This is what constitutes deep thinking in the media these days . . . Twitter chat: How the gun control debate mirrors larger issues of partisanship in America
What would it take to turn Texas, a Republican stronghold, into a blue state? According to data from SurveyMonkey, just remove all the gun owners from the Lone Star State and it would have gone to Hillary Clinton in 2016. You can do the same thing in liberal California. Remove all the non-gun owners and the state would have voted for Donald Trump.
That’s how divisive the issue of gun control is in American politics.
SurveyMonkey found that no other demographic — not race, religion or gender — so perfectly divided voters. In the 2016 election, 47 percent of Trump supporters said gun control was an issue important enough to influence their vote. That’s compared to just 27 percent of voters who supported Hillary Clinton.
And Hollywood has a huge amount of moral credibility right now, too . . . Melissa McCarthy, Emma Stone, More Stars Urge People to #RejectTheNRA
In response to the devastating mass shooting in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, stars including Melissa McCarthy, Emma Stone, Bill Hader, Laura Dern, Sheryl Crow and Adam Scott have teamed up for a video showing how everyday Americans can call on their congressional lawmakers to reject legislation that would roll back gun silencer safety laws and to reject a national concealed carry reciprocity bill.
Emma Stone starts off the clip. “The mass shooting in Las Vegas has left all of us grieving, scared and angry,” she says. “Knowing what to do about it can be confusing. Here’s one thing that can make a difference right now,” Bill Hader adds. A slew of stars then urge viewers to text “REJECT” to 644-33 to connect them to Everytown Gun Safety, which will then connect people with their Congressional representatives. The group also provides a script to use when speaking to lawmakers.
Finally . . . Last suspect arrested in 2010 killing of Border Patrol agent
The last of seven suspects in the 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was arrested over the weekend, the US Department of Justice said in a statement.
Jesus Rosario Favela Astorga, 37, was arrested in Mexico and is awaiting extradition to the US. He was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Terry’s killing.
Authorities said Terry was fatally shot near Arizona’s border with Mexico during a gun battle between Border Patrol agents and a group of five men, including Favela Astorga.
It’s almost as if the media have an institutional bias against civilian firearms ownership . . . Report: Major Media Networks Favor Gun Control 5 to 1 in Vegas Shooting Coverage
A media watchdog group released a report on Monday that found the three major broadcast networks presented coverage in favor of new gun-control measures nearly 5 times as often as they presented coverage in favor of gun rights during the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting.
The Media Research Center, a conservative nonprofit, said between October 2 and October 8, ABC, NBC, and CBS’s news programs spent 30 minutes and 17 seconds arguing in favor of more gun control while only 6 minutes and 27 seconds were dedicated to support for gun rights. The report, authored by Deputy Research Director Geoffrey Dickens and published on the group’s NewsBusters website, examined all statements from anchors, reporters, guests, and soundbites that took a position on gun control or gun rights.
Double Take: #MeToo Proves Women Deserve Access To Guns [VIDEO]
In this episode, the hosts discuss NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch moving her family from her home because she has received serious threats of rape and assault from unhinged leftists. Loesch shared her story with the viral hashtag #MeToo, which encourages women to identify themselves as victims of sexual harassment or sexual assault. However, very few leftists have given Loesch any sympathy, which she claims is because liberals are okay with a little sexism as long as it silences conservative women.

Trump slump? What Trump slump? . . . Trump Era NICS Checks Close to Record in September
The Trump era of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) has been showing robust numbers for nine months now. Two of the nine months are all-time records. The overall numbers for the year are on track to be the second highest year in the history of NICS.
NICS checks for September 2017 have been 1,967,104, almost identical to the record number in 2016, of 1,992,219. That is just short of 99% of the record. The total for the year to date is 18,235,898, more than the entire year of 2011. It is 92% of the 2017 NICS at the end of September.
Yep, the great majority of us are . . . Happy To Be A Gun Owner
I’m happy to own a couple of shotguns. One of them I grew up with, hunting quail and pheasants with my dad and making memories I’ll cherish forever. My own kids love to shoot it now, and it makes me happy watching them do so. Another is tricked out for 3-gun competition, with an expanded loading port, oversized charging handle and extended magazine tube. Neither of them are bad, and neither has ever killed anyone—innocent or otherwise.
I’m also happy to own a handful of deer rifles of various calibers. I’ve hunted extensively with them, often with one or more of my children. The stories we have about deer taken with each rifle bring back memories of hunts old and new, both far and near. Just looking at these rifles in the safe makes me smile and look forward to going back into the field with them again this fall.
Problem: deep down, your audience wants both, including full-blown gun confiscation . . . Don’t Repeal the Second Amendment—Just Pass Sensible Gun Laws
In this bleak moment, some gun safety supporters have offered a startling new stance. They urge a repeal of the Second Amendment itself. Anything less, they argue, is a placebo.
It’s an understandable impulse. The use of the amendment as a talisman to protect against sensible gun laws is one of the more infuriatingly predictable parts of our national culture. But this new call is woefully misguided. It accepts Wayne LaPierre’s vision of the Second Amendment and what it allows. But the Bill of Rights isn’t the obstacle to sane gun laws. A broken political system is.

I have two words for Ms. Stone: Zombieland and Hypocrite.
She probably got gangbanged by the Weinstein Brothers during a casting once, so I can understand if she’s suffering from PTSD or other mental condition.
Hollywood actresses are bigger whores than a politician at a fundraiser.
Does anyone think anyone is going to listen to Hollywood *now*?
I will buy it. Love all the PPQ variants.
That reject the NRA thing was covered on Breitbart this morning. The story said they were also urging people to reject concealed carry.
I had to laugh. Of all the days to read that. My wife had a procedure done at the hospital this morning. I CCed all day, as per usual, including right past their “no weapons” sign. Reading that story around 11 was amusing as hell having, at that point carried for a touch over six hours, including 5+ in a “sensitive area” and having shot exactly no one.
It’s almost like a gun is an inanimate object that doesn’t do anything until a person picks it up and does something with it…
A side note: A security checkpoint doesn’t do a goddamn thing if it’s not manned (Really in this case it doesn’t do a damn thing either way since the obese guys who man it aren’t armed with anything more than a radio and bad breath. Those guys would starve if their lunch bag fought back.). I walked in to the hospital around 5:30, before it was manned. Useless.
What??!! That evil firearm did not seek out weak or people of color and just start blasting away? Im pretty sure all firearms mind meld with their carriers and force them to fire upon innocents.
I literally never see Walther’s in any local gunshop. And I WAS interested in a Creed. Oh well…
So transfer one in via gunbroker or gallery of guns! Totally worth it!
Always wanted to cross train with some good Krav folks. Never really found anyone I thought was seriously reputable.
That blade looks like he uses it to punch a flow-hole in his adult beverages… and does it a lot.
Not that I would know what that looks like…

I am possibly the worst unarmed combat student more than one organization has been saddled with, yet I remember this clear as day: “Remember how in a knife fight you ARE going to get cut? This is the same, but with bullets. You’ve already made a few mistakes to even be in this position, now your best option involves a pretty high probability you’ll have a hand to hand fight to the death with a fresh bullet wound. Good luck with that”.
This actually seems innovative. Chalk up yet another upper variant for DPMS-10 platform guns. I wish they’d make their damn minds up but at least this time they have a reason.
Any time you think you’ve made something idiot proof, they go and make a better idiot.
The ATF quoting the law? What is that mess? Someone’s gonna get themselves fired if they keep it up. We should really ask them to re-evaluate 7N5, but I don’t know if that matters any more due to the whole Russia ban thing.
Step 1: Order all “Assault Weapons” to be stored at designated gun ranges.
Step 2: Take gun ranges to court and litigate them out of existence as a nuisance because morons move in next door and hate the noise.
Step 3: Guns have to be collected by the government because no storage locations exist anymore as they were shut down.
Step 4:
Step 5: Profit
Common denominators
1. Moms promote gun violence. Restaurants and stores were robbed at gunpoint within 48 hrs after caving to their demands.
2. Moms consists primarily of women with no knowledge of criminal behavior or human behavior.
3. Moms know nothing about firearms like the majority of women in the US. Lemmings to a fault by gender!
4. Moms reject all firearm safety training.
5. Moms do not oppose or reject the cultural standard of black on black violence that comprises most of the violent assaults.
6. Moms reject all rights to self defense and protection of life. Body counts are more important than lives saved by law abiding citizens and licensed gun owners.
Get rid of the Second Amendment, and we’ll waste whatever the F time is necessary Fing yer sh_t up so you don’t interrupt our prosecution of the 2nd Paragraph of The Declaration of Independence.
Sometime check out the website of National Review, and search for the article “An Open Rant Aimed at Those That Would Appeal the Second Amendment” by Charles C. W. Cooke. This guy is British, but is more of an American than any Democrat I know.
*Repeal, not appeal. Oops.
“If it saves just one life.” Firearms have saved millions more innocent and good guys’ lives. So there you have it. Does not require any dumb shit academic to figure that one out.
Protesting spree shootings by disarming yourself and deriding a major self-defense civil rights organization like the NRA makes about as much sense as protesting motor vehicle deaths by walking along freeways and deriding the American Automobile Association.

“Rapid-fire capability isn’t protected by the Second Amendment. Using a ‘full auto’ rifle for self-defense would be like using a cannon.” – Steve Chapman
The Second Amendment DOES cover rapid-fire. In addition to the plain language and intent of the Second Amendment itself, reference the 1939 U.S. Supreme Court decision United States v. Miller which protects firearms that our military uses or that would be useful to our militia.
As for the utility of a full-auto rifle, it is an extremely useful feature if attackers are overrunning you at close range. And note that people can legally own cannons, which could also be important for self-defense and militia activities in certain circumstances.
Having said all that, our rights are sacrosanct, period. If our government should only honor rights when our rights have “utility”: who gets to define “utility”? And what is a correct definition of utility?
In the immortal words of the latest Budweiser commercial, “Dilly-Dilly!”
This is exactly what I have been talking about. In the 1st paragraph of this article, the author all but admits defeat even before making his argument. The NRA should keep its collective mouth shut instead of giving the anti’s a pinch of hope by suggesting bump stocks should be “regulated”. And all of us should stop arguing with people who have already made up their mind and who have already have conceded defeat. There can be no negotiation if we refuse to negotiate.
After all, as someone once said, “…if you sit down to negotiate for something you already have, you have already lost”.
When they talk about bump stocks, we should talk about expanding CCW. When they talk about universal background checks, we should talk about arming more and more women so that they will be able to defend themselves. Concentrate on what we want vs what they want. We have the upper hand and we should act like it. Offense not defense.
If you ever feel the need to negotiate, start with this philosophy: not one inch. Not one step back. Ever.
Ok this author is even dumber’n me. See crew served weapons ( cannons, machine guns, and the like) were privately held and privately purchased up until sometime after Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill under cover fire provided by a number of Colt “Potato Diggers” that were bought for his unit by a well to do family whose son was serving with him. Actually it was fairly common for the rich folks of the time to buy their local militia, National Guard, or other military unit better weaponry than was issued by the military. Hence the large numbers of Henry and Sharps rifles that saw service during the Civil War. Those were never adopted for military service but well to do soldiers or well to do families would frequently purchase such arms for themselves and/or their relatives.
Now for full auto. It really wasn’t all that long ago one could order any gun they wished right out of Sears and Roebuck and have it mailed to their house. Full auto, semi auto, high power, it didn’t matter if you could pay the price you could get the gun. After prohibition started and pearl clutching newspaper headlines soaked in blood and savagery started to scare the bejesus out of the population at large as gangsters fought brutal wars against one another over the now profitable illegal alcohol trade that the first calls for gun control were ever uttered. This would later lead to the NFA which would attempt to tax machine guns and short barreled weapons (SBR and SBS) out of existence. If it weren’t for Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and others we mat never have had an ATF or NFA, but since the press went nuts reporting on literally anything other than the failure of the economy and FDR’s New Deal at assuaging the hardships and strife of the common man’s everyday life the NFA passed with relatively little opposition.

Psychopaths are not murders. Some murders are psychopaths. Not being emotional doesn’t mean you don’t know what is wrong and what is right; nor does it mean you will be drawn to do something you know is wrong. There are a bunch of psychopaths in the US military; they kill the “enemy,” come home like nothing ever happened and live a peaceful life.
If he was OCD he would have trained for the event like a Navy SEAL would. He would have been at the range all the time like a professional shooter. He would have setup the floor plan in the desert and drilled it all day. He would have learned how to hit his target at long range without relying on internet numbers. He wouldn’t have used bump fire stocks on every gun he picked up; he might not even think of using such inaccurate things in the first place because the OCD will make you want to land every bullet at every target the first time. He would have put the same optics on all of his guns. He wouldn’t be able to allow himself to gamble for days at the hotel whilst leaving the explosives in the car not prepared for the event. If he was OCD and set his mind to kill humans, he wouldn’t have focused on the people at the Route 91 venue when he had many chances to kill offered to him — if you are going for numbers, you want to go for a perfect score, you are not going to stop until forced to. Why even do a one time attack when you can murder many people throughout your remaining life time and not get caught? If he was a psychopath, OCD, serial killer, maybe he would have rather spent his life trying to outdo the Zodiac Killer or John Muhammad.
My modest additions:
8. Repeal NFA 1934 completely
9. Repeal GCA 1968 completely
10. Repeal FIPA 1986 completely
Reread 2A, and in the future it is all the “gun law” we need.
I used to like Hugh. Now I think he’s just another RINO.
I hope Mark Levin has now heard Hugh’s 2A view. Mark frequently uses him as a guest host and Mark is very pro 2A.
I hope Hugh just lost his side job.
