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
The FBI has issued record numbers of seizure notices to take guns from folks who should have failed background checks but were allowed to purchase guns when the FBI failed to respond in three days to the checks. 6,300 in 2020, 5,200 in 2021 – with the article subtext that the rate is skyrocketing.

Discover announced that it would use this code; however, they specified that they would continue to support lawful […]

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
Well, as I write this it has barely been hours since a shooter walked onto the Michigan State University campus in Lansing, MI. 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 […]
