Killers thrive in "gun free zones"

Michelle Malkin:

Too many who oppose conceal carry failed to see the counterintuitive logic of the legislation, but it is real. Where conceal carry is allowed all crime is reduced. I am not aware of any cases where someone with a conceal carry permit has used the gun for criminal purposes. It is possible they have, but logic suggest that if so we would have heard about from the opponents of these laws.

There have been many stories where people with concealed carry permits and weapons have stopped criminal activity. It is very possible that the Virginia Tech murder would have had fewer victims if someone else besides him had a gun.

Glenn Reynolds has more on the concealed carry issue including this:

...

"Gun-free zones" are premised on a fantasy: That murderers will follow rules, and that people like my student, or Bradford Wiles, are a greater danger to those around them than crazed killers like Cho Seung-hui. That's an insult. Sometimes, it's a deadly one.
It is the same fantasy that drives the the left in their position on Iraq. If we stand down the enemy will too. It is not going to happen, but they keep wishing it to be.

Neal Boortz has more thoughts on the value of concealed carry laws.

David Kopel says gun free zones only make the killers safer.

    Good post.
    I absolutely agree with MM... "Instead of teaching students to defend their beliefs, American educators shield them from vigorous debate." Another downfall of modern day American education.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
