The Truth about the Homicide Rate and violent crime

We all hear it every day from the anti-rights cultists, their blind followers, the main stream media. "Gun violence is at epidemic proportions." But, what's the truth about the gun violence? The truth is, the homicide rate is nearly the lowest level it's been in 50 years. 1962 had a homicide rate of 4.6, 2011 had a homicide rate of 4.7.

Assault Weapons Ban, more questions than answers

The anti-rights cultists are always calling for a renewed assault weapons ban, especially so in a presidential election year. They won't get it, they don't get it, that they won't get it, but yet, they waste everyone's time wanting to get it. Get it? Me neither. Keep in mind, too, that the expired federal assault weapons ban included full size magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Why ten rounds? I don't know. They claim that with more than 10 rounds, someone can go on a killing spree and kill more than 10 people. Why killing 10 people is acceptable to the anti-rights cultists but killing 11 is not it anyone's guess.

Ladd Everitt and CSGV feeling inadequate

In a tweet, today, Ladd and company posted a picture of Cody Wilson, the young law student behind the wiki weapon project.

(yeah, bitches, you can block me all you want, I can still see your tweets)

and obviously refer to him as an insurrectionist. It's also obvious that  Ladd  Everitt is too scared to come play with the big boys, so he has to pick on someone else. Ladd, you must feel miserably inadequate to have to stoop to something like that.

Joan Peterson - She can't handle the truth

Joan Peterson, the owner of common gunsense blog, is having a little bit of a problem handling the truth. In her blog post Homicide Victims, she rambles on about how many homicide victims there are as a result of being shot with a firearm. and then presents the reader with this little jewel:

That comes out to 3.7 per 100,000- the most gun homicide deaths of any other civilized country not at war.

The anti-rights cultists bigots have been spouting this one for a while, along with "wealthy nations" and "industrialized countries", "developed nations", etc. I'm guess Joan and company don't keep up with current events because ummm, AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, WAR ON DRUGS, WAR ON TERROR....

Moving on... I dropped Joan a comment reminding her that we are, in fact, at war and responded to another little lie she published:

Gun-related homicides have increased slightly each year since 2002.

Indonesia wants to confiscate legal guns

Indonesia, another Brady paradise. Although civilians are allowed to own firearms, according to GunPolicy.org, civilians must get a permit to own a firearm, and of course they must register it. Also, the permits are limited to the special class of people. According to The Jakarta Globe:

Under Indonesia's gun laws, only citizens employed in select professions can be issued a gun permit. Among those allowed to legally pack heat in Indonesia are doctors, public officials, lawmakers, members of the military and police and corporate heads.

Reactive Target Ban Loophole?

Back in February sometime there was some hoopla about Binary Explosive Targets over in Maryland. As far as my research can tell, no one has been arrested for misusing a binary explosive target and a news article confirms this. So why outlaw the use of reactive targets? Because some panty waste prick got his g-string all up in a twist as far as I can tell.

From the news story in Feb.

"Once I mix it, I have a high-explosive compound. In order to have a high explosive in my possession, in order to make it, in order to use it (in) the state of Maryland, you must have a license," says Deputy State Fire Marshal Joe Flanagan

Waaaahhhhh you Dumbass.

More killin', Dennis Henigan style

Just some headlines, and of course, my comments. Before we get to that, something happened to the Chicago data, the post is gone. I don't know what happened to it, if I have the time, or inclination, I'll look into it. On to the headlines

The TSA Rat Bastards are getting an earful from Tennessee Congressman Marsha Blackburn.

"...This report details highly disturbing cases where pedophiles and child pornographers wearing federal law enforcement uniforms are not only patting down unsuspecting travelers, but in many cases stealing valuables from their bags..."

Here's a question for you, if a thief is stealing valuables, he's committing a crime, right? Of course. If a pedophile is patting down a child, isn't he also committing a crime?
