One of our Resistance Library readers reached out to us recently and shared a BBC article that they found interesting. They said it reminded them of our piece Prescription For Violence: The Corresponding Rise of Antidepressants, SSRIs & Mass Shootings and thought it supported some of the connections made there. They’ve been linked to road rage, pathological gambling, and […]

I’ve Come to the Conclusion That We Have No Right to Own Guns

By kidCoder

| January 25, 2020

There. I’ve said it. Human beings have no right to own guns. You on the left can shut up now about how we want to own guns more than we want to keep kids safe. We don’t have the right to the consumerist pleasure of owning lots of fun machines.

But.

Back to the usual format day with good, bad, and crazy martinis. Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Sen.

So there’s Virginia, where their Minstrel Governor plans to take guns away from law abiding citizens. Virginia is for lovers (if not for their unwanted progeny): as soon as Virginia’s police officers have disarmed the people, gun violence will all-but-cease, and any residual danger to the already-born citizenry will be handled expertly by the appropriate […]

John Garand: The Forgotten History of the Man Who Invented the Iconic M1 Garand Rifle

By Ammo.com

“In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.” — General George S. Patton

Today is John Garand’s Birthday! Any gun nut – er, “firearms enthusiast” – worth their salt has heard of the M1 Garand (it rhymes with “errand,” by the way). This .30-06 semi-automatic rifle is one of the most iconic American firearms of all time, and was the standard-issue weapon for American infantry troops during World War II and the Korean War. Drill teams and honor guards continue to use this in the present day, such is its role as a symbol of the American military.

The ATF isn’t all bad. In fact, they had a policy of letting illegal gun purchases go between 2006 and 2011. It ended up getting US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry killed on December 14, 2010, and let Mexican criminals get enough guns that they were found at over 150 crime scenes where Mexican citizens were either killed or maimed. And some of the guns were used in the November 2015 terrorist attack in Paris at the Bataclan. But other than that, it turned out just fine.

(In case you’re not picking up on it, we’re laying on the sarcasm very thick right now.)

In most jurisdictions, police officers involved in the fatal shooting of civilian get a “cooling off” period before they have to tell investigators what happened. This time for cooling-off gives the police officers an opportunity to collect their thoughts and present their positions after their emotions have had an opportunity to cool down. Why shouldn’t […]

When the University of Texas Football News, AKA The Austin American-Statesman ventures beyond sports commentary, the results can be truly appalling.* Take, for example, the advocacy of Beto O’Rourke. The Football News has been promoting him for president since the 2018 midterms. I haven’t picked on the Beto Male for a while, because, at this point, it would be the same as tripping a handicapped kid. The bloom left that rose a long time ago and Beto is circling the drain, but the Football News keeps flogging his candidacy like a dead horse on the deck of a sinking ship. Of course, since the stories don’t involve an ACL injury to the third-string quarterback, the coverage is completely credulous.

In August, the Football News did a hagiography of Beto:

The New York Times editorial writers, among the most progressive and “woke” on planet Earth, were at it again yesterday. This time, the issue was mostly guns. They extolled investors and customers to influence corporations to act where government won’t. It’s no surprise the Times and others of The Left would do that. And again, […]
