Murder and violent crime declined in 2018. As did property crime.

Assault weapons bans and buybacks do not work: A Justice Department report examining the impact of the ban was underwhelming at best. Should it be renewed, the bans effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement, the report states. And: Again, analysis regarding the AR-15 […]

That’s why that story went away so fast: Prosecutor: Antioch church shooters goal was to kill a minimum of 10 white churchgoers

An Iranian, vegan, body building woman went on a shooting spree at YouTube because they were filtering her videos. Obviously, it’s the NRA’s fault. Shut up, Johnny Blue Jeans.

The press is on board with a coordinated anti-gun campaign.

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Black Residents Armed With Assault Rifles Stand Guard Outside White-Owned Business During Ferguson Riots

So, a black man kills a woman, who I presume is white because no big deal is being made about her race. An attempted mass murder was thwarted by a man on the scene carrying a gun. And a Muslim beheaded a white woman in OK. OK, you caught me. They’re all the same story. […]

Whenever there’s a mass shooting, the media gets its panties in a twist and tries to tie it to the tea party or Sarah Palin. But when it’s a Democrat with ties to the KKK, such mention only goes in paragraph 11. Media Matters was quick to blame it on “right wingers“. And that’s stupid. […]

More guns, less crime. Record gun ownership and the murder rate halved.

Wal Mart shooter chose victims by race. Obviously, a racist tea bagger . . . oh, wait.

NPR: The U.S. Has More Guns, But Russia Has More Murders

Tam on the play by play of what the press and anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) think. Of course, our local news has been going on about the case and stand your ground laws, which have nothing to do with eachother.

I thought the police supported all this gun control! But, no, they don’t.

Well, this certainly wouldn’t fit the narrative: Why Hasn’t The Media Been Reporting On Or Booking Pro-Gun Newtown Parent Mark Mattioli?

If you compare apples to apples instead of apples to anacondas, the murder rate in the UK according to US standards is double or higher than their reported rate

Consumer Reports: Gun accidents down, but other home accidents on the rise

Violent attacks that were blamed on the Tea Party but they had nothing to with.

It’s starting to piss people off.

Turns out Zimmerman was raised in a bi-racial family and he’s black. Well, slightly less black than Obama. With racial divisions being less black and white (heh), I wonder how the press will deal.

Three things people don’t know about the Trayvon Martin case (but think they do)

There are many lies most people believe about the Martin shooting. That Zimmerman was ordered not to follow, which is false. Or that Zimmerman was not arrested, also false. After a defensive shooting, it may be a good idea to hire a PR firm: We’ve seen two cases recently, Gerald Ung and now George Zimmerman, […]

NBC news edits Zimmerman 911 call. Just like MSNBC did. Despite the narrative, Americans still keen on stand your ground laws. Probably because they lead to increases in justifiable homicide.

That ‘far-right’ gunman shooting Jewish people in France has suddenly turned into sudden Jihad syndrome. Also, it’s reported he used a World War II 11.43 gun. Any ideas?

It doesn’t fit the narrative: Occupy Raleigh protester guns down domestic partner and wounds two bystanders before committing suicide; media covers up OWS association

Democrats go silent on Fast and Furious.

Yeah, pretty much.

Ooh, pick me, I know this one. Because only racist, right-wing tea-baggers are violent, silly.

Bitter: who in their right mind would want to show their supporters & donors that the media cycle has become exclusively about the NRA while their own political agenda of gun & magazine bans is being outright ignored in the debate with the White House? Well, they’re grasping for relevance.
