Here is a video..

My opinion: No.

With the little girl literally in the line of fire, it makes no sense to start the festivities. In fact, I think it is downright irresponsible. The shooter had a chance to move and use the pump as cover, it also means he could have retreated safely and let the bad guys take whatever they wanted but instead he muzzled the girl at least twice, maybe three times.

On the info accompanying the video, it says it was an off duty cop with his daughter. It makes more sense to me to snatch the girl and run away.

Stupid saved by sheer luck.

However, Detective X said police sometimes misuse their weapons: “A few years ago, an officer on duty used his gun to kill himself — clearly non-designated usage, so that’s a crime.” He was charged posthumously to publicly show that even the dead can’t get away with breaking the firearms laws, and to shame his family. It may seem like overkill but it drives home the point.

Go read the article. You may need anti-acid after you are done.

Even understanding that Japan has nothing that looks like a tenth generation xerocopy of our Bill Or Rights, the lengths that the government goes to control guns is simply mind-blowing. If it does not confirm once and for all that gun control is about control and not about the guns, I don’t know what else could be.

“Japan is basically a place where only yakuza and cops have guns,”

Never heard a version of that one, Have we?

That is Fourteen German Shepherds at her beck and call.

Pity the fool that messes with her.

I can only says Birds of a Feather….

So tomorrow and in another chapter of “More Fashion, Less Substance” the members of Moms Demand will wear orange under the guise that hunters use orange vests to stay safe from gunfire and some other convoluted stuff. The fact that they have to take a page from the Gun Culture to promote their cause tells you how empty of true ideas they really are.

But I think that the “wear orange” meme has a different meaning. I think it is in support of all the former Mayors Against Illegal Guns and now Everytown For Gun Safety, who are wearing or wore orange rompers for felonies committed while being distinguished members of the “gun safety advocate” club .

Now that is closer to the truth than anything else.
