Notes from the Resistance
The student from the Mount Horeb Area School District, who was a minor and not identified, never made entry into the school… [More]
I’m with her:
Except maybe not identifying makes a point of its own…

And does this mean he’s a “refugee,” which might explain the reluctance?

18-year-old female trans student charged for planning two Maryland school shootings, manifesto said she wanted to be ‘famous’ [More]
What is it with tranifestos?
And what’s really nuts is after all the years of examples, most schools are still “gun-free zones.”

A 12-year-old student opens fire at a school in Finland, killing 1 and wounding 2 others [More]
But…but…but they have background checks and licensing and registration and everything…
Coincidentally, I’ve been working on a Finland piece for Firearms News following the announcement that they were opening more ranges due to tensions with Russia — just consulted with an authority on the laws there and hope to have an article published soon.

On Jan. 6, 2023, one of Zwerner’s first-grade students pulled a gun from his front hoodie pocket and fired a single round at Zwerner … In her lawsuit, Zwerner asserts that the school division’s negligence allowed the shooting to happen and alleges the assistant principal ignored several warnings the boy had a gun that day. [More]
An adult had reason to believe a six-year-old was armed and did not immediately go and personally find out and take care of it, and now the taxpayers are subsidizing his cowardice.
I wonder if a sufficient number of Americans will ever grok what they’re allowing public schools to do to their children — and to them — while they foot the bills.

Judge Overseeing Case to Release Covenant Killer Manifesto Warns of Contempt If Parties ‘Usurp’ Sealed Materials [More]
What filthy politics must be in play for this to even be an issue on as story of such public importance that’s being exploited to ratchet down on our rights?
If I had the information, I’d defy this robed tyrant in an instant and protect my sources to the end.

West Virginia Senate OKs bill to allow veterans, retired police to provide armed security in schools [More]
It’s still way too “Only Oneish” for me. Character and judgment don’t change just because you cross an artificial prioerty line, and killers won’t care anyway.
I suppose you could argue it’s an incremental improvement, but when we saw cops get nationwide carry recogniton with LEOSA, how many made inviting those of us footing the bill to sit at their table a priority?

Crumbley’s defense attorney, meanwhile, argued that Crumbley had shown signs of severe mental illness years prior to the shooting, and neither his parents nor school officials did anything to help him. They also argued that he has the potential to be rehabilitated, saying he has participated in therapy every day and is taking medication by his own choice. [More]
Sorry, but what he did is so twisted and evil I’d recommend conclusive proof that he can be trusted with a gun before opening that cage.
SafeDefend is just one part of what’s become a booming industry aimed at protecting kids and employees from a rapid rise in mass shootings. Products range from gun detectors guided by artificial intelligence to bulletproof tables and automatically locking doors. [More]
Everything but the obvious solution…

Republicans have reacted with prayers following the Perry school shooting but no proposals to change gun laws. [More]
Whereas Democrats reacted before the facts were known by demanding “universal background checks,” “assault weapon” and magazine bans, and a host of other irrelevant infringements that wouldn’t have made a damn bit of difference– the loser even used a Biden-approved pump-action Fudd gun.
I wonder what the owners of Al Jazeera would do with such a troubled teenager in their country…
Or with Karine Jean Pierre, for that matter…
Active shooting confirmed at Iowa high school on the first day after winter break [More]
NBC News made sure to tie it in with “the Iowa caucuses, which will kick off the 2024 presidential Republican primary process.”
And yes, of course:
This is new and breaking. Check back here for updates.
