In the Town That Thinks It’s More Sophisticated Than The Rest Of America, Washington D.C., the natives are reverting to something a trifle more primitive than the rest of America: they’re throwing rocks. At buses. With people on the buses. The way that Washington police are dealing with the violence against Metrobuses in Southeast Washington? They have put out fliers warning people not to throw rocks because it’s a crime. - William Bigelow

The attack was first reported at 18:13 (16:13 GMT) on Wednesday. Police confronted the man six minutes later, but he shot several arrows at them and escaped. He was eventually caught about 30 minutes later.

Cars and other vehicles “have turned into deadly weapons”, and should be banished from cities to stop attacks like the one in Stockholm from happening in future, according to Aftonbladet editorialist Eva Franchell...
Instead, it is cars — which she calls “effective murder machines” — that Franchell says “must simply be removed from city centres and places where people gather, if people are to be protected in future”. Vehicles are “easy to steal, and so nothing has been able to stop their advance”, writes Ms. Franchell.

It is true that gun homicides have declined in Australia since 1995–as they have, for that matter, in the U.S. But that isn’t really the question, is it? Presumably the point of gun control is not to force killers to use knives and baseball bats; rather, it is to reduce the overall homicide rate. Judged by that standard, Australia hasn’t been especially successful... In fact, the homicide rate in the U.S. has declined more steeply...

But in an unsigned opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court Monday vacated that ruling. It said the Massachusetts court improperly found that Second Amendment protection applies only to weapons that were in common use at the time of the nation's founding.
Referring to its landmark 2008 ruling on handguns in the home, the justices said the Second Amendment applies "to all instruments that constitute bearable arms," even those not in existence at the time of the founding.
