Dr. John Lott is the go-to expert when it comes to crime data and Second Amendment rights. His studies from the Crime Prevention Center have been cited in numerous pieces, including ones published here on Townhall, about the Left’s incessant, and often ridiculous, efforts to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. His studies have proven that contrary to what the anti-gun Left says about concealed carry holders, they’re actually more law-abiding than law enforcement. . . .
In Oregon, Christopher Harper-Mercer was able to kill nine people at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg last year. Oregon has a universal background check law for all gun purchases. Yet, Lott took this talking point to task in 2013, when Congress was mulling a universal background check bill by Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) post-Newtown. For starters, the media was blitzing the scene, rehashing the 40 percent myth—the false claim that 40 percent of all gun sales are performed without a background check—and delved into the realm of private purchases. Lott noted that the 40 percent myth is based on very old data, with a sample size that isn’t worth considering for any serious academic review. Also, the sales in the 251-person survey from which the 40 percent myth is derived were based on sales before the Brady bill mandated background checks on gun sales. Second, most private sales where background checks aren’t performed are mostly relegated to family purchases and fall within the low single digits overall. . . . .
Yet, for everything that Dr. Lott has done in various publications and studies over the years, he’s now compiled in one simple book: The War on Guns: Arming Yourself Against Gun Control Lies. It’s one massive triggering event for any pro-gun control liberal.

Ah hell, this is simple. Many states like CA, NY, NJ and others are steamrolling our 2A rights. CA has now officially gone off the deep end and the forecast is worse.
Our only hope is relief from SCOTUS. If HRC wins, we’re toast with no hope in my lifetime, without moving somewhere else.
Funny thing.
What made the NRA so powerful was freedom of speech.
But when that ICANN contract expires on September 30, freedom of online speech is endangered.
Easy To Explain — WHY ICANN is dangerous

There is NO legitimate ‘war on guns.’
These is only a lot of hair pulling about the effects of decades of liberal government policies.
Most of it, ironically, by those very people on the left who forced America to implement those same policies.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Procon line 5 FYI..
OK, OK, give me a sec...

Wanna bet? I dare the speech police to darken my doorstep. I encourage others to think the same.
Just headed for a pre-bedtime nap myself !! .... night !!
I’m paraphrasing, but As Thomas Jefferson said, when they come for your guns that’s when to use them.
We gotta keep our guns! We live out in the sticks and have
rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins and other
varmints. FANG has killed DOZENS of them in the 30 yrs.
we’ve lived out here! He also has killed dozens of squirrels
that eat up his pears every year!! (Buzzards love him &
enjoy the squirrels.) FANG keeps a shotgun by the door &
his aim is really good. Mine is just OK. - Hitler-y lives in
a hermetically sealed world that we just do not even want
to live in!
‘I dare the speech police to darken my doorstep.’
Good grief.
ICANN doesn’t go to your doorstep. They regulate the registries of the TLDs.
If you are in the Cloud and immune to TLD standards, then great. But the foundation of the internet is not.
Secondly, if China signs a contract with a free range ICANN, they will view their authority to have the power of international law and feel justified in escalating the cyber wars.
This is so when they start killing people in gun confiscations, they can demonize the dead people as "the EVIL 3 percent".
