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.

Oh, Look: A Professional Liar

Arming teachers does nothing to protect our children from gun violence. Data shows these reactive initiatives are ineffective, make students and staff feel less safe, and only bring new risks into schools. Despite this, a staggering 15 states have laws on the books that explicitly authorize arming teachers. [More]

And which schools where teachers are armed have experienced mass shootings or any of the dire consequences being warned against?

This is just like when concealed carry was starting to become a thing, and we heard hysterical bleating against Dodge City/Wild West/Blood in the streets over fender benders that never materialized.

These un-American liars would rather see you and yours savagely murdered than armed, and would prefer it if your assailant used a gun so they can dance in the blood and demand more defenselessness.

Concealed Carry Killers Redux

Legally armed civilians, we’re told, pose a major danger. They shoot innocent bystanders, justifiably kill others whenever they personally believe “force is reasonably necessary,” and rely on racist self-defense laws. [More]

One question: Why do they refer to violence monopoly propaganda apparatchik Mark Maremont as a “reporter”?

And as per the playbook of resurrecting old scare tactics that didn’t work the first time, such bleating isn’t even original.

I just got a subscription solicitation in the mail from WSJ. They get the same reply FOP did.

Debunking Bunkum

Who says I want to escape? [More]

Seems society’s a lot safer than we think, and self-defense is statistically insignificant. You believe that when told by people who’ve been lying and trying to grab your guns for decades, right?

If true, not only should the police disarm (sorry, forgot about those superior “Only Ones” abilities), but their Train Smart program is admittedly putting attendees at risk they knew or should have known they were endangering, and maybe someone who took it and then blows a DGU can sue them.

Speaking of DGUs, even if you accept their calculated low-balling of numbers, 69,000 still exceeds “gun deaths.” Oops.

Funny thing: This “research” isn’t signed. I was hoping the authors could demonstrate some of their claims. I’d volunteer to help.

CONCLUSION: They’d rather see us dead than armed.

EXCLUSIVE: Gun Industry Uses Standard Sales Techniques for Legal Products!!!

The tactics he described are familiar in the world of online commerce, from food orders to clothes. But the presentation betrayed no consideration of the consequences that may arise if the tactics are applied in a widespread way to the selling of firearms and ammunition. [More]

Oh no! Rolling Stone and The Trace don’t like us!

Like they don’t both use advanced marketing tactics to spread their poison.

Bear Maximum

Update to “Bear Minimums“:

“Teachers successfully repelled the bear using pepper spray and a bear banger.”… Tamara Davidson, British Columbia’s minister of environment and parks, called the teachers who fought off the bear “true heroes,” adding that they were well-prepared…” [More]

Do government flacks know how to do anything but gaslight to keep the obvious from being questioned? If the teachers had been successful and well-prepared there wouldn’t be 11 mauling victims fighting for their lives.

Just in Time for Veteran’s Day

Why a federal concealed carry gun bill must be stopped… Anthony Swofford is the author of “Jarhead: A Marine’s Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles.” He served in a Marine Corps scout sniper platoon during the Persian Gulf War and is special faculty in the Department of English at Carnegie Mellon University. [More]

Once again we see the false authority logical fallacy, as if his military experience qualifies him to second-guess the Founders. 

Tell us you don’t understand the oath you took without telling us you don’t understand the oath you took. Being a “war hero” doesn’t override that.

Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

Blast waves may be damaging shooters’ brains. The Times has a new investigation on how it happens. [More]

And any who believe this is anything more than another attack by the newsraper of record against guns needs to have their heads examined.

But watch the narrative get parroted and spread.

If We Can’t Believe Authorized Journalists, Who Can We Believe?

Trump administration altering program that was a lifeline for pioneering non-profits helping reduce gun violence [More]

They say that like it’s true and like this is news as opposed to propaganda. A look at the “reporter’s” beat and agenda tells us all we need to know.

But look at this: Asking for reader support from “progressives” apparently works.

Can the same be said about gun owners?

Finishing Sentences

Trump’s death penalty push gains traction in statehouses [More]

Because in addition to ignoring Constitutional checks and balances at the federal level, the president also dictates what state legislatures and governors enact…?

Democrats and legal experts say some of these efforts are unconstitutional. But Republicans…

…have no legal experts of their own to validate their position…?

Jeez, if we didn’t know better, we might think the Death Penalty Information Center is an information center, rather than apparatchiks with an agenda, where “Reports reflect an anti-death penalty stance, highlighting the negative aspects of capital punishment, supported by, among others, George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, and with a “board [that] includes the director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and several defense attorneys.”

You know, the kind that let ’em out.

As for “racial disparities,” who’s committing the murders, and what does that say about the way Democrat policies guarantee disparities in personal conduct and accountability expectations?

Funny, “real reporter” Surina Venkat doesn’t mention she’s a “progressive”, and “conservative Fox News” just plugs in a propaganda piece from the left-leaning The Hill and calls it “news.”
