It's Academic
Stanford law professor John Donohue claims to have discovered evidence that the 1994 federal ban on so-called assault weapons "really did work," because mass shootings and the deaths caused by them declined while the law was in effect, then rose afterward. But the methodology Donohue used is suspiciously selective, and his results do not show what he thinks they do. [More]Did he factor in the "costs" of confiscation?

From the Same Mob That Wants You Declared Unfit to Own a Gun
Trump's mental decline is perfectly clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear [More]Who would have a more qualified diagnosis for The Hill to offer its megaphone to than a Democrat apparatchik with a BA in Public Policy?

Those Kooky Conspiracy Theorists and Their... Evidence

I Thought the Acceptable Term was 'Undocumented'...
Developing: Alleged West Texas Shooter Illegally Purchased Illegally Manufactured Firearm [More]That last bit threw me off because I didn't see it fleshed out, but what it means is it looks like an unlicensed supplier was making guns with the intent to sell.

As a caveat, I can't offer a knowledge-based testimonial -- they emailed me their press release, which I'm passing on to you. With that understanding, it looks like a useful service and I prefer giving the benefit of the doubt when potential new friends introduce themselves.
So Pen the Bull Instead of Cutting His Horns Off and Turning Him Loose?
It makes no sense to let people who are known to be seriously mentally ill and believed to be dangerous go without treatment, even if they have had their weapons taken away. It’s not compassionate. And it can be dangerous. [More]A-yup.
That could raise probable cause and civil liberties requirements to a whole 'nother level. But what's the mechanism for the vast majority of the perpetually violent who don't submit their transfers to NICS?

He Did It! He Missed the Barn!
The fact that we live in a post-genocidal society oftentimes that was orchestrated by the United States government in that if we want to talk about mass shootings, we need to recognize the massive number of indigenous mass shootings that was conducted by the United States government. [More]And the only effective counter for targeted victims of that would be...?
Good thing it's "post" and could never, ever happen again, especially with all the tolerance for Heritage Americans being promoted these days.

We're the Only Ones Playful Enough
Officer Alix died in January after being shot. Hendren claimed they were playing with a gun and that he accidentally shot Alix in the chest. Another on-duty officer was also in the apartment on Dover in south St. Louis.

We're the Only Ones Career-Enhancing Enough
A New Jersey police chief has been accused of offering a promotion to an officer in exchange for sex with the officer’s wife and daughter... [More]While it's important to keep the word "alleged" in mind, what's a certainty is that between accuser and accused, one of them is a ruthless liar with a badge and a gun in a state where "civilian" carry is discouraged by "law."
So Much for Staying in Their Lane
Reporters picked up on the difference and called the 'doctoring' of the map 'Sharpiegate'. [More]That's not the job of "reporters." That the job of snarky, overtly partisan opinion writers.
That's the Old Pepper!
After the recent mass shooting tragedies, there couldn’t be a better time to unite and embrace the bipartisan legacy left by leaders like Pepper, O’Neill, Dole and Grassley.

A Leopard Doesn't Change Its Spots
A well-known Trump supporter turned Elizabeth Warren backer on Friday admitted that he was "really an idiot" to think that Donald Trump would be a good president. [More]He's still an idiot. And most likely made phony Trump support "well-known" (I never heard of him, have you?) just to ultimately set up a media stunt like this. That would also make him a liar, then and now, right alongside the FakeNewsweek propagandists.
