I'd expect reality to end up being more localized and less sensational, but I'm willing to be surprised.

Closing the 'No Database' Loophole
A new federal gun control bill calls for banks and credit card companies to provide transaction data to the feds on some firearms purchases. [More]Be aware, but don't spend too much energy at this point:

You'll either love "Brazil" and consider it genius or scratch your head after a few minutes and go "WTF?"
I'm in the former camp and even think Robert DeNiro did a good job -- and one he should have learned from.

This should also be a wake-up call for unconcerned Fudds, although I doubt it will be.
There are some sick and cowardly bitches out there that fantasize about our children being slaughtered. And invariably, they demand their "men" be castrated.

Who Cares What He Says?
That's a sentiment about my Eminem story that I've seen repeated in article comments and on social media.
It's wrong, of course. Case in point, Slime Shady makes inane claims and they get MILLIONS of views and supportive worldwide press. I make a detailed and documented rebuttal and despite many thousands of AmmoLand and WarOnGuns regulars, Facebook "friends" and Twitter "followers," so far, the piece has only garnered a modest handful of "shares."
There is no other publicity. None. Guess what the public is exposed to. Now guess why so many other efforts to disseminate the right information have gone nowhere.
I could just chalk it up to my writing sucks, but it's not limited to me and that doesn't explain why so many continue to return here every day. Surely there are more productive uses of their time.
We have the tools but only a handful ever picks them up and uses them. We have the potential to do so much more to reach outside the echo chamber (where even there this barely made a dent), but only a minuscule handful ever bother.

So Everytown raised a record 67 million dollars in 2018, according to their Form 990. According to the Schedule B, 39 million of that was raised from one donor. I think we can all guess who that is. But even Mike Bloomberg has friends. They raised 4 million more dollars in million dollar donations. That takes us up to 43 million raised from rich assholes. [More]
So all that Marxist railing against "the One Percent" is just a ploy that only the useful idiots parroting a scripted narrative actually believe...?
Good report, incidentally. It's a shame this kind of stuff has to be ferreted out by motivated individuals with limited resources and reach, but I guess the "real reporters" are occupied rewording press releases.
