The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
During the Right to Keep & Bear Arms Rally in Harrisburg, I tweeted about the mystery of Lenin’s face sculpted into our Capitol doors. Of course, I assumed it wasn’t really Lenin, but damn if it didn’t look just like him. Doing a bit of VPC-endorsed intensive research, the busts in the door are of … Continue reading “Why Does Lenin Greet Capitol Visitors?”
Days of our Trailer links to more VPC Google Research that creates assumptions out of thin air. Unfortunately, it’s not just the other side that engages in this. Over the past few days I’ve noticed some folks in our movement struggling with the fact that NRA seems to have gotten behind and passed a Constitutional … Continue reading “Making Crap Up”
According to Josh Sugarmann’s latest “study,” NRA is full of the next up and coming terrorists. What is their evidence? Someone who volunteers for NRA once posted photos of a tea party protest she did not attend. NRA sells shirts that come in XXXL! We can’t ignore that NRA is hosting a speaker who has … Continue reading “NRA is Full of Terrorists”
The VPC is hawking their most recent in their series of “Google Studies” proposes, this time, to show a massive increase in violence against law enforcement officers using so-called “assault weapons” in the past two years. What are Google Studies, you might ask? Anything you have to add this kind of disclaimer to: The information … Continue reading “More Desperate Grasps as Relevance”
This editorial could have been written by our friend Mark in the comments of a previous thread. Perhaps we are seeing a new tactic against concealed carry, to claim it’s just dangerous, and then say there’s no way to prove its safe because the evil gun lobby won’t let us see who has licenses. Good … Continue reading “Tracking the Blood in the Streets”
Got a person in the comments who is an opponent of concealed carry, and he’s made a claim I’m wondering if it can be disproved. Here’s the claim: And it remains true that no private citizen without law enforcement background has ever used a legally concealed weapon to stop a mass murder involving more than … Continue reading “A Challenge From the Peanut Gallery”
Rebecca Peters is apparently doing some research on the effectiveness of gun control laws. Since VPC has already cornered the market on Google based research, perhaps Ms. Peters can use Yahoo.
There’s a lot of talk about whether someone should go to jail for the VPC’s FFL issuance. I should clarify, there’s no criminal penalty for ATF issuing the license improperly. There could be one for VPC, if their zoning is specifically not commercial, which Countertop mentioned it probably is, under DC’s screwed up zoning: First, … Continue reading “Dealer Regulations”
Gun owners in New York appear to be in for some of the same types of crap that California gun owners recently got stuck with.  The lead ammo issue is one the anti-gun people, with the exception of the VPC, have been reluctant to go after for some time. It’s hard to argue that you … Continue reading “The Lead Strategy”
A few days ago I linked to a VPC study that purported to rank states by number of drive by shootings. While I linked to it in such a way as to not take it seriously, it would appear that, perhaps because they lack the funding to conduct a proper study, that VPC determined this … Continue reading “Violence Policy Center Study Bunk”
