Attacking Shooting Sports Proves Brady’s Motives Are Sinister
From Ammoland:
“Retailers sell more firearms and ammunition,” the report observes. “More controversially, the National Rifle Association stands to bolster its ranks with youth trap shooters by donating millions to the sport, unnerving advocates of gun-violence prevention.”
That’s followed by the ominous section heading: “Targeting youth.” That means it’s time to befoul the punch bowl, and who better to do it than a career prohibitionist?
The Fantastically Safe AR
From Handwaving Freakoutery:
AR-15 murders are somewhere between “Death By Bucket” and “Death By Lawnmower” in the United States. They’re a little bit more common than getting struck by lightning, a little over half as common as “Death By Bees,” and less than a tenth as likely as “Death By Falling Out Of Bed.” Over twice as many people kill themselves during masturbation as die from AR-15 murders, and triple the number of people die by hitting errant deer with their cars at night as are murdered by AR-15. Feel free to check the sources, they’re in the graph. I have never yet heard a politician claim we were experiencing an Epidemic of Death By Lawnmower.
There were 24.4 million MSRs / “Assault Weapons” in circulation in 2020, and 60 murders per year. That means there are 0.0000025 murders per gun, or stated another way, there is only one AR-15 murder for every four hundred thousand AR-15s in circulation.
Marksmanship In Across Cultures
From Kulak:
The Taliban it seems are really bad shots. Of the 93 enemy sniper ops included in the Afghanistan data set 67 resulted in no Casualties at all, the insurgents or Taliban simply rode up on a motorcycle to some range, fired 1 or 2 shots that missed, and rode away. Of the remaining 26, 6 resulted in only enemy casualties, with the remaining 20 being something of a mess of friendly wounded and enemy casualties, in only one incident is a coalition fighter, a member of the 1st Royal Anglian, killed by sniper fire, and in two incidents are Friendly host nation forces killed, only one of which looks like a traditional sniper attack (the other is a messy assault that really stretches the definition).
BBC Accused of Spreading Disinformation By “Fact Checkers”
From Breitbart:
In the very first instalment of BBC Radio 4’s Marianna in Conspiracyland podcast, which detailed the supposed radicalisation of people in the sleepy town of Totnes in Western England, Spring falsely claimed that Benjamin’s YouTube channel Sargon of Akkad is currently suspended by the platform. Although the British conservative political commentator is currently more active on his Lotus Eaters channel, his original YouTube channel is not blocked and is still occasionally used by Benjamin. The channel was reportedly demonetised by YouTube in 2019.
IRS and ATF Raid Gun Store, Take Customer Records
From Gateway Pundit:
In an unprecedented move, twenty armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents carried out a raid on a gun store in Great Falls, Montana, seizing all Form 4473 – documents that record buyer’s information during firearms transactions.
Tom Van Hoose, owner of Highwood Creek Outfitters, alleges that he has been under constant surveillance by state and federal agencies for over two years, KRTV reported.
Bangor Daily News Does Real Reporting On Criminals Getting Guns
From Bangor Daily News:
A 2012 study of 253 people incarcerated for gun crimes found that about 40 percent were previously prohibited from having them. Those participants only occasionally got their guns from stores or pawn shops, and none reported using gun shows. Most were obtained from friends, family and dealers on the street — and were usually purchased or borrowed instead of stolen.
Interview With Print Shoot Repeat
From Skillset Magazine:
Whenever the subject of cool and unique 3D-printed guns comes up, the name Print Shoot Repeat will follow soon after. The undisputed king of 3D-printed guns on YouTube and social media, well at least when it comes to getting banned and deleted anyway.
Slate Begrudgingly Admits Felons Should Have Gun Rights
Like a growing number of public defenders, liberal judges like Freeman, Ambro, Greenaway, and Montgomery-Reeves may think that the Second Amendment can be repurposed as a weapon against over-policing and mass incarceration. If upheld by the Supreme Court, Range will certainly be a boon to the criminal defense bar, as well as a source of immense confusion for prosecutors. The majority’s standard is extraordinarily vague: It acknowledges that some people may be disarmed for committing a felony, but a person “like Range” could not. How can judges tell when someone falls on Range’s side of the line?
Anti-Lead Petition Rejected By Fish and Wildlife
From Guns.com:
In a surprise to many, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently rebuffed demands from a series of environmentalist groups to phase out the use of traditional ammunition and fishing tackle on public land.
The FWS, part of the Department of Interior, reports to Debra Haaland, a former Democrat lawmaker from New Mexico who was backed for her current position by well-known anti-hunting groups such as WildEarth Guardians and the HSUS. In 2022, the agency was presented with a 63-page petition from the Center for Biological Diversity – an activist organization that pro-gun groups have characterized as one that “fights against regulated sport hunting at nearly every opportunity” – to ban lead ammo and fishing gear on the more than 500 million acres of federal lands by 2024.
The Case For Banning Surveillance Ads
From The Electronic Freedom Foundation:
The behavioral advertising industry claims that it can deliver more value to everyone through this surveillance: advertisers get to target exactly who they want to reach; publishers get paid top dollar for setting up exactly the right user with exactly the right ad, and the user wins because they are only ever shown highly relevant ads that are tailored to their interests.
And as to the claim that users “like ads, so long as they are relevant,” the evidence is very strong that this isn’t true and never was. Ad-blocking is the most successful consumer boycott in human history. When Apple gave iPhone users a one-click opt-out to block all surveillance ads, 96 percent of users clicked the button (presumably, the other four percent were confused, or they work for ad-tech companies).
Article III Project Statement About FBI Destroying Clinton Foundation Investigation Docs
From The Article III Project:
“The FBI knew then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had an illegal home server with America’s most classified secrets, almost certainly hacked by our worst enemies. The FBI also knew Hillary’s illegal home server contained evidence of the Clinton Foundation’s illegal pay-for-play bribery schemes. The FBI knew Hillary obstructed justice by destroying this server in the face of a congressional subpoena.
“So what did the FBI do? The FBI destroyed the remaining evidence. And the FBI colluded with 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, President Obama, Vice President Biden, the Obama Attorney General, the Obama CIA director, and others to launch the baseless Russian collusion hoax against presidential candidate Donald Trump. The resulting bogus Crossfire Hurricane investigation led to 3 years of hobbling the Trump presidency.
Over Half of Protestant Churches Have Armed Members
From Ammoland:
The revelation comes 3 ½ years after a gunman opened fire at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, only to be shot dead by armed parishioner Jack Wilson just a few seconds later. The shooting, which was live streamed at the time—the video warped across social media—shows at least a half-dozen armed citizens in the church sanctuary with drawn guns after Wilson fired the single shot that stopped killer Keith Thomas Kinnunen before he could wreak more havoc.
