Seems people who want unlawful hearing protection are bigger criminals than 2nd degree murderers: Basically, the conclusion is that most silencer prosecutions are for simple possession; when charges involve possession in connection with crime, it’s usually a drug offense.

That’s not to say he wasn’t already pro-gun but now he’s becoming more active in gun rights. I received an email earlier this week from Jay who was looking for info regarding gun ownership. Turns out, Jay plead to a non-violent crime in New Jersey in the 1990s. So, he was uncertain if he could […]

In Virginia, there was some sort of protest. Said protesters were pushing for a law that would not have stopped the VT massacre in the name of the victims of the VT massacre. Seems the pro-gun side outnumbered the bad guys 3 to 1. And why are anti-gunners so violent? We had one member assalted […]

I pre-emptively call myself a racist so you don’t have to. Neener neener. One of the things rarely discussed (because it’s just not PC) is violent crime and race. It’s OK this time, because a black guy’s doing it: Last year, among the nation’s 10 largest cities, Philadelphia had the highest murder rate with 406 […]

Seen at DAMIT’s: This is such a divisive issue. I’m a little surprised that the third option didn’t get more votes. It seems that gun control is SO divisive, people can’t be rational about it. Seems to me that according to recent surveys and your own poll (with only 3% calling for gun control) that […]

Hard to see with the naked eye Yup, that’s me alright: The NRA and its friends in the “militia movement” are into the same stock-in-trade: Fear. Their target audience: Those people, generally disenfranchised white males with at most a high-school education and middling to piddling income, who suspect they’re being screwed but either have no […]

Dan K. Thomasson, in a piece long on stupid, says: The nation’s police chiefs have a serious problem.

Kevin sets me straight: Turn in your Southern Boy card. An ass-whippin’ is what your momma gave you for misbehavin’, followed by another when your daddy got home. An ass-whuppin’ is what you get in a fight if you come out the loser.

First, asking people to contact the ATF to report gun crimes being committed by Michael Bloomberg was genius. Now, it seems LaPierre is all Bloomberg all the time: Bloomberg and Menino have been trying to blame violent crime in their own vicious cities on the gun laws of Vermont.

The far left is not happy with Orson Scott Card. Like others I posted a link to the October 29th 2006 column Mr. Card wrote titiled, “The Only Issue This Election Day”. I thought and still do that it is a well written thoughtful message that should be heard. This column was not received well […]

Aunt B. says this gun nut ruined crappy TeeVee for her: So, there I am watching Cold Case, which is one of those shows that one watches only so that one can properly enjoy the MadTV send-up of it, when all of a sudden it dawns on me that this particular episode is strangely biased […]

I’m not sure what defines “bad” in this brave new world we live in, but the question has importance to me. Do you consider yourself a good person or a bad person? Don’t answer yet! Otherwise I may have to hurt you. I was reading an article about concealed carry in South Carolina and one […]

In this post, addressing Tim’s pacifism, Xrlq says in comments: I’m not sure what’s so non-violent about relying on a home security system. Doesn’t that thing call the police so they can come after the intruders with guns? Leaving one’s violence to the cops isn’t pacifism, it’s outsourcing. Heh. I guess if you call the […]

In the past, I often wondered why America had a high murder rate compared to other Westernized nations.
