And my condolences to the judge’s family on account of his suicide.

San Jose to tax gun owners, will confiscate firearms for noncompliance

Gun owners in San Jose, California, will soon face a yearly tax and be required to carry additional insurance after their city council voted unanimously Tuesday evening to impose the new measures.

The forthcoming fee for gun ownership in the city has not yet been determined, but officials said that anyone found to be in noncompliance will have their weapons confiscated.

The city council’s aim is to try to recoup the cost of responding to gun incidents such as shootings and deaths. According to the Pacific Council on Research and Evaluation, which studied the issue and sent a representative to testify before the panel, gun-related incidents cost the city roughly $63 million every year in the way of paying for police officers, medics and other expenses, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The people who will pay the tax and buy the insurance to remain legal are not the people doing the shootings.

And the people doing the shooting are not going to get licenses and buy insurance.

This will probably survive legal challenge in California.

This has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with tormenting gun owners.

Big boom in LA.

17 Injured After Planned Detonation Of Seized Illegal Fireworks Ends In Explosion

Federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Thursday began surveying the damage and reconstructing what led to a Wednesday evening explosion in South Los Angeles that injured 17 people.

“I can’t speak for the entire nation, but I’ve never seen that before,” Ginger Colbrun, an ATF special agent, said. “And I’ve been working for ATF for over a decade.”

The explosion of a Los Angeles Police Department truck, caused after a planned police detonation of seized illegal fireworks, happened at about 7:40 p.m. at East 27th and San Pedro streets.

The explosion occurred after the LAPD had seized over 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks from a nearby home. A 27-year-old man was also arrested.

Ten pounds of the illegal fireworks were placed in a specialized armored truck designed for controlled detonations

Moore alleged that the officers followed the necessary protocols, but “something happened in that containment vehicle that should not have happened, and we don’t know why, but we intend to find out why.” The truck is capable of handling up to 15 pounds of IEDs. There were 10 pounds at the time of the explosion.

The truck was rated at 15 lbs of explosives but 10 lbs blew it up, injured 17 people. and broke windows for blocks.

That seems like a major failure.

They didn’t say 15 lbs of what but the standard is lbs of TNT.

This is something that will need to be investigated.

A big metal container that was supposed to contain a quantity of explosives but failed catastrophically at less than that quantity.

This seem like a job for a forensic explosive metallurgist.

I just so happen to know one.

It seems some people in my timeline are getting these warmings

I told them to stop checking out all groups related to Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the Democratic Party and Socialists groups in general to see if the warnings go away.

I collected these shells from my shotgun and tossed them in a particular drawer so they would  not be rolling around, never minded how they landed. I opened the drawer again a couple of hours later and this is what I saw.

And with that, I have used my free “Be a Dumbass without consequence” coupon for the year.

New York is having power problems so they request people turn off their A/C.

The reporter is reporting this from in front of buildings covered in advertising lights.

How hare the people trying to live use A/C and cook food, don’t they know mega corporations need to have their jumbotron ads?

I’d mandate every lighted advertisement go dark before I told people to turn off their A/C, but I’m also not an asshole from New York City.
