The CSM: With lack of incentives, few Americans are giving up their bump stocks Why would they? Of course, if the proposed federal ban on them, in which the bureaucracy is making up law from nothing, goes through, a lot more people will be ex post facto criminals. IIRC, after ATF arbitrarily decided to ban […]

Why gun experts dont support banning or buying bump stocks That’s from the Christian Science Monitor. They used to be one of the more anti-gun papers out there. Now, they seem pro gun. Why the change?

Mentioned this yesterday. But are police murders really on the rise?

Results in death: A young black Baltimore man named Freddie Gray ended up dead after being arrested for carrying a small, spring-assisted pocket knife. The Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into his death.

The CSM: Oklahoma City beheading: Will jihad-style attack boost ‘bring gun to work’ laws?

Tom Marino (R) of Pennsylvania, was arrested by Capitol Police after they say they discovered a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun during the routine search required for entry into congressional buildings. The police told Representative Marino’s office that the incident […]

Are moms the new culture war? Don’t get me wrong, moms are great. But do they really command political attention? Uhm, no.

Mental midget Kristen Rand, legislative director at the Violence Policy Center: Just because you’re a law-abiding citizen today doesn’t mean you’re going to be one tomorrow You’re right! Tomorrow, you might be on the street corner giving knob jobs for a few bucks. So, we should preemptively ban use of your mouth since you might […]

He’s seriously thinking about running. Well, we all figured. His wife hopes he doesn’t.

A woman who grew up in Georgia in the 1950s may have said the word “nigger” as recently as 30 years ago. Every body freak out and cue the race baiters. So, show of hands, who has never said the word “nigger”? All you with your hands up are probably lying. Those who admit it […]

So, those states that hurriedly passed anti-gun laws right after Newtown instead of having a nice big cup of cool your shit juice are maybe losing gun companies to Texas. Shocker.

To Obama’s dismay, America not outraged by gun control fail, poll suggests

Univision is going to run a piece on fast and furious. They’ve uncovered more fast and furious deaths too. More from David.

Do lax gun laws make us unsafe? No. Colorado has some of the toughest in the country post-Columbine. And a mass shooting still occurred. OMG more guns in America Why would anyone take the NYT seriously on guns? Gun sales up after mass shooting for fear of gun control. At least that one is true.

A look inside the carry culture that is mostly positive and highlights our victories. And it features the town of someone you may know.

Ron Paul leads in Iowa. I guess it’s his turn to be not-Romney. Kim Jong Il is dead. Natural causes. I was hoping for lined up against the wall and shot in the neck. But, hey, it’s something. And his son might be even more batty.

European nations seizing private pensions.

Illinois loses a seat. NY loses two. Looks like the census will benefit the GOP. MA and NJ lose seats too. Tennessee population grows 11.5%, but no new seats.

Is Obama’s choice for ATF chief an ‘antigun zealot’?

A recurring theme for the GOP is to drop all the gay cootie hating. So says the tea party: Tea party groups push GOP to quit culture wars, focus on deficit And at Politico, advice to avoid social issues headed up by gay conservatives.

The five bottlenecks to cleaning up the oil spill: 4/5 involve government stupidity.

CSM: Political extremism: Not so easy to categorize But three days ago: John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting? The latter was also wrong. It’s pointless to classify this stuff. The crazy happens to lefties, righties, and those who are politically indifferent. The recent outbreak of violence from the left is not indicative […]

Yammering because kids are wearing camouflage. Scary terms like dressed to kill. My kids don’t wear it because, well, we’re not a fan. But if they did, it’s not because they’re killers.

Patrik Jonsson: Did rifle-toting Obama protester help or hurt gun rights?

Cities’ gun restrictions begin to topple: Since last June, when the US Supreme Court struck down key parts of the District of Columbia’s gun-control ordinance, cities have seen the 20,000 local gun regulations enacted over the years begin to slip from their grip, one by one. Good. Via SIH, who notes past interactions with the […]

The CSM’s Patrik Jonsson looks at why Democrats are running away from gun control. To stay in power, of course. After all, gun control has not historically been a political winner.

The Christian Science Monitor is istorically anti-gun and not bashful lying about gun issues. There was that time they told us, for instance, that Obama’s views on guns lined up with yours and that time they lied about Florida’s gun laws and that time they advocated the gun industry create it’s own licensing and registration […]
