Using data from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s alleged “study”, one concludes Brady Campaign admits that Assault weapons are rarely used in violent crime: Also notable, they don’t mention any numbers from when the “ban” was in effect with which to draw comparisons.

Author faces ten years in prison for non violent firearms violations: Prolific writer Peter Manso, author of, among other books, biographies of Norman Mailer and Marlon Brando, has been indicted on a dozen firearms charges by a Massachusetts grand jury and faces years in prison. Did he brandish a gun in public? Threaten a neighbor […]

Instead of passing all these gun controls, try aggressively prosecuting those that commit violent crimes with guns. Seems to work: By 2007, Richmond had dropped off the list of the top 25 most dangerous cities. This in a state with some of the most liberal gun ownership laws in the country.

Seems that Paul Helmke, Keith Olbermann, and Kevin Drum are all butthurt because the NRA (which actually has members, resources, and stuff) engaged in a bit of deception. Now, what is funny is that I’ve seen no evidence that Mary was actually working for NRA. But we’ll see. PGP is equally nonplussed about the whole […]

In addition to being violently angry, this person cannot read. Of course, if I looked like this, I’d probably be angry too. Update: I wonder how this gal(?) will react when tomorrow the Brady Campaign releases a presser that dances in the blood of the dead? Think we’ll see the same righteous indignation (and fabulous […]

So, a guy who is an illegal alien; member of a violent street gang; violent felon; firearms violations; and frequent member of the catch and release program kills some one. And it’s the gun’s fault.

We won! Now what? Well, challenges are already filed in Chicago and here’s the Chicago Gun Case Website: Following Thursday’s (5-4) ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual civil right to keep and bear arms, and that a municipal gun […]

Madrocketscientist in comments at a post here: I never knew that “Economically depressed, politically disenfranchised social subgroup” began with an N?

AC linked to my post about big boy pants. Didn’t take long for the accusations of me being RACIST!!! in comments: This applies more to class than race, although this is a back-door attempt to scream the N-word. And that, ladies and gentlemen (whichever one chooses to wear the pants), is why we can’t talk […]

This was emailed to me by reader JKB: ======================================== I’ve been taking a look at this Syracuse University Clearinghouse on federal law enforcement data (http://trac.syr.edu/). I got to the clearinghouse via this post at instapundit. The ATF data is interesting. Seems the ATF enforcement is more active in rural areas than in the big cities. […]

So, a woman takes her kid to his uncle’s house. Kid is unsupervised. Uncle leaves gun unattended. Kid finds gun and you know how that goes. After the incident, the Uncle takes the gun and runs. Turns out, he is a violent felon convicted of murder. Naturally, this is all the gun’s fault.

Oh, yeah, we spent it all on an armored personnel carrier for Dellview, North Carolina. The WaPo: Violent crime has increased in some cities in recent years in part because local police are too cash-strapped to fight it, the ATF chief said Monday. The comments by Michael J. Sullivan, acting director of the Bureau of […]

Via Wachel (who also fisked her own post) and Phelps, comes a fun game: Suppose you were elected Temporary Supreme Dictator of America. What are 10 laws you would pass/repeal or government programs you would create/tear down? (Assume that you are in office for however long it would take to do these things and that […]

A demographic that is 2.96% of the population accounts for 49.6% of victims. Also, they have a higher rate of being the shooter. And more here. But we can’t talk about this like grown-ups lest we offend the delicate sensibilities of someone. Clearly, guns must be to blame instead.

I like to keep tabs on them so: Tio Hardiman, director of mediation services for CeaseFire, said the group, which is operating on a skeleton staff after it lost more than $6 million in state funding, will attempt to train residents to peacefully resolve potentially violent conflicts, and will ask adult men in high-risk neighborhoods […]

From a presser: Tennessee Firearms Association, Inc. Legislative Action Committee Tennessee’s Speaker of the House is a perversion of “The right of the people to keep and bear arms” By David Borum A couple of week ago Jimmy Naifeh demonstrated his belief is above all the elected officials in the Tennessee House of Representatives. He […]

I often refer to Aunt B. as my token feminist. Part of the reason is that, unlike other feminists, she’s not a fucking retard. Via Tam, comes this bit wherein some fucking retard gets a case of the vapors over the photography of Oleg Volk. Of course, this retard seems to think that Oleg Volk […]

Pro Gun Progressive was on Al Jazeera debating Rebecca Peters, direct of International Action Network on Small Arms. He has a report here. Video of the debate is here and part 2 is here. Rebecca Peters is not the sharpest tool in the shed and, basically, reiterated various falsehoods (like the US is the most […]

He’s out of the race so I no longer have to use 1337! Per the Politico: Recently we’ve been told that this increase in the already intolerable invasion of our privacy was justified because the purpose was to apprehend terrorists. We were told that the massive amounts of information being collected on Americans would only […]

Greedo, a tragic victim of gun violence: In 1977, this assault weapon found its way into the hit movie Star Wars. This was a propaganda coup for the Gun Blobby, indoctrinating a whole generation of children into desiring these deadly weapons. In this absurd and violent story, the fictional character Han Solo savagely murdered Greedo, […]

From the NRA: More Gun Laws, More Violent Crime In January, the Brady Campaign released its annual “State Report Cards,” scoring the states according to their gun laws. Once again, the Brady rankings clearly demonstrate that states that have the most gun control tend to have the most violent crime. And some numbers: * California, […]

Why, it seems like just yesterday the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership was telling me which states had less violent crime. And now, they’re doing it again. They just do it backwards: Since 2001, RTC states, where more people carry guns in public, consistently average a “D”. Brady continues to be unhappy with the […]

So, there was that protest in Virginia I mentioned yesterday. The pro-gun side outnumbered the anti-gun side substantially. And at least one person on the anti-gun side became violent. How does the press report it? Like this: Va. Tech families urge gun control Instead of gun rights activists oppose gun bill. People on both sides […]

The fight begins March 18. Also, Gura on the DOJ’s position: The Department’s fears about the implications of securing a meaningful Second Amendment right are overblown and not grounded in fact or law. Look for our response to their brief, and the others, on February 4. Even the Wall Street Journal jumps in: The amicus […]

In Michigan: Six years after new rules made it much easier to get a license to carry concealed weapons, the number of Michiganders legally packing heat has increased more than six-fold. But dire predictions about increased violence and bloodshed [repeated at length by the press – ed] have largely gone unfulfilled, according to law enforcement […]

Speaking of felonies, Adam Groves says: A new law effective Jan 1 will make criminals who use guns in the commission of a crime serve mandatory jail time without parole. According to the legislation, on Jan. 1 anyone employing a firearm during the commission of a felony will face a charge punishable by “the service […]

So, we’ve gone a round or two here on that issue. My basic position is that if you can’t be trusted with a gun, you also can’t be trusted with pointy things and cars; and should likely still be in prison. That said, a felon in NY is addressing that issue: With the U.S. Supreme […]

Reader Tommy emails his senators’ letters on the confirmation. More of the same. They are below the fold.

Paul Helmke is issuing bogus challenges to candidates: I challenge them to stand up and support meaningful action to reduce gun violence in America. So do I! Put violent criminals in jail and keep them there. Gun control only impacts the law-abiding. I challenge them to work for a strong and permanent ban on military-style […]

Nutjob, gun-free mall, rifle. Same as last one, only it’s a crazy white guy instead of a crazy olive-skinned guy. Soon, the press will again be in All AK-47 All The Time mode. I was going to write about it but everyone else already did: PGP: Is violent death from lax gun laws around every […]
