As we are all aware, AstroTurf groups such as Shannon Watts’s Moms Demand Action (which is a copy cat of another movement from the early 2000’s that faded) are very good at what they do: getting attention. They are at city council meetings, county board meetings, and, as we have seen recently in districts in […]
By Dennis Petrocelli, MD On November 5th, control of both the House and Senate of the Virginia General Assembly flipped to Democrat control. The Virginia Democrats owe a huge debt to Michael Bloomberg for the millions he poured into the state, and they are returning the favor by pushing extreme, unconstitutional infringements on gun owners. […]
I’ve been following the New Zealand firearm “buyback” with some amusement as I ran estimates on the compliance rate based on NZ Police turn-in reports and NZ government guesstimates of the number of affected firearms. (It’s a measly 16.5% as of November 24.) News of the “buyback” privacy breach has added extra humor value. Sorry, […]
By Miguel A. Faria, M.D. A good approach to gun violence and street crime should not involve penalizing law-abiding citizens and infringing on their Second Amendment rights, while coddling criminals. Yet that is exactly what Democrats want to do. In fact they have tried to exempt criminal gangs from the draconian laws, including red flag […]
New Zealand’s banned gun confiscation program has been a rolling dumpster fire since Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern rammed the law through following last year’s mosque shootings in Christchurch. The “buyback” became a national joke, marked by pathetically low participation rates and police begging gang members to please turn in their guns. Now, according to the […]
This is TTAG’s weekly roundup of legal and legislative news affecting guns, the gun business and gun owners’ rights. For a deeper dive into the topics discussed here, check out this week in gun rights at FPC. Florida Fighting Off Feisty Municipalities After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school murders, a group of Florida municipal governments […]
By Miguel A. Faria, MD Perry, Georgia attorney Larry Walker penned an interesting article in the (Macon) Telegraph on wild hogs describing their increasing destruction of flora, fauna, and property — a scourge and a serious concern to citizens in more than 40 states. Moreover, the multiple stories about wild hogs rampaging across the land […]
Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas prefiled Senate Bill 64 titled A BILL to amend and reenact § 18.2-433.2 of the Code of Virginia, relating to paramilitary activities; penalty. The relevant portion: A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he: 1. Teaches or demonstrates to […]
Vapers may be new to this, but some of us are not. Heads Should Roll at CDC after Botched Vaping Investigation It should have been obvious to CDC that regular e-cigarettes were not and could not have been causing these illnesses. Commercial nicotine e-cigarettes have been on the American and European markets for more than […]
If Gabrielle Blair didn’t exist, the pro-rights movement would have to invent her, if only for the comedic relief. She approaches gun people control with all the expertise of an interior designer. Ms. Blair achieved her bit of internet fame the other day with a simple(-minded) tweet. There are far better ways to protect your […]
Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg clearly objects to being called a “lying m****rf****r.” Well, I might have chosen other words. “M****rf****r” isn’t a term I use terribly often. If I were writing on my personal blog, I could go with “son of a b***h,” but more likely I’d roll with “scumbag.” But he is a liar. […]
By Larry Keane Michael Bloomberg made it official. The gun control godfather and financier of several anti-gun groups is throwing his billions in to buy his way to the White House and force his radical anti-gun agenda on America. It might have been the worst-kept secret in the history of presidential runs. The former New […]
