Violent Crime Soars Under Biden-Harris
John Lott reports: The just-released data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) shows violent crime has soared under Biden-Harris. If you look at rape, robbery, and aggravated assaults (the NCVS doesn’t measure murder),...Ohio Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown Accepted Donations from Dead Woman
This would appear to be illegal: Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) accepted campaign donations from a woman who died several months prior, records that the New York Post obtained revealed Friday. Carol Ann Baker of Elmore died at the age of 77 on December 10, 2023, at a...California Dad Fights Off Mountain Lion That Dragged 5-Year-Old Son by the Head
This is a brave dad who should be commended for quick action to save his son: The victim was treated for his injuries then released, but had to return to the hospital after experiencing complications with wounds to his eyes. His current condition is not clear, the...11-Year-Old Boy Confesses to Murder of Former Louisiana Mayor, Adult Daughter
This shocking story is a reminder that not all threats appear as Darth Vader: Police in Minden, Louisiana, revealed on Monday that an 11-year-old boy confessed to the murder of former Mayor Joe Cornelius Sr., age 82, and his 31-year-old daughter, Keisha Miles....Pet Trust can Protect Your Pets from Inflation, Haitian, Asian Threats
To you, your pet may be “Fluffy”. To someone else, your pet may be dinner. How big is the threat posed by Asian or Haitian cuisine? Probably not huge, depending where you live. But inflation is a huge threat, affecting everyone to some degree, including...Democrats use 1865 Black Code to Disarm all Californians in 2024 (May v Bonta)
The CRPA on September 19, 2024, petitioned for en banc review of the Ninth Circuit panel’s decision regarding preliminary injunctive relief in May v Bonta (written by Judge Graber aka Grabber) oppressively curtailing the right to bear arms in California. En banc...The Fatted Calf Trust
I’ve written several times lately on disinheritance and more benign alternatives to disinheritance. There is definitely a trend afoot toward greater disinheritance. I’ve noticed this trend in comments from colleagues on our estate planning attorney online...No CRPA, AB 262 is Alive, Engrossed and Enrolled!
[UPDATE: Gov. Noisome signed AB 262 into law on 9/22/24.] AB 262 is an innocuous sounding bill providing for the study of safety regulations relating to children’s camps. Yet given California’s recent history of attacking gun culture, we can expect this...Massachusetts Supreme Court: Switchblade Carry Ban Violates 2A
The Massachusetts Supreme Court in Commonwealth v Canjura has struck down a ban on switchblade carry as violating the Second Amendment. Following Bruen analysis, the Court could not find any historical analogues from the time of the Founding, or ratification of the...Ninth Circuit Blocks California’s “1-in-30” Gun Purchase Ban
The Ninth Circuit in Nguyen v Bonta has reversed its stay on a preliminary injunction against California’s “1-in-30” ban on purchasing more than one firearm in a thirty day period. After only one day of oral arguments, it was clear the State could...Is your Trust a Parachute or merely a Safety Net?
There is a wonderful recent story about a Minnesota family that has baptized 27 babies over three generations with a baptismal gown made from the World War II parachute that saved grandpa’s life! I’m always coming up with analogies for trusts and often use...Brother of Terri Schiavo Warns Against Weakened Catholic Teaching on Basic Care
The brother of Terri Schiavo, famous in the estate planning world for issues surrounding her diagnosis of Persistent Vegetative State (PVS), is warning of a possible weakening in Catholic teaching in favor of providing basic care for the incapacitated. The brother,...Armed Citizens Stop 35% of Mass Shootings (Over Half if Gun Free Zones Excluded)
After correcting massive errors found in FBI reports, Dr John Lott reports that at least 35% of mass shootings from 2014 through 2023 were stopped by private armed citizens. (I’m intentionally using the term “mass shooting” even though the studies,...More Knife Attacks in Gun Free Europe, Germany Pursues Knife Control
The stream of reporting continues on knife attacks in gun free Europe. I don’t know if that’s because the frequency of these attacks has increased, or if this is just due to increased media attention, but it’s always interesting to note the...Ahem… American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2024 (AHEMA)
The American Housing and Economic Mobility Act of 2024 (AHEMA) is a giant $5 trillion tax increase now before both houses of Congress which has the potential, if Democrats end up with enough control after elections this year, to radically change estate planning. These...Bear Attack in Northern California
I’ve posted several times before on the occasional mountain lion attack in California, but bear attacks are less common here. (A few years ago this young California lady was attacked while taking a nap in her backyard near Los Angeles; of course Canadians see...Which States Allow Armed Teachers?

Elon Musk blames the “woke mind virus” for robbing him of his son whom he considers basically dead at this point because of the transgender cult. Call it cultural marxism, woke, whatever, I have definitely seen a trend among colleagues on estate planning...Recent Examples of Hollywood Anti-Gun Scripts
John Lott has some examples here of recent Hollywood propaganda using anti-gun scripts. This is a longstanding problem I’ve posted on for many years, particularly on bad gun handling. Lott notes (with examples) such shortcomings as failing to portray successful...CDC Data Shows Increase in Homicides
John Lott reports here that the CDC is showing an increase in homicides despite the FBI reporting a sharp drop in murders. Lott has previously criticized FBI data in recent years. One major problem is the large drop in police department reporting to FBI. The only...Mass Stabbing Kills 3 Little Girls on Gun Free Island
UPDATE: To quell out-of-control rumors and riots resulting from the information vacuum, British judge has released information about the suspect in custody even though he is a minor, a few days short of his 18th birthday. Turns out the suspect is a migrant from...CBP Nabs 3 Palestinian Terror Suspects Crossing Border into California
Ominous report from San Diego: Border Patrol agents took three suspected Palestinian terrorists into custody earlier this month after they illegally crossed the border from Mexico into California, the New York Post reported.

The US Supreme Court today released its 8-1 decision in US v Rahimi, holding that: When an individual has been found by a court to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of another, that individual may be temporarily disarmed consistent with the Second...US Supreme Court Rejects Use of Corporate Redemption Obligation as Estate Deduction
In a major unanimous decision (Connelly v US) sure to cause revision of many business succession plans, the US Supreme Court earlier this month on June 6, 2024, rejected use of a corporate redemption obligation as an estate deduction. While the Court pointed out in a...FBI Memo Urged Police Not to Release Nashville Shooter Manifesto
An FBI memo sent shortly after the Covenant School shooting urged police not to release the Nashville shooter manifesto to the public. Reasons given: future mass attackers would learn and copy methods; such “legacy tokens” are often misleading and not...Trump Voters (59%) Far More Likely Than Biden Voters (19%) to Prioritize Marriage and Children, Poll Finds
A new Pew poll finds that Trump voters are FAR more likely (59%) than Biden voters (19%) to say that society should prioritize marriage and having children. That the rate is higher among Trump voters should not surprise anyone. I’ve definitely noticed a...Supreme Court Rules Bump Stocks are NOT Machine Guns
A few days ago (June 14, 2024) in Garland v Cargill, the US Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision ruled that bump stocks are not machine guns. Actually, the Court ruled they are not “machineguns” and the Court uses that single word throughout the opinion as that...How Does Concealed Carrying of Weapons Affect Violent Crime?
Although most research finds that concealed carry reduces violent crime, several recent studies claim to show that concealed carry increases violent crime. In a new study linked here, Professors Lott and Moody analyze three possible causes for the supposed increase,...Benitez Blasts Bonta’s Billy Ban as Unconstitutional
Federal Judge Roger Benitez in the case of Fouts v Bonta recently ruled California’s longtime ban on billy clubs (defined vaguely and potentially including many types of objects, for example any stick intended as a weapon) as an unconstitutional infringement of...As Your Kids Consider Sterilization, Incentives Can Make a Vas Deferens
Increasingly, young adults are choosing permanent sterilization. Your estate plan can punish them for doing so. (Or reward them, whatever.) Not talking about transgender surgery. Big sterilization issue there obviously, but that was the subject of another recent post....Crime Reports Plummet as Arrest Rates Plummet as Police Ignore Crime
Is violent crime really falling? Police have their hands full depriving you of your right to bear arms. Do you expect them to arrest real criminals that fight back? Not lately, and that is why there is a huge drop in the reporting of violent crime. No point in...Americans Own a Billion Magazines, Over 70% Hold More Than Ten Rounds
More evidence that so-called “standard capacity” is not at all standard, and that so-called “high capacity” is actually standard: NSSF’s Detachable Magazine Report (1990-2021) found an estimated total of 963,772,000 ammunition magazines in...Another Mass Stabbing in a Nation (Australia) with Severe Gun Restrictions
Mass stabbing at Sydney shopping mall. Australia severely restricts the natural right to bear arms, and the result is what you would expect: six killed, many more injured. Stopped by a female police officer’s gun, but not in time to prevent horrific death and...Suicide Risk Doubles with Transgender Surgery
California men who undergo transgender surgery (removing male genitals and replacing with something else) double their risk of suicide. How long will we continue to allow this demonic, macabre nonsense? Most children confused about what sex they are, grow out of that...There Has Never Been a School Shooting Where Armed Teachers Allowed
Despite all the leftist rhetoric against arming teachers, there has never been a school shooting at a school where armed teachers are allowed to carry a firearm for defense of themselves and students.

Burke of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama ruled via memorandum...Fed Judge Enjoins Unconstitutional CA Ammo Restrictions
[UPDATE: Ninth Circus issued a stay today of the injunction by Judge Benitez. Not totally unexpected, but this particular circus is fast losing credibility. The State has ZERO chance of winning on the merits under the text/history test mandated by Bruen. Furthermore,...Fed Judge Enjoins Unconstitutional CA Concealed Carry Place Restrictions
How does all of this make you feel about relying on politics and the courts to protect your family? How can the government be so fickle with your right to life? Maybe it’s time your family takes control, with a F.I.R.S.T. Family Trust? [GOOD NEWS 01/06/2024: On...No Death Penalty for NM Gov. Grisham, Thanks to Gun Orgs

Graham warns that if there is no presidential immunity, Biden could be prosecuted for murder of girls recently raped by illegals.] New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham says Republicans should thank her for all the fundraising they are able to do as...California Gun Trust Planning
Presentation by Attorney Dave Duringer clears up confusion over California Gun Trust Planning. What is a Gun Trust? Is a Gun Trust Effective? Is a Gun Trust Necessary? Is a Gun Trust Recommended?
