Enemies Foreign and Domestic
Just Give Them What They Want?
A young British mom was murdered in front of her baby daughter in Greece on Tuesday as she tried to hide from burglars who tied up her husband and hanged their dog outside their house, according to police. [More]
And they don't kill the one witness who can provide authorities with clues?
ANTs in her Pants
Let’s examine what happens when a fatal shooting occurs: Is it the gun that kills people, as gun control advocates insist? Or is it the person holding the gun, as gun rights advocates insist? ANT would say the answer lies in a different question, highlighting the matrix that enables the action: the pull of the trigger, the explosion of gunpowder, even the humidity of the air that the bullet travels through to reach its target. [More]
I'm not sure where she's going with this, but I won't be surprised to find out humidity is racist.

Learn to Think Like Someone Who Chose to be Unarmed [More]
I tried and then choked on the grass.
Candidly, I also don't see much point, but then, my niche is no longer about trying to argue the self-destructive and the closed-minded off the ledge.
U.S. Media to Pravda and Izvestia: Hold Our Vodka
At no point during the discussion did Pope disclose to the audience or to the other attendees that the Trace and the Dart Center were both on the payroll of the country’s wealthiest gun-controller. [More]
Name a DSM outlet that's not on the payroll of wealthy gun controllers.
They Needed a Study?
Gun buyback programs (GBPs), which use public funds to purchase civilians' privately-owned firearms, aim to reduce gun violence. However, little is known about their effects on firearm-related crime or deaths. Using data from the National Incident Based Reporting System, we find no evidence that GBPs reduce gun crime. Given our estimated null findings, with 95 percent confidence, we can rule out decreases in firearm-related crime of greater than 1.3 percent during the year following a buyback. Using data from the National Vital Statistics System, we also find no evidence that GBPs reduce suicides or homicides where a firearm was involved. [More]
That's not why the antis hold them, is it?

A Preemptive Strike
DeSantis signed the bill (SB 1884) on Friday after the Republican-controlled Legislature passed it in party-line votes late last month. The bill, which will take effect July 1, will broaden a 2011 law that can make local governments pay as much as $100,000 in damages if they are sued for imposing gun regulations. [More]
Just a thought about unintended consequences, so someone with legal knowledge please give me a read here: Could that be used against "Second Amendment Sanctuary" cities and counties?

The Crappiest Place on Earth
Disney asks employees to complete 'white privilege checklist,' insists America was founded on 'systemic racism,' according to leaked documents [More]
And what screams that louder than Main Street USA, Frontierland, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Mark Twain Riverboat?
And let's not forget their Dumbo and Peter Pan rides, celebrating cartoons they now issue warnings over because of the crows and the "redskins"...
Or "Snow White"...
It would seem the woker they get, the more they paint themselves into a corner...
Maybe if they tore down the statue...
And just to keep things on theme for this blog, everybody knows about the guns, right...?

And This Surprises Who...?
Attorney General Bill Barr threatened to quit last year over Trump's attempts to fire FBI Director Chris Wray [More]
Some of us had sounded the alarm on both Barr and Wray. How do you keep The Swamp out when you keep letting it in?
Maybe the reason Trump is so good at firing people is that he's so crappy at hiring them.

So Much for Your Body Your Choice
Casual sex will be allowed again for the first time this year as part of the Government's latest lifting of lockdown measures. [More]
Some don't wait for permission.
And the answer, I'm afraid, is still "No."
