Facing Legal Obstacles To Gun Bans, Prohibitionists Shift The Narrative

It’s good, a victory actually, that people who would like to ban guns – and that, of course, is their ultimate goal – have a sense that it’s not going to happen politically, at least in the near term. But just because they talk about “progress” without prohibitions doesn’t mean they’ve given up on the idea. [More]

Just because “progressive” policies have enabled a subset of violent and resentful morons with a sense of unearned entitlement, anger management issues, and poor impulse control is no reason to make demands against the rest of us being able to repel them.

That leads to an unusual suggestion by Ludwig to curb gun violence: “zoning commercial so that you have more foot traffic in a neighborhood.” [More]

And seeing how this guy rolls, expect those zones to be “gun-free.”

You shouldn’t have to tell a “scientist” that correlation is not causation. I don’t get much foot traffic around my house, yet somehow we manage to behave ourselves.

We’ve got a pretty good idea about why some neighborhoods are different from others. But everyone is afraid to talk about it.
