The Going Rate

Rural gun deaths exceed urban rates by 28% because of increased suicide rates [More]

Now, what are the actual numbers, because we all know how the rates game is played.

One group making great hay with these “results” is 97percent, the kinder, gentler citizen disarmers. I worked on a three-parter exposing this over the weekend that is now in the publishing queue over at AmmoLand.

Bottom line: We’re being played. So it’s no surprise the “real reporters” couldn’t be bothered to do any more work than was required to parrot the narrative.

Further Adventures in Baselessness

‘I WILL become governor!’: Arizona GOP hopeful Kari Lake insists she’s still on track to overturn Dem rival’s election win, as AG’s office demands explanation for polling day issues before certifying the result [More]

How long have eyes been focused on Maricopa County election shenanigans? Why does it seem like a serious team of investigative auditors empowered to compel the production of data, records, and documents could get to the bottom of things in a matter of hours?

Or is it easier to smear fed-up citizens as terrorists?

♫ It’s Time for An-i-man-i-acs and We’re Zany to the Max ♫

Vandals release up to 40,000 mink from an Ohio farm to their death – with at least 10,000 still unaccounted for: Plow brought in to clear road of carcasses after many were shot or run over by cars … A group called the Animal Liberation Front took credit for other releases of minks [More]

Who else can’t wait for geniuses like these to gain more political power?

We’re the Only Ones Widely Spreading Enough

Grassley Alleges ‘Widespread Sexual Misconduct In The FBI’ [Watch]

When their whole function increasingly consists of screwing other Americans, why would we be surprised?

Now, who thinks Grassley promising a “bipartisan” effort is going to result in systemic reform?

Who’s Responsible?

‘Publix denies any liability’ for grandmother, toddler’s murders in Florida grocery store [More]

Ordinarily, I’d agree unless deliberate indifference to known dangers could be demonstrated. We are generally responsible for our own defense. Still, statements against customers being armed don’t help discourage predators, although, in Florida, open carry outside of specifically defined limited circumstances still isn’t an option.

As for companies that disallow any kind of carry, I’d like to see more gun owners hand the manager this card and spread the word about his refusal to sign it:

Oath Keepers: Targeted Red

I received a lot of phone calls from news agencies in the summer of 2001 after the People went to visit their Capitol on January 6. I decided to write a book that would not be subject to Internet deletion or MSM spin. It took me over a year, which explains my lengthy silence — I was immersed in it! Now it’s published, almost 600 pages on paper. [More]

Oath Keepers founding member Elias Alias shares insider information we won’t find anywhere else.

The Incredible Shrinking Plan

The National Rifle Association saw revenue continue to decline in 2021, when it collected $227 million, the lowest figure in a decade and a 20 percent drop from the year before, according to the group’s most recent IRS filing. Back in 2016, the organization took in a record $367 million. [More]

Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace takes its mouth off his teat long enough to gloat.

That said, numbers don’t lie, and the board knows what it needs to do to begin to appeal to member confidence. Except Wayne has his fingers dug in and wrapped around the spine, lest he falls off the tiger and gets devoured.

We’re the Only Ones Pushy Enough

…Police said 20-year-old Rashaun Smith was shot in the stomach at the Walmart on Brodhead Road earlier this month. Vinyard rushed to the side of Smith to help him. Once paramedics arrived, Sansone said Vinyard stepped away to allow them to do their job. Sansone said an off-duty officer violently pushed Vinyard to the ground, causing him to slam his head on the pavement. He was rushed to a hospital, where he later died. [More]

And are you ready for a big surprise?

The officer’s name has not been released…

The ‘H’ Word

“It’s not a hate crime to assault somebody and in the course of it use the word ‘haole,’” court-appointed attorney Lynn Panagakos said during her opening statement. [More]

I wouldn’t count on extrapolating that to include other applications…

And speaking of Hawaii, with a new Bruen-defying “sensitive places” bill making the rounds there, I wouldn’t count on infringed recognition of the right to bear arms anytime soon…

The Enemy Within

Dolan insisted, “The Second Amendment is not in any way violated by this bill.” [More]

That’s because Dolan is a f***ing liar:

State Senator Matt Dolan, a “moderate Republican,” may as well be a Democrat as far as gun owners are concerned. Described by CNN as a “non-Trump Republican … in the McCain lane, the Romney lane…” Dolan penned an op-ed in support of the state’s proposed STRONG Act, essentially a “red flag” edict that promises due process before gun confiscations without really delivering it, and requires “background checks” on private sales, and adds liability penalties to sellers. And no surprise here, Dolan admits “I understand this bill probably doesn’t go far enough for some and goes too far for others.”
