We're the Only Ones More Criminally Inclined Enough

“We find that permit holders are convicted of misdemeanors and felonies at less than a sixth the rate for police officers,” the report says. “Among police, firearms violations occur at a rate of 16.5 per 100,000 officers. Among permit holders in Florida and Texas, the rate is only 2.4 per 100,000.10. That is just one-seventh of the rate for police officers.” [More]

Which perfectly explains why they can be trusted to go armed in "gun free zones" and you can't.  At least by Opposite Day "progressives."

This is useful data to have and to promulgate.  That said, I know peaceable gun owners who will not get a "permit" out of principle  -- but there's no real way to collect data on them since they're not inclined to share personal information about themselves or their guns.

What guns?

2 Smart By Half

Developers test Smart 2 Saf-T-Jacket, designed to keep
gun from being fired until owner can demonstrate he
is not acting rashly or without focused deliberation. 

San Diego-based Safety First Arms has created the Smart 2, a gun that is locked and unlocked using a PIN number, which can unlock the weapon in less than a second.  [More]

Sure it can. Under ideal conditions. That means in the light. In a laboratory. Under no stress. It does not mean in the dark, roused from sleep by the sounds of an intruder, fumbling frantically while your hands shake, your heart pounds and an unknown someone draws…closer. Mess up and guess what?

Everybody remember this?

"Dennis Henigan of the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence drops the ball in front of a roomful of reporters, while trying to prove the efficacy of Saf-T-Lok, a purportedly easy-to-use combination lock in the gun's grip. Henigan fumbles and fails to unlock the gun in a well-lit room with no intruder at the door... Finally disengaging the safety, he apologizes, 'Most people aren't as klutzy as I am.'" -From "Lawyers, Guns and Money" by Matt Labash, The Weekly Standard, Feb. 1, 1999

Catch-22

A Muslim flight attendant has sued ExpressJet, accusing the airline of wrongly suspending her because she refused to serve alcohol to passengers ... ExpressJet didn't provide a reasonable religious accommodation... [More]

Yeah, like refusing to have anything to do with gay stuff...

Wedding cake...?

I wonder what she'd do if she'd applied for a job in a sausage factory  -- aside from having CAIR sue them on her behalf.  And Allah (blessed be his name) help you if you don't hire an employee based on their self-imposed "religious" restrictions.

Unless they're one of those domestic extremist homegrown terrorist Christian haters...

And That's It Right There in a Nutshell

We simply cannot sit idly by and let Hillary change the Supreme Court to an Anti-Second Amendment rubber stamp for the gun control lobby. [More]

It will be one or the other, Trump or Hillary. There's no value judgment or endorsement or argument implied by that observation. It is simply a mathematical reality based on probabilities that neither you nor I would have the power to change if we dropped everything we're doing right now and devoted our lives to an alternative outcome.

Like it or not, this is the way things are...
