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.

Brain Teaser

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?

Actually, one of the Constitutional purposes of the Militia was “to … repel Invasions.”

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.”

War of Words

In his 1965 essay “Repressive Tolerance,” Herbert Marcuse brazenly proclaimed the left’s plan to twist the language and the concept of objective standards for free speech beyond all recognition. Bluntly, in the hands of Marcuse and his fellow leftists, “day is night as dark is light and wrong is right,” and tolerance is perverted into intolerance. [More]

‘It Was a Fatal Right-Wing Terrorist Incident’: AI Chatbot Giants Claim Charlie Kirk’s Killer Was Right-Wing but Say Left-Wing Violence Is ‘Exceptionally Rare’ [More]

You can’t trust chatbots? Who knew?

Then again, who and what can you trust when released information is curated by “authorities,” and conspiracy theories abound? As I responded to a tip about a video analysis “proving” the FBI is lying, that it was a headshot fired by a sniper hiding behind a plant that entered from behind and exited the neck, as opposed to the guy in front with the pistol:

Yeah, there is so much stuff out there, impossible to validate, from it was the Mossad to he’s still alive to Erika arranged it so she could take over…

There’s only one thing I know for sure, and it applies to just about everything we’re fed by government and media:

Sing it, Kaa.

Blast from the Past

Came across this old post over the weekend:

David Codrea is a conservative blogger who believes that the records on gun ownership by Democrats should be made public. [More]

No I don’t and I never said that. My position, made pretty damn clear over the years, is I don’t believe there ought to be such records because no one has legitimate Constitutional authority to require them.

I asked for records about the Hunter Biden criminal investigation:

“[C]opies of law enforcement and administrative reports, communications,  correspondence,  and work papers,  including with internal State of  Delaware DOJ, the  Delaware  State  Police, any local law enforcement and any relevant federal agencies including ATF and the United States Secret Service. This includes any case handling instructions from overseeing administrative authorities and/or agencies that would explain why over two years later, there has still been no public report or explanation as to the way the case has been resolved and why.”

Who is this f-ing lying idiot?

“Think Tank,” right. Reminds me of “Mothers Who Think.”
