And I bet they save up for some malt liquor too Tam pretty much dismisses it for the absolute stupidity that it is.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

My personal favorite supposed refutation of libertarians is that we advocate freedom for those who can afford it. But one other one is you’re just a Republican who wants to do drugs. Both are stupid. The latter is summed up by Tam: All the probulating, door-kicking, snooping and spying, asset forfeiting, and armored personnel carriering […]

Once again, the myth that 90% of guns in Mexico come from American gun shows is busted.

In comments, Sebastian takes the press to task. It’s pretty funny how they don’t think of the obvious. And Rusty has more.

Jake: Notice the very important but understated qualifier in that second paragraph: “three out of four guns used in crimes in Mexico and submitted for tracing“ Meanwhile, it’s not just Texas: Florida among the biggest sources of guns used in crimes in Mexico

I thought those mortars and machine guns were coming from US gun shows?

Former Ambassadors to Mexico say we should pass an assault weapons ban.

Short version: if you disagree, you’re a racist. Continuing to kill the word racist.

Bob: an ATF official testified in Congress that only eight percent of weapons recovered in Mexico came through licensed U.S. gun dealers. I thought it was 90%? That’s what the press, the administration, and the anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) tell me?

Kurt Hofmann: The continued retreat from the ‘90%’ claim regarding U.S. guns in Mexico

Ted Novin: The report, which NSSF is still reviewing, appears to be rife with error. It looks like GAO may have hired a Violence Policy Center shill to write parts of it. Of course, it’s not like the VPC has anything else to do.

David Codrea: Mexican warehouse exposes gun grabber cartel lies

I’m guessing they got that airsoft gun at a gun show? And ATF probably can’t trace it.

Investors Business Daily calls it bogus. Wayne LaPierre: They’re trying to piggyback this whole phony issue on the back of the tragedy in Mexico

Once more, with feeling. Yon is still bitterly clinging to the Mexican Gun Canard. When he’s not calling us fanatics for pointing out facts and stuff, he’s happily parroting talking points that have been proven false. The latest is Yon’s re-publishing a rebuttal to a FoxNews piece by Todd Bensman. You see, you should take […]

Steve debunks the canard by actually looking at the confiscated arms. The LAW, M249 beltfed machinegun, and the fragmentation grenades are not coming from US gun shows. Meanwhile, this is brilliant. You see, the guns do come from here. Except we are smuggling them from US gun shows to Guatemala. Then Guatemalans smuggle them in […]

Don: if you were a leader in a Mexican cartel with access to rifles, ammunition, grenades and RPG’s from Mexican military arsenals, M16 rifles and ammunition from scavengers all over South America who have old American military exports to sell on the cheap, and a dozen other sources . . . would you be sending […]

According to polls, the American people are not buying it: The poll, which was conducted March 20-23 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.5 percentage points, asked 4,523 likely voters: “Mexican officials, gun control groups and officials at the Department of Homeland Security claim drug cartels are crossing the U.S. border in order […]

Once more, it’s misleading. The other biased Washington paper reports: Mexico has long tried to get the United States to curtail the number of guns – many purchased legally – that wind up south of the border, where gun laws are much stricter. The State Department says firearms obtained in the United States account for […]

A look at Mexican gun laws in action. Meanwhile, insty notes that the canard of Military hardware flowing into Mexico from the US is being parroted by the press. The LA Times (yes, that LA Times) who is known to shill for any anti-gun cause notes: Most of these weapons are being smuggled from Central […]

It keeps coming. Except that it’s not real. Testimony from law enforcement officials concludes that, generally, military hardware is not flowing into Mexico from the United States. We gun nuts have been saying that for years. More testimony here. The experts on the panel do not conclude that more gun control is the answer. But […]

You would expect a retired general to know guns. You’d be wrong. He does, however, know his PSH: Mexican law enforcement authorities and soldiers face heavily armed drug gangs with high-powered military automatic weapons. Perhaps 90% of these weapons are smuggled across the US border. They are frequently purchased from licensed US gun dealers in […]

Libertarianism can’t work, you need only watch an episode of Cops. I forgot I said that. Heh. Any hoo: Every once in a while, Tom gets it in his head to make the assertion that a criticism of something is invalid unless the person doing the criticizing offers a better plan. Sorry, but that’s horseshit. […]

First, we saw it here: The proposed changes come at a time when the FBI is reporting a rise in violent crime, especially in mid-size cities. Police are beginning to tie newly legalized assault weapons with increased gang violence. (When Congress refused to renew the ban on assault rifles two years ago, who did it […]

The Brady Campaign to Cling to Relevancy is calling the national reciprocity bill the Zimmerman Bill.

SAF explains why they, and Dudley Brown, are unserious and wh you should ignore them: In his latest effort to raise money for his own self-aggrandizement, Dudley Brown has launched a vicious canard against Alan Gottlieb, accusing the veteran gun rights advocate of “Leading the fight for national gun registration.”

And then, twice in one day. The Brady Campaign to Cling to Relevancy pulls out the old NRA supports terrorists canard.

This is one of the dumbest canards ever. I’m sure prohibition saved just one life. Our onerous drug laws have probably saved just one life. Not signing the declaration if independence would have saved just one life. Not going to war in WW2 would have saved just one life. And on and on. Some things, […]

The old ‘your vote for the wookiee-suiter is wasted’ canard. By that non-rationale, any vote for anyone who didn’t win is “wasted”. I live in Tennessee which is projected to go to Romney by like 18 points. So any vote cast in this state not for Romney is “wasted”. So, we should all wait and […]
