There are several counties in Texas that to counter burglaries and home invasion robberies passed ordinances requiring every household in the county to have a firearm for protection...the crime rate in each of those counties quickly fell to almost zero (the number not the president).
I have an old Colt Automatic that I have had for over 30 years. Investigating the rules here in California, I realized registering the danged thing and getting myself registered was a nightmare...I wonder what would happen if I used it to defend the home and wife. Would I be in more trouble than the perp???

Given the difficulty of dealing with students today I hesitate to subject teachers to the temptation of a readily available firearm. I would suggest a remotely released lockbox that can be opened for trained and willing teachers by police or principal in the event of a threat.

Move to El Dorado County. Sheriff D’Agostini and the EDSO are still Suportivs of the 2nd Amendment and the county population still is overwhelmingly traditionally American.
The way the rest of California used to be before the invasion. Now, 20+% of the state is foreign born. In the states most populous county L, that figure is over 40%.
[RT] The FBI’s failure to heed warnings about Florida mass shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, who reportedly expressed the desire to attack a school online, suggests authorities overlooked a youth subculture obsessed with mass shootings.
The FBI received a tip-off after alarming comments from a user called ’Nikolas Cruz’ were posted under a Youtube video published by Ben Bennight in September 2017. "I want to be a professional school shooter," it read, Bennight recalls. The same user also reportedly commented under a video about another shooter, Elliot Rodger, who killed six and injured 14 near the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Santa Barbara in 2014.
Under another video about a sniper shooting at the University of Texas in 1966, Cruz reportedly wrote: "I am going to [do] what he did." Bennight contacted the FBI in Mississippi to report the shooter comment, emailing a screenshot of the comment and phoning the agency. He also flagged it with Youtube, which removed the remark. He met with FBI agents and gave an interview at his office on September 25, but didn’t hear from them again until 30 minutes after Cruz was tossed in the clink I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! on Wednesday.
The FBI also failed to follow up on a call made to an agency tip line six weeks before the Parkland school attack. The tip-off was from someone who knew Cruz and reportedly detailed his "gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting."
Following the high school attack on Valentine’s Day, FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement that the bureau is looking into how it failed to address the threat and respond to information from the public. Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... as Florida reeled from the US’ most deadly school shooting, an online community that obsesses over and even fetishizes mass killers shared tasteless Valentines Day memes featuring known school shooters and mass murderers.
"Columbiners"
The online ’true crime community’ consists of people who pore over details of gruesome crimes and the lives of the perpetrators. A big subsection of this group, known as "Columbiners," are obsessed with the 1999 Columbine High School mass shooting and its perpetrators, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
Columbiners discuss the shooters and their crimes on forums, social media groups and Tumblr blogs dedicated to the pair. The community is made up of a mix of young people who appear drawn to the shooters on a personal level, and those intrigued by the case because of an interest in criminology and psychology.
While some posts seen by RT.com rail against the bullying experienced by Harris and Klebold, others appear infatuated by the teenagers, looking to them like a boyband crush, creating fan art and detailing romantic fantasies involving the killers.
Dylann Roof, who killed nine black churchgoers in South Carolina in 2015, and serial killer Ted Bundy also make an appearance on these blogs, often depicted in a positive and even revered way.
Columbine-inspired Halifax shooting foiled
Three years before the Valentine’s Day 2018 attack in Florida, police in Halifax, Canada foiled another attempted mass shooting planned for February 14 which was connected to the Columbiner subculture.
Lindsay Kanittha Souvannarath, Randall Steven Shepherd and James Gamble planned the attack at the Halifax shopping center in Canada. Gamble and Souvannarath reportedly posted an ad on Tumblr before their planned attack, and had an interest in the Columbine shooting. Souvannarath and Shepard were arrested at the airport before they could carry out the attack, and Gamble killed himself as his home was surrounded by police.
Gamble was also believed to be a fan of the Columbine killers. When asked by another Tumblr user whether he wore "boots like Dylan (Klebold)," he replied, "indeed I do," and posted a picture that showed him carrying a rifle and knife.
Although many Columbiners weren’t even born when the deadly school shooting took place, the events of that day have become something of a legend which attracts the attention of young people who glamorize and empathize with Harris and Klebold.

Drove past Columbine in August 1999. It looked indistinguishable from ADX Florence from the outside except for the lack of razor wire and guard towers. Easy to see how that vibe played into what went down there.
Columbiner sounds like a beer name. I know that's crass, but there it is...

IMO, mass murderers, if they are glorified, is among a relatively small whacko segment of society. It is surprising there are not more incidents considering the widespread exposure to violence. The value for life has been degraded by movies, games, TV and print media. There has been a constant hammering away at religious, moral, cultural, and family values that have often provided a check on behavior in the past. Some few in our society respond to these messages and act out on them.
Years ago, firearms were widely available without all the government restrictions. Mass murders were unknown or at least rare. So, it is not the availability of firearms that result in these mass murders. In addition to firearms, people have used box cutters and airplanes, rental trucks, sarin gas (Japan), cyanide (Jonestown), swords, pressure cookers and explosives to murder people. These things are generally considered one-off things. There is usually silence about control of of any of these items. But for some reason, firearms are considered differently.
Most people who own firearms are law-abiding, responsible, and sane people. I would say, that the obsessive and constant drumbeat for gun control or confiscation every time one these incidents occurs seems a bit unhinged and a little crazy. The call for gun control or gun confiscation happens before anything is really known about the individual(s) who perpetrated the crime.
Could it be that gun control and confiscation is not really about safety and security but about control of the populace? Suppose we did not have the second amendment, as often seems to be desired by many in our society? Suppose it did not exist; would this make us safer? Would this not open the door for tyranny? History would indicate that it would.
Hat Tip: gCaptain. Even video...Severe peasantry. What we have here is a failure to communicate.
People vacationing on a Carnival cruise line this week in the South Pacific had their trip turned upside down thanks to a series of violent brawls that seemed to transform the ship from a paradise into a fight club.
The Carnival Legend was forced to escort several guests off the ship and place them on a smaller boat ahead of the boat's docking in Australia on Saturday.
Several fights broke out over the 10-day cruise, including two captured on camera showing guests throwing punches on a pool deck and a ship nightclub.
Passengers have described the trip as the "cruise from hell."
The second video showed people yelling, crying, throwing punches and a crew member repeatedly kicking a guest on the floor.
Passengers have said members of an extended family started trouble with other guests constantly, some passengers just stayed inside their rooms to avoid the group.
Kellie Petersen, who was with her husband and three children, told local reporters she was afraid.
"Fights have been going on for a few days now," she said. "We're scared. We've been told to watch our backs by this group so we're scared to go anywhere alone in the ship.
"We can't wait to get off," she added.
In a statement to USA TODAY, the cruise line said it is investigating.
"Our security team responded in several instances to extremely unruly behavior by these guests while the ship was at sea," the statement reads. "The actions seen on the video by our security team are not in line with our values and policies."
It's unclear exactly how and why the fights started, but one family member told local media it may have originated because of a misunderstanding after someone stepped on someone else's flip-flop.
Several of the family members were kicked off the ship and taken by local authorities. Guests filmed them boarding a smaller vessel and booed.
The cruise line offered all guest aboard a 25% credit to make up for the issues.
"We sincerely regret that the unruly conduct and actions of the passengers removed from the ship in Australia may have prevented our guests from fully enjoying their cruise," the company said in a statement. In today's lawless atmosphere, the cruise lines will need a brig, and a plank for the real bad ones to walk.

Schedule a stop at Pitcairn Island, where going ashore means staying ashore.
[AlAhram] According to a ministry statement, FGM among teenage girls fell 13 percent in six years due to government policies, new laws and raised awareness.
Egypt's Health Ministry said on Sunday that the rate of the female genital mutilation (FGM) among teenage girls from 15 to 17 years old fell from 74 percent in 2008 to 61 percent in 2014.
The Egyptian government criminalised FGM in 2008. In 2016, the House of Representatives passed amendments in the law criminalising FGM, designating the practice a felony and mandating stricter punishments for those convicted of performing the procedure.
A 2014 demographic and health survey showed that the FGM rate among females aged 15-49 in Egypt stood at 92 percent. More than 75 percent of cases were of girls aged nine to 12, while 14 percent were aged seven or younger.
Nevertheless, the ministry statement highlighted that the 2014 survey showed a decline in the FGM practice in the countryside, compared to past surveys in 2005 and 1998.
The first FGM conviction was in January 2015, seven years after the practice was criminalised, when a father and a doctor were convicted of the death of a 13-year-old girl who died during an FGM operation.
[All Africa] University of Zim-bob-we (UZ) vice-chancellor Levi Nyagura allegedly took the institution's lecturers to Grace Mugabe's Mazowe orphanage so she could take oral examinations for her disputed Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, a Harare court heard yesterday.
Nyagura (72) was tossed in the calaboose Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! on Friday for alleged criminal abuse of office for his role in the awarding of the degree to the former first lady.
Harare magistrate Tilda Mazhande was told Nyagura single-handedly accepted the wife of former president Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... 's application to study for the PhD without the knowledge of the UZ's sociology department.
Prosecutor Oscar Madhume said in 2011 Nyagura approved Ntombizodwa G Marufu (Grace's maiden name) application without the knowledge and recommendations of the departmental board and faculty of higher degrees committee in violation of UZ quality assurance guidelines and benchmark.
He said during the same period, Nyagura appointed Professor Claude Mararike and Professor Chaneta to supervise Grace without the knowledge and approval of the department.
Nyagura is accused of usurping the powers of the UZ senate by single-handedly appointing examiners for Mugabe's research in violation of the UZ Act chapter 25:16 and Ordinance 1998/99.
Nyagura allegedly led supervisors and examiners to Mugabe's Mazowe orphanage, where the defence oral examination was purportedly done without the knowledge and approval of the academic committee while in actual fact the examination is supposed to be done at the UZ premises.
The prosecution alleged that during the same year, Nyagura recommended to Mugabe that Grace should be awarded the PhD.
This was allegedly done without the knowledge of the UZ council and academic committee.
The sociology department distanced itself from both the candidate and awarding of the degree as it was done without their knowledge. Prosecutors said Grace did not meet the minimum requirements to study for the degree.
Nyagura, who is represented by advocate Lewis Uriri, pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to the charges and was remanded to March 5 on $200 bail.
As part of his bail conditions, Nyagura was ordered not to interfere with State witnesses who include lecturers.

I don't see her PhD being any less valuable than most...
[AlAhram] Women in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... can now open their own businesses without the consent of a husband or male relative, as the kingdom pushes to expand a fast-growing private sector.
The policy change, announced by the Saudi government on Thursday, also marks a major step away from the strict guardianship system that has ruled the country for decades.
"Women can now launch their own businesses and benefit from (governmental) e-services without having to prove consent from a guardian," the ministry of commerce and investment said on its website.
Under Saudi Arabia's guardianship system, women are required to present proof of permission from a male "guardian" -- normally the husband, father or brother -- to do any government paperwork, travel or enrol in classes.
Long dependent on crude production for economic revenue, Saudi Arabia is pushing to expand the country's private sector, including an expansion of female employment under a reform plan for a post-oil era.
While women still face a host of restrictions in the ultraconservative Moslem kingdom, Saudi Arabia's public prosecutor's office this month said it would begin recruiting women Sherlocks for the first time.
The kingdom has also opened 140 positions for women at airports and border crossings, a historic first that the government said drew 107,000 female applicants.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016.... , the powerful heir to the Saudi throne, has been leading the drive to expand the role of women in the workforce in recent months.
His father, King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, King of the Arabians, Sheikh of the Burning Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians.... , in September approved the end of a decades-long ban on driving, which goes into effect in June.
The 32-year-old prince pledged a "moderate, open" Saudi Arabia in October, breaking with ultra-conservative holy mans in favour of an image catering to foreign investors and Saudi youth.
Prince Mohammed is widely seen as the chief architect behind Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" reform programme, which seeks to elevate the percentage of women in the work force from 22 percent to nearly one-third.
[CBS] The name David Cornwell is probably unfamiliar to most of you, but he's an interesting person to talk to in these days of alleged political conspiracies, espionage, and a rekindling of the Cold War. He is an expert on secrets, a former spy himself, and the author of two dozen books, virtually all of them best sellers written under the pen name John le Carré.

...Mr. Cornwall is also spitefully anti-American, which explains why he's on CBS. Some of his books are incredible, especially the Smiley Trilogy (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy, and Smiley's People) and I still have no problem recommending those works to people. But in the years since, he's let it go full blast in public and in private. Unless it's an unambiguous apology for past statements, I don't wanna hear it.

Being "Spitefully Anti-American" has long been common in the British upper class. I'd wager anything he writes yet today is "approved by his masters." Given similar review would no doubt be Christopher Steele's pen farts and activities.
"JOHN LE CARRÉ: Ah, well a hard, practical reason. I was still in secret harness as you might say. I wrote my first three books from inside the intelligence world. The books had to be approved by my masters and were. But a condition was I had to choose a pen name. So I went to my publisher.
[WashingtonExaminer] Chinese security officers attempted to stop the American military aide carrying the nuclear football from following President Trump into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in November.
Axios reported Sunday the decision set off a chain of events that led chief of staff John Kelly to intervene and get in a physical altercation with a Chinese security officer.
According to the report, Chinese officials blocked the military aide carrying the nuclear football from following Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping into the Great Hall. The aide is supposed to be near Trump at all times.
When made aware of the situation, Kelly intervened and told the aide to keep walking and entering the hall. One Chinese official grabbed Kelly and Kelly shoved the man’s hand back. A Secret Service agent then grabbed the Chinese official and tackled him to the ground.
The report indicates Trump’s team properly informed the Chinese about security procedures before the trip. The nuclear football, which contains the codes the president must give to order a nuclear strike, was never in Chinese possession.
The Chinese apologized to the Americans after the incident.

...This was bad enough, but don't read too much into it. Chinese security enjoys screwing with the roundeyes when they come to kowtow, and it was nothing personal. Since we pushed back, however, it's not likely to happen again with DJT. On the other hand they're probably going to find something else to do.

On Thursday Nov. 9, when President Trump and his team visited Beijing's Great Hall of the People, Chief of Staff John Kelly and a U.S. Secret Service agent skirmished with Chinese security officials over the nuclear football.
I've spoken to five sources familiar with the events. Here's what happened, as they describe it:
- When the U.S. military aide carrying the nuclear football entered the Great Hall, Chinese security officials blocked his entry. (The official who carries the nuclear football is supposed to stay close to the president at all times, along with a doctor.)
- A U.S. official hurried into the adjoining room and told Kelly what was happening. Kelly rushed over and told the U.S. officials to keep walking — "We're moving in," he said — and the Americans all started moving.
- Then there was a commotion. A Chinese security official grabbed Kelly, and Kelly shoved the man’s hand off of his body. Then a U.S. Secret Service agent grabbed the Chinese security official and tackled him to the ground.
The whole scuffle was over in a flash, and the U.S. officials told about the incident were asked to keep quiet about it. Trump's team followed the normal security procedure to brief the Chinese before their visit to Beijing, according to a person familiar with the trip — but somebody at the Chinese end either didn't get the memo or decided to mess with the Americans anyway.
I'm told that at no point did the Chinese have the nuclear football in their possession or even touch the briefcase. I'm also told the head of the Chinese security detail apologized to the Americans afterwards for the misunderstanding.
[Al Jazeera] Despite its reputation as a haven for refugees, Canada has been deporting North Korean asylum seekers who came to the country through South Korea.
Nearly 2,000 have been kicked out of the country since 2013 because the government says they lied on their asylum application forms. Another 150 Koreans are under imminent threat of deportation.
Eleven years ago, Taegun Kim came to Canada with his wife, daughter and son. Now they have two more children, both Canadian citizens. A deportation would be catastrophic for the family.
"That notice means death to me," Kim told Al Jazeera. "I came all the way here for a better life and my family is well adjusted to life in Canada. To think we're going to be separated, it breaks my heart."
The Jo family could be broken up too if Canada carries out its deportation orders. Two children are Canadian-born; the eldest came with his parents in 2010.
The family admits they lied on their asylum application - saying they defected to China, not South Korea - to help ease the immigration process, but add they did it to escape a horrible situation.
"I feel so desperate. It's our fault," Hye Kyung Jo said. "They [the children] haven't done anything wrong. They have to go through this separation because of us."

They lied on their application. So did the current Minister of Democratic Institutions. They should all leave. Now. Don't want liars coming into Canuckistan. We've enough of them already without adding to the numbers.

So they’re being sent back to South Korea? I thought South Korea had good support systems in place for those who fled the north. As for the threat to their relatives who remained behind, that has been so ever since the day they left. I can’t imagine the North Korean authorities never noticed they aren’t there anymore.

The media publishes a bunch of BS about how the Chinese are terrified of refugee flows if the Kim regime falls. In reality, each and every North Korean, including Kim Jong-un, is automatically welcome to settle in South Korea. And yet the media keeps parroting the Chinese party line.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Pak cricketer-turned-politican Imran Khan ... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... has tied the knot for the third time, his party said on Sunday, confirming his marriage to a woman local media call a "faith healer".
Khan, who captained the Pakistain team when it won the Cricket World Cup in 1992, wed Bushra Watto in a low-key ceremony in the eastern city of Lahore.
Khan has previously referred to Watto, a mother of five, as his ’spiritual adviser’ and someone whose guidance he valued.
Khan’s previous two marriages, particularly when he wed his first wife, British socialite Jemima Khan ...first gained notice in the United Kingdom as a young heiress, the daughter of Lady Annabel and Sir James Goldsmith. She was married to the retired Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan between 1995 and their divorce in 2004. For the next three years, from 2004 to 2007, Khan gained worldwide media attention by sharing the baloney with British film star Hugh Grant. She has nothing to do with pancakes... , captivated international tabloids as well as local media in the deeply conservative Moslem nation of 208 million people.

[Breitbart] Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly engaged in a series of coordinated cyber warfare tactics to spy on, police, and arrest the Iranian people to secure its theocracy.
On Thursday, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) released a report titled, "Iran: Cyber Repression; How the IRGC Uses Cyberwarfare to Preserve the Theocracy." The report details how the IRGC’s Ministry of Intelligence allegedly creates apps that are downloaded by or unwittingly installed onto Iranians phones and then used as tools to spy on them.
Cyber repression also occurred during the 2018 uprising, which began on December 28 and continues to this day.
"Some 142 cities were engulfed in the demonstrations that took place against Khamenei, Rouhani, and the reformers," Alireza Jafarzadeh, NCRI’s deputy director said.

[NBCConnection] After reportedly agreeing to be an NBC correspondent for the remainder of the Winter Games in Pyeongchang, Adam Rippon has decided he will not join the network as a sports analyst.
"I’m so flattered that NBC wanted me to work as a correspondent, but if I took this opportunity, I would have to leave the Olympic team, I’d have to leave the village," the figure skater told NBCSN in an interview Monday (Sunday night in the U.S.) "It’s so important to me, you know, I worked so hard to be on this Olympic team, and my teammates and my friends were there for me during my events, and that means so much to me, that I really feel like I need to be there for them during their events."
Earlier in the day, NBC spokesman Greg Hughes confirmed that Rippon accepted an offer to contribute to NBC's Olympic coverage across multiple platforms, including television and social media.
But according to USA Today’s Christine Brennan, Rippon changed his mind after learning he would have to relinquish his official status as an Olympic athlete, rescind his Olympic credential and move out of the Team USA facilities if he took the gig with NBC. He also would not have been able to march in the closing ceremony. In other words, it's all about him. Butt we knew that already...
