Let's Talk Numbers

Why doesn't anyone challenge these people when they start talking about guns and gun violence? Where are the homicides, what are the circumstances surrounding those homicides? Who used the gun? Where did they get it? Should they have been in possession? Anyway, check out the current field of candidates for the Democratic nomination for President and think about those questions while you read about the fight Cory Booker says he's going to bring to the NRA if he becomes president.

The Problem in New Zealand

New Zealand had a mass shooting. They already have a bunch of gun control laws in place and it still didn't stop the shooter. As I'll always say, you can't stop a criminal with words on paper.

They are asking who knew what and when, a place where we in the U.S, often start after such a sad event. Here that frequently translates into how the NICS system failed and someone who shouldn't have a firearm ends up with one. Who knows what New Zealand will find out. A certainty is that New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced their laws will change, "the country will ban semiautomatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines." For me that begs the question, "If gun crime is already rare, how does a full ban help?" Which should immediately be followed up by asking how New Zealand will go about collecting all the guns. A hearty pat on the back to anyone who guessed that they'll use their registraton rolls as a collection list. Good luck New Zealand gun owners, you're going to need it.

They Can't Trust Themselves...

...So how can they trust you? Symbolic of the geniuses that Second Amendment loving Americans are up against, here we have an anti-gunner threatening to shoot others (if they owned a gun). There seems to be a lot of this kind of thinking going around. Anecdotal opinion on my part, of course. But, I think their tune would change if they actually did become gun owners. Go Read It.

No New Laws...Enforcement, Please

Latest shooter shouldn't have had a gun. Big surprise that the laws we already have aren't being enforce like they should. Go Read It

Yeah, Right

Like anyone on the gun control side would ever listen to what "super-owners" have to say. Go Read It

Not a Part of The Solution

Mocking the idea that maybe there's a solution that we haven't thought of yet. Nice. Go Read It

Not Really a Surprise

It turns out that Police don't have a duty to protect anyone. Similar to a case back in 2005 where the Supreme Court said police didn't have to protect a woman from her abusive husband (even when there was a restraining order), a Judge has found that Broward County Sheriffs had no Constitutional duty to confront the shooter at Parkland. Keep that in mind when you turn your kiddos over to a public school with a resource officer. Just one more good example of how poorly Gun Free Zones work. Go Read It

But, but, but, gun control...

Gun control doesn't work. It's really as easy as that. Evidently the shooter was in both France and Germany. There's "gun control" that people here want already in place in both countries. Didn't work. Go Read It.
