4 Years After Sandy Hook, Obama Leaves a Legacy of Little Progress on Gun Laws – “Four years ago today, the president had what must have been one of the more gut-wrenching moments of his presidency. Speaking just hours after 20 children and six educators were killed in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, he urged the nation to come together and ‘take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.'” And he put Joe Biden in charge of the effort. No one who’s actually serious about accomplishing something assigns Joe Biden to the task.

How Have Sex Toys Become The Symbol Of The Anti-Campus-Carry Movement? – “You know the anti-gun movement is out of ideas when its big protest idea involves waving around sex toys. Hot on the heels of a similar protest at the University of Texas (that didn’t change policy but did result in a segment on ‘The Daily Show,’) students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are ready to bust out the big guns (metaphorically speaking) to show their displeasure at any potential campus-carry measure introduced in the Wisconsin legislature.” When you don’t have the facts on your side, go for the absurd.

Oh. Darn.  . . . Gun Control Thriller ‘Miss Sloane’ Has One of the Worst Opening Weekends Ever – “Miss Sloane, the gun control thriller starring Jessica Chastain, over the weekend posted one of the worst performances of the past 35 years for a movie in wide release. The movie pulled in $1,167 on average at the 1,648 theaters across the country it was shown in. It made $1,922,300, meaning it was the 11th-highest grossing movie in the country. It is number 79 on Box Office Mojo’s list of Worst Opening Weekend by Per-Theater Average since 1982.” And none of the big brains who green-lighted this thing saw any contradiction in the concept of a Christmas release “gun control thriller.” Think about that for a moment.

Fake news . . . ATF ranks Florida third for guns recovered in crimes – “The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ranked Florida as one of the top three states for guns recovered in crimes, behind number two Texas and California. … (Polk County Sheriff Grady) Judd admits he is both fired up and fed up. “Florida is the third most populated state in the nation. There’s 20 million people here,” he said. ‘Guess what, newsflash, we’re going to have more criminals.’” Precisely. You’d expect the third most populous state to rank third in guns recovered, wouldn’t you?

Handgun owners can’t renew permits because NY hasn’t created website –  “The law says the renewals are supposed to be done by Jan. 31, 2018, via a State Police website. However, Jastrzemski said, the website hasn’t been set up yet and he hasn’t been able to tell people calling his office what to do about the matter. Will Fowler, supervisor of Erie County’s pistol permit office, agreed. ‘When we get the info, we’ll tell them what it is. Nothing more. What else can I tell them?’ he asked.” The Empire State has probably hired the same geniuses who were in charge of creating the Obamacare web site for this job.
