Debunking Bunkum

Who says I want to escape? [More]

Seems society’s a lot safer than we think, and self-defense is statistically insignificant. You believe that when told by people who’ve been lying and trying to grab your guns for decades, right?

If true, not only should the police disarm (sorry, forgot about those superior “Only Ones” abilities), but their Train Smart program is admittedly putting attendees at risk they knew or should have known they were endangering, and maybe someone who took it and then blows a DGU can sue them.

Speaking of DGUs, even if you accept their calculated low-balling of numbers, 69,000 still exceeds “gun deaths.” Oops.

Funny thing: This “research” isn’t signed. I was hoping the authors could demonstrate some of their claims. I’d volunteer to help.

CONCLUSION: They’d rather see us dead than armed.

Culture Clash

You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands. [More]

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

Full Court Press

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has granted rehearing en banc in Rhode v. Bonta—a case backed by the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association. [More]

They figure a summoning of all the Nazgûl will overturn the panel, bolster the infringement, and give Democrats a few more years to drag things on until Republicans blow things and SCOTUS can be reformed.

Change my mind.

Arms-Bearing Conduct

If you can do it by yourself you can do it with others. [Watch]

And yeah, the video title is over the top, but hardly surprising considering the source.

Nice to see the militia aspect being promoted by a 2A lawyer as a necessary legal argument — too often it’s overlooked with individual self-defense soaking up all the energy.

I do wonder if states that would go after private “militias” would ignore Everytown’s “Train Smart” for similar activities in the field.

What You Put In Is What You Get Out

Live Results: Tennessee 7th Congressional District special election [More]

Seems like a pretty clear choice in an election many are considering an indicator of things to come:

I wonder what the effort to recruit gunvoters consisted of.

UPDATE

I guess telling people you hate them with a passion isn’t a winning strategy.

A Speed-y Trial

Virginian Hatchet Speed STILL Fighting Preposterous J6-related “Silencer Possession” Conviction Despite Being Pardoned By President Trump [More]

The title confused the hell out of me. I haven’t been following this case– I guess Hatchet Speed is the guy’s name…?

What, is it a nickname or his real one? I suppose I could just Google it…

Not exactly the kind of guy I want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with, but I guess if you can get him on arms charges you can get me.

Gun Groups’ Warm Welcome for Trump’s Proposed ATF Head is Premature

Gun owners who pay attention to his confirmation hearings will have a chance to hear for themselves, and see how Cekada’s answers, especially to questions posed by anti-gun Democrats, comport with being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]

“He won’t betray us as much” seems a heck of a standard to applaud.
