The Undiscovered Country
Research by David Hemenway and Sara J. Solnick has shown that children under 14 in the United States have far higher rates of unintentional firearm death than children in other developed countries... [More]Which countries would those be? You guys didn't leave out Russia and Mexico again, did you?
And how come the linked "study" refers to "high income countries" in its citation? Is that synonymous with "developed"? Can't be too careful using precise terminology in studies, you know.
Because the source for the cite further qualifies things as "23 populous high-income Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development countries that provided data to the World Health Organization for 2003."
So we're not even current but we're still coming up with new conclusions? And it's only those that reported to WHO? This is starting to remind me of the "Mexican crime guns" scam-- first it was 95% came from U.S. gun shops and it whittled its way down to 70% of those recovered and reported, which ended up being something like 17% in one report I saw, which again had no correlation with the full auto stuff, grenades, etc. coming in from Guatemala and points unknown.
Then, of course, we need to break our own internal numbers down further and see how many domestic problems came from which population, and lo and behold- - I'll bet you could look at the stats for NRA members, arguably the most armed to the teeth civilian population on the planet, and our rates would approach statistical insignificance.

I agree.It's amazing to me -- and disappointing -- that among people with any kind of influence in gun rights advocacy, and especially among the more popular "gun bloggers," voices sounding the warning are so few.

Some documents have been received now, reams of 'em, and perhaps there's a flood-'em-with-accumulated-ordure strategy in that as well.
Anyway, if you're interested in how ATF makes decisions on who it's going to inflict itself on -- and especially if they treat everyone the same -- just wading through all this stuff and trying to make sense of it will give you some idea of how to BEGIN trying to find out.
This is what searchable databases were made for. As opposed to using them to single out gun owners.
Everyone realizes the work it's going to take to make something useful out of this, and that nobody's doing it because it's lucrative...? On a scale of the labors of Hercules on one end and typing "Molon Labe!" comments under blog posts on the other, this one rates on the hard end.

Demand for More Evidence Only Helps NRA Ignore Amnesty Danger to Gun Rights

Rest in peace, Lee Reherman. [More]
He lived a few blocks from where I used to in Manhattan Beach. I got to know him from when I worked with him for a few years on fundraising with fireworks. He was helping low-income kids get martial arts training along with the needed discipline and caring adult guidance that went with it.
He wasn't just muscle. He handled the books for that nonprofit, had an MBA and at one time was going for a doctorate in economics.
I'd lost touch with him, fewer than a dozen emails over the years, but got a pleasant jolt watching the Star Trek reboot, when the security guard he played confronted Simon Pegg's "Scotty" and I immediately recognized who it was. That's pretty surreal if it's totally outside your life experience -- to go to the movies and suddenly see a closeup of someone you know on the screen. At least that's my excuse for exclaiming "That's Lee!"

Mark DeMoss, who for many years served as chief of staff to Falwell Sr. and considered the televangelist a second father, said in an interview that it was a mistake for Falwell Jr. to endorse Trump. He said the Republican front-runner’s insult-laden campaign has been a flagrant rejection of the values Falwell Sr. espoused and Liberty promotes on its campus.

DeMoss continued: “I have trouble defending a position that says there should be no restrictions on any guns or ammunition, and this slippery slope argument that if you allow the slightest bit of [gun] control, then that’s the start of taking away all our freedoms.And yeah, I know all about Trump's troublesome past statements. He disavows them now, which many understandably don't trust, so I recommend continuing to press him on unequivocal and substantive commitments that he won't be able to weasel-word his way out of if he reverses polarity.

I Guess We Could Start with 'California'
For NRA to expand into “scoring” votes on immigration (not to mention re-calling Grover Norquist from the NRA Board of Directors), there needs to be more evidence than just some adverse polling data.

Iran’s Islamic Republic ‘News’ and Domestic Gun-Grabbers Sabotaging Gun Safety for Iowa Children
Taking the cake for media manipulation may be PressTV, a state-owned affiliate of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

- agree that all Second Amendment cases brought before the court be considered under strict scrutiny.
- acknowledge that the legal concept "in common use at the time" refers, at a minimum, to weaponry carried by soldiers for battlefield use, in addition to those commonly used for self-defense and sport, and that it will include technological advancements so that new "arms" used for those purposes cannot be denied to We the People.

I’ve read the exit polls from Tuesday’s Republican caucus. Even with record turnout, an alarming majority of GOP voters are uninformed or indifferent about Bloomberg’s Universal Background Check ballot initiative. [More]That's OK. That's Nevada, and we don't live there.
We can ignore it and procrastinate and not get worried until Bloomberg is trying to ram it down our throats where we live, right? Then we can ask gun owners who don't live in our state for help! That and post "Molon Labe!" comments.
Carjacking Gone Wrong
A simple errand at the mall turns into a dangerous situation when a carjacker grabs the purse of a woman as she exits her vehicle. Outraged, the woman jumps on the hood of the car as the carjacker tries to make his getaway. [More]This week on "Stop the Threat"...
The Dark Magic Kingdom
In-your-face Illuminati/Satanic symbolism and imagery, brought to you by The Happiest Place on Earth! [Watch]
Even if you don't buy into supernatural conspiracy stuff, what's undeniable is powerful forces find it useful -- and profitable -- to promulgate.
Oh, did I say "you"? Yeah, but primarily it's made for a target audience:
But what the hell do I know?

Aimed primarily at children...The parents of kids left to absorb this crap unattended, for the most part, based on manifested cultural priorities, are already locked in.
But what the hell do I know?

Really? How much South LA gang violence has he ended?
And curious, isn't it, that he reacts to ideological differences by throwing down challenges to engage in violence...? Along with how the parasite Marxists running plunder-funded indoctrination camps presume to dictate terms and conditions for speech they will allow...?
We're the Only Ones Grabbed by the Long Arm of the Law Enough
Cop Caught Masturbating To Cell Phone Porn In Patrol Car Is Arrested For Misconduct [More]I guess when you're empowered to screw people at random, you sometimes prefer the simplicity of a little "me" time...
"Marshall Hardin"? What is this, an Onion article? That's like the best aptronym ever.
Looking Out for Their Own
Wirth, 58, is described online an activist with the Occupy Denver movement. [More]That must explain why this story isn''t being exploited on the CSGV and Moms Demand Facebook pages...

Untruth in Labeling Act
Douthat bills himself as a conservative, but in his latest column for the New York Times he concludes that “President Hillary” would be a better choice for America than “our own nuclear-armed Berlusconi”. [More]Kind of like Joe Scarborough presents himself as a Republican, and Bill Maher calls himself a libertarian. That way The Times can bill themselves as fair because they give everyone a voice-- kind of like the time they ganged half-a-dozen anti-gunners up against me, which proved to be about as much challenge as fighting five-year-olds.
This Douchehat character is a a real piece of ... work. I can't find the tweet in question, making me think it has been pulled, but I did find one from the day before envisioning the assassination of Trump that's still up at this writing:
The Truman Show
Some of those scripted lines, he says were provided by recent UCLA graduate Adam Swart, CEO of a company called Crowds on Demand, which will stage rallies and demonstrations for any almost candidate or cause. Swart says he has employed actors to sway city officials in meetings across the country. [More]And just think-- if one of those fraud actors ever hits the big time, adoring fans will cling to their every vapid political pronouncement, just like they're anything other than reliable emissaries for those who let them stay on the gravy train.
Going In for an Oil Change
Mike's gonna be in the shop on Friday until...? [More]
As I've urged before at such times, go easy on the emails and comments. Every time he has to stop what he;s doing to address your concerns, he's not addressing his, plus, none of us know what he's got to slog through to make it happen.
Everybody here has helped out, right?
Tell me you're not just ignoring it. Tell me you're worth the value he has given you.

Should We Elect An American President?
The “Natural Born Citizen” Issue Explained: It’s not a court issue—the Founders defined it—we’ve just forgotten. [More]True.
I could make the same statement about the Second Amendment, and about the targets of a lot of other infringements and usurpations. But that doesn't stop them from being decided in court.
And this one will be, too.
That said, Alan Korwin has written a supremely important piece here. It's no doubt going to infuriate some who, realizing the truth he shares, still demand it be otherwise for their guy.
Pissing people off is the Number One occupational hazard of being a truth-teller.
Take a few minutes and read the whole thing. Then make it today's Five-Minutes Activism project to share his link far and wide.
