Farnam on gun NDs (negligent discharges) in the military
From Farnam: “Since 2007, there have been 126 ‘reported’ NDs in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). Three deaths, and eleven other (non-fatal) injuries. However, those are just the ones that were ‘reported.’ You can probably multiply that by at least ten to get the actual number of NDs! Our predictable response has been to endlessly reiterate to beleaguered soldiers how to […] Read More
Alan Korwin’s long list of gun control myths
After the left-wing activists including the New York Times and a large cadre of Democrat politicians publicly abandoned their push for an “assault weapons” ban because assault weapons don’t really exist, the black guns singled out that way are not a factor in crime or mortality statistics, and the bans have had no effect on crime, Alan Korwin notes this […] Read More

The thief purportedly shoved the rifle down his pants and just walked out. The crook was arrested on Thursday as he went back to the same Walmart. According to […] Read More
National Bar Association: federal prosecution of police officers needed
The National Bar Association is calling for federal prosecution of police officers who defend themselves from felonious assaults (including gun-grabs) consistent with the law and their training on the use of lethal force. I had never heard of this group and a bit of research reveals that it appears to be a racially segregated left wing group. In fact, I […] Read More
