Southern California –-(Ammoland.com)  It used to be called suicide by cop.  That is when some insane guy points a toy gun at a police officer fully expecting that the officer will kill him.   It is a tragic situation at best.  It is made worse when the next of kin complains about unnecessary violence.

Sadly, the next of kin also complains when an ordinary citizen faces a violent criminal and the citizen uses lethal force in self-defense.  We should call it suicide by citizen.  I’ll go a step further.   Continue reading “Criminals Commit Suicide by Citizen”

One of the worst droughts in California’s history has devastated more than a half-million acres of the most fertile farmland in America. In communities like Sacramento, “water police” go from door to door to enforce conservation measures. There’s even a mobile “app” to report neighbors to city authorities so they can be fined for wasting water.

With the Sierra snowpack at 4% of normal as of May 20, Californians will desperately need what little water remains behind its dams this summer. Authorities have warned some towns like Folsom—home of Folsom Lake—to expect daily rationing of 50 gallons per person, a 60% cut from average household usage.    Continue reading “California Drains Reservoirs in the Middle of a Drought”
