storage

They were probably out of this guy’s price range anyway.

I hope the gunmakers defending against enemies foreign and domestic take heed and have their lawyers introduce evidence that CPSC hasn’t issued recalls against their products.

Felon Proves ‘Safe Storage’ Laws Don’t Protect Lives

A Michigan man was charged Tuesday under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns after his 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the head with his revolver the day after the law took effect. [More]

I’d think a responsible j0urnalist would put the part about him being a prohibted person felon right up in the headline. Of COURSE he doesn’t obey any “gun laws.”

Care to tell us more about him– and why he was out?

And why the photo of the everyman-looking professor instead of the idiot “dad”?

Safe storage practices are done by the responsible. Safe storage laws don’t change that.
