Alcoholics and misdemeanor ‘violence’ But a focus on mass murder, while critical, does not get at the broader issue of gun violence, including the hundreds of single-victim murders, suicides, nonfatal shootings and other gun crimes that occur daily in the United States. And focusing on the mentally ill, most of whom are not violent, overlooks people who are at demonstrably increased risk of committing violent crimes but are not barred

And that is this:  for all you Colorado residents, or even for those of you who were thinking about maybe vacationing in CO or moving here or opening a business here or investing here, I give you this list of CO Senators’ email addresses, as well as the contact information for Governor Hickenlooper, whom I suspect is beginning to realize that a massive, ideologically-driven set of anti-gun laws will completely

From Gateway Pundit, who quotes the reaction of Constitutional attorney Michael J Connelly, JD, originally posted to Red Flag News [emphasis in the GP excerpt]: How would you feel if you received a letter from the U.S. Government informing you that because of a physical or mental condition that the government says you have it is proposing to rule that you are incompetent to handle your own financial affairs? Suppose

Making it, as Moonbattery notes, “the world’s safest pizza shop.” Which may be a bit of an overstatement.  Because we all know that now the chances of a gun being used to accidentally shoot a person ordering anchovies is 40% in this shop than in shops that don’t allow concealed carry permit holders to bring weapons onto the premises. At least, that’s a statistic I read.  Having first written it

Or so was the reaction of my liberal friends when I posted a link on Facebook yesterday to his latest piece, “As Country Club Republicans Link Up With The Democratic Ruling Class, Millions Of Voters Are Orphaned”.  Little did I know at the time that by posting a link highly critical of the GOP establishment, I’d receive in return, from my progressive academic friends, spreadsheets and the like purporting to

ObamaCare may allow you to carry your 25 year-old “child” on your insurance; your spouse? not so much. Companies have a new solution to rising health-insurance costs: Break up their employees’ marriages. By denying coverage to spouses, employers not only save the annual premiums, but also the new fees that went into effect as part of the Affordable Care Act. This year, companies have to pay $1 or $2 “per

This is more of the left’s social engineering — perfected in “theory” in the academy using specialized jargon and a studied rejection of patriarchal logic — finding its way into public policy, often against the wishes of those compelled to accede:  your gender identity, at least in Massachusetts,  is whatever you say it is, and it is you alone who gets to determine it on any given day. Liberating, right? 

During which time she’ll rail against the ultra rich — “the top 2%” — whom as we all know don’t contribute their fair share, worried as they are over vulgar bourgeois concerns like profit and expansion, the greedy covetousness of which is an affront to the noble poor and the free-market oppressed who are compelled to collect disability and food stamps and housing vouchers as a direct result of the

Had I edited this study (pdf) from the Reason Foundation, I’d have added the subtitle:  “So take your Keynesian shovel-ready jobs bullshit and stuff it up your fat pampered half-white ass, President Food Stamp.” Which, it’s probably a good thing I remain here, a non-editor, safely on the outer fringes of right-wing extremism, alongside the Birchers, the Neo-Nazis, the Klan, and the ghosts of racist misogynists past.  Like Washington and
