For some odd reason, Americans' support for gun bans is dropping fast

Cratering Support for Gun Control. “What President Biden didn’t tell the American public – and won’t – is what the rest of America is saying about any proposed ban. Over half the country doesn’t want it, according to a recent poll by ABC News/Washington Post. Respondents to the poll released just days before the State of the Union speech showed that 51 percent surveyed oppose any such ban. That’s a 10-point increase from 2019 when the same question was asked. Just 47 percent of those responding – a nine-point drop – voiced support for banning MSRs, the second lowest percentage reported since the question was put forth in the polls starting in 1995.”

And here’s what might be one of the reasons:

Washington man shot dead by armed father at dog park after trying to 'endanger' child's life: police

Charges have not been filed against the shooter who police say was legally carrying a gun

Police in Washington state say that an armed man with his child at a dog park shot and killed an attacker in an incident where police have not filed charges.

The Yakima, Washington Police Department said in a Facebook post that they had received 911 calls on Sunday from the Randall Park Dog Park with callers saying a man acting erratically had been confronting another man and his child at the park.

"The erratic subject attempted to endanger the life of the small child with his words and actions, at which point the child’s father protected his child from the threat," the post said.

Police explained that the father gave verbal commands to the individual to stop the harassment and attempted to leave the park.

When those attempts to deescalate the situation were not successful, police say the 28-year-old father shot and killed the aggressive individual with a legally owned firearm.

The shooting victim was later identified as 22-year-old Daniel Ortega. [Why he wasn’t safe at home in Nicaragua isn’t explained — Ed]

The Yakima-Herald Republic reported this week that Ortega had been attempting to take the child, about five or six years of age, and that police believe narcotics played a role in the incident.

"Multiple interviews of the involved parties and witnesses corroborated what was believed to have occurred," police said. "After consultation with the Yakima County Prosecutor, the man who discharged the firearm in this incident was released after cooperating with detectives."

The picture above shows where Danny Ortega met his deserved doom. It’s not a dark, dank drug den, it’s a freakin’ public park in suburbia, for crissake. If citizens can’t feel safe in places like this, if the police can’t or won’t keep these places safe, then footpads and perverts will discover that they need the police to protect them from the wrath of their intended prey, rather than the other way around.

Annie get your gun.
