All firearms out in public should have visible trigger locks – That’s one way we must respond to evil’s easy access to guns. [More]

The useful idiots’ll eat that up!

It’s almost like people who would do such things have no regard for the law…

Two comments I didn’t approve:

You should take part in a contest for among the best blogs on the web. I will advocate this website!

And:

Your perspectives always spark curiosity and offer a unique take on timeless topics—it would be captivating to see you delve into how they intersect with modern shifts, like AI or sustainable living. Your clarity in breaking down complex ideas is exceptional. Thanks for providing such engaging content—excited for more!

Not only were they off topic (see sidebar “Comment House Rules”), but they all were in the “spam” file and linked back to their sites, so my guess is they weren’t as sincere in their admiration as the 37 others that came in yesterday from American-sounding names that were posted in Russian.

I translated some of those, and they “like” me even more than the first two.

The viscous cycle of thinking guns make you safe, when its the fact everyone has a gun that makes it unsafe. America is just behind the point of saving itself with mass civilian homicides now. [More]

Spoken like a true anti-gun male, George!

My woke spellcheck tried to correct me when I was publicizing my latest on AmmoLand…

Why don’t I get different plugin?

Nah, this one give me material.

Universities, school districts nationwide call for ‘decolonizing’ Thanksgiving: ‘Day of mourning’ [More]

These are the same sanctimonious useful idiots who either refuse to have anything to do with family that won’t drink their Kool-Aid, or demand to ruin the day for everybody else with indignant preaching.

I’ll be hosting a family/friend gathering tomorrow. I’m thankful there is no one like that in my life.

And just in time for stimulating table conversation, this “paper” from 2020:

How Colonization Fostered Public Mass Gun Violence in the US (and what Education and Society can do about it)
By Stephanie Glick, PhD
This paper positions public mass gun violence (PMGV) as an intergenerational consequence of the violence of colonization, coloniality, and slavery in the United States. I map how the shooter’s white privilege, alongside his white/male fragility, combined with a national consciousness built on an ethos of colonization and coloniality, leads him to believe he has unearned “rights” to the social riches of the center. I proffer that most of us who benefit from capitalist, neo-liberal, patriarchal state and social institutions are complicit in co-creating the conditions that produce PMGV’s gunboys and gunmen because in order to benefit from these institutions, we perpetuate a system of insiders and outsiders. As illustrated, some possibilities for allaying violence are grounded in practicing critical self-reflection and capacities for discomfort.

Stephanie sounds like the type who’d tell you turkey is murder.
