Federal judge upholding SAFE Act gun ban relied on unsupported assumptions

“The decision relied heavily on testimony by George Mason University criminology professor Chris Koper, who argued ‘that the criminal use of assault weapons declined after the federal assault-weapons ban was enacted in 1994, independently of trends in gun crime,’” Lott wrote. “But Koper’s two studies on the 1994 federal assault-weapons ban don’t support his claims.” [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes once more how little sway simple things we should be able to take for granted, like the Constitution and basic facts, have in federal courts these days. Which means things are going to get real interesting if the antis get what they want.

Me, I'd rather fall asleep on the couch watching an old movie. If you're on Disqus, feel free to engage without me.

Another Child Gun Death

Again, we shouldn't give a damn if this feral little savage is a minor.  We should want to know what the dangers in our AOs are. [More]

Oh, and looky here:

The victim did not resist and complied with all demands, police said, but the gunman still opened fire.

Don't listen to Moms Demand Field Corn by giving them what they want. Give them what they deserve.

Operation American Spring

I was just sent the link to this website. It looks like it has quite a bit of interesting information. [More]

I Don't Wanna Grow Up, I'm a Thugs "я" Us Kid...

He is not releasing their identities at this point because they are juveniles. [More]

Why would the right to know who these sociopathic little reptiles are so people can take appropriate precautions not trump that?

Oh, and boys: Nice burkas, morons.

An Open Mind

Good for Detroit Police Chief James Craig. [More]

I need to keep an open mind, too. Maybe I misjudged him.

Sorry, but the thought of PB having a negligent discharge while wearing his “Hercules” ring is almost funny. [More]

Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes when it comes to gun safety, no amount of fancy subdermal RFID implants will ever replace good old-fashioned keeping your freaking booger hook off the danged bang switch. So there’s gotta be another reason behind these abominations...but what...?

One Question

He didn't exactly sink the Bismarck, but Horwitz, Gross, Sugarmann and Pinciaro do pretty much float the same ideology.

Survey SAYS

They lost me at "most voters." [More]

That's due in no small part to most voters not knowing what the hell an "assault weapon" is, thanks to a lying media that won't even correct their "mistakes" when told about them.
