If Trump were to personally shoot someone on Fifth Avenue: Not immune. (Probably. Maybe.) If he were to order the army to massacre thousands on Fifth Avenue: Immune. (Very clearly, under the decision.) But from a constitutional perspective, the latter is the grave danger to guard against.

Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.

The protestors should have put up a sign reading “ELEMENTARY SCHOOL—LONE GUNMAN INSIDE” which I hear is very effective in Texas at keeping cops off the property for hours.

A new NYC investigation outlines the many, many ways police are ignoring and exacerbating the parking-placard abuse epidemic. When DOI investigators called in abuses to 311 as a test, the NYPD enforced the law exactly zero percent of the time:

The latest FBI data confirm that crime in the U.S. decreased significantly in 2023. The number of murders dropped 13 percent from the previous year. Pretty much every category of crime decreased in pretty much every part of the country (the exception being car thefts).
