Harris' view of your Second Amendment rights and "Executive Orders."
Right here. When Joe Biden is the civil libertarian/limited government candidate in the room....
Wolford: complex 9th Circuit ruling on "sensitive places"
Opinion here. It is an 84-page ruling, upholding some restrictions (no carrying in parks, bars, playgrounds, etc.),rejecting others (carrying in banks, bank parking lots, and parking lots shared by government and non-government buildings).
Here is another discussion of the ruling.
How often does "a good guy with a gun stop a bad guy with a gun"
John Lott's research suggests it's a lot more often than either government or the media want you to think.
"The FBI dataset is missing so many defensive gun uses that it's hard to believe it isn't intentional and the fact that they never correct mistakes that are brought to their attention is even more damning. All the while, the news media unquestioningly reports the FBI's numbers, actively distorting the truth regarding the pivotal rule responsible gun owners have played in preventing crime and limiting casualties during mass public shootings."
Navy relieves ship commander who was photographed firing M-4 with scope mounted backwards
Story here. How his people even mounted the scope backwards, let alone giving it to their commander, let alone him shooting it and not noticing, is beyond me.
The Navy has come a long ways since the days of Admiral Willis Lee, who won five gold medals for shooting events in the 1920 Olympics, and in 1942 blew a Japanese battleship to bits using radar-aided gunnery. I can't find the source just now, but he went ashore at Vera Cruz in 1914 and swapped fire with some opponents. In later years he was up for promotion but some questioned his eyesight (which indeed had limits), and another officer vouched for him, that he'd seen him crumple an opponent at 800 yards with iron sights, so they didn't need to worry about his vision.
Report on Trump sniper incident
I haven't made an entry in weeks due to health issues (my own and my older son), but just now feeling enough energy for a few.
Here is a preliminary report by the House Bipartisan Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of former President Donald Trump. It seems very thorough. I like:
"The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks' rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks' AR."
Yes, and how often do you see "was a total badass" in a Congressional report?
