A California state assembly committee gave its stamp of approval on April 27 to legislation that would significantly soften sentences for people convicted of some firearm offenses, with proponents saying laws against using guns in the commission of crimes disproportionately affect people of color.
Discovering that shooting guns is good for you is like learning your favourite snack food is full of vitamins. But it’s true, and it makes perfect sense when you think about it. Shooting combines the physical elements of posture, balance, and strength with the mental components of focus and discipline – bringing together muscular and psychological qualities in a similar way as a yoga class. The good news is you get the same mind/body benefits even if you don’t say “Namaste” after you’re locked and loaded (although it would be worth the reaction if you did!).
“Biden-Harris Administration Announces Initial Actions to Address the Gun Violence Public Health Epidemic,” a “fact sheet,” released on April 7, cites an “historic spike in homicides, violence that disproportionately impacts Black and brown Americans.” Five times the statement decries “gun violence,” a formulation notably absent from pronouncements by Joe Biden when he was vice president to the composite character David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.
I have been a legal, responsible gun owner since my early teens.
I’m a hunter, not a criminal, and certainly not the cause of gun crime.
This mass shooting may not be racially motivated: The killer seems to have been motivated by a sexual addiction and mental health problems. Still, as anti-Asian crimes have risen across the country, blue check marks on Twitter have placed the blame on former President Donald Trump and white supremacy. That the Left seems to need to blame every ailment of society at the feet of white people, conservatives, and Trump himself lacks any form of seriousness. While there are some violent perpetrators who are white, conservative, or Trump supporters, FBI statistics suggest that most anti-Asian violence has come from black perpetrators. Refusing to look at these statistics represents a refusal to take seriously the lives and security of Asian Americans.
The 185-year reign for Colt as a uniquely American company is over after the gun manufacturer announced it was bought this week by a European competitor.
Czech firearms company Ceska Zbrojovka Group purchased the company for $220 million in cash and stock — and ended an American tradition in doing so.
OTTAWA — The Liberal government is poised to introduce legislation as early as next week aimed at strengthening gun control.
The long-promised bill would flesh out last spring’s ban of many firearms, propose stricter storage provisions and target gun smuggling.
The government outlawed a variety of firearms by cabinet order in May, saying they were built for the battlefield, not hunting or sport-shooting.
The plan can be summed up quite simply: We are DUMPING New York, and we are pursuing plans to reincorporate the NRA in Texas.
