ER Doctor’s Disarmament Diagnosis a Prescription for Tyranny

These infringements, as they always do, will only burden “law-abiding” people. Criminals will still get all the guns they want the old-fashioned way as they keep sending doctors more patients. [More]

If it walks like a gunquack and quacks like a gunquack…

What’s in an Aptronym?

Under the headline, “‘Brain flaws’: Understanding MAGA as an epidemic disease” and the subheadline, “Epidemiologist Dr. Gary Slutkin: MAGA is a ‘dangerous and lethal syndrome’ of ‘Authoritarian Violence Disorder,’” we are told Slutkin is “a distinguished epidemiologist, formerly with the World Health Organization.” And under the guise of stopping violence, he fires off this Nazi-style propaganda to inspire violence against Trump and his “diseased” supporters. [More]

That sounds libelous. Hey, it’s Salon…

It also sounds like a good reason for a medical board complaint to so label citizens one politically opposes.

Funny, what was once considered a psychiatric disorder and what’s considered on now. The whole thing seems pretty Soviet…

The Meat of the Matter

Bioethicist S. Matthew Liao: In order to fight “climate change”, we should genetically modify humans to be intolerant to meat. [More]

Flesh the implementation out for us, Matthew. A global central comittee, right? And as with Covid, “my body my choice” doesn’t apply — for the greater good?

Now, what about holdouts with guns…?

During the lawless famine this genocidal useful idiot is helping usher in, he, with his ideas, will get no acceptance from those dragging him out of his ivory tower except as a source of protein.

“Progressive” academics… is it any wonder I love them so?

Mayday, Mayday

Gun Policies That May Decrease Outcomes… Gun Policies That May Increase Outcomes [More]

So “may” means it’s spcualtion, not “fact.”

What other outcomes “may” arise from citizen disarmament and a monopoly of violence, and how come they aren’t even acknowledged, let alone factored in?

Leftist ivory tower eggheads– is it any wonder we love them so?

Them and false authority gunquacks.

Would’ja Look At That Dead Heartbeat…

Radiologists and students studying the practice will now be instructed to avoid referring to first-trimester babies as “living” or “live,” according to new guidelines developed by a panel of scholars. [More]

Speaking of Compensating

This is not to excuse pornography, but rather refocus inquiry and reflection (as I do here) on the ways in which guns amplify phallocentrism. [More]

Academia sent me a link to this 2007 “study.”

Sounds like author C. Richard King has too much time on his hands and/or too much of something else in his hands…

He even cites SPLC’s Mark Pitcavage, who looks like his hands wouldn’t reach, at least his own…

BREAKING: Academic Discovers Violent Crime Not Committed by ‘Law-Abiding’!

“If state lawmakers really want to reduce gun violence, the most effective policy they can enact is one that requires permits in order to purchase or possess a gun.” [More]

Don’t bother telling author Michael Siegel that “correlation = causation” is a logical fallacy. He knows.

But that trough won’t fill itself.

An Effective Combination

For the crime of running a huge survey on defensive gun use in the U.S. that was not forced into the narrative structure of today’s gun-control activism, William English, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, has been subpoenaed, attacked in The New York Times and by many other “mainstream” outlets and, basically, pilloried in order to, as he put it in The Wall Street Journal, “warn off other academics thinking of doing similar research, and to influence courts where states are losing on the merits.” [More]

Or as the Keeper always said:
