Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) claims Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) used a racial “dog whistle” when he referred to the Chiefs parade shooting suspects as “thugs.” The New York Post reported that Lucas made this assessment on KCUR’s Up to Date radio program. Parson had reacted to Wednesday’s shooting by saying, “We can’t let some thugs just take over and ruin what happened.” Lucas told KCUR, “I have respect for the governor. We get along well. I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness, and...

During an interview with Active Shooter Prevention Project founder Chris Grollnek that took place during CNN’s coverage of the shooting in Lewiston, Maine on Wednesday, host Laura Coates noted that one spot that the shooter targeted was a bowling alley with children in it and that the shooter was “not going to a gun range. This is not going to a place where perhaps he would believe he could encounter people who could respond.” And that he picked “soft targets.” Coates said, “And I’m looking — of course, in the photo that we’re seeing, he’s at a bowling alley. We’ve...

A report from John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), shows that from 2014 to 2022 armed citizens stopped active shooters eight times more often than the FBI claimed. In the report, excerpts of which Lott published on Real Clear Politics, he noted, “Out of 440 active shooter incidents from 2014 to 2022, an armed citizen stopped 157. We also found that the FBI had misidentified five cases, usually because the person who stopped the attack was incorrectly identified as a security guard.” He observed, “While the FBI claims that just 4.6% of active shootings...

Gun control Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tweeted Sunday that AR-15 rifles are not necessary for hunting or self-defense and suggested mass shooters would be those “most affected” by an “assault weapons” ban. He described the AR-15 as “the mass shooter’s best friend,” omitting any mention that the shooting at an Atlanta hospital earlier in the week was carried out with a handgun.

In less than five years, we’ve had four people who identify as transsexual committing a mass shooting. In November of 2018, Snochia Moseley, a man who identified as a woman, wounded three and killed three after opening fire at his place of employment in Aberdeen, Maryland. In May of 2019, a Colorado woman who identified as male shot up a school, killing one and wounding eight. In November of 2022, a Colorado man who shot up a gay nightclub, killing five and wounding 18, was identified as transsexual. On Monday, 28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a woman who identified as a...

LAS VEGAS — After a little over one week on the run, two Seattle deadly shooting suspects were caught in Las Vegas. Twenty-four year olds William Toliver and Marquise Latrelle Tolbert were booked into jail in Clark County, Nevada Saturday, according to Lt. Ken Nogle, Days Watch Commander with Las Vegas Metro Police. They were arrested near the 3700 block of West Flamingo Blvd in Las Vegas. The details as to what led up to their arrest has not been made clear yet. The two men are suspects in the shootout that left one woman dead and injured seven other...

The mass shooter in Dayton, Ohio who was killed by police early Sunday after he shot nine people to death and wounded more than a dozen fit the now-familiar profile of the troubled youth with a well-documented history of threats dating back to high school. The Dayton gunman had a "kill list" and had interacted with law enforcement as a minor, authorities said. Similarly, the man charged with killing 17 people and wounding 17 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., last year was also well known to high school counselors and local police before he turned...

Luke 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Why does every tragedy have to be an opportunity for the Democrat Party to trash President Trump and America? Rather than letting America go through her shock of having two mass murderers terrorize their communities we have to hear how it's Trump’s fault and these were his Nazi supporters. There is never any introspection or grieving for the lost, only an opportunity to virtue signal and attack. Within 24 hours the...

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) announced his candidacy a few weeks ago. He made an appearance on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" and one of the issues that came up was last week's tragic shooting in Virginia Beach. Naturally, Bennet argued for stricter gun control laws. What's shocking, however, is his blame game. Bennet infer Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is responsible for what took place because he fails to bring gun control bills before the Republican-dominated Senate. "I think the president can make a difference. The House of Representatives have passed background checks to close the internet loophole....

The 18-year-old accused in the fatal shooting at a Colorado charter school shared social media posts that were critical of President Trump and Christians, but heaped praise on former President Barack Obama. On what appears to be his Facebook page, Devon Erickson gave no indication of the carnage to come at STEM School Highlands Ranch. The shaggy-haired teen filled his page with posts about the Denver Broncos, playing paintball and appearing in community plays like “Les Miserables” and “Legally Blonde The Musical.”

He kept charging. A bullet to the torso did not stop Riley Howell. A second bullet to the body did not prevent him from reaching his goal and hurling himself at the gunman who opened fire last week inside a classroom at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The third bullet came as Mr. Howell was inches from the gunman, who fired at point-blank range into his head. Mr. Howell’s parents said their 21-year-old son, who is being heralded for his bravery, was shot at least three times. He tackled the gunman so forcefully that the suspect complained to...

On Saturday night (July 28), a bustling crowd gathered outside Jazz Daiquiri Lounge and Chicken & Watermelon on South Claiborne Avenue, as it does most weekends. People chatted, frozen drinks in hand, enjoying slightly cooler weather than in recent days when suddenly chaos broke out. A man bolted across Louisiana Avenue toward the businesses with two hooded subjects, one clutching a long gun and the other a pistol, trailing close behind. The duo haphazardly fired shots in the fleeing man's direction, striking patrons along the way, said Skipper Nichols, who owns Chicken & Watermelon, and reported what he saw after...

Mike Rowe Bemoans the ‘Epidemic of Fatherlessness’ Notes that majority of school shooters are fatherless SHARE TWEET EMAIL Mike Rowe / Screenshot BY: 12:57 pm Mike Rowe, best known as the host of the Discovery Channel series "Dirty Jobs," took to Facebook on Tuesday to bemoan the "epidemic of fatherlessness," which he said affects every level of society. While discussing an anti-bullying program for his web series, "Returning the Favor," Rowe considered the connection between the rates of fatherless children and the societal ills of bullying, poor educational achievement, homelessness, suicide, and violence. Citing statistics, Rowe argued in a Facebook...

A Pennsylvania school district is arming classrooms with buckets of rocks as a last-ditch defense against mass shooters. David Helsel, superintendent of the Blue Mountain School District in Schuylkill County, told ABC News on Friday that every elementary, middle and high school classroom in the district is stocked with a 5-gallon bucket full of river stones for students and teachers to pelt an armed intruder. “We’ve been trying to be proactive just in case,” Mr. Helsel said. “How can you aim a gun if you’re being pelted with rocks?”

Czech president Miloš Zeman has said Europeans should “have the courage to invest in our own guns” in order to guard against international terrorism, like millions of U.S. citizens have. The elder statesman — a veteran of the Prague Spring uprising against the old Communist regime as well as the Velvet Revolution which finally brought it down — made his comments in an address to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, an intergovernmental forum which predates the quasi-federal European Union by several years. “The level of international crime is growing because of Islamic terrorism,” he said, in response...

The video was filmed in the same exact ROOM and FLOOR that the shooter was in, except it was filmed a year prior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc-ArNr69d0
