“Ghost guns” are homemade guns. It is already illegal for people to sell these guns because they don’t have serial numbers. Guns are pretty simple items to build. You can build a shotgun with a few sections of pipe and a nail. Requiring background checks on all parts of guns has been one of the goals of Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown. A recent episode of CBS’s NCIS could have been written by Bloomberg’s gun control organizations (indeed, it probably was). But the notion that these types of regulations will stop criminals from getting guns is a fantasy. The show would have...

As the Crime Prevention Research Center has pointed out many times, television crime shows seem to think criminals are constantly using machine guns to commit crime. This episode of CBS’s NCIS LA (Season 12, Episode 8, January 10, 2021) has an agent warn: “those are AR-15s.” The gun then fires like a machine gun. In real life, criminals generally use machine guns so rarely that a 2016 survey of prison inmates only broke down the numbers for uses in crime of handguns (11.2%), rifles (0.8%), and shotguns (1.1%). There are few rifles, and the survey did not even mention fully...

First, a quick recap. ADE is a problem that has shown up in several sorts of viral infection, although it also has to be said that there are other viruses in which it’s never really been seen at all. It happens when a previous infection or vaccination has generated antibodies that fit some specific criteria. First, these existing antibodies have to be non-neutralizing against the new viral infection: that is, they bind to the second virus, but not in a way that shuts down its activity. It’s important to realize, though, that *all* immune responses to a viral infection generate...

Aircraft without pilots could be flying commuters to UK regional airports within a decade - possibly using hydrogen as fuel making them environmentally friendly.

The government has pledged £1.8 million to the project, which could see the first aircraft carrying passengers by the mid 2020s. The Civil Aviation Authority, who regulate Britain's skies are currently working on guidelines for 'operations that present an equivalent risk to that of...

Thursday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Fox News Primetime,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) responded to critics taking exception to her firearm display during a virtual Natural Resources Committee organizing meeting. Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) tweeted her concern about Boebert’s display. The Colorado lawmaker suggested Porter do her dishes in her response. “Nothing about my display was the storage of firearms, those were absolutely ready to use,” she said. “They were in my possession. And so, it’s kind of alarming that she has so many dishes in her sink collecting bacteria. Do your dishes, hon. I’m a mom of four and...

The plea for help was from a stranger for someone she did not know. But Ms Cherie Wong, 30, did not hesitate. She had seen pleas for organ donors on social media in the past, but could not help at the time as she was overseas. So Ms Wong, who runs an e-sports and talent management company, sprung into action when she saw the appeal on Facebook asking for a liver donor to save a little girl's life. Raenelle Wong, who is 17 months old, was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare liver condition, just one and a half months...

In recent years, it’s become common for rock artists to object after a political figure uses their music without permission. In many cases, the artist isn’t able to prevent such use, because blanket licenses allow it. However, one of the earliest notable examples played out differently when the Pretenders’ track “My City Was Gone” was appropriated by controversial right-wing broadcaster Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh, who died this week at 70, picked the 1982 Pretenders song as the theme for his self-titled radio show in 1984, saying he liked the instantly recognizable bass line in the opening phrases. He didn’t air the...

He claims the riot was an inside job, among other things. Here, he claims that Trump wasn't doing a good enough job providing relief for Hurricane Maria because, of course, "racism." "The president has shown again, you don't give a damn about poor people, you don't give a damn about people of color and the SOB that rides around in Air Force One is denying services needed by the people of Puerto Rico," the retired general said on CNN. Since Monday, several more partisan and profane comments have come to light featuring Honore blasting Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mis.) and other...
