An utter lack of self-awareness

From the dumbest man in TV news:

We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.

In addition to being an extremely stupid statement, it’s also not true.

Regarding the NYT’s recent anti-gun screeds

A couple of replies:

NSSF to sue Google

They look to be initiating a class action lawsuit:

If your company was prevented from using Google AdWords/AdSense you are being invited to join a class action lawsuit that is now pending in federal court in San Jose, California.

To qualify, a person or company must have had its AdWords/AdSense account suspended or terminated by Google LLC between March 2014 and September 2017 based on the fact their websites advertised any products that (i) were designed to injure an opponent in sport, self-defense or combat such as knives, crossbows and guns or (ii) which comprised any part or component necessary to the function of a gun (iii) or which were intended for attachment to a gun in violation of Googles dangerous products or services policy.

In Florida

A group of prosecutors say that the stand your ground law, more correctly known as “no duty to retreat,” is unconstitutional because cases are tried in front of a judge and not a jury.

Guy shoots self with full auto Glock

Dunno why you’d put a vertical grip on a Glock but it’s what appears to have failed:

A good resource

Church Security Resource Compilation

Right on Cue

An article bashing the NRA from someone who doesn’t know much about it and repeats the lie that they are the lobby for gun manufacturers.

But it’s not as bad as NRA hates the jooooooooos.

Journalism

Opening of the article implies FedEx dropped the NRA due to a mass shooting. Then, paragraph 3:

The change of tack comes just days after a gunman killed 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue. The $56 billion logistics company says the closure of its NRA discount program from Nov. 4 has no connection to that incident or any other shooting. Rather, the NRA just didnt bring in enough business to merit its own deal. Its among dozens of organizations FedEx plans to move to new pricing programs, and the company has been notifying customers since early October.

NFA laws are dumb, part whatever

The ATF charged a man, who had a pistol brace on his rifle, for possessing a short barreled rifle. The man was following their ruling.

FBI’s active shooter data

John Lott:

Unfortunately, the problems with the reports have continued during the Trump administration. The latest FBI report, released in May, misses still more cases. The FBI claims that from 2014 to 2017 there were 90 active shooter cases and only seven where permit holders stopped these attacks.

In all, the FBI claims that concealed handgun permit holders have stopped 3.2 percent of active shooter incidents.

But the bureau misses at least 23 cases where permit holders saved the day. That means they stopped 11.5 percent of active shooter incidents from 2000 to 2017. We at the Crime Prevention Research Center are more confident that we have all of the cases from 2014 to 2017, when 16.5 percent of attacks were stopped.

Like you and me, only better

Laws are for little people:

A judge who was caught on video apparently dropping a handgun in a Chicago courthouse has been acquitted of carrying a concealed weapon in a prohibited area.

Stack On Safes south of the border

They closed their US plants and moved to Mexico:

A spokesman for Alpha Guardian, parent company of Stack-On, told the Chicago Tribune that the move is due to new tariffs imposed on raw materials imported from China.

Trump’s tariffs are not very good for certain businesses.

Of my two safes, one is a Stack On.

Purple Wave

Here in Tennessee, we’re having record midterm election turnout. The last midterm election, about 30K people voted on the first day of early voting. This year, about 120K did. For comparison, in 2016, about 140K turned out for day one. Do I think it’s a blue wave or a red wave? Yes. I think both sides are highly motivated to get out the vote. Tennessee is likely safely red. But in other states, I have no idea.

Funny

Obama compares Trump to a tin pot dictator. Yeah, the guy who targeted his political opponents with the IRS and who tried to shutter businesses he didn’t approve of by using the FDIC calls someone a tin pot dictator.

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