GUN CONTROL LOOKS TO DRY UP LEGAL TALENT FOR GUN INDUSTRY
Gun control groups are big Shakespeare fans, apparently. They’re taking a page from the famed Elizabethan-era bard’s Henry VI as the next play on foisting gun control on the American public. “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” Shakespeare wrote in the play. Two gun control groups …
A “Red State” or “Blue City” Murder Problem?
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety, ranks the 50 states on how well they have comported their laws to the organization’s civilian disarmament agenda. In doing so, the group describes New Hampshire, with its few gun control laws, as a “national failure.” That descriptor might come …
ATF Director Can’t Define a Firearm Type He Wants to Ban
Proponents of gun control routinely call for “assault weapons” to be banned, most notably, and probably most frequently, President Joe Biden (D). So when Steve Dettelbach, who Biden nominated to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), was asked to define what, exactly, an “assault weapon” is, …
Columnist thinks gun owners can be shamed out of their rights
At least one of the joyless scolds that predominate in gun control circles thinks they’ve stumbled onto a novel anti-gun tactic. According to Colorado Newsline Editor Quentin Young, gun control supporters should try to shame gun owners into foregoing their Constitutional rights. In a piece titled, “Stop tolerating gun extremists. Shame them,” …
‘PAUSE’ ON CREDIT CARD TRACKING CODE WELCOMED BUT FIREARM INDUSTRY KEEPING WATCHFUL EYE
Second Amendment supporters and law-abiding gun owners can breathe a sigh of relief. For now, at least. The four major credit card companies – American Express, VISA, Mastercard and Discover – all announced they were “pausing” efforts to implement a newly-created Merchant Category Code (MCC) to track gun store purchases. NSSF worked …
LAWMAKERS SAYING ‘NOT SO FAST’ ON CREDIT CARD GUN STORE TRACKING CODE
Amalgamated Bank CEO Priscilla Sims Brown isn’t shy about catering to Democratic politics and progressive causes. The New York Post even described her as “the Left’s private banker.” Sims Brown is especially proud of herself after she lobbied the main international credit card standards organization to create a special tracking …
DID GUN CONTROL JUST ADMIT FIREARM MANUFACTURING IS A NET POSITIVE FOR COMMUNITIES?
A recent column in The Atlantic on the decline and despair of New Haven, Conn., caught my attention. It’s an area that many of those associated with the firearm industry are, at least, aware of. For me, it’s a little closer to home. It’s where my family’s roots run deep – both …
Hypocritical Elites Protected While Wanting You Defenseless
There’s a big gap between what the progressive elite preaches as their “transformative vision of public safety” for you and me, and what many of them see as appropriate for their special selves. Here are just a few examples of their hypocrisy on display. LORI LIGHTFOOT Chicago’s anti-gun mayor, Lori Lightfoot, …
Research Experiment Exposes Key Problem with Anti-gun Social Science
Social science is in the midst of a replication crisis. This means the findings of many published social science papers cannot be reproduced and are likely invalid. A new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) sheds light on the scale of the problem and calls into question …
FLORIDA GOV. #GUNVOTE DEBATE QUICK SHOT
National gun control groups are flailing. They can’t understand why voters won’t give up their rights. The groups continue insisting Florida voters want stricter gun control but repeating it ad nauseum won’t make it reality. They’re even targeting Florida voters based solely on race. It’s disgusting. The Second Amendment is …
