Biden Lies about Gun Control, Of Course

"Vice President Joe Biden insists that private ownership of so-called assault weapons should be forbidden because police 'are outgunned on the street by the bad guys and the proliferation of these weapons.' In fact, duty-related deaths of police officers declined in 2012 as compared to the previous year, continuing a decades-long trend. And there wasn’t a single instance in which a police officer was killed by someone using a so-called assault weapon. Many – if not most – of the so-called assault weapons used in crime are stolen from the police. Yet the government continues to send military-grade weaponry to local police departments."

“Gun Violence”: The “National Conversation” We Won’t Have

"According to Clarence Dupnik – the craven, dim-witted functionary who presides over the Pima County Sheriff’s Office – about fifty SWAT raids of the kind that led to the murder of Jose Guerena occur within his jurisdiction every year, which is shocking. In Baltimore County, Chief Johnson’s Einsatzgruppen conduct more than 120 attacks of that kind annually, which are among the 1,600 military assaults carried out in Maryland each year, a figure that is genuinely horrifying. Gun-related violence by government-licensed killers is ubiquitous – and it is also a forbidden subject in the 'national conversation' our rulers have orchestrated for their benefit."

Hey Australia, How’s That Gun Ban Working?

"Young men are arming themselves with illegal guns to fight petty disputes in a trend that is alarming police and has placed Sydney in the midst of another spike in public shootings. The acting Police Commissioner, Nick Kaldas, has pleaded with young men to ''think about your family and loved ones and what this means'' after a spate of fatal and drive-by shootings already this year. Three men have been shot in Sydney since Sunday afternoon, including a 24-year-old father, Joshua George, who died from a single wound to the chest after a disagreement at a party the night before."

Thoughts on “Assault Weapons” and “Magazine Limits” from an Actual Gun Expert

"I don’t think American politicians have the same evil motives as some of the world’s most reprehensible dictators, all of whom supported gun control as a way of controlling – and in many cases slaughtering – their people. Indeed, I suspect some of them simply are unaware of the facts that Mr. Correia provides in the article." Continue reading →

Pentagon Needs Battle Plan for Troop-Suicide Threat

"The Pentagon said this week there were 349 suicides by active-duty members of the armed services in 2012, as opposed to 311 combat deaths. Before you jump to conclusions about the plight of battle- traumatized veterans failing to readjust to life stateside, consider this astounding fact: More than half of troops who killed themselves had never deployed from the U.S., and 85 percent never saw combat."

Four arrested during protest of nudity ban in San Francisco

"Four people were arrest during a protest of San Francisco’s nudity ban, which was passed late last year and went into effect on Feb. 1, reported the Associated Press. Two days ago, a court upheld the ban, explaining that it did not violate the First Amendment: 'In spite of what plaintiffs argue, nudity in and of itself is not inherently expressive.' 'We’re not here to arrest and cite people if we don’t have to,' police officer Albie Esparza told the AP, 'but if we have to, we will.'" Continue reading →

Argentine ‘superhero’ facing weapons charges

"A self-styled Buenos Aires superhero who fought crime armed only with a costume, mask and pepper spray, is now himself up on weapons charges. Thanks to an alleged shootout with muggers the superhero has been charged with carrying an unlicensed gun, police said Wednesday. The man who called himself Menganno — Spanish for Joe Blow — and became famous in Argentine media is actually one Oscar Lefosse, 43, a former cop who served from 1986 to 1996. It turns out his gun license expired a year ago." Continue reading →
