The Journalistic Turd in the Punch Bowl

Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors.

If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.

Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”

Speaking as One ‘Healthy Cancer’ Cell to Another

The members of today’s Left have pushed liberty into nihilism, defining it as the right to live free from biological sex, family, tradition, and God—free from reality. They paint every inherited structure, every moral duty and social obligation, as a shackle that must be smashed, by government if necessary, so the individual can be made “free.” [More]

Damned oppressive physics…

The unasked questions: Cui bono?

And how can the protective layers be pulled back to root them out and drag them into burning sunlight?

Following the Science

This 16-year-old student invented a bulletproof backpack and is now a finalist at the world’s largest high school science fair [More]

Who wants to be the one to tell ’em?

Or the one to try and “persuade” psychopaths…?

I don’t suppose there’s any other common factor that careful observation could tell us might be an effective deterrent to school mass shootings…?

‘Cause’ and Effect

Firearms overtook auto accidents as the leading cause of death in children [More]

See how the sneaky bastards word it? “Auto ACCIDENTS,” but just plain “firearms,” not “firearms ABUSE.” And I’ve heard even with that the numbers are wrong.

About what we’d expect from NPR…

On top of that, how many of those “children” are hardened adolescent urban predators instead of what even Google recognizes the common understanding to be?

Take Bloomberg/Democrat enclaves out of the equation and then let’s do some comparisons.

Another Nutty Government Idea

NIH study recruiting 18-year-olds to learn ‘unknown’ side effects of testicle removal for gender dysphoria- The NIH research said the side effects of surgically removing testicles from biological males has ‘not been extensively studied’ [More]

Then again, any young man who would sign up for this probably doesn’t need them anyway.

The thought strikes that more study and testing will go into this than was used before taking the clot shot live.

The thought also strikes that the Democrat position is anyone old enough to volunteer for testicle amputation isn’t old enough to buy a gun.

So Privileged It’s Killing Us

“Men are advantaged in every aspect of our society, yet we have worse health outcomes for most of the things that will kill you,” said Derek Griffith, director of Georgetown University’s Center for Men’s Health Equity in the Racial Justice Institute. [More]

I don’t suppose “irony” is Derek’s strong suit…

Or that GSS (Gaslight Stress Syndrome) is a medical “thing”…

First Do Harm

That appears to be the mission statement for Opposite Day “progressive” gunquacks:

It’s the part of me that won’t give up on our AMA efforts to stop the public health crisis of gun violence, demanding waiting periods, universal background checks, red flag laws, and bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines that our House of Delegates policy supports. Enough is ENOUGH. I’ll keep relentlessly showing up to accomplish those goals.

I wish he’d shake his rattles or yell a few times as Dr. Mbogo does. Makes you feel like he’s accomplishing something.

Don’t these charlatans have some children to give clot shots to?
