We’re the Only Ones Inexplicable Enough

Back the Yellow!

Uvalde Police Went 77 Minutes Without Trying To Open The Door Where A Shooter Killed 19 Children and 2 Adults [More]

But they not only have no duty to protect, they maintain they have no duty to explain.

UPDATE:

Police didn’t try to open doors to Uvalde classrooms with shooter inside [More]

No wonder these cowardly morons have lawyered up.

We’re the Only Ones Self-Defending Enough

Uvalde Police Chief Defends Response To Robb Elementary Massacre In First In-depth Interview [More]

In fairness, it looks like his plan may have worked.

UPDATE:

As public pressure mounts for more information on the deadly Uvalde school shooting, some are concerned that Texas officials will use a legal loophole to block records from being released — even to the victims’ families — once the case is closed. [More]

Or to channel our old amigo, Gold Hat:

Records? We ain’t got no records. We don’t need no records. I don’t have to show you any stinking records!

‘Safety’ First?

I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
School safety
Mental health
Social media
Police training
Firearm safety [More]

OK, Governor, flesh out what you mean by that last one.

Small Wonder

Richard Small is a self proclaimed “NRA Republican” and long-time gun owner who says the Uvalde, Texas, shooting made him question why he owned an AR-15-style gun – a gun that has been used in multiple mass shooting in the US. [Watch]

How convenient.

I wonder who this quisling is and how he all of a sudden has become the go-to guy for the grabbers to hold up as a “reasonable” NRA member.

My guess is if you pull the thread you’ll find a Lincoln Project apparatchik.

In any case, I’d say the Bylaws qualify him for expulsion from NRA, but if they didn’t have the integrity to do it to Michael Moore, they won’t want to touch it.

The Impose Unenforceable Edicts for the Children Act

Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee will hold a vote on a gun control package Thursday which includes six gun control measures that would not have prevented the Uvalde attack. [More]

Here it is.

Hopefully, Republican “moderates” won’t totally blow the “red wave” in November and this never makes it to the floor.

The Ruse of the Fisherman

In an interview with The Pillar, Bishop Daniel Flores of Brownsville, Texas, elaborated on a tweet he made following the horrific mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and admonished gun-owning Catholics — and all Americans — that there is no “divine right” argument to be made about owning a weapon. [More]

I beg to differ.

Anybody see the Swiss Guard disarming?

And I’m Proud to be UnAmerican

“The unfortunate shooting in Texas took place at a very bad time. And for me to go and play at the NRA just days after the shooting would be an endorsement. And people would then deem that as, I like this weapon. And obviously, that weapon killed kids. And I just couldn’t go,” he told hosts Brian Kilmeade, Pete Hegseth and Ainsley Earhardt. [More]

The weapon killed kids. Coming from a guy thankful that others “gave” him his rights.

Then there’s Larry Gatlin, “pray[ing] that the NRA will rethink some of its outdated and ill-thought-out positions regarding firearms in AMERICA.”

At least they didn’t invite Toby Keith this time.

‘Doing Something’ in Wake of Uvalde Looks Like GOP ‘Moderates’ Caving on Red Flags

Democrats, we don’t need to concern ourselves with, at least for now—assume they’re all for whatever disarmament edicts they can get whenever they can get them. It’s the Republicans gun owners need to focus on, and there are few surprises here… [More]

Betraying gun owners and drowning the fire in their bellies will break up the anticipated wave before it hits the shore.

We’re the Only Ones Mulling It Over Enough

‘Let’s rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything’: Parents frustrated with ‘unprepared’ police outside Texas massacre school debated storming the building THEMSELVES while gunman was holed up inside for 90 minutes [More]

So when seconds count, police are 90 minutes away from actually doing anything?

In a secure society, engagement would be effectively immediate by on-scene personnel.

UPDATE: Cops rescued their own kids?

Yes:
