THE OODA LOOP... REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEBODY...

-- "Jordan Salinas, 35, reached for his shoulder holster and drew an FN Five-Seven — a semi-automatic pistol with a suppressor fixed to the barrel. He then worked through the framework he’d practiced for years." --

Nota bene...

-- "'He did not like it when bullets started firing both ways,' Salinas said Sunday morning." --

More here. 

UPDATE: First casualty revealed...

-- "A 23-year-old woman, Ashley Garibay, of Stockton, Calif., has been identified as one of those killed when a gunman opened fire at an Idaho In-N-Out this weekend. Garibay was one of three killed during the harrowing shooting, which left several others wounded." --

NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

-- "A heroic armed citizen tried to take out a gunman who opened fire on an Idaho In-N-Out, according to heart-stopping video and witnesses. Harrowing footage shows a man with a handgun exchanging fire with the shooter with a rifle outside the restaurant in Twin Falls. Police have yet to announce the identity and motive of the deceased gunman." --

Video here. 

UPDATE: Dead gunman identified as Chad Williams, 24 

In other 'Good Guy with a Gun' news...

-- "'The surveillance video shows [the shooter] Sapirman exit the restroom at 5:56:48 p.m.,' Ison said. 'He was neutralized by Dicken at 5:57:03 p.m.'" --

YOU MEAN, RIGHT AFTER THE TRUDEAU LIBERALS FIRST GOT ELECTED?

-- "'The Canadian Firearms Program cannot speculate as to the causes or other external factors that may affect licensing trends at any point in time in any location,' wrote RCMP spokesperson Robin Percival in an email to CBC News." --  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA...

-- "The Declaration is one of those printed in Exeter, New Hampshire, between July 16 and 19, 1776 and is now one of only 11 known to survive, and the only Exeter Declaration held outside of the United States." --

Freedom isn't free...

-- "By the end, they had produced 42,088 musket balls from the statue of George III. It remains one of the great acts of political poetry in American history." --

BAN SOCCER NOW... POLYSESOUVIENT WAS APPARENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT...

-- "A 19-year-old woman is among three people to have died from suffocation during World Cup celebrations in Mexico City on Tuesday. A 48-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man also died after crowds descended on the city." --

It makes at least as much sense as punishing legal firearms owners for the crimes of inner-city gangbangers. 

 I'm looking forward to Liberal's 'Steak Knife Registry'...

-- "One person has been taken to hospital after being stabbed near Ellesmere Road and Meadowvale Road in Scarborough on Wednesday afternoon." --

THE SLAUGHTER CONTINUES... CITIZEN GROUPS CALL FOR 'ESCALATOR CONTROL'...

-- "A man has died after he fell from an escalator at RioCan Empress Walk mall in North York on Thursday afternoon. The mall was evacuated and closed as a result." --

Say... what's going on in Mississauga and Brampton?

TORONTO GANGBANGERS ARE LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF... '

-- "In a media statement today, the group PolySeSouvient urges the federal Liberals to halt new sales of SKS models, saying it would close an obvious gap and send a clear signal. Since May 2020, Ottawa has outlawed about 2,500 types of firearms on the basis they belong only on the battlefield." --

Legal, registered firearms are a convenient target...

-- "Blurring the distinction between criminals and lawful sport shooters does not make Canadians safer. It makes it easier for honest people to be punished." --

When will the Liberals start banning specific models of cars? 

You really want to save lives... BAN SOCCER! 

HERE'S THE REAL PROBLEM...

-- "Footage played in court Wednesday showed just how nonchalant A.P. and K.A. were as they repeated instructions to shoot Selvasingam in the head, and discussed the possibility of earning a bonus if they provided video proof, Reid said." --

LEFTY CHICK WHO GREW UP UNDER PINOCHET WANTS NEW 'SUPER-DUPER GUN CONTROL' LAWS...

-- "Montreal’s Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada says MORE gun control is needed to prevent shootings like the one that saw three people die, including a police officer and a civilian, on Monday. The shooter, identified as 25-year-old Seth Scott Hatfield of Lethbridge, Alta., also died in the gunfire." --

Dear Mayor Soroya... I had no idea it was legal to walk around downtown Montreal with a loaded rifle. 

Wait... it's not?   So what do my legally registered firearms have to do with this crazy fuck?

SHUTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY...

-- "After getting this Sportster running again, I tore it back down and rebuilt it into a clean, rideable Indiana chopper for $791.62. Original mags, mid-controls, clean bars, real suspension, and only what it needs to ride. No shortcuts—just fixing what mattered first, then building it into something better." --

HMMM... JUST AS CARNEY LIBERALS PUSH LEGISLATION TO CURB FREE SPEECH...

-- "I’ve just heard 3 people who were reporting on riots in Northern Ireland using their YouTube accounts have been arrested. They were not involved in any rioting, they are not involved in any criminal activity." --

Meanwhile... back in our 'basic dictatorship'...

-- "The Liberals are gearing up to force Bill C-22 through committee and the House of Commons in just days." --

NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

-- "'During the confrontation, the suspect fired multiple rounds at the homeowner. The homeowner returned fire, striking and killing the suspect,' the release said." --

MARK CARNEY'S 'PROFESSIONAL' PREPAID JOURNALISM...

-- "Staff in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Privy Council Office attended a closed-door March 10 meeting to discuss which reporters would be 'blacklisted or accredited,'  Access To Information records show.  Carney weeks later commemorated World Press Freedom Day by announcing: 'A strong, independent and free press both defines and defends our values.'" --

You wouldn't understand... it's a Liberal thing.

NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

-- "A carjacker is dead after a dramatic confrontation in a Garland, Texas parking lot, where police say a driver opened fire to protect passengers, including two small children, inside a targeted vehicle." --

And justice for all...

-- "The driver of the white car, who was armed, moved to the passenger side of the vehicle and fired more than 10 rounds, striking the man.  Garland Police confirmed the armed man will not face charges." --

Garland, Texas... that sounds so familiar...

-- "The woman behind the Draw Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas, that was the target last weekend of an attack by Islamist militants says she has no regrets." --

Bonus riff... Triple Taser Tuesday

NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

GOTTA CONFESS... I'M LEANING TOWARDS THE NON-CBC PLAN...

-- "Security film, which strengthens window glass making it harder to break, is just one of a number of steps Mulvihill and other Toronto homeowners have been taking to make to make their houses more difficult to break into given the rise in home invasions." --

If the police have surrendered... you only have so many options. 

And the politicians do what they always do...

-- "City Councillors Dianne Saxe and Rachel Chernos Lin passed a motion last month to have Toronto Police to prepare a report on home invasions." --

THE REAL QUESTION IS... HOW LONG BEFORE THEY TURN HIM LOOSE AGAIN...

-- "Michael Kyle Breen, the man accused of breaking into a Lindsay, Ont., apartment last year in a case that became a political flashpoint over Canadians’ rights to defend their homes has pleaded guilty. Jeremy David McDonald initially faced assault charges after he used a knife to confront Breen, leaving him with life-threatening injuries." --

NOW DO THE UNITED NATIONS...

-- “Why do we send trillions of dollars and have all of these American forces stationed in the region, if in our time of need, we won’t be allowed to use those bases?” --

IT'S WORTH THE DRIVE TO AJAX...

-- "Designed exclusively for women, the 'Lethal Ladies' package delivers a supportive, empowering, and high-energy shooting experience.  Guided by professional Range Officers, you’ll learn proper technique, build confidence, and master modern firearms in a comfortable environment." --

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE.

WHAT'S THE LATEST FROM MINISTER SATHIYASANGAREE 'CALL ME GARY' ANANDASANGAREE?

-- "House of Commons member Dane Lloyd said, 'Minister, the declaration period for firearms owners is scheduled to end next week. So far, only 2.5 percent of the estimated two million effected firearms have been declared and 98 percent firearms owners haven’t made a declaration. So, if they’re not declaring by next week, what’s your plan, Minister?'" --

THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID A LITTLE WHILE AGO...

And while Liberals target legal, registered firearms owners...

-- "Samir Abdelgadir, 45, was found guilty of kidnapping a 14-year-old Toronto boy from a Driftwood Avenue social housing complex to cover his half-brother’s drug debt has been sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison." --

LAVRENTIY BERIA WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT...

-- "Ottawa is pushing ahead with Bill C-22, arguing police need modern tools to keep up with criminals operating online.  Critics say the bill goes much further, forcing companies to track users, store sensitive data, and hand it over without traditional grounds." --

It gets better...

-- "Privacy lawyer David Fraser warns it could enable sweeping access to Canadians’ devices and location history." --

Let's face it, cops can't even keep crackheads from firing up on the subway.

What does 'Runkle of the Bailey' say? 

MEANWHILE...

-- "Doug Ford is changing the law to shield his phone records from scrutiny." --

And from the comments at SDA...

-- "Next the government will want to confiscate your pick up truck because it’s dangerous and bad for the environment, or your Starlink modem because it is dangerous and spreads misinformation.   If they get away with the gun grab there is no stopping them." --

NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

-- "The debate over self-defence law in Canada has been thrust back into the spotlight following an incident in Vaughn, Ontario.   York Regional Police have decided not to charge a homeowner who shot and wounded one of three armed and masked suspects who had allegedly forced their way into the man's home.'" --

From the comments...

-- "Why doesn't National Post interview Gary Anandasangaree asking him his thoughts on the Vaughan homeowners use of gun use." --
