And just how much "gun violence" has Katie prevented to merit the designation of "expert," and/or what other qualifications does she have?

Besides "a degree in Education and German"...?

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word "Voluntary" Is

For instance, what would happen if you refused to "volunteer" to stop at their roadblock? [More]

The shape of things to come. You have to wonder what kind of person would willingly go along with this.

I laughed out loud when the one tried to drag her by the foot, pulled her shoe off and fell on his @$$.

I can't help but wonder how these guys would fare against someone who knows how to fight...

We're the Only Ones Back in the Saddle Again Enough

“I want everyone to keep in mind, this is a police officer who got injured on St. Patrick’s Day falling off his horse,” said Phil DiLucente, the defense attorney. “When he fell off of that horse, he has been on light duty and he’s on a lot of medication.” [More]
When I say "Whoa," I mean WHOA!

As someone who's had horses try to throw me, bite me, kick me, stumble under me and fight my decisions, disagreements I've always been able to lucidly resolve without resorting to either rage or cruelty, I'm wondering about the just "fell off" part.  I've also seen horses object to excessive weight ... just saying ...

Meanwhile, Over at the Department of Pre-Crime

"A national standard from which to identify individuals who have left these footprints and are on the path to becoming violent would be invaluable to law enforcement, especially at the local level" [More]
That way, we could pre-arrest, pre-try, pre-convict and pre-sentence them! Assuming the orders aren't to just send in the drones.

Toy gun ‘buyback’ violates school policy, sends conflicting message to students

Stated first in the “School Values” section, handbook readers are reminded “No weapons, real, toy or pretend.” There is no caveat specifying "unless the same people who will punish you for violations offer you a chance to win a bike." [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes rules are meant to be broken -- if you happen to be the rule-maker and it suits your agenda.
