BJ Campbell: There is no clear correlation whatsoever between gun ownership rate and gun homicide rate. Not within the USA. Not regionally. Not internationally. Not among peaceful societies. Not among violent ones. Gun ownership doesnt make us safer. It doesnt make us less safe. The correlation simply isnt there. It is blatantly not-there. It is […]

Cam Edwards: Have you noticed the cognitive dissonance that many supporters of common-sense gun control have been exhibiting as of late?

Whenever there is violent extremism, it’s committed by sudden Jihad syndrome or democrats. But the DOJ has decided to spend money looking at far right wing social media use to combat violence.

Contra Costa Times: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the arguments of groups such as the National Rifle Association, which contended the restrictions are unconstitutional and undermine gun owners’ right to protect their homes with ample firepower. “Sunnyvale’s interests in promoting public safety and reducing violent crime were substantial and important government interests,” […]

Oleg: Going after coreligionists of the offenders would make no more sense than bombing the Vatican in response to an IRA attack. There’s more but that caught my eye. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day we see a group of some other religion decide to get go on revenge killings in response to terror. […]

A case in Missouri: A convicted drug felon believes a constitutional amendment approved by voters in August means he can have a gun — but it will be up to the Missouri Supreme Court to decide if he’s right.

Yet — twice — prosecutors dropped […]

I used to watch NFL football. Then, after tale after tale of players getting arrested and it became the National Felon League, I sorta stopped and half-assed paid attention to it. I mean, I’d watch the Denver Mannings (previously the Indianapolis Mannings) but otherwise, I only watched it if it happened to be on where […]

WTF is this? OURBUDGET? C&P and screen cap for memory hole:

A bit back, Jim Carrey was busy soiling his panties because a movie he was in (Kick Ass 2) had guns and was violent and stuff? Well, a child actor is smarter than Carrey: “It’s a movie,” Moretz recently told a reporter. “If you are going to believe and be affected by an action film, […]

The Ohio National Guard did a training exercise that featured second amendment and anti-government types as terrorists. It amuses me some. But if we anti-government, pro second amendment types were as violent as democrats, the government, and the media (but I repeat myself) said we were, a lot of American cities would resemble downtown Fallujah […]

In a scary trend, that militarized raid I mentioned yesterday was done because an occupant of the home had a carry permit: Finally, think of the implications if this were the policy everywhere. It would mean that if you’re a gun owner, the police could cite that fact in and of itself as justification for […]

Kennedy, of The Independents, on a man spending life in prison: You have murderers and rapists who have come and gone in the time that jeff has been sitting there for a non-violent pot offense. Also, I notice she’s using some gun blog terms like “magical thinking” and “rainbow farting unicorns”.

Just mentioned how anti-gun people were desperate and went to Europe to ask their gun makers to support policies that negatively affect their sales. Yeah, I know, right?

I really liked Anthony Bourdain’s little gun missive here, namely this part: I may be a New York lefty—with all the experiences, prejudices and attitudes that one would expect to come along with that, but I do NOT believe that we will reduce gun violence—or reach any kind of consensus—by shrieking at each other. Gun […]

So says one Francis Wilkinson, who is trying to point out that gun magazines and the gun industry are racist. Seems she counted the people in gun advertisements in magazines, determined if they were white or black or hispanic or asian and so forth and tallied it up. No word on white hispanics. I’m no […]

What could possibly go wrong? So, he doesn’t want you and I to have guns but giving guns to potentially violent extremists is OK. I wonder if he’ll do background checks?

I buy a lot of landscaping. And my latest purchases featured these: Note the tag that says “killer tree”. I asked the sales guy what that meant. Seems these plants come from Oregon and they have a hippie problem where in the tree-huggers go in and plant spikes in trees hoping to hurt someone who […]
