Deadbeat DOJ
It reminds me of the DOJ snot who coined the term me ‘n the boys proudly embrace:
In short, there is a tangled web of connections between a small cadre of firearms activists and their efforts to recover fees through largely unsuccessful FOIA litigation.
Yeah, that’s why we do it.
It also brings up a suggestion I’ve been making of late:
Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.

“Why are you so critical of cops? Back the blue!” [More]
I got a call this morning, some police benevolent group looking for a handout, and just told the guy “I don’t talk to cops” and hung up.

CNN Claims There Have Been ’83 School Shootings’ This Year [More]
Lemme guess: They’re using the Gun Violence Archive, which The Gun Writer, Lee Williams documents:
[A]ccording to Bryant’s all-inclusive definition, there were 417 mass shootings in 2019. The FBI says there were 30, because it uses a much narrower and more realistic definition.
Change my mind.

We’re the Only Ones Salty Enough
This time, it was two Homeland Security agents in Utah, who allegedly sold seized drugs through an informant, earning up to $300,000 per to court documents and according to Yahoo Finance. According to an FBI affidavit, the agents sold “bath salts” to the informant weekly from spring to December, with each ounce sold for $5,000 and resold at a higher price. [More]

You may recall another book of his I reviewed, America, Guns, and Freedom. If you have’t read it, you’re passing up an opportunity to learn from the best.
I just got my copy of his latest in the mail and will find time to read it. I’ll get started, but with my workload and Christmas/New Years plans, it may be January before I finish, which is fine, because I just got the green light from my editor at Firearms News to submit a review.
Correlation ≠ Causation
Yesterday’s school shooting was devastating. But remember, because we organized and acted, we passed legislation in 2022 making major changes to American gun laws. And this year, mass shootings have dropped by a whopping 20% from last year. That’s a big deal, and reason for hope. [More]
Now flesh that out for us. Show your work, your data, and the equations used to reach that conclusion.
You know, prove it.
Can anyone truly be ignorant enough to believe an in-your-face logical fallacy like this without even looking at, let alone understanding the evidence? And if they know he’s lying about this and voted for him anyway, what does that say about them?

So far Pulitzer or his witnesses have testified that Roxanne, 31, went to bed with a local real estate salesman, a French baker, a Belgian race-car driver, the beautiful young wife of a handsome old Kleenex heir, an alleged drug dealer and a supernatural trumpet. That’s right, trumpet. There are charges of drug use. And menages a trois. And incest. And death threats.
