The US today has extraordinary levels of gun ownership. But to see this as a venerable tradition is to misread history [More]
Right. They didn’t advertise guns until 1945.

We’re the Only Ones Cannibalized Enough
Thousands of guns sent off by North Texas local law enforcement agencies to be destroyed were first stripped of parts that were then sold online by a private company. [More]
I’m waiting for the same folks who invented the terms “ghost guns” and “zombie guns” to seize on “Frankenstein guns.”
Oh, wait– they already have.

Going Whole Hogg
So we can have TEC-9s…?
Is anybody ever going to ask him to list every “gun control” law he demands at which point he won’t ask for any more?
And as long as we’re in a debating mood, I wonder if “libertarian” Spike Cohen would like to take my challenge to see if he is ultimately preferable to Hogg…
Finland’s Government Support for Civilian Shooting: A Step in the Right Direction the U.S. Should Take
“Well, the reservists are ready and willing, if Russkies are coming. They will be a big help for the regular army,” Saro declared. “If there will be new shooting ranges opened, the main reason is just to be ready and practice. It is pretty similar to our Civil Guard that was active before the wars. Then, besides reservist and military, there are hunters.” [More]
Yes, there’s plenty wrong with their “gun control” laws. That doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what they do right.
Late Start
I had to write an article.
Looks like I’ve got a pretty full Inbox this morning afternoon and a new piece to promote. Better get cracking…
Daily Defense Redux
David Codrea says the quiet parts out-loud. [Listen]
Here’s yesterday’s Armed American Radio, in which I once more demonstrate my total unsuitability to coexist in a Democrat world.

So Much for Background Checks
Surveillance video from Colorado demonstrates how a 10-year-old nonverbal autistic kid is treated by a teaching aid in a society succumbing to savagery… After Jones was arrested this month, the Littleton Public Schools released a statement, saying Jones was hired in August after ‘satisfactory reference checks and after passing a thorough background check’.

I’d call her a beast and speculate on public reaction if races were reversed, but I don’t want Democrats to think ill of me.

A Perfect Test Laboratory
Don’t be shy now.. gun grabbers are very brave sitting behind their security estates with armed guards to protect them whilst they spew this weird ideological BS through their laptops. I’m offering you the chance to stand up for what you believe in and the opportunity to put your theory to the test. [More]
Instead, violence monopolists here demonize the “law -abiding” and conflate attempts to petition for redress of grievances as attacks by violent, racist extremists.
Knowing this is what they’ll end up with if they succeed.

While everyone is focused on his hypocrisy, the bigger lie getting less notice is that invasion-facilitating treason is a “policy disagreement.”

We’re the Only Ones Camera Shy Enough
ATF has not released footage from Body Worn Cameras (BWC) the agents are required to use… The second video shows agents approaching the front door of the home where one officer applies what appears to be tape to obscure the doorbell camera on Malinowski’s home. [More]
A Jeff Cooper quote comes to mind:
I have been criticized by referring to our federal masked men as “ninja” … Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing. A man who takes it upon himself to shed blood while concealing his identity is a revolting perversion of the warrior ethic. It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.

Passing the Hat
Robert Kerr Elementary School in Durand, Michigan, encouraged students to wear hats of their choice for a “hat day” event two years ago. The daughter of Adam Stroub, who filed the lawsuit on her behalf, wore a black hat featuring a white star, an image of an AR-15, and the phrase “Come and Take It,” a set of symbols frequently used to support the right to bear arms. Michael Papanek, a behavioral specialist at the school, noticed the hat and alerted school principal Amy Leffel, who asked Papanek to contact her parents and ask them to bring another hat for her to wear. [More]

Schools have dress codes. I’d file this under “Pick your battles more wisely.”
