A Criminal Mastermind
We're the Only Ones Negligent Enough
Authorities said the conviction didn’t come up during an initial background check. When Martin tried to get a concealed carry license that same year, however, a background check at that point revealed the conviction. Martin was denied the license. His FOID card was revoked, and Martin was supposed to turn in his gun. [More]So that last part is the punch line?

GIGO
The CDC acknowledges its estimates are unreliable, but as it’s the nation’s premier public health agency, its figures are still widely used by researchers, journalists and the general public. [More]And don't forget by lawmakers!
That's OK. As long as the object is to "look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes. Now it [sic] is dirty, deadly, and banned,” who needs facts when we can always create and then play on fear?

UPDATE: Bear crunches some numbers.
Standard Fare
Given the lack of criminality associated with silencers, it is reasonable to conclude that they should not be viewed as a threat to public safety necessitating NFA classification... [More]But everybody "knows" bump stocks were used because they were found on some of the guns. Besides, people have heard the audio. And all the "news" stories say they were.
And those of us pointing out the inconvenient truths that on-scene ATF personnel were not ALLOWED to examine the firearms for internal components and that no technical examination report has been produced have taken no small amount of heat for being straw-grasping conspiracists. That's despite the fact that our claim is not that they weren't used, which we have no knowledge to make, but that it has not been proven that they were -- yet the rule was issued and is being defended in spite of that.
On the other hand, we have direct sworn testimony showing the initial decision against Akins was political and overrode technical and legal counsel.
But we're the tinfoil kooks because we're looking for the answer to one simple, easy-enough-to-answer question: Why no report?
The End Result
Young Americans are embracing socialism [More]They have purposely not been invested in our history and economy by the enemies directing the manipulation.
I could rely on manufacturing jobs when I was their age that, depending on how we applied ourselves, provided a base from which the next plateau was attainable. I also was raised in a culture that, bottom line, taught me to view America as a special idea deserving of my loyalty.
Between the subversives controlling "public education" and that so many of the new generation are stuck in crap service jobs, I can see how a young person who can't afford health care, let alone see any chance of owning real property, would disparage "the system."
That's simplistic, of course, and it's a lot bigger than that, but what we're seeing is a generation that reflects these factors and more. What they don't realize is we're being worked on and divided by a common enemy.
No Repercussions?
And where Congress would face deep reprisal in the next election, faceless judges will never feel the heat. [More]If their treason brings the whole house of cards down, that could change.

An unidentified woman was reportedly ejected from a Connecticut gun hearing Monday after she was spotted sending a text threatening to shoot a lawmaker and NRA members. [More]Identify her. I want to see her Facebook page before she pulls it down to run away.

But Santuaries for Future Democrats are Fine
Illinois State Rep. Terra Costa Howard (D) is pushing legislation to make it illegal for counties to declare “Second Amendment Sanctuary” status. [More]So I guess she'll be a no-go on Mutual Defense Pact counties and Confiscation-Free Zones?
It seems if she gets this passed and it's upheld, the precedent could be used against "sanctuary cities" for illegals. Except the same rules never apply for "progressives," do they?

It doesn't strain the imagination to surmise that the prospect of splitting up Google Search and its ad businesses wasn't well received in Mountain View. And Amazon's executives probably aren't too welcoming of a proposal to bar the company from selling directly on its own marketplace. [More]A government big enough to "regulate" your enemies is big enough to "regulate" you.
I would not look for a sudden change of heart and newfound "conservatism," though. After being publicly sodomized by DOJ, Bill Gates went all Stockholm Syndromed for Big Government on us, and I expect Bezos 'n Zuck et al. to embrace the haze.

Ultimately, What's the 'Lesser Evil' Here?
“In what should have been a reminder to the president’s counselors that in politics as in life it is important to never forget who your friends are,” Dobbs said. [More]Word. You'd think a guy supposedly smart enough to win at 3D chess would know that, especially when beset by enemies on all sides.
With the new tack by the Democrats to show an overt Marxist bent, it's like the Establishment is testing how far they can scare the "Republican" electorate into accepting betrayals.
'Doing Something'
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation Friday requiring background checks for virtually all firearm sales in New Mexico. The bill has been a priority for gun control advocates, who argue the measure merely closes a loophole in state law and will help keep weapons out of the hands of people barred from owning firearms. [More]Of course it won't.
Only a liar would say it will. Only a moron would believe it.
We're the Only Ones Working Out Enough
An officer with the Denver Police Department charged with assaulting a handcuffed man is now working a desk job at the department. Corporal Michael Oestmann worked out a plea deal on assault charges earlier this week. [More]So he did it while moonlighting in uniform, meaning under color of authority? And he's not been fired, arrested and facing charges because? That's some "robust internal investigation," there, DPD.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Emergency' Is
House Democrats are poised to approve new funding for gun violence research in the face of what they say is a “public health emergency” killing thousands of Americans every year. [More]But the border isn't one.
Still, they do have a point-- Democrat constituencies breaking Democrat gun laws in Democrat strongholds are definitely a national problem for the Democrats they overwhelmingly kill.
The Flaw in the Argument
The researchers also find a clear correlation between looser laws, the resultant increase in gun ownership and the subsequent rise in mass shootings.
