The Attorney General of the United States, Pam Bondi Put California on Notice: The Second Amendment is The law of The Land!

In a bold move that’s sending shockwaves through gun-restrictive states like California, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has formally notified the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department: stop violating citizens’ Second Amendment rights.

This communication signals a major shift in federal enforcement priorities. For too long, blue states have enacted and enforced laws that trample on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. But Bondi isn’t just making noise—she has serious tools at her disposal. Chief among them is the power to initiate federal criminal charges against local and state officials who arrest or prosecute Americans for lawfully carrying firearms for self-defense. These kinds of actions can be prosecuted as civil rights violations under federal law.  

18 U.S. Code § 242  provides that, Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death."

Previous attorneys general have looked the other way, hiding behind “prosecutorial discretion” and choosing not to intervene. But those days are over. The tide is turning.

And this isn’t just a political opinion—it’s the law of the land. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed the individual right to bear arms, and has made clear that this right is not limited to federal jurisdictions.

In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court held that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm for lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

In McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010), the Court extended that protection to state and local governments, confirming that the Second Amendment is fully applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.

Most recently, in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. ___ (2022), the Court struck down New York’s restrictive “may-issue” concealed carry law, making it clear that the right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense is also protected.

These landmark rulings leave little room for interpretation. Yet some states continue to enforce unconstitutional laws in direct defiance of Supreme Court precedent.

Attorney General Bondi’s action is a wake-up call: violating the Second Amendment is no longer a risk-free endeavor for local officials. Those who continue to arrest or prosecute law-abiding gun owners may soon find themselves facing federal civil rights charges.

The message is clear—America’s constitutional rights are not optional, and they are not confined to one region. The Second Amendment applies nationwide, and those who ignore it may soon face federal felony charges.

Here is the press release:

U.S. Department of Justice Announces Second Amendment Pattern-or-Practice Investigation into California’s Los Angeles County

Thursday, March 27, 2025

For Immediate Release

Office of Public Affairs

Protecting the Second Amendment rights of ordinary, law-abiding Americans is a high priority for this Administration.

As part of a broader review of restrictive firearms-related laws in California and other States, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division today announced an investigation into the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to determine whether it is engaging in a pattern or practice of depriving ordinary, law-abiding Californians of their Second Amendment rights. A recent federal court decision found that “the law and facts [we]re clearly in … favor” of two private plaintiffs who challenged the lengthy eighteen-month delays that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department had imposed when processing their concealed handgun license applications. And the Civil Rights Division has reason to believe that those two plaintiffs are not the only residents of Los Angeles County experiencing similarly long delays that are unduly burdening, or effectively denying, the Second Amendment rights of the people of Los Angeles.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized that the Second Amendment is not “a second-class right.” And over the past two decades, the Supreme Court has recognized that the Second Amendment is a fundamental, individual constitutional right and has taken multiple opportunities to strengthen Second Amendment protections for ordinary, law-abiding citizens.

Some States and localities, however, have resisted this recent pro-Second Amendment caselaw. And California has been a particularly egregious offender. In response to recent Supreme Court caselaw, California enacted new legislation to further restrict the ability of ordinary, law-abiding Californians to keep and bear arms. And many California localities appear to be imposing additional burdens beyond those required by California state law, including by subjecting ordinary, law-abiding Californians to expensive fees and lengthy wait times associated with applications for concealed handgun licenses.

“This Department of Justice will not stand idly by while States and localities infringe on the Second Amendment rights of ordinary, law-abiding Americans,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “The Second Amendment is not a second-class right, and under my watch, the Department will actively enforce the Second Amendment just like it actively enforces other fundamental constitutional rights.”

Attorney General Bondi hopes that states and localities will voluntarily embrace their duty to protect the Second Amendment rights of their citizens. But if necessary, today’s announcement will be the first of many similar investigations, lawsuits, or other actions involving other localities in California, the State of California itself, and any other states or localities that insist on unduly burdening, or effectively denying, the Second Amendment rights of their ordinary, law-abiding citizens.

The American Incarceration System Is a Total Disaster — And No One Wants to Talk About It

 

Let’s stop pretending. The American system of incarceration is not just broken — it’s a catastrophic failure that destroys lives, breeds violence, and offers no path to redemption or justice. It’s time we admit the ugly truth.

The Heart of the Problem: Violence and Forced Integration

We’ve packed our jails and prisons with people who are often natural enemies — violent individuals from vastly different, often clashing, cultural backgrounds. Instead of separating these groups for the sake of safety, we force them into overcrowded dormitories and locked units like animals in a cage match. The result? Constant fear, bloodshed, sexual assault and chaos.

Prisoners live every hour on edge, watching their backs, never knowing if they’ll survive the night. This isn’t justice — it’s torture. And in this environment, how can anyone focus on rehabilitation, education, or vocational training? They can’t. Fear rules everything.

Segregation in prisons is labeled evil, but integration in this setting is lethal. The idealism of equality has become a death sentence behind bars.

Total Communication Shutdown: A Modern Form of Isolation Torture

Prisoners are practically cut off from the outside world. Internet access and email — basic tools of modern society — are denied across the board, when they could instead be used as incentives for good behavior or tools for reentry preparation.

Phone calls are extortionate, controlled by shady corporations charging families outrageous fees for monitored conversations. Families go into debt just to maintain contact with their incarcerated loved ones. This isn’t security — it’s profiteering. And it’s cruel.

Guards or Babysitters? The Myth of Correctional Officers

Let’s not sugarcoat it. The guards are usually the lowest-paid, least-trained members of the entire criminal justice system. They’re often underqualified, poorly educated, and emotionally unfit for such high-stress environments.

In some jurisdictions, they aren’t even allowed to carry a firearm once they clock out — meaning violent inmates actually have more protection than the people assigned to guard them. Many of these officers end up as damaged as the inmates they supervise.

Call them guards — because there’s no “correction” going on. They’re prison babysitters at best, and that’s being generous.

Predator Politics: When the Inmates Run the Asylum

In many institutions, prison administrators knowingly allow violent inmates to dominate others — a throwback to the notorious “barn boss” system. These predators are unofficial enforcers, keeping other inmates in line through terror and brutality. Rather than isolating the dangerous few, prison systems often isolate their victims. It’s cowardly, corrupt, and systemic.

Wrongful Convictions: The Final Injustice

Now imagine enduring this hell while being completely innocent. You survive years — even decades — inside this nightmare. Then, finally, you’re released. But you don’t walk out whole — you walk out broken. Bitter. Vengeful. A system that was supposed to protect the innocent has now created a psychological time bomb.

Brutality Doesn’t Deter Criminals — It Creates Them

Let’s end the lie that brutal prisons scare people straight. Truly dangerous individuals aren’t frightened by violence — they thrive in it. And those who are law-abiding never needed prison threats to begin with. What we’ve built is a factory for trauma and rage, not rehabilitation.

This Must End

If you believe in justice — real justice — then speak up. Share this. Demand change. Because right now, our prison system isn’t just failing the inmates. It’s failing all of us.

The Glorious Bankruptcy of Los Angeles: A Masterclass in Madness

Ah, Los Angeles — the glittering jewel of fiscal disaster! Just when you think this circus couldn’t get any more absurd, the city announces it’s staring down the barrel of a billion-dollar budget shortfall. Yes, one billion dollars — with a “B,” like in “boondoggle.” And what’s their bold, strategic response? Massive layoffs for hardworking city employees. Naturally.

But wait — it gets better.

In the middle of this financial meltdown, what noble cause has the brain trust running L.A. decided to champion with your tax dollars? Buckle up: they’re proudly funding free legal services for illegal aliens to help them fight deportation. That’s right — while the city burns, the geniuses at City Hall are handing out legal lifelines like party favors to people who aren’t even supposed to be here.

It’s almost poetic, the level of idiocy on display. You’d think it was satire if it weren’t so painfully real. The leadership of Los Angeles isn’t just incompetent — they’ve turned recklessness into an art form. Bravo, City Hall. Bravo.

Is Law School Still Worth It in the Age of Artificial Intelligence?

For centuries, the legal profession has been built on deep knowledge, critical thinking, and the ability to outmaneuver opponents. But with the rise of artificial intelligence, a fundamental question arises: Is law school still a smart investment, or is AI reshaping the legal landscape to the point where traditional lawyers will become obsolete?

The Changing Face of Legal Research

One of the most time-consuming aspects of being a lawyer has always been legal research. It’s not enough to simply read statutes—an attorney must determine how appellate courts have interpreted those laws through precedent-setting cases. This process, known as Shepardizing, ensures that a case is still considered valid law by cross-referencing it with later rulings. In the past, this required trips to law libraries and hours of sifting through legal texts, case law, and citations.

Today, AI-powered legal research tools can Shepardize cases instantly, providing up-to-date legal precedent and flagging any rulings that have been overturned or modified. AI can generate briefs, motions, and pleadings in perfect legal format, including necessary citations and footnotes. What once took junior associates and law clerks hours—if not days—can now be done in seconds.

The Decline of Expensive Lawyers

Litigation, whether civil or criminal, always begins on paper. But most cases never reach trial; they are settled through negotiation, where lawyers posture, bluff, and argue their legal positions. While this used to require years of courtroom experience and legal training, AI can now provide predictive legal analysis, helping individuals assess the strengths and weaknesses of their case with remarkable accuracy. A well-prepared non-lawyer, armed with AI-generated legal insights, could negotiate just as effectively as a seasoned attorney.

The financial implications of this shift are enormous. Expensive lawyers will become less necessary as AI enables individuals to represent themselves with confidence. Sure, we still have a major literacy crisis in America—70% of the population is functionally illiterate—but those who can navigate AI-assisted legal tools will no longer need to shell out tens of thousands for legal representation. Public defenders and low-cost legal services may continue to serve those who lack the skills to utilize AI, but the demand for high-priced lawyers will shrink dramatically.

The Grim Reality for Future Lawyers

The traditional path to becoming a lawyer—law school, bar exams, years of grinding away in firms—is becoming harder to justify. The golden era of the legal profession, where knowledge was power and lawyers were indispensable, is coming to an end. AI can now equip individuals with the same legal insights once reserved for those with years of training.

So before you take on crippling student debt and dedicate years to law school, ask yourself: Is the profession you’re entering on the verge of obsolescence? AI isn’t just assisting lawyers—it’s replacing many of their core functions. And in a world where technology can do the work of a high-priced attorney, the question isn’t just whether law school is worth it—it’s whether lawyers themselves will survive the coming legal revolution.

The Democrat party has doomed itself!

The Democrat Party is nothing more than the Lost Dutchman’s Ghost Ship—a cursed, aimless wreck drifting endlessly with no direction, no leadership, and no purpose other than to haunt the country with its failures. It’s a party lost at sea, weighed down by corruption, hypocrisy, and policies that have left everyday Americans struggling while their elitist leaders sit comfortably behind walls and private security.

There is no viable leadership, just a collection of feeble bureaucrats, race-baiting grifters, and clueless radicals steering the country straight into disaster. They have no real platform—only empty slogans, reckless spending, and a relentless push for more government control. Their economic policies cripple businesses, their soft-on-crime stance fuels chaos, and their obsession with open borders is flooding the nation with drugs and lawlessness.

They don’t stand for the people, democracy, or even basic common sense. They exist only to hold power, silence dissent, commit bribery, extortion, embezzlement, money laundering and cling to their sinking ship while pretending everything is fine. Like a ghost ship floating in the ocean, the Democrat Party is doomed—adrift with no captain, no destination, and no future except the wreckage they leave in their wake.

The Onion Field Tragedy: 63 Years Later

Sixty-three years ago today, on a dark night in Hollywood, two young LAPD officers—Ian Campbell and Karl Hettinger—were on routine patrol when fate took a cruel turn. Gregory Powell and Jimmy Lee Smith, career criminals with nothing to lose, took them hostage at gunpoint.

They drove their captives north, far from the city lights, deep into the isolation of a barren onion field near Bakersfield. Then, without mercy, Powell executed Officer Campbell in cold blood. Hettinger, in a desperate bid for survival, fled into the darkness. He lived—but in many ways, his nightmare had only begun.

Haunted by survivor’s guilt, Hettinger never truly recovered. Instead of being supported by his department, he was shamed—LAPD brass saw his escape as an act of cowardice, eroding his spirit even further. The trauma followed him for the rest of his days, a grim testament to the weight of duty and the scars it can leave behind.

Justice, too, took a winding road. Powell and Smith were sentenced to death, but the Supreme Court’s 1972 Furman v. Georgia ruling spared them, commuting their sentences to life in prison. In a bitter twist, Jimmy Lee Smith was eventually paroled, a decision that defied both logic and morality. But fate dealt Powell a different hand—he died behind bars, never again tasting freedom.

I was fortunate to meet James Woods, who gave a chilling portrayal of Gregory Powell in the 1979 film The Onion Field, and John Savage, who brought Karl Hettinger’s torment to life. I also had the honor of meeting the film’s writer, the legendary Joseph Wambaugh, at UCLA. His book and film captured the harrowing reality of that night—haunting, unforgettable, and a stark reminder of the thin line between order and chaos.

Today, we remember Ian Campbell, a young officer whose life was stolen far too soon. We remember Karl Hettinger, a man who survived but never truly lived again. And we remember the cruel reality that justice is not always swift, nor fair—but it is relentless.

Sig Sauer’s P320 Under Fire: Chicago Police Reconsider Approval Amid Safety Concerns

Sig Sauer has long been known for producing high-quality firearms, and its P320 model is no exception—at least in terms of popularity. In January 2017, the P320 won the U.S. military contract to replace the aging Beretta M9, beating out Glock, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, and FN. The military adopted two versions: the full-size M17 and the compact M18. By 2020, nearly a million P320s had been manufactured, and in the years since, production has only increased into the millions.

However, controversy has dogged the P320 platform. Allegations surfaced that the pistol was not drop-safe, meaning it could discharge unintentionally if dropped. Reports of unintended discharges—some resulting in serious injuries and deaths—have led to multiple lawsuits. While it is common for gun owners and attorneys to claim a firearm malfunctioned in shooting incidents (consider Alec Baldwin’s widely disputed defense in the “Rust” shooting), the claims against the P320 have been more persistent and legally damaging to Sig Sauer.

One of the key reasons for the P320’s popularity is its modular design, allowing users to swap grip modules, barrels, and slides to customize the gun. Like many modern handguns, it is striker-fired with a polymer frame, making it lightweight and adaptable.

Sig/Sauer recalled the P320s calling them an upgrade, avoiding that incriminating word, RECALL. Many P320s have gone through this process, including some owned by Chicago cops.

The Chicago Police investigating P320 unintentional discharges, involving department members.

Concerns over the P320 resurfaced after several as a result of a dropped P320.  This apparently was the catalyst for the department to call officers on a Sunday warning them about the potential hazards.  The officers were also told that representatives from Sig/Sauer would be contacting them about the “upgrade“.

These incidents have prompted the Chicago Police Department (CPD) to reconsider its approval of the P320 as an authorized duty weapon. Unlike some departments that issue standard firearms to officers, CPD requires officers to purchase their own duty weapons using their uniform allowance. If the P320 is banned, officers using it would have to replace it at their own expense. No final decision has been made yet, but CPD leadership appears to be leaning toward a ban out of an abundance of caution.  If such a ban occurs, this could lead to a domino effect for many other departments that look to Chicago Police for guidance. This is something that Sig/Sauer cannot ignore 

Sig Sauer’s Response and the Legal Battles

Sig Sauer has aggressively defended the safety of the P320, insisting that the gun is safe when used as intended. The company is facing multiple wrongful death and injury lawsuits, several of which have resulted in multimillion-dollar verdicts. Additional cases are pending, and the issue is being fought in courts across the country.

The bigger question looming over Sig Sauer is whether the U.S. military will continue its contract for the M17/M18 pistols. If systemic flaws in the design are proven, the government could demand damages, a refund, or even a recall to correct potential safety issues.

For now, Sig Sauer is locked in a battle that will not be settled by words alone. The future of the P320 will likely be determined by comprehensive forensic testing, scientific analysis, and ongoing litigation.

I’ll continue to monitor the situation and report any new developments.

Gun Control’s Greatest Failure: How Anti-Gun Zealots Armed America

Gun control fanatics, leftist politicians, and anti-gun zealots have once again proven to be the best firearms salespeople in American history. For years, their relentless attacks on the Second Amendment fueled an arms race among law-abiding citizens. Every time a Democrat so much as whispered about new restrictions, gun stores were flooded with buyers, shelves were emptied, and manufacturers struggled to keep up.

Now, under President Donald Trump, gun sales have dramatically slowed—not because of any success in disarming the public, but because Americans no longer fear that their rights will be ripped away. The FBI’s background checks for firearm purchases dropped 10% in Trump’s first month in office. Why? Because the panic buying spurred by Clinton, Obama, and Biden’s anti-gun rhetoric has already placed over 100 million additional firearms into the hands of everyday Americans.

The anti-gun left’s greatest blunder came during the China Virus lockdowns when they attempted to shutter gun stores and halt sales. Instead of weakening the Second Amendment, they ignited a historic surge in gun ownership. Millions of first-time buyers—especially women—rushed to arm themselves. The very people who were supposed to bow down to the government’s gun control schemes instead became fierce defenders of their own rights.

The results? A massive political backlash that has set gun control efforts back by nearly a century. The Supreme Court and lower courts are systematically dismantling unconstitutional gun laws. With Trump back in the White House and a judiciary stacked with pro-Second Amendment judges, the gun control movement is being crushed under its own incompetence.

Gun control didn’t just fail—it spectacularly backfired. And thanks to the anti-gun crowd’s hysteria, America is now more heavily armed than ever before.

California wants You do outrun your attacker’s bullets!

California Assemblymember Rick Zbur must have taken a masterclass in legislative lunacy because his latest bill, AB 1333, is a masterpiece in stupidity. Zbur, a Democrat with an apparent soft spot for criminals, wants to narrow the standards for justifiable homicide—translation: make it harder for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.

The bill, introduced in February, is his answer to stand-your-ground laws, which allow people to use deadly force when facing a serious threat. But Zbur thinks that’s just too much freedom for the peasants. His bill would declare homicide not justifiable if:

• You’re outside your home and could have run away instead of defending yourself. (Because clearly, criminals will wait politely while you flee.)

• You were engaged in mutual combat or “provoked” the attacker. (Which means what, exactly? Making eye contact? Wearing the wrong political hat?)

Zbur insists this is about stopping “vigilantism.” Apparently, in his warped view, fighting back against an armed attacker makes you the problem, not the criminal trying to harm you.

This bill is so idiotic that even California’s usual cast of soft-on-crime politicians should be embarrassed. Instead of helping victims, Zbur wants to make sure they have only two choices: get assaulted or get arrested.

Let’s hope AB 1333 meets a swift and well-deserved death—preferably in the legislative graveyard, right next to whatever common sense Zbur once had before he decided criminals deserve more rights than their victims.

Smith & Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum: The Unrivaled King of Wheel Gun

The Smith & Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum is the best wheel gun ever made. In the pantheon of revolvers, it stands alone as a monarch ruling with power and precision. This handgun doesn’t just fire bullets; it roars with authority, delivering a thunderous statement every time the hammer falls.

Unmatched Power, Underrated in Law Enforcement

When it comes to wheel guns (revolvers), the Model 57 sits on the throne. Its .41 Magnum cartridge is a hard-hitting, man-stopping round with formidable ballistics. Yet for some inexplicable reason, this powerhouse never reached the widespread popularity of other revolvers in police service. Part of the problem was that many law enforcement officers of the era struggled with its might. It’s an unfortunate truth that as caliber size and recoil increased, qualification scores for average police shooters dropped.

The Model 57 demanded serious firearm proficiency—something not every department could ensure across all officers. But in the hands of a disciplined, well-trained shooter, the .41 Magnum round is nothing short of excellent. Yes, it kicks harder and cracks louder than the ubiquitous .38 Special or 9mm, but those willing to master it find its recoil manageable and its effect on target devastating.

The SFPD’s Brief Affair and a Controversial Retirement

Even with its challenges, some forward-thinking agencies recognized the Model 57’s potential. The San Francisco Police Department was one such pioneer, actually issuing the Model 57 to their officers for a time. Under the brim of an SFPD cap, this revolver must have given criminals pause—it symbolized officers armed with serious stopping power. However, this affair was short-lived. In the 1970s, as SFPD began hiring female officers, the department abruptly retired the Model 57.

This decision immediately raised eyebrows. Was it driven by an outdated, sexist assumption that women couldn’t handle a big, heavy magnum revolver? Did the top brass even bother to test whether their new female recruits could qualify with the .41 Magnum, or did they simply assume the worst? The retirement of the Model 57 seems, in hindsight, like an opportunity missed—both for equality and for maintaining a superior weapon in the field.

Stopping Power: No Second Place Winner

In a life-or-death confrontation, if you must draw a firearm, it should be one that ends the threat as quickly as possible. This is where the Model 57’s .41 Magnum shines brighter than lesser calibers. A 220-grain hollow-point slug from a .41 Magnum doesn’t just stop an attacker—it can drop them in their tracks. Ask yourself: how many shots from a common 9mm pistol would it take to equal the fight-stopping impact of one well-placed .41 Magnum round? The difference could be the margin between survival and tragedy.

Shooting legend Bill Jordan captured this mindset perfectly in the title of his 1965 book No Second Place Winner. In a gunfight, there is no consolation prize for second best—you either neutralize the threat, or you may not live to see another dawn. The .41 Magnum was created with exactly this ethos in mind, bridging the gap between the .357 and the more brute-force .44 Magnum. It offers a step up in power from the .357 Magnum without the excessive recoil of a .44, hitting a sweet spot of balance and ferocity.

• 9mm Parabellum—Light recoil and high capacity, but often requires multiple hits to stop a determined assailant.

• .41 Magnum—Heavier recoil and louder report, but delivers a singular, fight-stopping force with one shot.

Forged by Legends and Larger Than Life

The .41 Magnum cartridge wasn’t devised in a vacuum—it was the brainchild of legendary lawmen and shooters who knew exactly what was needed on the front lines. In 1964, Elmer Keith and Bill Jordan (with help from Smith & Wesson and Remington) developed the .41 Magnum to give law enforcement a definitive edge. They weren’t interested in half-measures; these men lived by experience and understood what a real “man-stopper” required. Bill Jordan, a famed U.S. Border Patrolman and exhibition shooter, was particularly instrumental. He was a towering figure (both literally and figuratively) with decades of gunfighting insight, and he poured that knowledge into the Model 57’s design and cartridge.

I had the honor of meeting Bill Jordan myself—once sharing lunch with him and my friend Raj Singh at an NRA show—and I can attest that he was truly larger than life. When such a legend endorses a firearm platform, it carries weight. Jordan and Keith knew what they were doing; the very existence of the Model 57 is proof of that expertise and foresight.

Conclusion: The Ultimate Wheel Gun

The Smith & Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum remains an icon of revolver excellence. It’s not a gun for the faint of heart or the untrained, but that’s exactly what makes it so formidable. Its relative obscurity in modern times does nothing to diminish its legacy as a firearm that commands respect and awe. If you’re going to carry a wheel gun and you’re serious about what that means, the Model 57 is without question an outstanding choice. It’s the six-shooter that stands ready to answer danger with authority—the unrivaled king of wheel guns, waiting for someone bold enough to wield it.
