Guess he took noted gun expert Joe Biden’s advice

And used a shotgun in a mass shooting.

Yeah, we knew that

Mayors Against Guns webservers are being run by NYC government. Apparently, the press just noticed.

chutzpah

Gun criminal David Gregory asks Glenn Greenwald why he shouldn’t be arrested. In Gregory’s case, it was because he was connected.

NSA data used for blackmail?

If this is to be believed, it might explain the Obamacare decision.

I’m not sure how well such things work, honestly.

How scary is Rand Paul

So scary, that liberals are scared of his civil liberties record.

His destruction has already begun on liberal websites so I guess he’s a front runner.

Gun research ban

Toby lays out the problems with the bans on “gun research”, which isn’t gun research at all, typically. It’s a good read from two aspects, the first being science discussed by lawyers isn’t science. I can buy that. And the second take away that I got is that of confounding guns with diseases isn’t science either. He doesn’t say the latter but that’s what it is.

I’ll go ahead and save all you social scientists the trouble and state the really real about gun violence in the US: A lot of black males shoot a lot of other black males and occasionally shoot a white person. Mostly, the news only cares about that latter.

That said, banning studying research on gun violence is, to me, going too far. Sure, they pulled the funding to prove that a lot of “gun research” is bullshit and also to prove our lobbyists are better than theirs. But it doesn’t sit well from a PR standpoint. Mind you, the law came about based on a CDC study that concluded something to the effect of “we can’t find evidence that bans on some guns matter, so we need to study it more until it does”.

And that’s the problem with current science. Sure, they have methods (that are bullshit) but it’s sometimes about money. They need to study it more.

But this is key:

Anyhow, my money would be on a mixed set of outcomes that actually support some pro-gun positions, but also support anti-gun to a degree as well.

Absolutely. Most would support pro-gun positions which is why I’m not a fan of NRA’s lobbying on this, presuming that more anti-gunners did not get federal dollars but with the current administration, ha ha fucking ha. That’s exactly what would happen. As I’ve said before, NRA used a shotgun to kill gnat. But it’s pretty easy to expose that bullshit.

Good

Kahr moving from NY to PA?

Fork you

We must ban forks:

Lafayette police are investigating a stabbing near downtown, but it wasn’t done with a knife. Officers say three people are recovering after a man stabbed them with a fork Tuesday evening.

Good thing they didn’t have assault forks.

Maybe some people shouldn’t own guns

So, two idiots get in a fight over a gun and wind up shooting their 6 month old daughter. Both parents have criminal records.

Victims of gun violence

Bloomberg includes cop killers and terrorists as victims of gun violence.

Stupid things people say

You should be able to holster without looking. No. If you’re too busy to look and be safe, then throw the fucking gun away. You’re too busy.

But they tell me gun ownership is on the decline

First time buyers bolster the gun business.

Hackery

Glenn reminds us why the ban on federal funding for “gun research” exists.

Note to motorcyclists traveling in groups

What is a group of them called? A gang? A congress? I dunno.

Traveling in a group does not make your group one vehicle. The stop sign applies to each of you and I will go on my turn.

Or as well call them down south “blocks”

Glock Blocks

They took our jobs

Connecticut gun maker PTR leaving the state over gun laws

Well, that’s embarrassing

Bloomberg’s anti-gun group lists the Boston bomber as a victim of gun violence.

Smith & Wesson M&P survives tornado. The house didn’t.

Judging good gun blogs

By a gun blogger I’ve never heard of. Kidding aside, interesting take on who and what to read.

This just in: felons for gun control

Duane “Dog” Chapman is a gun owner but. The but is he hates bullets and wants gun control.

But it’s OK because he’s a convicted felon and can’t own guns anyway.
