A report says he wore earplugs and changed magazines several times. Also: a shotgun, capable of firing 20 rounds, Hmm. Not sure what that means. The article also places emphasis on violent video games.

In CT, a group is offering a buyback for violent video games. So they can burn them. WTF is wrong with people?

So, some pantswetter thinks that the NRA funnels guns into movies to get people to buy guns. With the help of Hollywood. And their National Museum. Tom Diaz is a lunatic

On their social media sites. And not making any press appearances. I’m guessing that, unlike they’re political opponents, it’s out of respect for the dead. But I don’t know that it’s good marketing. Of course, it could be because they’re in fear for their lives.

Our governor says that exclusion may get the bill to pass and he will fight to keep schools out of the final bill. And, you know, no violent crimes from which you may need to defend yourself are ever committed on campuses. Right? Via David, with the irony.

Gun related violent crime drops while gun sales soar.

Well, the trouble would be who decides what ideas are dangerous: Private organizations such as the SPLC and government agencies such as the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security already monitor the online activities of violent extremists.

From Alan, top 20 most played songs on the iPod this month: Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked – Cage the Elephant (probably because it starts with an A and leads a few play lists) Dead Inside – Trapped Under Ice Jolene – Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da – The Beatles Turning […]

From the anti-hunting lunatics. Geez, them and anti-gun people.

Law student shows what can happen if you know your rights during a police stop for not breaking the law. 10 years for recording a cop. The cop fibbed on his report. Gang member carjacks someone with a gun. Is released from jail same day because he’s not violent.

FBI releases crime data and crime is down. And this while gun sales are up.

So, you can take on a major union and win. Good. Turns out, people favor job growth, balanced budgets and not paying for other peoples’ stuff. Who knew? Lots of whining that democracy is dead since more people voted the way democrats don’t like. This is why they are the Democrat party and not the […]

In New Orleans, more people getting guns due to recent increase in violent crime.

Richard Feldman has started himself a new pro gun group called the Independent Firearm Owners Association. Over at the Daily Kos, he says one issue is the drug war and let’s legalize weed: In our zeal to put violent criminals out of business we’ve corrupted our law enforcement community with lure of asset forfeitures, giving […]

Ted is getting the secret service treatment (not the one with hookers) over his rhetoric in which he said, clearly figuratively, chop their heads off in November. And did he threaten the president? No. His rhetoric is definitely over the top. His over the top rhetoric probably brings people into the movement. Adam Winkler says […]

House democrats leave to protest pro gun bills. And Ravenwood’s law is to blame. As to the bills: One bill would alter the state constitution to specifically include gun rights. Another would rewrite the law on “reasonable force” so that a person may use force — including deadly force — against someone who they believe […]

Some good news. A Forbes piece goes after the gun control lobby with truth. You rarely see dismissal of the anti-gun case out right in the press. But here it is: As much as gun control advocates might wish otherwise, their attacks are running out of ammo. With private firearm ownership at an all-time high […]

DC circuit examines machine guns used in violent crimes. There is a 30 year minimum sentence for using a machine gun in a crime. So, the question is does it matter if the robber knew it was a machine gun. What is interesting to me, though, is that there is a 30 year minimum sentence […]

Seen at Joe’s: Entirely too much energy of our state police force is spent controlling honest citizens, simply because it is something they can succeed in doing. Of course. You see, it’s easier to control them because they are honest. Going after violent criminals is hard. They shoot back. Some advocate practicing on the people […]

Just stupid people: Did the robber intend to shoot someone to kill? It doesn’t matter. If someone is pointing a gun at you, you don’t wait around trying to determine their intent.

Gun sales spiked again in 2011. The FBI released it’s preliminary crime reports and crime is down overall, even violent crime. Yeah, correlation and all, I know. But the anti-gunners would have us believe that guns cause crime so more guns would mean more crime, right?

In Cali, the DOJ has rid the world of terrorism and violent crime and will now crack down on the scourge of sick people smoking weed.

A bunch of people who have no concept of how the world really works are having an event. Their, uhm, manifesto is entertaining reading. While I, in the abstract, wouldn’t mind pepper-spraying hippies, it’s actual application is unacceptable unless they’re being violent. We just joke about that and don’t actually do it. Now, the local […]

Knox mayor to ban sex offenders from the library. Catching some heat over it. He was on the news this morning talking about it and actually says ‘lieberry’. When asked if he had any evidence of attacks at libraries, he said there had been a few instances. No numbers nor specifics. Also interesting to me […]
