Myths reversed

Never rob a house using a gun the homeowner will simply take it away from you and use it against you

Kinda stabby lately

In Belgium, a mass stabbing. This one at a daycare. And one reported earlier at VT.

In New Jersey, 30 days does not mean 30 days.

There’s a reason why companies largely don’t offer defined benefit plans anymore

Some Good News

Hillary Clinton’s replacement, Kristen Gillibrand, is reportedly pro-gun:

A big gun supporter, she’s been given a 100% approval rating by the NRA — she’s one of the extremely few Democrats on a federal level to win official NRA endorsement — and, this fall, she voted in favor of a controversial bill to repeal District of Columbia laws prohibiting the possession of semiautomatics.

From her website:

I, like many natives of Upstate New York, grew up in a hunting family and own a gun. I learned at an early age how to safely handle a gun and I believe that every law-abiding citizen should always have the right to own arms.

The Second Amendment of the Constitution prohibits the federal government from denying law-abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms. And I intend to uphold this right through my votes and actions in Congress.

More Democrats like this, please.

Update: And she’s pissing off the right people:

“I’ve spent 15 years trying to prevent gun violence in this country, and if he does pick her and if no one goes and primaries her, I will primary her,” McCarthy said. “I will do that. I’m not going to give up on this. I’m not going to let New York State get represented by someone who gets a 100 percent rating from the NRA.”

With bonus STFU from Chuck Schumer (D-Own Gravitational Field).

Obama Action Figure

I doubt the one with the gun is accurate since we know he doesn’t think people should own them.

Results

Bloggers increase number of NRA memberships. I’m sure there’s more. After all, not everyone reported that a blog inspired them to join. I know there were people who mentioned joining in comments here and I inspired at least two other bloggers to join. Hard to keep an accurate tally since we have a lot of lurkers that read the gun blogs.

Lists

David notes that Mayors Against Guns hasn’t updated their list of members to reflect certain changes.
