“anyone who has lived in Travis County for six months” and “is not currently under indictment”.

Heh. Heh. Heh. Personally, I would have waited until she was actually convicted, but that’s just my strategic thinking.

(Hattip: Lawrence.)

The “not yet named as a suspect” in the Kaufman County DA shootings had “more than 20 guns” in a storage unit. Or, as we call that in Texas, “just about average”.

And the firearms included two or three handguns and seven assault rifles.

I’d like to see these “assault rifles”; I don’t trust the NYT to know which end the bullets come out of.

Edited to add: Well. Well, well, well. Well. How about that Aryan Brotherhood?

Speaking of trusting the NYT on guns:

With no requirements for background checks on most private transactions, a Times examination found, Armslist and similar sites function as unregulated bazaars, where the essential anonymity of the Internet allows unlicensed sellers to advertise scores of weapons and people legally barred from gun ownership to buy them.

More:

The Times assembled a database and analyzed several months of ads from Armslist

Whooop! Whoop! Journalist with a database alert!

I have to head out the door shortly, but may come back to this NYT article later on.
