You Gotta Start Somewhere…

This means that of the three percent of U.S. homicides carried out with rifles, a portion might have been carried out with lever actions, another portion might have been carried out with bolt actions, another portion with pump actions, another with semiautomatics, and yet another with AR-15s, etc. [More]

Don’t worry. The grabbers want to ban handguns, too.

We Could Tell You, But Then We’d Have to Not Report Who Killed You

Illegals Killed HOW Many People Thus Far in 2026? They Won’t Tell Us. [More]

So when Cato says “Not as many as some,” they’re pulling the numbers out of where?

The other deception they pull is what they compare the rate to treats the whole country like a homogenously whole, rather than a poll where mostly clean water is being polluted by identifiable local sources.

Is saying that going to get me in trouble? I sure hope so.

My Kind of Town

Chicago shootings: At least 43 shot, 7 fatally, in Labor Day weekend gun violence, police say [More]

Where Credit is Due?

@MayorBMScott has gotten no where near the credit he deserves for helping lead Baltimore to a record low in gun violence. He’s leading the way and there’s lots to learn from how Baltimore achieved this. [More]

That and the year ain’t over yet.

Got Repeatable Results?

A release from Mayor Jones is touting a 15% reduction in overall crime in the city of St. Louis last year compared to 2023. Jones says the 150 homicides in the city last year were the lowest number of murders in the city of St. Louis since 2013, and represents a 43% decrease during her administration. [More]

Now prove a direct correlation between that and anything she did, as opposed to that’s just the way it worked out and a rise can come at any time.

We’re the Only Ones Close Enough

The FBI’s Biden-Era Murder Estimates Are Far Below the Number of Homicides Recorded on Death Certificates [More]

I see government is applying the same meticulous standards it has to keeping track of illegal alien kids, and all those firearms and devices on the NFRTR…
