“Assault Rifle” and Remembering When Gun Control Was at Least Remotely Rational
A curious mutation in gun control activism occurred during the last few decades, whence began a fixation on something dubbed the “assault rifle.”

A curious mutation in gun control activism occurred during the last few decades, whence began a fixation on something dubbed the “assault rifle.”
The other day, your friendly Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives(BATFE, or ATF, or the corner minit mart) sent out a letter to all Federal Firearms Licensees(or FFLs) which was just a sick joke, but only when it gets challenged in the Courts. They tried to pull a fast one on the law, …
American Karens Vote Commie. The Blue breakwater to the Red Wave was single women and young people. Other demographics moved as expected. Single Women voting for the disaster that is Biden Administration have to be as doctrinaire as the most carping, Pandemic-crazed Karens imaginable. The young people voting for Human Secular Totalitarianism have the more charitable …
Recently I received an e-mail reminding me that December 29 will be the 131st Anniversary of the murder of 297 Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota…an abject example of the result of gun control. These Native Americans, in their winter camp, were murdered on Dec. 29, …
Firearms. When you want to talk about a contentious subject, with a lefty, that’s my go to topic. If that isn’t enough, it’s that pro-abortion topic. But since the left tries so hard to make the tool illegal, and I just love my collection of tools, that’s where I will argue until they want …
No, there was not a drop in “mass shooting deaths” because of an “assault weapons ban” in the 1990s. And banning these rifles again will not stop shootings.
I’d bet he isn’t thinking, “Hey, I sure got around those gun control laws, didn’t I?” Meet Stephon Henderson. Mr Henderson, 59, allegedly shot and killed Talina Henderson, 47, his wife, at a residence in the 2800 block of Bay Colony Lane. Mrs Henderson was shot “multiple times,” which tells us that this was no …
The RINOs have decided to jump right on the “let’s make fools of the Republicans again” bandwagon.
New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, and California Governor, Damien Thorne, er uh, I mean Gavin Newsome are doing something they might think is brave, but is very stupid, after the NYR&P Association v Bruen. Both states and their governors, along with their massively Democrat controlled legislatures, are directly defying the Supreme Court decision. I hope …
The Democrats/Media, constantly demand that we restrict the Second Amendment as the answer to what they call “gun violence.” They focus on the gun and not the criminal who uses the gun, as if the gun is a living object that decides to shoot and kill.
A case is being set up to challenge the National Firearms Act, and it is because someone, (finally!), Justice Clarence Thomas, said all the right things in his decision on NY Pistol v Bruen.
Shortly after the Uvalde school shooting disaster, the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, held a press conference praising the Uvalde Police Department (UPD) for their bravery and quick response. The next day, after the truth of what happened came out, he had to recant his praise and instead blast the UPD for their incompetence. Apparently, …
Justice Clarence Thomas is in the news again and for all the right reasons. He’s defending our Constitutionally protected rights and angering the right people, libs.
This column has warned on several occasions about the dangers posed by RINOs. They consistently betray conservative principles and generally do so when their betrayal causes maximum damage.
And somehow the conversation in this country has eroded to where this is not even part of the conversation, it is completely ignored. There are many many points that we can engage on to argue against the “gun control compromise” that was voted on Wednesday in the US Senate, but it dawned on me that …
A very common Democrat talking point is that most Americans favor some form of reasonable gun control. And it is true that most people do. The problem with that is that we know history. If we start with some reasonable laws about firearms, that don’t actually prevent every single murder using a firearm, the left will immediately proceed to unreasonable limits.
The above is not an assault rifle, and neither are most of the firearms now under attack by the left. We need to take back the language.
Using “common sense” to describe the gun laws under discussion is about as misleading as using “affordable care” to describe Obamacare.
Adopted Philadelphian Amanda Marcotte doesn’t normally write about the City of Brotherly Love, but with the gang gun battle on Sunday, even she had to pay attention. From Salon: U.S. gun laws are causing mayhem and mass murder — and Republicans couldn’t be more thrilled Crappy gun laws cause our crime problems. But Republicans blame …
