    I'm sure it's fine.

    Gun Thefts Are Rising and Leading to More Crime, Including Sacramento Mass Shooting

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...have-been-saying-for-a-long-time-about-crime/

    More than 30 percent of the guns that ended up at crime scenes had been stolen, according to Fabio's research. But more than 40 percent of those stolen guns weren't reported by the owners as stolen until after police contacted them when the gun was used in a crime.

    One of the more concerning findings in the study was that for the majority of guns recovered (62 percent), "the place where the owner lost possession of the firearm was unknown."

    More guns are being stolen out of cars in alarming trend across the nation

    Guns are as fungible as drugs or cash. I wonder how many of the nitwits who left guns in their cars didn't lock 'em in their driveways. Somebody daft enough to have a firearm in their vehicle almost surely carries it on their person for those perilous trips to Walmart or Starbucks.

    I wonder which will be the first year without one of these threads. Will it be because of the decline of gun violence or of this forum?

    No threat to the public, murder suicide by a family annihilator type.

    Few crimes are more harshly forbidden in the Old Testament than sacrifice to the god Moloch (for which see Leviticus 18.21, 20.1-5). The sacrifice referred to was of living children consumed in the fires of offering to Moloch. Ever since then, worship of Moloch has been the sign of a deeply degraded culture. Ancient Romans justified the destruction of Carthage by noting that children were sacrificed to Moloch there. Milton represented Moloch as the first pagan god who joined Satan’s war on humankind:


    First Moloch, horrid king, besmear’d with blood
    Of human sacrifice, and parents’ tears,
    Though for the noise of Drums and Timbrels loud
    Their children’s cries unheard, that pass’d through fire
    To his grim idol. (Paradise Lost 1.392-96)

    Are we sure Moloch isn’t climate activism?

    Jesus. A 6-year-old. Where’s the good first-grader with a gun?
