We’re the Young Generation and We’ve Got Something to Say

A new generation of young political leaders is gaining power in the US by using their personal experience with gun violence to push for reforms they say the US is ready for… Pearson’s brother, Timphrance Pearson, died of a self-inflected gunshot wound. It wasn’t his first experience with violent loss; just years before, his mentor Yvonne Nelson and his former classmate Larry Thorn were shot and killed in Memphis. [More]

All these supposed “young Turks” and not an original idea among them…

I’ve been embedded in the issue for longer than some of these people have been alive and have not personally known a single person so affected, making me wonder if it’s more a culture thing than a gun thing.

Noting that Pearson is “a recent gun owner himself” and is still pushing citizen disarmament kind of emphasizes why I maintain new gun buyers is not necessarily cause for the victory celebration so many “gunfluencers” treat it like.

I also note this propaganda piece is filed under “News” and not “opinion,” something to keep in mind when The Guardian pop-up begging for donations appears.

Democrats’ Attack on Civilian Marksmanship Expansion Plays on Fears with Lies

Left Wingers in Congress Equate Marksmanship Training with Gang Banging [More]

Just like the scorpion in the fable that couldn’t stop killing, they can’t stop lying. It’s in their nature.

(And yes, I know I said I’d not be posting here ’til Monday, but my articles need to be publicized as soon as I can do it.)

The Prevent Illegal Gun Resales Act would add common sense structural reform to the gun sale industry by boosting license application requirements for gun retailers, proportionally increasing the cost of licensing fees, and adding a new definition for “high-risk dealers” that would include sellers who:

Had a known violation or warning in the past three years; Had firearms either lost or stolen from them within the preceding year; or, Were the source of two or more guns with a time-to-crime of three years or less. [More]

In other words, close them all down.

Yes, Bob, exactly like Democrats.

Yes, this is political posturing for the media, and no, it won’t pass — yet — but it’s instructive to see what the plans are for when previous impediments are removed through “compromise.”

The only reason to let the enemy get closer to the target is to draw him into a trap.
