The Takeaway

According to the bulletin, citing law enforcement, Card recently reported mental health issues, which included hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard base in Maine. The person of interest was allegedly committed to a mental health facility for two weeks during the summer of 2023. [More]

So who decided someone this abnormally dangerously disturbed was safe to unleash on the rest of us after two weeks?

Because How Could Only Ones ‘Just Following Orders’ Go Wrong?

Snelling referred to bombshell reporting by the Chicago Sun-Times and others that found 27 current and former Chicago police officers appeared in a leaked roster for the Oath Keepers, an anti-government extremist group. According to the report, at least nine officers are still on the force. [More]

I set that report aside to write an article to refute the many damnable lies.

That blocks teens from open carrying because minors can’t get a concealed carry license. [More]

If they’re “at least 19 years of age or eighteen years of age and a member of the United States Armed Forces, or honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces, and is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm,” they can.

And who’s dumb enough to think it will stop the ones who can’t from being armed?

A Confederacy of Dunces

Six lieutenant governors from across the country joined gun violence prevention advocates Tuesday to share their stories and offer solutions at a policy discussion event. The Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association hosted the gun violence prevention policy summit, which was the first event of its kind. The DLGA partnered with the gun violence prevention advocacy groups Everytown for Gun Safety, March for Our Lives and Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, as well as the labor union American Federation of Teachers, for the event. [More]

Basically, these impotent “geniuses” want to disarm you and do nothing that will give a predator pause.

I got distracted by the guy who looks like he pees sitting down– are weird socks some kind of recognition signaling with these characters?

So Much for ‘Crime Gun Intelligence’

“The flow of crime guns to those people. How are they being armed? Many of them are felons, people who the law says can’t have weapons yet there finding them anyway.” [More]

So the guy in charge admits what he’s doing isn’t working and his solution is to do more of it…?

And marvel at the way professional “Authorized Journalists” are not only subject matter ignorant but grade-schoolers with their stock-in-trade, the English language.

So much for the “tenants” of journalism…

ATF Employee Caught Gun Running to Mexico [More]

This is the topic I was thinking of writing up in detail.

I do have a quibble:

The Mexican Government makes the bold claim that 70% of all guns used in crimes were smuggled into Mexico from the United States.

That used to be the claim the antis all made, but they started at “95 to 100 percent.” Now the DSM is more properly qualifying things by saying:

Nearly 70% of TRACED [emphasis added] firearms used to commit crimes and seized in Mexico come from the United States, according to ATF.

So instead of being a flat-out lie, it’s now an insidious lie of omission, because they don’t then inform:

No specific numbers on how many of those guns “recovered in Mexico and traced back to the United States” were, in fact, military purchases, but the State Department cables indicate a portion of the fewer than 12 percent of the traceable weapons actually came from the United States in gun shop/individual type purchases. Remember, that’s not 12 percent of the tens of thousands of weapons recovered – it’s only 12 percent of the weapons recovered that were traceable. It’s nowhere near the 12 percent figure that has been misquoted and used as evidence of the United State’s “horrific” problem of illegal gun sales.

Now, tell us more about the drunks

Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers

The man, who has only been identified as a 28-year-old from Redwood, then attempted to rob the gun store owner by swiping a firearm while wielding a hammer, according to witness statements to police. The gun store owner, who has not been named, grabbed a gun and fired two rounds at the suspected robber. [More]

That’s one way to commit suicide.
