You might think that headline is the big news. Not really. We already know red flag laws don’t work. The news here is that Garen Wintemute, the victim-disarmament advocate who previously couldn’t find data he could not twist, finally hit a brick wall. And worse. Firearm Violence Following the Implementation of California’s Gun Violence Restraining … Continue reading California Red Flag Law Doesn’t Work
I’ve previously observed that, for a “Senior Legal Policy Analyst,” Ms. Swearer seems to have a limited grasp of legal issues; particularly “red flag” laws. Or pretends so.

See below, for more hypocrisy. No, for once, I’m not going to talk about bump-fire stocks (anyone who doesn’t understand that problem by now can’t, or won’t, comprehend it). Let’s talk about ERPOs. And the Vichy NRA. Call them extreme risk protective orders, red flag orders, gun violence protection orders, or what have you, they … Continue reading [Update] Red Flag Orders: Weasel-wording from the VNRA
First and foremost, I don’t know I wasn’t there. You know, there have been massive Trump rallies going on all around the country, all year. Actually all around the world. I never realized how many people around the world loved President Trump till I watched the latest episode of Intellectual Froglegs. I think the part … Continue reading Waving the (false) flag
The senile old SOB has released his big gun control plan. Basically, everything any Dimocrat presidential candidate has brought up is in there except the explicit use of military force. But that could be what his talk of executive orders would cover. This was interesting. Apparently Gropin’ Joe thinks it’s legal to hunt children.
