"gun violence" - The War on Guns

Burying the Lede

Milwaukee families honor loved ones lost to gun violence at annual vigil [More]

The real story here is that no one was shot.

It’s kind of a thing.

I could * do this * all day…

Erika Kirk: America Is Facing a ‘Soul Problem,’ Not a Gun Violence Epidemic [More]

That’s pretty evident from all the ugly conspiracy theories that have been emerging on this.

A ‘Gun Violence’ Subject Matter Expert

Seattle mayor rejects locking up repeat criminals during tense debate: ‘Maybe they’re hungry’ [More]

Hungry predators? You mean the most dangerous kind?

And Bruce, of course, doesn’t believe you should be able to defend yourself against them with a gun. Matter of fact, if you’re a Christian, he says you deserve to be attacked.

Maybe he’s recalling how he pulled an illegally carried gun on an 8-months pregnant woman over a parking space dispute and is afraid you might do the same thing.

Looks like instead of being acquitted, a county attorney dismissed all the charges. Like another stooge, he was a victim of coicumstance, or at least, he claims, of “racial profiling.”

Maybe he was hungry.

Up in Their Grill

“In communities with the highest rates of gun violence, residents are less likely to receive dental care.” [More]

Logical fallacies, anyone?

I’ll bet you could say the same thing about communities with the highest rates of STDs. Democrats, on the whole, are less sanitary.

Any time The Trace wants to admit to some real science…

Yes, they make sure to point out it’s a misleading term.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
