Today I learned:

CEN reported that about 2 million people die worldwide in similar accidents involving umbrellas.

The MA assault weapons ban mirrors the federal one. And the AG of MA thinks that following the law is a loophole. Because loophole, these days, basically means “any law I don’t like”. She did so in an opinion piece at the Boston Globe. Says the mental giant:

On Wednesday, we are sending a directive to all gun manufacturers and dealers that makes clear that the sale of these copycat assault weapons is illegal in Massachusetts. With this directive, we will ensure we get the full protection intended when lawmakers enacted our assault weapons ban, not the watered-down version of those protections offered by gun manufacturers.

The directive specifically outlines two tests to determine what constitutes a copy or duplicate of a prohibited weapon. If a guns operating system is essentially the same as that of a banned weapon, or if the gun has components that are interchangeable with those of a banned weapon, its a copy or duplicate, and it is illegal. Assault weapons prohibited under our laws cannot be altered in any way to make their sale or possession legal in Massachusetts.

Well, I see her getting sued right quick. And most guns operate under essentially the same operating system these days.

Governing by edict.

One of Marquez’s bullets struck the suspect’s pistol, traveling straight down that gun’s barrel and disabling it. Officials say such a shot is “one in a billion.”

I guess it’s risk you take when shooting someone pointing a gun at you in the face.

Cam Edwards:

Have you noticed the cognitive dissonance that many supporters of common-sense gun control have been exhibiting as of late? Im not sure its possible to support more gun-control laws and oppose mass incarceration or excessive policing policies. How can someone argue that young men of color are overpoliced, while at the same time calling for more non-violent-offender gun laws to be placed on the books?

Good for them:

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit against the State of Illinois on behalf of two foster parents, alleging deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

The lawsuit is joined by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) on behalf of Kenneth and Colleen Schults in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. Named as a defendant in the case is George H. Sheldon, in his official capacity as director of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (IDCFS).

The complaint contends that Mr. and Mrs. Schults have been denied their rights because IDCFS policy substantially prohibits foster parents, and those who would like to be foster parents, from possessing firearms for the purpose of self-defense. This violates their constitutional rights under the Second Amendment.

I’d like to see more suits targeting deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

It’s bullshit.

Someone is wishing kind of hard: This Is the Beginning of the End of the NRA

You see, we’re all racists. And they want to ban guns and we don’t want them to so that means we won’t compromise. What an idiot.

Heh

Once again, wishing you dead.

So, a man with an AK tried to rob a Waffle House. A customer shot him. He’s now on life support.

Forget new gun laws. Heres what could really keep people from shooting each other.
