Serbia: The New Face of Gun Control

In the wake of two shootings last year, Serbia has stepped up its gun control rhetoric in a way the Brady Campaign and others can only dream of: In response to the twin tragedies, President Aleksandar Vucic set out on a mission to cleanse Serbia of firearms. Unlike most European countries, Serbia has many illegal […]
Counterpoint to Baltimore FGS

Yesterday Ed did a post about a young man who defended himself and was not charged. Here’s another case, also in Baltimore, which doesn’t yet have a happy ending of any type: Medically retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Alejandro Gonzalez has spent more than 16 months behind bars, accused of first-degree murder. He and his […]
Biden to impose background checks

Well, as of this writing mid-Tuesday, so far he is talking glittering generalities – but PINO Joe is trotting out the Democrat’s favorite weapon on the armed populace, the Executive Order and to impose red flag laws and universal background checks with a wave of his pen.

Justice System Shorts part Deux

Criminals. Last week at the state Capitol, Woods joined Connecticut’s big city mayors, who… backed up the legislative pitch with a startling statistical analysis […]
Dancing in the blood…again

Sadly, Monday he killed three and injured 5 more before killing himself. (These assholes always get it backwards – wouldn’t it be nice if they killed themselves FIRST?) Just because I […]
A Modest Proposal II

One of the unicorns of the gun-grabbing left is “universal background checks” – they want every gun transaction to have to be pre-approved by the government. They couch their version as a “gun safety” proposal to limit bad folks from getting guns. Sort of like how the Brady bill was supposed to do it, and […]
