2A: The Brown University shooting has brought out the usual leftist calls to ban guns. But if they couldn’t keep people on a gun-free, college campus safe, then what makes them think that disarming an entire nation would be a good idea?
AT THE FAINTING COUCH: Dave Carter’s essay on “The Deadly Side of Luxury Beliefs” doesn’t contain anything we all here in the garden haven’t said a million times. But dang, he says it with so much finesse, panache, and humor that it is totally worth your time. A taste to whet your appetite: “For the final performance in their flaming porta-potty rodeo, our self-appointed superiors displayed a staggering level of ineptitude in foreign policy and national defense that made Neville Chamberlain look like he rode shotgun with Genghis Khan on weekends.”

LAWFARE: The Little Sisters of the Poor are a Catholic religious order dedicated to serving the elderly poor. Democrats have been using Obamacare for fourteen years to persecute them for refusing to include contraception in their health insurance plan.
After they won in the Supreme Court, the states of New York and Pennsylvania decided to force the issue, so they’re back in court. Mark Rienzi, president of Becket and their lead attorney calls the left’s “14-year legal crusade against the Little Sisters … needless, grotesque, and un-American.”
