Search Result for “gun control ”
PROVEN LIES AND WEAPONIZED PROPAGANDA
Antigun activists are getting so desperate that they are relying on incorrect methodology against the firearm industry to spread their own gun control agenda. Put simply: junk science will always be junk science. Regardless of whether the ‘scientist’ believes it or not. Recently, The New York Times posted an article asserting that …
CHIEF MOM SHANNON WATTS DEMANDS, BRAGS ABOUT NIXING FREE SPEECH
Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, announced in January that she would retire from her antigun group sometime this year. Don’t expect a quiet exit as she’s now talking about restricting free speech. Watts, whose gun control group is controlled by billionaire and former failed gun control presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, took …
Try Enforcement Before “Reform”
Seeing that “gun control” is an unpopular term, anti-gun organizations have styled themselves as “gun-reform” advocates in recent years. Here, the term “reform” implies that U.S. gun laws are somehow insufficient and must be altered. Contending that the nation’s current gun laws are inadequate is, at best, presumptive and, at …
Michael Bloomberg’s Semantics
No wrongheaded idea in all of American political life is more difficult to dislodge than the idea that more guns, and fewer gun-control laws, leads inevitably to more crime. The claim is a constant refrain of politicians who seek to shirk responsibility for crime; it is the supposition that undergirds …
Examples of Truth and Sanity Slip Past Editorial Process at The Trace
Last month we reported on a surprising fact check by CNN that sought to hold Joe Biden accountable for several false statements he made during an anti-gun speech in Connecticut. Yet perhaps even more shocking were recent articles at the anti-gun propaganda site The Trace that managed to deliver accurate and relevant information on …
OPPOSE THE USELESS UNDETECTABLE FIREARMS ACT
Sometimes it takes decades for a poorly drafted anti-gun law to rise up and bite you. The 1968 gun ban for “mental defectives” sat around for 25 years before an anti-gun Clinton administration decided to use it to disarm more than 250,000 law-abiding veterans who had never been before a …
FN Reflex: A Micro-Compact For The Masses
There are many firearm companies with affordably priced, broadly marketed guns that have become almost ubiquitous, thanks to their popularity within the larger firearm community. FN America is not one of those companies. That’s not to say that it produces undesirable firearms. Quite the contrary, in fact. Who doesn’t want a SCAR? …
RYAN BUSSE IS A FEAR MERCHANT AND LIAR, AND NO FIREARM INDUSTRY EXPERT
Anytime the media’s favorite former “gun guy” turned-gun control advocate gets invited to speak about gun control, hold on. It’s going to be a wild ride. Ryan Busse, Senior Advisor for Giffords gun control group, was invited to MSNBC’s “Reidout” to speak with host Joy Reid as she bemoaned that she was …
“RED FLAG” LAWS WILL NOT SAVE LIVES
“Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Orders (GCOs), also known as Extreme Risk Protection Orders, are an objectively ineffective proposal in the wake of mass public shootings. A study on the effectiveness of “Red Flag” GCOs, conducted in 2018 using data from 13 states for a combined total of 36 years, found …
Indianapolis City Council Continues Attack on Second Amendment
Last night, the Indianapolis City-County Council passed a proposed gun control measure by a vote of 18 to 5. Rather than addressing crime and prosecuting criminals, Mayor Hogsett and the City-County Council are focused on disarming law-abiding citizens and attempting to violate preemption with a gun control package that they admit is …
