If it’s medicine, why aren’t patients allowed to own firearms? There’s been a paradigm shift in the way America treats marijuana over the last 10 years. Right now, 38 states permit its use for medical purposes … and those medical purposes do seem to be legitimate, including stimulating appetite for cancer patients and relieving intractable…
Ever heard of the “Gun Violence Archive”? Sure you have … Every time you’ve read an above-the-fold, mainstream-news story about crimes committed using guns, the “gun violence archive” is the source they’re quoting. (Why yes, that’s the one that refers to 19-year-old gang members as “children,” if you were wondering.) Basically, if you can think…
Ever read Dickens’ Great Expectations? In the classic novel, one of the central plot devices is a lawsuit called Jarndyce v Jarndyce, a contested inheritance case winding its way through the courts for several generations. The suit is only resolved when the entire fortune in question has been absorbed by the legal costs. Dickens–and everyone…
You’d think the gun-grabbers would be ashamed to say these things … but if they had any shame, they wouldn’t be gun-grabbers, would they? A new “study” by Everytown for Gun Safety which claims that 298,000 lives could be saved if all states adopted strict gun control policies like California is “misleading at best,” the…
Breaking: NRA‘s longstanding CEO has resigned on the eve of a trial for corruption and graft. Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s long-time leader, announced his resignation from the powerhouse organization yesterday afternoon in what those of us in the business call a “Friday-afternoon news dump.” The idea is to try and bury the news over the…
Every murder requires an autopsy. Eighteen murders require outrage … and the autopsy tells you why. The 18 victims of the Lewiston, Maine massacre deserved better than they got. They deserved to live, of course. And in death, they deserved to be treated with solemnity and care, not like pawns in someone else’s war. The…
Could someone please turn on Newsom’s heat lamp and feed him some crickets? (Image courtesy NSSF; snotty caption courtesy me.) The best way to describe the DeSantis vs. Newsom debate is in German loanwords. German does a lot more than making you sound like you’re getting over a nasty bronchitis. It also offers words that…
“Reality cannot be ignored except at a price; and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid.”― Aldous Huxley Right now, the citizens of Seattle have a truly nasty overdue bill awash in red ink drawn from their own veins. That bill is the…
Nobody loves them, everybody hates them, they want us to eat worms! Isn’t it nice when the world’s elites get together and come up with ways that we, the Little People, can make them feel good about themselves? I’ve always pictured that the actual deal-making happens in smoke-filled back rooms … and the smoke in…
We all know that it’s actually fairly simple to manipulate poll data if you want to … … and nobody loves to manipulate polls (often two-handed!) like anti-gunners. But sometimes, a poll comes along with questions so simple and straightforward–and answers so unambiguous–that even someone as expert as David Hogg at massaging polls can’t get…
Today, we have a very special guest post from the National Shooting Sports Foundation‘s Mark Oliva. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HONOR VETERANS WITH A LIFESAVING BUDDY CHECK By Mark Oliva Veterans Day is a solemn occasion for many. It is a time when we, as a nation, honor those who wore…
The Brady Campaign is getting a gritty Hollywood reboot. (In other news, the Brady Campaign still exists! Who knew?) Readers could be forgiven for forgetting that Brady United for Gun Control is still operating; after all, they’ve recently been overshadowed by the antics of March for Our Lives, Everytown for Gun Safety, Kathy Hochul, Queen…
