Chicago shootings this weekend:
Also in Chicago, ,many people who have been arrested for shooting & killing but not yet tried can do things like go to rap concerts out of state
they might even eventually try the self-defense thing, especially the ones already on parole are likely to try it:

OK, AMAZING photos from Ft. DETRICK today in Maryland showing saw how "MILITARY JUSTICE" works when a member decides to go postal with his firearm--fuggedabout cops much less social workers, don't need them, call out the firing squad, shoot first, investigate later. The mission: save as much cannon fodder as possible; except when you do your presser, don't call them that, call them "the naval community" or some such?

"regular Durham things" !!!
...It was a very violent weekend in Durham where another young life was cut short....
“I was standing outside. I heard a couple of gunshots,” said one neighbor who didn’t want to be identified.
People who live in Durham sadly know this matter all too well. “You know regular Durham things. I know a lot of kids. I know a lot of them personally that ain’t here anymore,” he said.
“It’s sad. Nobody got to die over nothing,” said another neighbor who was on the scene...

Guns are no good. Other weapons do not provide this sort of reliable damage.
It's generally believed by a lot of people that the American civilization is in decline and with that decline is going to come the end to the right to own firearms.

what happens to social workers' city cars when you defund police, then change your mind, but police don't want to come back?

Despite posting anti-gun stuff here on Dagblog for well on ten years, I briefly got an NRA membership (I since have not renewed it) a few years ago.
Why? I'll tell you why and it will clue in to one big barrier to gun control.
If you look at the NRA store, you will find that they provide a lot of gear for security officers. I went through multiple security belts before I finally gave in and ordered one from the NRA store. Membership was required to be able to buy a high quality one for only $12 so I did it.
Being a security guard got to be way too much for me after doing it during the George Floyd / Black Lives Matter riots and Covid and I quit it and the NRA, never to look back.
I posted earlier about the Byrna self defense device. I think this strategy works. There should be organizations and magazines that explore outdoor living, home security and all the realms that provide a gateway to guns without any involvement of firearms. As David Frum said, it's about convincing Americans that guns make people less safe, not more.

What I learned from closely watching this kind of news for while: there's so many who think they are competent using a handgun until they aren't! Police included. Actually, truth be told, the crazy folks who end up mass murdering with the automatic rifles built for that purpose seem at least to have some control over their weapons! They're basically "hunting", it's just humans that are the prey. More and more seems to me handguns are far more dangerous overall just because no one takes them seriously (they're not as symbolically frightening as a big monster machine substitute for a penis.) And it's clear to me even though I've never used one, that physically and neurologically, they are way harder to control. (Thinking of the Barney Fife character now, his hand and arm shaking as he aims his gun, his face broken out in sweat, probably peeing in his pants...)

on a lighter note, Orion, just ran across this joking which almost seems like they know you!

sorry prison abolitionists, the reality is some people are just bad and unfortunately current medicine doesn't know how to fix that so we still need to lock some of them up in some way, they just can't be let out and about -

WTF kind of reasoning is this? Do they think that Memphis rap gangs are going to go allout warfare on the streets over this, or perhaps does everyone in Memphis think it was cops who shot him while he was buying cookies? Geez

think there's no cops around on the CTA? wrong, big brother watching on the camera:
thing is: it's pretty much proven that seeing human cops standing around has a deterrent effect (just like having "dads" standing around in the high school). Certainly didn't happen here, but will humans ever start thinking of the camera the same way, as a human presence?
