Message From Mike Corbat [Citigroup CEO] Dear Colleagues, Over the last several weeks, I have had many conversations with clients, colleagues and friends who hold a range of opinions on the regulation of firearms in the U.S. It is clear to me that most people believe there are areas of agreement and practical changes we […]
The greatest gun salesman in the history of the world has let it be known that he’s a fan of the Parkland students and their efforts to reduce and restrict Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Mic.com got their hands on a copy of a letter the former CinC and first lady sent to urge them on. […]
reddit.com has been one of the most liberal of social media websites. Liberal in the classic sense: tolerant. Open-minded. Welcoming. The company’s now joined the post-Parkland culture War on Guns being waged by corporate America (e.g., YouTube). Check out the official notice below . . . Read the second half of the announcement listening to […]
“In the world’s most murderous country, gun control is starting to lose its appeal,” bloomberg.com reports. “Desperate Brazilians are wondering whether they’d be better off armed, given that around 60,000 of their compatriots are killed each year. Polls show support for gun ownership gaining ground. In an election year, politicians are paying attention.” Did you […]
Regulatory over-reach, thy name is Massachusetts. You may remember that back in 2016 Bay State Attorney General Maura Healey unilaterally extended the state’s ban on “assault weapon” sales with a stroke of her pen. She accomplished this high-handed feat of autocracy by redefining the legal definition of what qualifies as an assault rifle, a move […]
Tim Harmsen of YouTube’s Military Arms Channel writes: YouTube has recently began a campaign of directly attacking content creators they do not agree with philosophically or politically. Firearms channels have been one of the hardest hit by these rapidly changing “policies” . . . YouTube’s new firearms specific policies are above. The Do No Harm […]
Wikipedia informs us that “The National Firearms Act imposes a statutory excise tax on the manufacture and transfer of certain firearms and mandates the registration of those firearms.” Specifically, machine guns, short-barreled shotguns and rifles, and suppressors. The NFA was a bad idea when it was enacted in 1934 and it’s a bad idea now, for two main reasons […]
Despite the YouTube caption, I don’t think the knife in question is a switchblade. Looks like your average pocket knife to me. (I half expected someone in the crowd to yell “That’s not a knife!” in an Australian accent.) While I don’t know the who, what or where, the why is clear enough . . […]
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. You may recognize these declarations from George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. A modern-day news org based in Mr. Orwell’s native land — The Guardian — puts a modern twist on the author’s prophetic pronouncements with Why the real defenders of the second amendment oppose the NRA . […]
It’s a problem that has vexed politicians, academics, the media and civilian disarmament types for decades…Americans’ embarrassing national love and support for firearm freedom. More specifically, they can’t figure out what to do about our terribly inconvenient affinity for the nation’s most popular rifle, the AR-15 . . . Gun controllers have tried passing laws, […]
Topeka Kansas had 30 homicides in 2017. That is a record setting number. Of the 30 homicides, four have been ruled as justified so far. The Topeka Capitol-Journal published that nine of the homicide investigations were still open at the end of the year. Presumably, the Cazee-Watkins case was one of those. From cjonline.com: Cazee-Watkins […]
NRA Florida Lobbyist Marion Hammer writes [via ammoland.com]: As previously reported, the passing of the Florida gun control bill was so orchestrated by Republicans that as soon as Governor Scott signed the bill into law, FDLE quickly shut down the firearms background check system for hours to update the system to accommodate the new gun control […]
