Hillary at the debate on guns

She asserted that a the Heller case was about toddlers. No. The Heller case was about whether a policeman could own a gun and keep it at home for his self defense. And she opposed that case. That says it all.

Meanwhile, her dutiful lackeys at politifact have come out with a defense of her asinine statement. And you really have to twist yourself in knots to buy that logic.

The dumbest, non-controversy I’ve ever seen

I’m no fan of Trump. I didn’t vote for him. But the pearl-clutching over him saying he’s not sure if he’ll accept the election results is a non-starter. His answer is what anyone would say since, as of now, we don’t know how the election will end with certainty. If there are challenges, delays or anything else to the results, he’d be right not to concede immediately until those were resolved.

I mean, if there’s one thing we learned from Al Gore, it’s that you don’t want to concede and then play takesies-backsies. Of course, Hillary still thinks Al Gore won.

What’s in a headline?

George Zimmerman Road-Rage Incident Ends in 20-Year Sentence. Sounds provocative and no doubt some mouth-breathers got a little excited at seeing Zimmerman convicted. But he wasn’t. Turns out, someone tried to kill him.

And New York police officer fatally shoots 66-year-old woman. Because Police shoot person swinging a ball bat isn’t narrative enough.

Well that would solve one problem

A front sight for your AR-15 that you can mount a light to. I’ve seen the versions that put a rail on the side. But this wouldn’t add any width to the rifle.

Speaking of “planning accordingly”

A gun shop has a pre-Hillary sale on guns, noting prices will go up once she’s elected. Heh.

I should probably buy some ammo today.

Sandy Hook Parent’s lawsuit against Remington dismissed

As it should be:

A Connecticut judge has dismissed a lawsuit that families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims had filed against a gun manufacturer.

In her decision granting the company’s motion to strike the case, Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis invoked a federal statute known as PLCAA, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

The law prohibits lawsuits against gun manufacturers and distributors if their firearms were used in the commission of a criminal act.

The families had sought an exemption through a claim of “negligent entrustment,” arguing the maker knowingly marketed and sold the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle to civilians despite knowing it posed a risk when used outside “highly regulated institutions” such as law enforcement or the military. Remington is the parent company of Bushmaster.

Bellis said the “criminal misuse of a weapon” by Adam Lanza means the action “falls squarely within the broad immunity provided by PLCAA,” adding that the arguments presented by the families do not fit within the definition of negligent entrustment.

Honestly, to prevent such frivolous suits being brought by shady lawyers, Remington should sue for damages.

Hillary’s emails on gun control

She said she wants to close the nonexistent gun show loophole via executive order.

Plan accordingly

Kevin is embracing the suck. Can’t say I blame him.

I said of the primary the press was building Trump up because he’d be easy to take down in the general. Well, looks like it.

An email to Podesta: And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly.

Democrats want ATF information on gun violence

The Hill:

House Democrats are calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to update a report it last published nearly two decades ago about gun violence to help inform public policy on the issue.

The request, in the form of a letter to ATF Director Thomas Brandon, comes after Democrats staged a sit-in on the House floor this summer to bring attention to what they see as congressional inaction in response to mass shootings.

The ATF last published a report titled Following the Gun, which reviewed how criminals obtain firearms, in 2000. The lawmakers said that a new report with more recent statistics would provide the public with more understanding of how gun violence occurs in America.

They cite the reason is the bill that bans using federal money to promote gun control. I rather thought that bill was aimed at the CDC because of their sketchy gun control studies that always ended with “we need more money for more research”.

It’s a start

California law now provides that prosecutorial misconduct, including hiding evidence, is now a felony.

When there’s a terror attack . . .

Don’t let anyone know if it was Muslims. At least, that’s what the EU is telling the British press:

MEDDLING Brussels has said the British press should not report when terrorists are Muslims in a slew of demands to the Government to crack down on the media.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
