The Truth About Guns

The Department of Justice under the current Biden administration, has introduced a new pair of gun control “rules” with the goal being to bring regulations into compliance with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA). 

The BSCA, mostly passed by Democrats, saw 15 “Republicans” led by John Cornyn (R-TX) abandoning their constituent base and values to back the proposal by their colleagues across the aisle who never fail to stand atop the graves of anyone to further their gun control agenda.

With the release of the Meta Quest 3s, I’ve noticed a number of VR shooting apps recommending it. After all, it’s cheaper, right!

Anyone can see the physical injuries caused from a violent attack, but sometimes there is mental trauma as well.  While those mental issues aren’t easily discerned by a casual observer, they can pose serious problems for the afflicted.

Leave it to Michigan’s Democratic lawmakers to trot out the tired old trope of “consumer protection” as an excuse to wage war on the firearm industry. Their latest legislative push, now advancing through the state House Judiciary Committee, proposes removing liability protections for gun manufacturers. The aim? To bypass federal protections under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) and bankrupt gun companies through an avalanche of lawsuits.

Let’s get one thing straight: the PLCAA doesn’t give gun manufacturers blanket immunity.

So-called Everytown for Gun Safety, which hasn’t been heard of in most towns in the nation and has hardly anything to do with gun safety, brags that its “Smoking Gun” project is dedicated to “exposing the gun industry’s role in our gun violence epidemic.”

Judging from its latest “exposé,” whoever is in charge there doesn’t know the difference between the truth and wildly exaggerated hype about a very important subject that we’ll set the record straight on here.

Florida may soon reclaim its “Gunshine State” moniker as Republican lawmakers introduce bills aimed at rolling back key gun restrictions enacted following the 2018 Parkland school shooting.

Gun ownership rates haven’t changed much since the 1960s, Gallup pollsters would have you believe. Gun ownership is actually two points lower today than it was in the 60s, the polling giant claims. 

According to Gallup, gun ownership data has been roughly the same for more than 60 years: 44% of Americans admit they have a gun in their home, but only 30% admit the gun is theirs and 14% say the gun isn’t theirs. 

This data, minus a point or two, has been used in Gallup’s stories for years. 

From an 11-year-old Gallup story titled Men, Married, Southerners Most Likely to Be Gun Owners, “an average of 30% of Americans said they personally own a gun.

I feel compelled to say upfront that what you’re about to read is real. You’re not being punk’d. We’re not even close to April Fools Day. Michigan lawmakers have donned their clown shoes and makeup as if participating in a “dumbest legislature” competition and have proposed a bill that targets what it calls “deceptively colored firearms.” Given that the introduction of such tomfoolery occurs during a lame-duck session, this level of stupidity on the taxpayer dime is still egregiously unacceptable.

Today’s feel-good Second Amendment news brings us to the Sunshine State of Florida, where activities are bountiful, from beautiful beaches to golf and nightlife. But if you’re in the mood to do some carjacking, you better think twice.
