One of the most underrated romantic songs from my youth.

Fifth Circuit Rejects Constitutional Challenges to “Campus Carry”
Texas, like some other states, allows law-abiding adults who have concealed carry licenses to carry at public universities as well as elsewhere; this was challenged on First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Equal Protection Clause grounds.

As with anything Eugene Volokh writes, it is amazingly explanatory and it is a joy to see that the Fifth Circuit handed a legal spanking to the three Liberal Arts Professors from the University of Texas who brought the case to court.  Believe it or not, the following was one of the arguments presented to the court:

Glass contends that to the extent the Second Amendment recognizes an individual right to carry firearms, persons not carrying arms have a right to the practice being well-regulated.

Yeah, that dumb.

And as usual, you can read the original court decision here.

The Waffle House sign is the perfect background. And yes, it is a real company in Arkansas.

RUTHERFORDTON, N.C. —
A North Carolina sheriff’s office says a teenager shot and killed a man who was strangling her mother.
The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said on its Facebook page that 46-year-old Steven Kelley was assaulting Chandra Nierman Aug. 8 at a home in Forest City where they lived with her three children.

“During the assault, the deceased male was yelling that he was going to cut Nierman’s throat and kill everyone in the house,” a release stated.
The sheriff’s office said the woman’s 12-year-old son got a gun and handed it to his 15-year-old sister, who shot Kelley in the chest.

Sheriff: 15-year-old daughter shoots, kills her mother’s abusive boyfriend

This is the type of case that will be ignored by most of the Big Media because it goes against the Holy Gun Control Writ: Children got an unsecured gun in a home with domestic violence history and  used to stop the violent partner and save lives.

According to the article, the “deceased male” was a violent felon and with two orders of protection against him from two different women.

The children won’t be charged.

It was a good outcome out of a bad situation.

Something about doing Stupid things with Stupid people comes to mind.

Stolen from Wirecutter.

One article of faith that is crumbling is that women cannot be hit. And the collapse of that long-held belief is because, and I am sorry to say this, a lot of women are abusing the privilege and have become bullies. We know the defensive issue of Disparity of Force and understand we must take our lumps from drunken & stupid females or risk jail time.

But here we have a prime example of Poor Victim Selection. No disparity of force and about an equal use of force…more or less.

It was just beautiful.

If that pattern holds in November, the worst-case scenario for the GOP is a truly historic wipeout of as many as 72 House seats, according to The Hill’s analysis of special election results and congressional and presidential returns from 2016.

Worst-case scenario for House GOP is 70-seat wipeout.

It is bad news, but I am not surprised.  I know I am not very enthused with my Representative since I was redistricted and ended up with the psycho Rodeo Clown of Frederica Wilson. But I don’t really see my friends giving too much of a shit about GOP candidates either.

We have not seen a reason why back the GOP and actually seen them do the eye-batting towards the Democrat voter side in the hopes that they can suck up some votes which apparently nobody told them it is not going to happen.  The House GOP ignored Gun Owners and they are on their way to get a George W. Bush-style defeat, which could have been avoided if they just simply made an effort to discuss National Reciprocity on the floor, nothing more.  At least pretend you give a shit, you know?

I have not polled Florida gun owners, but I have not heard/read anybody supporting Governor Scott for his run after Bill Nelson’s seat in DC.  In fact, they have been deafening in the collective silence.

Our “problem” is that we do not vote Democrat even when they are dressed as Republicans and make all the appropriate noises.
