My Kind of Razzmatazz

Chicago has a higher homicide rate than comparably large cities. Of the 11 most populous U.S. cities (over 1 million people), Chicago consistently has the highest homicide rate. [More]

Forget it, Jake…

Now that’s “environmental justice“!

Hunting is a great American pastime. Unfortunately, human error, equipment malfunctions, and medical emergencies lead to hundreds of accidents each year [More]

As with all such statistics, there will be concentrations that affect the whole. I’d like to see a further breakdown between Fudds who vote Democrat and Constitutionalists.

Then again, in the interests of fairness:

Carry On

In 2026, 29 states have permitless concealed carry freedoms. Concealed carry legislation has no consistent impact on crime in the U.S…. Of the 12 states that passed permitless carry laws between 2019 and 2022, 11 had lower crime rates in 2024 than they did in 2019. [More]

In terms of prevention, we don’t know what wasn’t reported. In terms of no increase in violent crime, so much for “DODGE CITY! BLOOD IN THE STREETS OVER FENDER BENDERS!!!” hysteria.

Crunching the Numbers

Defensive Gun Use Statistics: Self-Defense Cases (2026) [More]

Using surveys, it’s impossible to come up with an accurate number, which explains the disparity of 2.5 million to 65,000 DGUs, which is still a lot more than the number of homicides.

The important statistic to remember is that 100% of gun prohibitionists would rather the defenders had been killed than armed.

That’s Why It’s Called ‘Fraud’

Decades of national and state-level data on violent crime, homicide, and mass shooting show no consistent evidence that stricter gun laws reduce overall crime rates. [More]

Right, but as anyone with a brain knows, that’s just an excuse to give the suckers while they’re swindling them out of their rights, and never was what they’re intended to do.

An Age-Old Question

How Old Do You Have to be to Buy a Gun [More]

Tench Coxe said “sixteen to sixty” as fit for militia service, but never even hinted at ownership prohibitions on either side of that range.

U.S. Code says “The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age,” so how it can then require 21 for handguns is one of those paradoxes that can only be explained by pointing out fraud.

Michael Bloomberg says “25”… if you’re a minority male.

And, of course, we know the goal is Democrats would rather see you dead first.

Enemy Strength

Republican women are 14% more likely to own guns than Democrat men. [More]

That may not be a fair metric since one party knows how to define genders. Still, it’s telling.

And it also illustrates why new gun owners are nothing to crow about.

In terms of total numbers, I wouldn’t be starting any civil wars if I were that outgunned…
