Scare Tactics

The man who was fatally shot by police after entering a Target store in Omaha, Nebraska, armed with an AR-15-style rifle had obtained the weapon just four days earlier at a Cabela’s sporting goods store, police said Wednesday. [More]

And aside from putting Cabela’s on the spot with a fact irrelevant to the situation, the purpose of telling us that is…? Did the guy pass the background check we’re told must be made universal or not?

If it had been four years, they’d simply come up with a different avenue of attack.

As Long as We’re Being Particular

The report comes as the nation grapples with a rise in violent crime, particularly from guns Democrat jurisdictions. [More]

I fixed it for them.

Attributing increases to the recent rise in gun sales is a repackaging of the trick they tried to do to blame things on the pandemic. As I noted a few months back:

In order for pandemic-related sales to significantly move statistics, the transference from the “legal” to the “illegal” market would need to be almost instantaneous, when in fact, ATF time-to-crime (“the amount of time between the retail sale of a firearm by a federal firearms licensee (FFL) and its recovery by law enforcement”) statistics show a national average period for 2021 of 6.21 years.

Not that we should expect either the Bureau or the Associated Press to factor that into their public consumption “conclusions.”

A Noted ‘Commonsense Gun Safety Advocate

Photo and video evidence “clearly show Baldwin, multiple times, with his finger inside of the trigger guard and on the trigger,” according to the statement of probable cause submitted by prosecutors. [More]

But…but…but…

Besides, we know how important family phone calls are to him.

So Much for the Canons of Journalism

Major News Outlets Say They’re Ditching Objectivity In The Name Of ‘Diversity’ [More]

Authorized journalists.”

Fourth estate fifth columnists.”

Real reporters.”

Dare one say “Lügenpresse“?

Any way you look at it. they’re the DSM and they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Just Like the Founders Intended

The Second Amendment Allows States To Implement Varied Firearm Regulations To Address Their Local Needs [More]

I kept reading through this trying in vain to find something, anything reflecting Founding intent to substantiate that claim.

Then again, I’ve been waiting for over 20 years for one of the lying grabbers to be able to do that.

A Million Here, a Million There

[More]

Some question that number:

Curious as to why there is such a huge difference between GOA’s and other estimates, Firearms News contacted Director of Federal Affairs Aiden Johnston, who cited Congressional Research Service’s “Handguns, Stabilizing Braces, and Related Components.”

“While there are no available statistics to gauge authoritatively the number of stabilizing braces already made and sold in the United States, unofficial estimates suggest that there are between 10 and 40 million stabilizing braces and similar components already in civilian hands, either purchased as accessories or already attached to firearms made at home or at the factory,” the report states. Since CRS is the Library of Congress’ official research group working “primarily and directly for members of Congress and their committees and staff,” GOA chose to use the same data lawmakers rely on.

And point of order: I should have spelled his first name Aidan with two “a”s and I submitted a correction request at the time.

Transformers, More Than Meets the Eye

According to Le’s statement, she was one of many eyewitness to the events surrounding what was described as a “sexual assault” committed by a trans-identified male against a female inmate. [More]

Well, if “progressives” demand we believe women and if “progressives” demand we believe trans women are women, and if the accused pleads not guilty, then who are we allowed to believe?

This sounds like a question for Norman

Not the ‘Only One’?

In a strongly worded letter to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach, obtained and reviewed by DrydenWire.com, Sheriff Waak states that he will not take any enforcement action on this rule change “or allow any federal agent to take action against his citizens.”

“I stand ready to defend the rights of honest, law-abiding residents here in Polk County,” Waak states. [More]

Physically?

There’s an interview I didn’t have 42 minutes to watch here. I can’t promise you he’ll answer that question.

Render Unto Caesar

Over the last 12 to 18 months, Lowe’s Innovation Labs has been testing out the system which utilizes RFID [Radio Frequency Identity] chips, scanners and blockchain. If implemented, it would render a stolen tool inoperable which would discourage bad actors and in turn, keep employees safe… [More]

Just think of the possibilities for “commonsense gun safety”!

The Usual Suspects

Four suspects in a dark blue four-door Nissan with tinted windows and a temporary license plate are believed to have been involved in the shooting. [More]

I wonder if you did a multiple choice survey in the neighborhood involved with a $1,000 cash prize how many would guess “NRA members”…
