Gun-Free School Zones & Shootings Statistic (2024 Updated) [More]

I don’t know if there’s enough to establish a direct correlation/causation link, but it sure is curious how shootings go up with more political and media demands for and enactment of gun laws…

I’d like to see a study showing a timeline for that. Perhaps this could be a useful application for these AI programs we’re told can sort through stuff and reach conclusions it would otherwise take people years to do…

In the Good Old Summertime

The Chi-Town Democrat convention and Democrat urban areas…? Sure, some might spill over elsewhere, but for the most part it won’t be equal distribution. I suspect we in the red zones will need more popcorn than ammo.

Let’s show the electorate, especially suburban moms, what they’ve been voting for. Let’s let the left turn on each other in all their ugliness while we, whom the FBI smears as “the greatest threat,” sit back peaceably but prepared should any be foolish enough to wander over for the purpose of engagement…

Sobering Thoughts

Prediction: They will issue a ruling addressing the minutia of the procedural rules and punt this back down to the lower courts. They will avoid the issue entirely and thus free and exonerate themselves of holding anyone in the FedGov accountable. [More]

With all the video “gunfluencers” out there getting our hopes up that Cargill will be the beginning of the end for ATF’s “rulemaking” shenanigans, Herschel gives his reasons for believing we could end up disappointed.

Man, I sure hope he’s wrong.

Gemini Rising

Google Gemini invented fake reviews smearing my book about Big Tech’s political biases – Google Gemini invented fake reviews meant to discredit my book about political bias in Big Tech [More]

That goes beyond GIGO and into hallucination and libel territory.

Then again, I was checking to see how the work was propagating and ran across “Meet Preston,” and he doesn’t seem to have me embezzling checks from anybody…

Zero Tolerance is No Virtue

The bill, introduced on Tuesday, will “provide firearm licensees an opportunity to correct statutory and regulatory violations, and for other purposes” and says the “Attorney General may not bring an enforcement action to revoke, or deny a renewal of, a license for a violation of any provision of this chapter or any implementing regulation thereof on the basis of a self-reported violation.” [More]

Good. I was getting tired of posting photos of inspectors with apparent slack stains and then having to deal with threats from U.S. Marshals.

Although I wouldn’t expect Senate Dems to let the bill go anywhere, it’s not on her GovTrack page yet, so I can’t give you a prognosis percent, but my bet is low single-digit.
