Alarm Over Growing Use of Weapons at Rallies
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on August 27, 2021 at 12:00 am
A gunfight in Portland, Oregon, last week is intensifying concerns over escalating violence during contentious rallies in the city, as far-right demonstrators and anti-fascist counter-protesters have repeatedly faced off. The Portland police bureau charged a 65-year-old man from Gresham, Oregon, over a gunfight in the city's downtown during violent clashes on Sunday. Authorities say Dennis Anderson drew a concealed handgun and shot at a group of anti-fascists who were... [Guardian, via GunPolicy.org]
Mexico Sues US Gunmakers to Stop Weapons Crossing Border
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on August 4, 2021 at 12:00 am
The Mexican government has launched legal action against US gunmakers in an unprecedented attempt to halt the flow of guns across the border, where US-made weapons are routinely used in cartel gun-battles, terror attacks on civilians – and increasingly to challenge the state itself. The Mexican government is suing six gunmakers in a Massachusetts court, alleging negligence in their failure to control their distributors and that the illegal market in Mexico "has been...

Pandemic gun violence surge was not linked to rise in gun sales, study finds
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on July 9, 2021 at 12:00 am
Gun homicides surged across the United States during the coronavirus pandemic, in the same year that Americans bought a record-breaking number of guns. But some of America's leading gun violence researchers have concluded that what might seem like an obvious cause-and-effect – a surge in gun buying leads to a surge in gun violence – is not supported by the data. Through July of last year, there was no clear association between the increase in firearm purchases and... [Guardian, via GunPolicy.org]
New York Defines Illegal Firearms Use as a 'Public Nuisance'
by Conversation, via GunPolicy.org on July 7, 2021 at 12:00 am
Could calling the illegal use of firearms a "public nuisance" bring an end to the gun industry's immunity from civil lawsuits? New York will soon test that notion. State lawmakers recently amended New York's public nuisance statute to specifically include marketing and sales practices that contribute to gun crimes. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bill on July 6, 2021, after declaring gun violence a "disaster emergency." I've been researching lawsuits against the gun... [Conversation, via GunPolicy.org]
How Bad is the Rise in US Homicides?
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on June 30, 2021 at 12:00 am
There's been a wave of media coverage this summer about an increase in homicides across the United States, with attention often focused on the same political question: will Americans still want to defund or even reform the police if "violent crime" is on the rise? Anxiety about violent crime is often used to win elections. Police and politicians routinely share misleading, out-of-context crime statistics to advance their agendas. Fearmongering about rising crime has... [Guardian, via GunPolicy.org]

Hogwarts Legacy is getting solid reviews despite attempts to cancel it
on February 7, 2023 at 3:40 am
<![CDATA[Last month I pointed out the controversy over a coming Harry Potter video game called Hogwarts Legacy. Some trans activists were pushing for a boycott and video game sites were drawing lines about whether or not they would even review it. The game finally comes out later this week and Axios is reporting on all of the controversy.]]>
Don't give up. The culture wars can be won
on February 7, 2023 at 3:01 am
<![CDATA[Let's close out the day with a note of hope, shall we? And hope is badly needed these days, particularly if you're a conservative. Watching the news play out before our eyes, it's easy to sometimes feel as if American society has lost its collective mind and conservative values are frequently targeted, sometimes in a physically violent fashion. Our own government has been censoring the speech of conservatives and weaponizing the justice system against those with insufficiently woke ideas. And liberal activists are constantly on the attack, either through the legislative process or out in the streets, issuing a series of demands, each one crazier than the last.]]>
It looks like George Santos lied about his animal charity too
on February 7, 2023 at 2:20 am
<![CDATA[Last month we learned that George Santos allegedly stole money from a GoFundMe campaign set up for a dog with a tumor. At the time, Santos was going by the name Anthony Devolder and had offered to run the campaign as part of his Friends of Pets United charity. The fundraiser did happen but as soon as it reached its goal of $3,000, the dog's owner, a homeless veteran, found Santos/Devolder hard to contact. Eight months later, the owner had to euthanize the dog. He never received any of the money that Santos had raised.]]>

Suspects arrested in planned attack on Baltimore power grid
on February 7, 2023 at 1:01 am
<![CDATA[When I first saw this headline pop up, I wondered if there had finally been an arrest made in the attack on the power grid in North Carolina. But it turns out that we still don't have any suspects in that one. The newest report actually involves an attack that didn't happen, thankfully. The FBI intercepted traffic between two people who were allegedly in the late planning stages of taking out the power grid in Baltimore, Maryland by shooting up multiple electrical substations. And in a shocking change from the usual bluster we hear coming from liberal activists, they appear to have caught an actual neo-Nazi and one of his accomplices. Brandon Russell was taken into custody along with Sarah Clendaniel. Russel is the founder of a notorious neo-Nazi group and has already been in plenty of trouble with the law.]]>
