In an interview that’s equal parts amusing and alarming, Indiana’s Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears recently lamented an increase in self-defense shootings in Indianapolis.
Mears complained to reporters that shootings involving self-defense claims are challenging to prosecute. This “mean[s] that someone lost their life” and “that case might ultimately be cleared” without the shooter being charged, he said.
Yes, that’s how self-defense is supposed to work.

Or at least seem to want war? It is a great question that any lover of liberty, and any soldier (or Marine or airman or sailor or Guardian) would love to know the answers for.
Seldom are the rulers and leaders of various nations honest about desiring war. Indeed, they are constantly babbling on about seeking peace and preserving peace.
Yet we see that their actions often do not match their rhetoric.
No, this isn’t about nations having arms to defend themselves. Generally, disarmament does not keep or lead to peace. Theoretically, if all nations disarmed themselves, there would peace – or at least a lack of war. But then, theoretically, Communism works. And theoretically spending more money on education produces a better education for all those students. But the real world isn’t like that.
Why? There are no doubt several reasons government leaders want war. Let us look at a few.
First, as Randolph Bourne wrote way back during the First World War, “War is the health of the state.” From the War of 1812 and the many Indian Wars, through the War between the States, Spanish-Amer...

Kelly Residence, about 150 yards from the border with Mexico, image from Zillow
Border rancher, George Allen Kelly, 75-years-old was on trial, charged with the death of an illegal alien who had been deported numerous times. The body of Gabriel Cuen Buitimea (48) had been found in the mesquite about 115 yards from the rural home of George Allen Kelly and his wife, Wanda. The husband and wife had retired to Arizona in 2002 after careers as a state fisheries biologist and a school teacher in Lincoln, Montana.
On January 30, 2023, George Allen Kelly called Border Patrol and said he heard a shot, he might have to return fire. Investigators come out. They don't find anything. Late in the evening, Kelly finds the body of Gabriel Cuen Buitimea, about 115 yards from the house. He calls Border patrol again. The authorities investigate. The put the body in...
It all started when a woman and her boyfriend were "relaxing" in the driveway of their home on the 3000 block of Boone Street on April 24, according to the Memphis Police Department (MPD). That was when someone the couple both knew walked up and started arguing with the man.
"I'm going to make your mother cry," Davian Walker told the man, according to police.
Walker, 37, then took out a gun and fired several shots at the man, who produced his own weapon and fired back, police said.
Two suspects entered a home by force around 1:54 p.m. in the 8000 block of South Carpenter Street that was inhabited by one man and two women, police told FOX32.
Both of the men attacked the man inside the house before stealing items from the house, according to authorities.
They left on foot and soon after the incident one of them was shot in the body. The injured suspect was later taken to an area hospital in critical condition, officials said.
Unclear how the suspect was shot.
It's rodeo season and our church is big on rodeo. For myself, I know very little about the various games, but the big rule seems to be Don't Fall Off.

Another winter has departed from the Upper Midwestern landscape. Stream trout season is open; turkeys are gobbling; crappies have moved into shallow bays; and thousands upon thousands are chasing willing walleyes on rivers.
I can remember learning as a kid that blooming lilacs and oak leaves the size of a squirrel’s ear signaled two springtime activities: shallow-water crappie fishing and morel mushroom hunting.
With a bead on the weather, you know it’s morel hunting time when night-time temps are consistent in the high 40s to low 50s at night with daytime temps in the 60s, occasional rain, and a return to soil temperatures between 45 and 50 degrees.

I was going to call this column “Knuckle dragging, poo slinging monkey”. A girlfriend of mine uses this description of her in-laws. Knowing the situation, I gently pointed out that in reality, the monkeys in the zoo have more dignity and behave better than her in-laws. Sad, but still true. She and I were visiting today, and she was talking about Germany during the Holocaust when the Christians in the church just sang louder as the cattle cars passed by their churches with people screaming for help, to avoid hearing their cries you see. I told her about a radio show I had listened to this morning when the host was recounting his father telling him about American and European history. He said they Holocaust and the times of Rome when Christians were fed to lions couldn’t happen again, not today, people were much better informed and had better access to information.

The Queen Of The World and I are huge fans of that movie.
Javier Milei of Argentina spoke a while back at Davos, Switzerland to a rather hostile crowd at the World Economic Forum (WEF). View it here (the actual talking starts about 4 minutes into the recording.) We understand that some people reported that all of six people applauded his words. No doubt part of that was because he clearly stated that “the state is not the solution” but rather that the state is the “problem itself.” He attacked all of the WEF’s most prized sacred cows.
One of the greatest problems in the Argentine is the vast network and history of corruption in government (and really, most walks of life). It is not alone in that: many if not all Hispanic nations have such a background and such a problem. Including such nations as New Mexico, Arizona, and California. It started in Old Spain, and no doubt is tied in part to the glorification of kings and the military during the 700+ years of Reconquista. Liberating their people and land fr...

thinking seems like two things – a powerful engine (good memory, fast computation, abstractions) and a steering wheel (avoiding cognitive biases, noticing when beliefs are incentivized). But it’s way easier to tell if you’ve got a weak engine than if you’re missing steering
Our brains are super bad at noticing steering problems. We just steer straight into whatever validates us, and the faster your car goes there, the smarter we think we are. This is how u get people like my dad, who’s IQ tested 140+, but thinks evolution is a lie.
It also seems like it’s pretty hard to improve your engine, but it’s a lot easier to improve steering, given deliberate practice. I’d rather have a weak engine in a car that’s pointed in the right direction, than a powerful one in a car that’s pointed in the wrong direction.
Greg Ellifritz put up an informative post on social media regarding the (in)efficacy of birdshot in a home defense role recently.
"I got my first shotgun instructor certification in 1999. I’ve been teaching shotgun skills longer than some of these commentators have been alive. I carried a shotgun every day in a 25-year police career and used those shotguns to convince some very bad men to submit to arrest. I’ve seen, treated, and investigated gunshot wounds from birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. I’ve killed lots of critters with shotguns in the hunting fields. I’ve attended countless shotgun ballistic gelatin shooting demonstrations and autopsies of victims killed with shotgun pellets. I’ve written 162 different articles on using the shotgun for self defense as well as producing the largest firearms stopping power research study in the last two decades.

It is an old idea in my field of sociology that SOCIAL CONDITIONS EXIST but SOCIAL PROBLEMS ARE DEFINED. The process of taking a social condition and getting people to recognize it as a social problem often entails ADVOCACY.
According to a foundational statement by John Kitsuse and Malcolm Spector, social problems are “the activities of individuals or groups making assertions of grievances and claims with respect to some putative conditions” (Constructing Social Problems, 1977, p. 75). Joseph Gusfield’s analysis of the movement against drinking-driving in The Culture of Public Problems (1980) is an exemplar of understanding how science and law helped to construct “drunk driving” as a social problem. The emergence of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) highlights the way that interest groups and social movements ...

Surprise Police say two suspects attempted to break into a home. The homeowner opened fire, striking one of the suspects.
Officers arrived at the scene and took both suspects into custody, one of whom was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
One of the suspects was identified as 19-year-old Kason Nelson. The second suspect is a juvenile.
On April 24, police released more information on this case, saying, "During the investigation, detectives learned that the homeowner involved is currently renting to a tenant who knows the suspects. The suspects told investigators, under Miranda Warnings, that they came to visit the tenant. However, Surprise Police detectives, with assistance from the K-9 unit, located a firearm and other items indicating the suspects were intending to commit a burglary."
Atlanta investigators learned the man was reportedly asked to leave the lounge but came back with a gun and fired shots into the building.
APD said security at the lounge then shot back, hitting the suspect.

Researchers create artificial cells that act like living cells (phys.org)

“The synthetic cells were stable even at 122 degrees Fahrenheit, opening up the possibility of manufacturing cells with extraordinary capabilities in environments normally unsuitable to human life,” Freeman says.

Something had my back all jacked up last night. I didn't get a lot of really good sleep.
In connection with my project of articulating The Master Narrative of Democracy-Destroying Right-Wing Gun Culture in the field of gun studies, I have been reading political scientist Alexandra Filindra’s Race, Rights, and Rifles: The Origins of the NRA and Contemporary Gun Culture (buy it via this Bookshop.org affiliate link). It’s an interesting book with a unique argument about the history of the National Rifle Association.
When reviewing it, I, of course, looked at the blurbs on the back cover to see what scholarly firepower Filindra was invoking to support her work.
I found Rogers Smith’s blurb quite interesting because it reflects what I might (tongue firmly in cheek) call “gun derangement syndrome.”

As soon as the MG08/15 “light” machine gun was adopted by Germany, it was recognized as an ideal basis for an aircraft gun. Weight was of the essence for WW1 aircraft, and a lightened Maxim was just the thing to use. So the Spandau Arsenal began producing the LMG08/15 (the “L” in which might stand for either air-cooled or lightweight; we really don’t know which) in May 1916. In addition to cutting a ton of lightening slots in the water jacket, the guns also had mechanisms added to allow a pilot to cycle both the bolt and the feed system from behind the gun (something not possible with a standard ground model). The example we are looking at today has a great example of an early style of such device completely intact…

On April 18, 2024, the Supreme Court of Arkansas delivered a significant opinion impacting the restoration of the right to keep and bear arms. In particular, the court re-affirmed the right to bear arms is a fundamental constitutional right. The denial of the right is a harm which confers standing to those denied, and the procedural powers of the state judiciary, as a separate, constitutionally created branch of the state government, do not necessarily extend beyond the courtroom to the courthouse.
The issue was whether Arkansas state statute § 5-73-122 - b, as modified in 2017, violated the Arkansas state constitution. The state constitution grants separate powers to the state judiciary. Before 2017, the statute limited who could possess handguns in courtrooms. Officers of the court (lawyers) were allowed. Here is the relevant statute f...
When a woman's estranged husband angrily broke into a Marrero home early Sunday morning looking to confront her and her current boyfriend, authorities say the boyfriend opened fire to defend himself, wounding the ex and accidentally shooting her in the process.
The woman, 33, was taken to a hospital in stable condition after she was shot in the abdomen, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
Her estranged husband, Derrick Miller, 35, was shot multiple times and also transported to a hospital, said Sgt. Brandon Veal, sheriff's spokesperson.
On April 21, 2024, at about 9:40 p.m., Dallas Police responded to an assist call in the 700 block of Cantregral Street.
The preliminary investigation determined a private investigator was attempting to take the suspect, Kaland Spencer, 29, into custody for outstanding warrants. The investigator fired his gun and shot Spencer after he stole a bystander’s car and was driving away from the location.
Spencer was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment and arrested for his warrants, Assault on a Security Guard, and UUMV.
This investigation is ongoing and has been referred to the Dallas County Grand Jury.

When a publicity agent from Hatherleigh Press reached out to see if I would review the cookbook, “A Return to Ireland: A culinary journey from American to Ireland,” by Judith McLoughlin, I immediately responded, “Yes!”
For two reasons, I jumped onboard: First, I wanted to try the recipes out on my family, some who live nearby and others who would be visiting over the holidays and into the new year, and second, because some day I plan on spending time in Ireland. It’s on my bucket list. Having lived in England for three years, I regret that we didn’t make the effort to head over to the east, to visit the Emerald Isle. Now, I am thinking if I were to go, I’d definitely see about asking Judith to be my guide (more about that later).
