When Fractions of a Second Count

The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones. [More]

Second time this morning I’ve channeled my inner Family Guy…

I may have to reconsider my position on suing gun manufacturers…

Cowardly DSM apparatchik Lawrence O’Donnell spreads the fear-mongering message that “Resistance is futile.” [Watch]

The scenario he presents of armed teachers congregating in the hallway is hardly the only option, nor even a tactically sound or likely one. And his solution is apparently to have “Only Ones” afraid to face one guy with an AR-15 go after the untold millions he wants to ban.

Cause and Effect

Steven Dettelbach, the newly sworn-in director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said there is no overarching answer to solving the nation’s gun violence, even as guns have become the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. [More]

All by their own selves?

But what about those numbers?

This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 1-14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15-19, or even ages 15-24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 1-19 or 1-24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies.

Gee, it’s almost like the media are the enemy or something…

Arms Race Realities

Black Gun Owners React to Supreme Court’s Concealed Carry Decision [More]

MSN takes a page out of the race hustler playbook to try to make it sound like the problem is with white gun owners.

Funny how they don’t have a designated “Editorial” section and stick crap like this under “News.” You’d think if it actually were, there’d be an unbiased analysis on why some things are happening “disproportionately.”

Joe Biden’s Poster Child for Abortion

Ohio 10-year-old’s alleged rapist is Guatemalan illegal immigrant [More]

So whose future Democrat incentive policies made it all possible?

Funny, how many “progressive news” sources don’t tell us that. For instance, The Columbus Dispatch (a USA Today/Gannett Publication) only called him “a Columbus man,” and readers had to get down into the weeds and figure out why “an interpreter” was involved…

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …

In Other Words, Freedom is Slavery

[C]onstitutional thinking has evolved since 1787. Today, most new constitutions include far more enumerated rights than ours, notes David Law. The right to education, for instance, and to privacy, food, healthcare and housing. [More]

You know, the right to enslave and force others to provide.

I just got done talking about government “giving” rights…

Or as Marx advocated…

Funny how that keeps ending up…

What can I say but The Los Angeles Times…?

Ask the Experts!

While most experts say comprehensive gun control is still the best solution to mass shootings… [More]

Well, that right there tells me I can’t trust a thing that follows. That and blocking access to what AoL considers “extreme,” blaming “racism” i.e. traditional American culture, and adding in a dash of “equity” collectivism…

Besides, when they emphasize “young men and boys,” how are we supposed to define either?

I don’t suppose beating unforgiving woke culture into young skulls from an early age perverts minds and instills an obsession for exacting revenge against institutions perceived as sources of torment…?

And how are you going to “combat” $h!+ when you don’t even mention the only deterrent proven to stop manufactured monsters in their tracks except to say we need to prohibit that?

Staggering Around the Truth

“Every gun sold without a completed background check poses a potential risk,” said Rob Wilcox, federal legal director for the gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. “And these staggering numbers show that we have a serious problem.” [More]

No, the serious problem would be if you could demonstrate the resultant carnage directly produced by this. The fact that you haven’t even cited one (I don’t count Sutherland Springs because time was not a factor, the Air Force withholding information that would have never shown up was), yet according to this there have been over a million “opportunities,” points to the whole purpose of this transparent propaganda piece being to gin up a hysterical demand for more controls on you and me and fewer restraints on government power.

And then they explain “the Charleston Loophole”:

The shooter had admitted to drug possession during a prior arrest, which made it illegal for him to buy or own a gun.

Anybody see Word One about Hunter Biden in all this fine “reporting”?

What else aren’t we told about? You’d think the National Institute of Justice’s 2013 “Summary of Select Firearm Violence Prevention Strategies” would at least rate a mention:

Universal background checks … Effectiveness depends on the ability to reduce straw purchasing, requiring gun registration …

No? What else would we expect from NBC News?
