. . . it turns out most of the prosecutions are in New York City, and are for unlicensed handgun possession, a crime before the SAFE Act but which the SAFE Act raised from a misdemeanor to a felony.
Gun control: What you do instead of something.
The idiotic, socialist mayor of NYC says the recent increase in stabbings is because of the gun laws. Obviously, more knife laws are needed so more people can get hit with bats.
Two police officers in Baltimore claim their service weapons discharged while holstered. It is possible there was some sort of mechanical failure but odds are significantly against that. More likely a booger hook on the bang switch. Or possibly a draw string from a jacket in the holster.
For you locals, contact your reps: Permitless Carry Legislation Pending Committee Hearings
Meanwhile, some progress: A bill that would reduce gun permit fees another main piece of Gov. Bill Haslam’s legislative agenda received approval from a panel of lawmakers on Wednesday.
It’s amusing. While discussing your white privilege, don’t use the n word.
Tiny sombreros are not OK. Fur hats for commies are OK.
Tolerance: Lefties get bonkers over Jenner’s fondness for Ted Cruz.
Keanu can shoot:
I hadn’t heard.
An interesting read on how the left created Donald Trump. Well, so did the GOP establishment. I mean, they told us to put them in charge and they’d stop Obama. And then nothing.
And this cracked me right up:
We’re building a great handbasket, @iowahawkblog, the fastest handbasket ever. It’ll be *yuge*!
And for Hillary, well, this is interesting news:
Justice Dept. grants immunity to staffer who set up Clinton email server
Quick, somebody check to see if Al Gore shaved his beard and lost some weight.
From Aaron Clarey, The Curse of the High IQ. So far, it’s a pretty good look at problems I’d never before associated with being smarter than the average bear. The average bear is still pretty stupid though.
February was the third biggest month ever for NICS checks, a measure of gun sales.
CNN says 1 in 5 mass shooters stopped by potential victims.
When you’ve lost CNN . . .
TN has a law that says the police must sell confiscated guns. The press freaks out.
West Virginia to go permitless carry
Alabama permit holders to be exempt from additional background checks.
Sorry, took a test today. My brain and reading comprehension are all out for today. So, here’s a suppressed SBR Mosin Nagant:
Do you want Donald Trump? Because this is how you get Donald Trump.
People seem to be taking measured bites out of the shit sandwich instead of focusing on the fact that it’s a shit sandwich.
I kinda thought the reform in the GOP would come from libertarians or conservatives. Instead, they’ll just burn themselves down. This will be interesting to watch.
Pro gun people for Hillary? From a person who wants to carry a .380:
I think everybody that’s buying these big, high-powered rifles nowadays,” she said, “what do you need that for?
None of your damned business.
Nearby houses evacuated because someone found 75 rounds of ammo. Evacuated because somebody doesn’t know anything about ammo. Shockingly, it was in Texas.
Justice Thomas spoke at the court for the first time in about a decade. He asked about a gun case:
Thomas asked the Justice Department lawyer defending the governments prosecution whether the violation of any other law suspends a persons constitutional rights
I can only think of some states’ voting laws, but that’s not federal.
Did twitter help destroy the small blog? Could be. Facebook too. Folks began to have their conversations on facebook because it was easier. There are a lot of folks I made connections with who no longer read this blog but who I still engage on the bookface. Twitter allowed everyone to become Instapundit.
So, a guy gets upset and goes to work, where he kills four and injures fourteen. He had to have a third party buy his guns for him because he was a prohibited person:
Authorities on Friday were investigating whether the man who opened fire on co-workers at a Hesston, Kansas, industrial plant used guns purchased through a third party and not at a licensed gun dealer because his criminal background prevented him from buying guns legally, law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News
The police had served him a restraining order just before the rampage, making him a double prohibited person:
A gunman who fatally shot three people and injured 14 others on Thursday began his rampage not long after he was served with a restraining order aimed at barring him from contact with someone he had abused, authorities said Friday.
And then he violated company policy by taking his double plus illegal possession of guns to work.
With Scalia’s death, The New York State Rifle and Pistol association is not seeking cert.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
