There IS Something Seriously Wrong

There is something seriously wrong with our democracy when Congress will not act on something favored by 97 percent of the voters. [More]

Yeah, if Question 1, despite Bloomberg millions and a media blitz, passed by less than 1% of the vote (with what pushed it over the top being heavily-populated, Democrat-dominated Clark County), that figure must be right.

The reason we recognize unalienable rights is to protect the individual from an ignorant, manipulated and deluded majority.  And besides, who thinks the gun-haters will stop at "background checks"?

Real Women for Common Sense Gun Safety

The number of women taking concealed carry courses through the NCA is up 24% since the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida on February 14. It was the biggest 60-day jump ever for the NCA since July/August of 2016. [More]

Plaintiff Wanted -- Inquire Within

Hey good post guys, except that the receiver of an FN FAL (which is the gun actually depicted in this article, not an H&K G3), is steel. The receiver of an AR-15 is aluminum. So cutting aluminum with an oxy-acetylene torch, as you instruct, is going to result in splattering molten aluminium all over the place, instead of cleanly cutting through a ferrous metal, as an oxy-acetylene torched is designed to. Hopefully no one is injured a result of this plainly un-researched article, and if they are, I hope they have the sense to sue Rolling Stone for providing them with these instructions. Way to contribute to the uninformed static of the pro-gun control narrative. This is journalism as its best. [More]

Why did the accused Waffle House shooter get back his guns? [More]

We've already established that's the wrong question.  There's a reason people ask them.

Let's get to the whole point of this:

“Let’s be honest,” said Nashville Mayor David Briley (D). “Some people see these weapons as having a purpose of terrorizing other people. It’s happening too much. Enough is enough.” Indeed. The same type of weapon was used at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed; it was used in the 2017 slaughter of 25 worshipers at a rural Texas church; it was part of the arsenal used by the Las Vegas gunman who killed 58, and the shooter who killed 49 at an Orlando nightclub.These are not weapons needed for self-defense or hunting. They are designed to kill as many people as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The Missing Link

Received via email:

Hi David,

I noticed this article yesterday morning.

When I clicked the link for the abstract at SSRN in the story - it was available. I made a mental note to come back asap and download the article. Yesterday evening, the link was dead and the SSRN site indicated that the requested abstract was not found. I then did a search on the site and it listed 16 papers from Kleck, the first of which was the article in the story above entitled - What Do CDC's Surveys Say About the Frequency of Defensive Gun Uses?. Clicking on that link led to the same unfound abstract message as before.

I checked again this morning and received the same message from SSRN. However, after searching using Kleck's name, only 15 articles appear and the CDC article does not show anymore.

This seems like it's a little more than a glitch with SSRN's system. Although there may be other, simpler explanations.

Thanks,
MM

I got the same results and just don't have time to dig deeper. Perhaps one of you  has the site navigation expereince to guide us?  Otherwise, I'd suggest notifying AWR Hawkins, whose story led us there, and see if he and the Breitbart machine have the clout to find out why the "unpublished study" has apparently been buried deeper.

UPDATE:

David,
Looks like there was an appropriate reason for the article being pulled. It's good to see that the process of actual scientific inquiry still matters to some. 

From the Reason article on the subject: "UPDATE: You will note the original link doesn't work right now. It was pointed out to me by Robert VerBruggen of National Review that Kleck treats the CDC's surveys discussed in this paper as if they were national in scope, as Kleck's original survey was, but they apparently were not. From VerBruggen's own looks at CDC's raw data, it seems that over the course of the three years, the following 15 states were surveyed: Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. (Those states, from 2000 census data, contained around 27 percent of the U.S. population.) Informed of this, Kleck says he will recalculate the degree to which CDC's survey work indeed matches or corroborates his, and we will publish a discussion of those fresh results when they come in. But for now Kleck has pulled the original paper from the web pending his rethinking the data and his conclusions.

Thanks,
MM
