But UVa acted too slowly. It was still futzing with Jones when he massacred fellow students, and settlements with families of the killed and injured were announced today.
[Jason] Keys and his wife, Charae Williams Keys, were getting into their car after a Father’s Day visit in 2021 with her grandparents in a leafy neighborhood near Walnut Hill Park in Columbus, Ohio. A 72-year-old neighbor carrying a rifle accosted them in the belief, he later told the police, that Mr. Keys had let the air out of his daughter’s tires and poisoned his lawn.
Mr. Keys, who was carrying a pistol in his waistband, and his father-in-law tried to disarm the man, knocking him to the ground, while another relative ran back inside to get a .22 rifle. While Ms. Keys ducked behind the car to call 911, she heard multiple gunshots. She emerged to find her husband mortally wounded.
It took a moment for everyone to realize that the shots had come from a fourth gun across the street. Elias Smith, a 24-year-old ex-Marine, had stepped to his front door with a so-called ghost gun, an AR-style rifle that Mr. Smith had assembled from parts ordered online. Within seconds, he opened fire, hitting Mr. Keys five times.
“What are you shooting for?” a relative of Mr. Keys can be heard asking on surveillance video that captured parts of the incident.
Mr. Smith answered, “I don’t know.”
Where oh where can he be? An American with a gun… Hm… hmmm….
Mindless evangelical fervor and a world of guns: This witches’ brew placed Bob Baker’s daughter and son-in-law in Haiti, where both were just slaughtered.
How does any father allow his 21 year old daughter to do that? To go to one of the most dangerous, gun-ridden countries in the world? Did he at least try to dissuade the idiot, or did he love the image of her as a Christian martyr in a world of weapons and anarchy?
The whole je ne sais quoi of Idaho finds espression in Michael Neil, proud son of the Gem State. After a passerby witnessed Neil accidently shoot himself inside his car, she called 911. Neil, carrying multiple felonies for, among other things, beating up nurses during a recent hospital stay, lied to police… Something about a man “in a red hat” who shot at him…
Legally unable to possess guns, Neil was found to be carrying in his car (who knows what weaponry he keeps at home):
Ruger 9mm handgun
Sig Sauer 10mm
(‘The Ruger had been reported stolen in Idaho Falls in 2021, while the Sig Sauer was reported stolen in Rexburg earlier in 2023, according to the affidavit.’)
“Ghost gun” replica of a Glock, no serial number
Precision X15 AR-15 style rifle
Remington 12-gauge shotgun

The real magic of Idaho is in the mugshot, where the freest state in the union shows you what it looks like when the police let you dress any way you want for the camera!
Yes, yes, there should be gaping holes in the fabric. But this isn’t Hollywood, man. It’s real.
Real Idaho.
So Turks and Caicos has laws. Its very own laws! And one of their laws punishes rather severely the possession of ammunition and guns.
Now yall know we caint go nowheres lessen we got firearms and all BUT ALMOST ALL OF THE AMERICANS ARRESTED BY TURKS AND CAICOS AUTHORITIES FOR BRINGING IN AMMO SWEAR UP AND DOWN IT WAS ALL DONE TOTALLY ACCIDENTLY. AN INNOCENT MISTAKE. WE’VE ALL AT SOME POINT IN OUR LIVES BEEN SHOCKED TO DISCOVER GUNS AND AMMO IN OUR LUGGAGE.
Yeah, a whole bunch of Americans have been arrested/detained on the islands and a bunch of governors and lawyers and NRAers over here are pissing their pants about it. It’s a big ol story cuz where the fuck do dipshit territories get off telling us we can’t take our guns everywhere?
Half dozen shot and two dead last Saturday! Keeping that kill count up, Elleven45!
Atlanta couldn’t be more proud: “Shut it down? Shut it down?” said the mayor. “Keep ’em coming! We want them to open two more locations. A lot of people in this state depend on our local gun industry. Buy more guns, Georgia, and keep these enterprises firing away!”

The Finns. SOOOO pathetic. GO USA
In the land of the gun, it’s never too early to terrorize entire communities and then get blown to bits by a police battalion. Too cute!
She’s trying this and she’s trying that, but she’s forgetting the most salient fact of all: She couldn’t have taken the puppy to a shelter, because none exist in the entire state! Shooting the dog to death in a gravel pit was her only option.
Don Wilson he pulled out his cock.
At his rich flow of pee he did gawk.
‘Dear Lord, what a man!
Piss a bucket I can!
87’s amazing. But let’s go for a hundred! You’re not going to kill scads of our kids as long as the number of guns in private hands here is a mere four hundred million plus. Our under-eighteen cohort will only be shot to death when there’s at least one gun in easy reach everywhere in this country – school, home, church, car, playground, public transportation, airports, campus, boardwalk, amusement park, zoo, corporate office, library… Handguns need to be liberally sprinkled about for teenage suicides, gangbangers, and the criminally insane to get hold of instantly.
I’m not worried about the private home or the high school. Guns are already strewn about with abandon at many of these locations. I’m more worried about places like airports, where they actually search you for guns.
**************************
True, airports do a poor job of screening for weapons, but technology is improving all the time. The one thing we have going for us is significant increases in gun purchases. More guns, more deaths by guns, and this under eighteen group is arguably our most fertile killing field, because a lot of them are really young and they don’t even realize what’s happening when they find a gun and play with it by killing their sister. It’s simple to think of tons of scenarios like that among toddlers and the like, and all you need is negligent gun-strewing parents, which describes millions of Americans.
While [a snowboarder] was filming his run, [Keith Robert] Stebbings [of Brighton] is seen [in a video] standing in his path while holding a shotgun. As [the snowboarder] gets closer, the homeowner can be heard saying, “Private property, you (expletive).”
During the confrontation, Stebbings, 67, can be seen pushing [the snowboarder] numerous times, while also pointing the shotgun at the snowboarder and saying “if you do it again there will be holes in you.”
… [A] later investigation found that there was no private property signage at the residence.
See the lunatic with body armor and the AR-15, honey? I want you to smile real big at him while we walk by him out of the store. Now don’t walk too fast or look scared! Just be natural and walk normally and he’ll leave us alone. Okay?
