Politicians and members of the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex are still operating under the delusion that they can keep the lid on 3D printed guns and parts, despite the fact that people have been making their own firearms for hundreds of years. Al Gore’s greatest invention has only made the information and the processes more […]
The argument against safe-storage laws by gun advocates is that when the bad man breaks into the house, a trigger lock or a gun in a locked cabinet makes the weapon useless for self-defense. But that’s not the case. Vendors have designed trigger locks and gun safes that users can quickly access. Besides, unsecured guns are […]
Go ahead, risk a little “EU tension” . . . What the EU wants: Under a Revised Firearms directive, a ban on weapons capable of rapidly firing multiple rounds Automatic and semi-automatic weapons would either be banned or heavily restricted Each owner of such a weapon, and the weapon itself, are known to police across […]
Some kinds of entertainment are simply too difficult to experience in today’s society. (F)or me, it’s becoming harder to come to terms with on-screen gun violence in a country defined by real-life tragedies. That’s specifically the case with a movie like John Wick, where the overall plot involves a violent revenge fantasy. Sure, John Wick is […]
Elections have consequences. “New York City’s transport ban infringes the right to keep and bear arms guaranteed by the 2nd and 14th Amendments,” Solicitor General Noel Francisco argued in a friend of the court brief Wednesday. Francisco asked the court to “confirm” that the Second Amendment also protects the right of a “law-abiding, responsible citizen to take […]
Jacinda Ardern says 8000 Kiwis who watched the mosque shooter’s live stream sought out “mental health support.” Now she wants the social media giants to police speech (even more than they already do) in order to “prevent the posting of terrorist content online, to ensure its efficient and fast removal and to prevent the use […]
Senator Spartacus must be awfully desperate to draw attention to his flagging presidential campaign. That, or he’s even more ignorant than we thought. Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post‘s fact-checker, on Monday morning said, “Booker’s comparison of the regulations of toy guns and real guns is specious,” giving him three Pinocchios for the statements. Analyzing Booker’s wording, […]
When you have students who don’t want to be politicized and shooters who don’t fit the preconceived profile of what every mass shooter should be, the talking heads and satellite trucks seem to lose interest and move on awfully quickly. Strange, isn’t it? None of this falls in line with what the shooter is supposed […]
Robert Francis O’Rourke’s presidential campaign has gotten off to a less-than-rousing start. But when you don’t really believe in anything except continuing to fail upwards, it’s easy to change your mind overnight. Democratic 2020 hopeful Beto O’Rourke changed his position on whether gun licensing is a good idea overnight. The former Texas congressman told reporters at […]
Or something . . . Supporters of the Texas and Florida measures argue that these proposals will make students safer by allowing school officials to respond to on-campus shootings. But these measures have been sharply criticized by students, legislators, and policy experts who note that there’s no evidence backing up the benefits of more guns […]
No mention of armed good guys on-site. When seconds count . . . Security cameras that can detect whether someone is armed will be installed in one of the Christchurch mosques targeted in the March 15 terror attack. The cameras, made by US company Athena Security Services, use artificial intelligence (AI) and are able to alert to […]
Scenes from life in the People’s Republic . . . At the local level, no town’s firearm laws can override or be less stringent than those set by the state. Confusing matters even further than the baseline state and federal background and fingerprint checks, stringency is not always so black and white, or necessarily applied […]
