This one barely made a blip in some Media outlets:

Georgia authorities say that at least four people were killed in a mass shooting in Hampton on Saturday morning.

The shooting rampage reportedly began at approximately 10:45 a.m. in the Dogwood Lakes area of Hampton, a small city south of Atlanta.

Authorities identified the suspect as 40-year-old Andre Longmore. Police believe Longmore killed three men and one woman.

“We’re not releasing the name of the victims at this time to ensure that the family has time to be notified and to for them to grieve in private before it becomes public,” police chief James Turner explained at a Saturday afternoon press conference.

“We had at least four crime scenes that we were still actively investigating,” Turner added.

The suspect was reportedly last seen in a black 2017 GMC Acadia SUV.

Another White Supremacist? Guess what?

And the victims:

If I were of a suspicious mind, I would say the Media purposedly ignored the obvious facts because it does not fit the official political narrative they were hired to push.

As always, stay armed, stay aware.

PS: The bastard is dead

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake is doubling down on his commitment to keep schools safe.

While Gov. Bill Lee has pushed for school resource officers (SROs) in every school, Drake said staffing shortages limited his department’s ability to hire fulltime SROs in Metro Nashville’s 70 elementary schools. Nonetheless, on Saturday, July 15, Drake explained other plans in place to secure schools in the upcoming academic year.

“Over the last day or so, people have questioned our police department and my commitment to the safety of our schools,” Drake said. “My commitment has never wavered. In fact, it’s even stronger for the 2023 school year.”
…
“We have 530 square miles in Davidson County, and with the level of our staffing, we can’t pull 70 officers away from the streets of Nashville, keeping our communities safe, and put them in schools at this time,” Drake said. “If we accepted [the grant] right now, we would have to have those positions filled by June…30, 2024. Otherwise, we have to give it back, and we can’t accept funding if we don’t have those positions.”

Drake said the department’s goal is to one day fill the 70 fulltime elementary SRO positions. In the meantime, he will add a new School Rapid Response Team of highly-trained officers to respond to emergencies. Also, each precinct will send extra patrols around elementary schools.

I understand. if you need cops and don’t have them, you either hire from other agencies or more than likely they have to be trained and have at least a year on the job to shake the rookie thing.  But then again, the idea is to have somebody to respond to an immediate threat with deadly force which could be done by training school personnel.

But that would make the Usual Political Suspects lose their minds and they cannot have that.

I have a love for beautiful songs with incredibly sad lyrics.

One that hit my list from a few years ago is If I Die Young by The Band Perry.

There is a Country-Rock band that I’ve started enjoying, named Whiskey Meyers.

They did a sort of remake of If I Die Young that hit me hard.

Enjoy.

The radical front of the anti-gun movement is not new to the practice of doxxing gun owners.

A decade ago, a newspaper in New York published the private information of all the NYC Pistol Permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties.

Other news outlets have done similar.

From Outdoor Life:

The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tenn., published a similar database in 2011. The Roanoke Times published lists of handgun permitees as early as 2007. The New York Times’ occasionally publishes the names of those with New York City concealed carry permits.

Just last year, the Associated Press demanded, and received, the names of the approximately 1.3 million Illinois residents whom the Illinois State Police have deemed “qualified” to own guns.

The bullshit justification that these news outlets use is that it is of public interest for people to know which of their neighbors are a threat.

Except that all of the data shows that people who get gun permits are one of the most law abiding demographics in thr country.  People who submit themselves for training abd background checks are not committing gun crimes.

This a public shaming and intimidation tactic.

Now Students Demand Action is doing the same to FFLs.

Your neighbor could be manufacturing and selling guns out of their home and you wouldn’t even know it. The latest @Everytown research report includes a map of federally licensed gun dealers in your area.

Screen grab for posterity if the Tweet gets deleted.

These people are often referred to as Kitchen Table Dealers.

With the rise of websites like Gunbroker and Guns America, these people mostly deal online and process transfers.

These are people who went through the rigorous process of getting an FFL from the ATF.

Students Demand Action wants you to believe that these people make your neighborhoods more dangerous.  There us no evidence for that at all.

This has nothing to do with gun safety.

They want the neighborhood anti-gun busy body harass their nearby FFL just to be a bitch.

If anything, this will promote crime by giving criminals an idea of which homes to target for theft.

Students Demand Action are anti-gun Child Heroes, out to harm law abiding people to advance their ideology.

I was thinking more about bariatric surgery so mom can cease being a bipedal land whale and return to being a woman.

Here is the full pic:

After a bit of Google sleuthing, I found out that they are sharing a refreshment at a vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Chicago called The Chicago Diner. Sure as hell mom did not get that way by consuming Truffle Mushroom Lenti Loaf and Quinoa Chili (I am not making this up, it is in their menu.)

The article stats that they are in Chicago to see if they can keep the 13-year-old girl on puberty blockers. I believe the issue should be if they can install a mouth blocker on mom.

Again, later in life I predict that mutilated children will eventually take revenge on their parents for destroying their lives and if I am ever selected for jury duty in one of those cases, my vote will be an automatic “not guilty”.

I have been watching his videos lately. We need to be this “toxic.”

First, thank you to Miguel for creating this fantastic place. Thank you to J.Kb. for contributing. Thank you to both of you for allowing me to be an author here.

Just over a year ago, Miguel announced his retirement to J.Kb. and myself in a private email. We considered a couple of different options, one of which was to just move it to Substack with a Patreon style of support system. We all wanted to have some small amount of monetization from the blog.

I suggested a pay to comment with some content being restricted. Miguel and J.Kb. allowed me to try that.

It didn’t really work.

We pay for a number of things directly for the blog. The total for all of those services is around $1000/year. Those include the different yearly subscriptions for certain plugins and other direct paid support.

In addition to that, there is another $600/year for the servers that host the blog.

In prior years, there was an additional $600/year to me. The minimum cost for the blog per year was $2200. Miguel paid all of that out of pocket. He asked for money once a year to pay me and the hosting costs.

In other words, this blog cost him money.

I can no longer charge for my work on the blog. That’s good because I have spent countless hours, easily well over 200 hours. I work dirt cheap at $50/hour, that’s $10,000 of billable time. That does NOT include any of the time I spend writing.

We are seeing the renewals happening now. I did not break even last year. I won’t break even this year.

I do care. It doesn’t matter. I’ve been in love with this blog for many years. I lost it for a couple of years. Realized I was missing it, went and found it. I’ve never left.

The comments you leave help so much. It tells me when I get things right. I stumbled onto a new gun blog yesterday, went looking through their postings, and there was reference to one of my case analysis. That single back link made me smile through a rather shitty day.

So, I thank all of you.

If you want to help the blog out financially, please sign up for one of the membership levels. The lowest level is $1/month. The highest is $5/month. You do have to pay for a year at a time.

Here’s wishing all of you a great year. Remember that we do want guest postings, and I mean real guest posts, not the “If you say yes, we’ll spend 30 seconds and send you an article with the word “gun” in it and 1000 words talking about us.” Yeah, we get about 1 a week of those.

My standard reply to them is something similar to, “That sounds great, what is your favorite 45-70 load?” I’ve never gotten a reply to that question.

This is a feedback article. Comments are open to all.
