I’m Back, Sort Of

Got in last night just before midnight.

Now I get to check the news and sort through emails…

But not until after I finish an article for Firearms News… I started it before we left and got the answers I needed over the weekend.

Hopefully, I can start posting new stuff this afternoon.

Gun Laws vs. Crime Rates in 2024

Almost daily, legislators propose new gun laws aimed at reducing crime rates. However, both new and existing laws are unlikely to impact crime significantly. With over 90 years of gun control legislation and crime data, it’s clear that these laws do little to curb criminality or save lives. [More]

“Gun Control” doesn’t work, at least for its stated justification.

Even NRA and NSSF-approved “gun control.”

Another Win-Red Beneficiary

“Deemed” how? What part does due process play?

And if he’s a “serious threat,” will he still have physical access to the public?

And yeah, every time you donate through WinRed, the Vichycons get their cut.

The Culpability Consequence

…26 million Americans believe “the use of force” is justified to keep Trump from regaining the presidency. [More]

They mean “by others,” and like the MSNBC moron, most have no clue that it could blow back on them up close and personal. They think they’ll read about it, make some “serve’s the fasicsts right” comments on social media, and that’ll be the end of it.

We’re the Only Ones Playing Grand Theft Auto Enough

…the entire time police had Robinson’s vehicle impounded, they never checked to see whether both her fog lights were working, or not. They also never tested the car for potentially relevant evidence, such as gunpowder residue… [More]

Who needs good old-fashioned police work?

Come to think of it, that generally involved a rubber hose…
