A “good guy with a gun” runs towards the sound of the fight – not cowering under cover when innocents are being killed. If Scot Peterson is Cillizza’s idea of a “good guy”, he’s purely lying for ideological purposes. A “good guy” ACTS! (H/T: Instapundit)
As to be expected, the Left is not letting a crisis go to waste. They’ve marshalled their forces for the regular emotional political shove that I’ve been watching for years and combining it with “it’s for the children”. And part of the regular S.O.P for Progressives:
It’s no secret that I think the opioid crisis is an excuse to grow the bureaucratic state. With frequent references to the work of Theodore Dalrymple, I’ve tried to warn legislators and citizens that budgets will be blown in the name of ‘doing something‘ to create a sprawling government infrastructure whose addiction to your tax … Read more
As seen on FB (emphasis mine):
Here are some interesting facts (in case you accidentally find someone interested in such things):
There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:
• 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws
• 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified
• 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – gun violence
• 3% are accidental discharge deathsSo technically, “gun violence” is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation?

Thursday 2-22-2018 was a great day at the NH State House.
One year ago today Constitutional Carry was signed by Governor Chris Sununu. That is me hugging the Governor. 
If Gramma is late on her property taxes her interest reduction bill just passed the House. The committee vote to kill the bill was 23 to ZERO. Kevin J. Scully, David Bates, Dan Eaton and I overturned the committee and passed the bill.
The Progressive Cult will disagree.
Contrary to the transgender movement’s central claim — that “gender identity” determines whether someone is a man, a woman or something else — Mr. Anderson said the only rationale for determining an organism’s sex is “by that organism’s organization with respect to sexual reproduction.”

If anyone knows who had these signs made, they can be placed on private property, and I know people that want them.
But per RSA 664:14 and 664:17 all political advertisements must include identification and signature of the person posting the sign on public property or a State or Town Right of Way. If this information is missing the signs will be removed by the Milton Public Works Department in accordance with State Law.
One could argue that the signs are not political, but an expression of free speech.!
Reason is reporting on how Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel has a history of giving political supporters good-paying “jobs” as rewards. A microscope whose focus gets sharper as details continue to emerge about the events on that tragic day when seventeen people died.
When Coral Springs police officers arrived at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14 in the midst of the school shooting crisis, many officers were surprised to find not only that Broward County Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson, the armed school resource officer, had not entered the building, but that three other Broward County Sheriff’s deputies were also outside the school and had not entered, Coral Springs sources tell CNN. The deputies had their pistols drawn and were behind their vehicles, the sources said, and not one of them had gone into the school.
Now back to that Reason article.
Purdue University has an online writing and grammar resource that tells students to avoid using words with ‘man’ in them because such terms are sexist. But based on the reporting at Campus Reform, I don’t think they’ve quite got the hang of it.
Hence, instead of writing “mankind,” the OWL suggests that students write “humanity,” people,” or “human beings.”
So mankind is inappropriate, but humanity and human being are acceptable?
After horrible shootings like at Parkland, it’s understandable that people might cast about thoughtlessly blaming people and demanding quick “solutions”. Unfortunately leftist solutions so loudly and immediately promoted as “common sense” gun controls wouldn’t have prevented or stopped these attacks, and leftists fight against the obvious solution that could defeat such attacks.
The people like the NRA, Constitutionalists, lawful gun-owners, and others who fight for effective, rather than seductively sounding but totally ineffective, solutions are not to blame for these events. Nor is the gun to blame.
People intent on killing can always find a way. It’s easier to get a gun illegally than to buy one from a legal gun dealer.

For about 40 years before becoming a permanent resident of Gilford, I lived and practiced law in the Miami area, so I have some significant familiarity with Florida law.
The recent Parkland school shooting has produced a lot of discussion about how and why it happened and how a similar event in the future could be prevented. However, much of the discussion and calls for “action” have missed many important facts, distinct from the emotions of the moment.
One of the keystones of the gun-grabbers narrative is that you don’t need firearms because the state will protect you. The government’ got your back. But every day new details surrounding the recent Florida shooting paint an ugly picture of incompetence and failure. Today we learn that the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School had an armed … Read more
Roll Call reports that Levi Sanders is seriously considering a run for Congress in New Hampshire’s first Congressional District.
I’m definitely considering it. I’m excited, motivated and interested in the race,” Sanders told Vice News Thursday. “I’m just dotting my I’s and crossing my T’s.”
So what are the differences between Bernie and Levi? According to Levi, “the basic difference is that I’m a vegetarian and he’s not.” Levi “plans to run on a super-progressive platform — Medicare for all and free college tuition.”
