Lies, Damned Lies, and…

Gun violence in US and what the statistics tell us [More]

I think they mean what selectively presented statistics tell us. For instance, you’d think in any honest analysis of the issue, stuff like who’s doing the violence and where it’s being done would be a foremost concern, instead of, you know, being deliberately omitted.

There are plenty of false conclusions being implied, as well. Case in point, it looks like “gun rights” groups outspend the prohibitionists, and some “gun pundits” are considering that as proof that “we” are winning.

That ignores grassroots vs. Astroturf, and leaves the most important consideration unsaid: The grabbers don’t have to spend as much. The government, with virtually unlimited tax plunder, is carrying the lion’s share of the legal costs, and the media provides all the free publicity they want while ignoring or deliberately suppressing the truth, as evidenced by the second link, above.

Radical Oregon Ruling Declares Defense of Second Amendment Racist and Antisemitic

“Intervenors came before this court and referenced UN mandates, which … is a well-documented trope meant to invoke white supremacist, antisemitic fear of a takeover of our country by outsiders and minorities who are manipulated by an elite class of supervillains,” Egan wrote. The Columbia County ordinance (and by implication, all Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions throughout the Republic) has “antisemitic and racist origins,” he declares. [More]

With judges adopting Antifa’s rhetoric, can communist “people’s courts” for counterrevolutionaries be far off?

Location, Location, Location

A recent back-and-forth crime spree involved three St. Louis County teens reportedly stealing cars, which culminated in a shooting. The trio was arrested in on the eastern side of the river, where they were not going to be prosecuted. So, police brought the teens to the other side to get charges filed. [More]

And why weren’t they going to be prosecuted there?

That’s a rhetorical question.

Welcome to the Party, Pals

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen and 23 other states filed a lawsuit against an egregious and overreaching Biden administration gun control regulation that will turn millions of gun owners into felons if they do not register certain devices they lawfully own with the federal government and pay a tax. [More]

They join FPC, SAF, GOA, NRA and… is anybody keeping track of all the lawsuits on this at one go-to link?

UPDATE

Ask and ye shall receive.

Desensitizing

The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. [More]

Honestly, who ever heard of anyone being attacked in any of those places?

Justice Jill

…Justice Jill Copeland said she was required to consider the social context of anti-Black racism and as a result, gave the young Black first offender a conditional sentence of two years less a day rather than sending him to prison. [More]

The people who indignantly posture as “anti-racists” are laughed at as fools by those they virtue signal for.

The Devil in the Details

This technical change pushes “others” within the definition of “assault weapon” under Connecticut’s ban… While residents of other states are able to register these firearms with the ATF, or change the short barrels for longer ones to make them legal, the ATF has stated that it will not permit any such registrations from Connecticut residents due to Connecticut’s “assault weapon” ban. Nor will changing out the barrels avoid redesignation as banned “assault weapons” under Connecticut law. [More]

Damned if they did, damned if they didn’t.

The Missing Link

During a press conference, a team of Japanese researchers led by Professor Masanori Fukushima stated their intention to sue the Japanese government if the Health Ministry continues to refuse to acknowledge the causal link between the vaccine and deaths. [More]

That’s progress, but they’re still wearing their towels wrong…
