If this is true, then Cody Wilson is a criminal and a fool.

Cody Wilson, a leading proponent of 3-D printed guns, has been arrested in Taiwan after being charged in Texas with sexually assaulting a 16-year old girl there, Taiwanese officials said on Friday.

Police in the Wanhua district of Taipei arrested Mr. Wilson and delivered him to the National Immigration Agency, according to officials in the city.

The police in Austin, Tex., had said on Wednesday that Mr. Wilson had failed to board a flight back the United States from Taipei, and that they had asked the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force for help locating him.

Mr. Wilson, 30, is accused of taking a girl he met via the website SugarDaddyMeet[dot]com to a hotel in Austin on Aug. 15, having sex with her and paying her $500 in cash, according to an affidavit filed in Travis County on Wednesday.

SugarDaddyMeet[dot]com… Is that for those times when swiping right or left requires too much class?

If this isn’t true, then it’s a hit. Wilson has made some powerful enemies via his promotion of the 2A, 1A, and general freedom.

Either way, this is the worst kind of distraction at a time when our aging, declining Boomer friends of the “conservative” bent are signing on with more gun control.

A silver lining, again if the allegations are accurate: Cory Booker may have found his running mate for the losing 2020 ticket. Alternatively, the Clinton (Criminal) Foundation may have found that replacement agent for Haiti.

Dick’s Sporting Goods: Shooting Their Business in the Foot

They actually admit they’re (partially) to blame:

Comparable-store sales fell 4%, Dick’s said. Not adjusting for the 53rd week last year, the company’s same-store sales declined 1.9%.

The weaker-than-expected results bucked a trend in the retail sector, which largely has benefited from a surge in consumer spending fueled by a booming economy.

Consumer confidence for August, measured by the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index, was the highest its been in about 18 years. That sentiment, along with other factors, has powered companies such as Walmart Inc. WMT -0.42% and Target Corp. TGT +1.11% to their best quarterly results in more than a decade.

Dick’s said part of the company’s sales problems were a result of Under Armour’s decision to sell in more stores including Kohl’s.

Also hurting sales was Dick’s decision to tighten its policy on gun sales after 17 people were killed in a February shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school. The retailer halted sales of any firearms to people under age 21 at all of its 845 Dick’s and Field & Stream stores, and stopped selling assault-style weapons at Field & Stream.

Barring a course correction (and maybe an apology) we are headed towards my February prediction. (I told you [and them] so).

The Second Amendment

reruns, Second Amendment

This is a follow-up to some of my recent columns, Posse Comitatus, A Short History of Gun Control in America, and others. The Second Amendment and its subject matter have been in the news recently as part of the never-ending “debate” over gun control. The Amendment has also received special attention from the U.S. Supreme Court twice in the past five years.

My purpose here is to explain what the Amendment means and what most commentators (even pro-firearms authors) miss in their reading and application. Even if you do not own guns or have an interest in them, this issue affects you and your Liberty. Somewhere in the writing process, I realized I should have divided this into several segments. My apologies for the heft of the article. Sadly, I didn’t even get to add in half of what I should – maybe a book is in order? certainly a follow-up’s follow-up.

The Second Amendment

Trump to the NRA

He fired up the crowd.

He said, “Your second amendment rights … will never, ever be under siege as long as I am president. … We believe that our liberty is a gift from our Creator, that no government can ever take it away.”

Kind of true, about the taking away part. No government can ever take away Natural Rights. Governments, historically, just suppress them, steal things associated with them, and jail or kill people who stand up for them. GCA, NFA, FOPA, ETC. aside, it usually starts with little things. You know, like calling for admin bans on bump stocks.

2.5 Million Reasons to Love Guns

The Amazing Truth About Guns in America

A Piece by Perrin Lovett, C.F. Floyd Feature Writer of National Affairs


“It was downright embarrassing. Especially for me. Perrin Lovett, the gun guy, … was wrong about guns. I was wrong for the better part of two decades. Horribly wrong.

Specifically, I had been citing a rounded, general statistic: 1 million defensive gun uses every year in America (sometimes phrased as a million lives saved every year by guns). It was a very handy number to refute the claims by various gun control freaks that guns take X number of lives per year (usually in the 10,000 – 30,000 range). It was an order of magnitude of positive difference. And it was dead wrong.

Guns do not save 1 million lives each year in America.

They save 2.5 million lives. The CDC says so. Well, they say it quietly and only when pushed. You see, dear readers, the CDC did a study from 1996 through 1998. They discovered 2.46 million defensive gun uses each year. With inflation, let’s call it 2.5 million. Every. Single. Year.

I Was Wrong About Guns

This is embarrassing, really, but it is important to correct one’s errors. I apologize in advance if I’ve misled anyone.

For a long time I’ve been countering hysterical, communist gun control lies with a set of statistics. Chief among them was the claim that guns save roughly 1 million American lives each year. That’s simply not true.

They save 2 MILLION. Every. Single. Year. 

 

The CDC said so (or would have, if they didn’t have an agenda):

An unpublished Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study confirms Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck’s findings of more than two million defensive handgun uses (DGUs) per year.

Since the early 1990s, Kleck has maintained that there is a minimum of 760,000 DGUs annually. That is his low estimate; Kleck and research partner Marc Gertz have contended the actual number is closer to 2.5 million.

Kleck reaffirmed his numbers on February 17, 2015, explaining that while plenty of naysayers have criticized his findings, none have been able to offer empirical evidence to counter them.

Now, a CDC study conducted on data from 1996, 1997, and 1998 has been uncovered. The study, which was never released to the public, shows approximately 2.46 million DGUs per year.

Or it is 2.5 Million? Regardless, this was a government study so it cannot be questioned. The failure to publish can’t really be criticized either – the agenda and all.

In my defense I settled on the erroneous 1 million out of an abundance of statistical caution. It seemed a safe round off point. Now that I know better, it’s 2 million from now on. That’s about one life saved, one defensive usage, every 15 seconds. I wonder if Young Hogg will mention that in his forthcoming book? Guessing, and I could be wrong, that’s a big “no.”

Hold on to your ARs! Superstar Survivor David Hogg (rhymes with “slog,” as in the tiring noun usage) readies a new and sure-to-be trendy book on how you need to surrender your lives to communism. It’s anterior title is #NeverAgain.

One hopes, given the title, it may be the last time we have to hear from the spaghetti-armed bully who is totally not a crisis actor. More likely it’ll be the long-awaited sequel to the utter fairy tale bullshit that was Michael Bellesiles’s (pronounced: “l-i-a-r”) Arming America.

Captain Boogie Board is probably out hawking it at one of today’s marches for Marx. Good luck, kid.

If you’re into truth, then seriously consider Tom Wood’s new work, Wrong About Guns.

One can beget the other and visa versa.

An Englishman reflects on his nation and associated continent.

People, any people, will only put up with the Richard Osborne-Brooks treatment for so long. Likewise, very likewise, they’ll only put up with Imperial totalitarianism for so long.

SC legislators prep secession movement over Second Amendment.

After all, if ,like JP Stevens, the Second Amendment is merely a relic of the 18th century, then so too must be the Union.

Interesting times.

 

Gun Control in Action! London Tops NYC in Murders

02 Monday Apr 2018

You read that right. I know, I know, it’s hard to believe. The JP Stevenses of the underworld would have us believe that gun control fixes crime. So, when a HIGHLY gun controlled place like London, England tops an evil, NRA-controlled city like New York, something must be off, right?

According to a report by the Sunday Times, New York City’s murder statistics have decreased by 87 per cent since the 1990s.

Meanwhile, London’s rate has grown by nearly 40 per cent in just three years, not including deaths caused by terrorist attacks.

Although New York last year had nearly double the number of murders than London, experts are concerned the gap is steadily closing.

Officials are concerned about the uptick in fatal stabbings, fearing there is a dangerous surge in knife crime.

Last year there was a total of 80 fatal stabbings in the capital – the most in almost a decade. And official figures show that 2017 was the worst year for knife deaths among young people since at least 2002.

Forty-six people aged 25 or under were stabbed to death in London, up by 21 compared with the previous year, according to police figures.

 

From Vox Day:

London’s murder rate has overtaken New York City’s numbers for the first time ever, according to a new report.

February marked the first month in history books that London had more murders than the American city with a total of 15 homicides. Out of the 15 killed, nine were aged 30 or younger.

In March, there were 22 murders, which is likely to match if not beat out New York’s numbers.

The victims:
Sadiq Mohamed, 20, Kentish Town
Abdikarim Hassan, 17, Kentish Town
Josef Boci, 30, Greenwich
Seyed Khan, 49, Ilford
Rotimi Oshibanjo, 26, Southall
Promise Nkenda, 17, Canning Town
Sabri Chibani, 19, Streatham Common
Lewis Blackman, 19, Kensington
Hasan Ozcan, 19, Barking
Hannah Leonard, 55, Swiss Cottage
Kwabena Nelson, 22, Tottenham
Mark Smith, 48, Chingford
Bulent Kabala, 41, Enfield
Saeeda Hussain, 54, Ilford
Juan Olmos Saca, 39, Peckham

All normal, traditional Anglo-Saxon names, eh? Okay, “Mark Smith” or “Hannah Leonard” could be anyone, recent immigrants even. But I see a trend.

The PC Wave. Daily Mail.

There’s a reason they call it Londonistan. The city population is comprised literally half by foreigners, complete with a foreign, Muslim mayor (whom I originally tried [in vain] to give the benefit of the doubt). Surprisingly, many peoples from the third world bring their backwards, violent ways with them when the move into new territory. It’s like genetic or something.

It’s harder to get guns in NYC than most American cities. But one can get them. In London, and most of the UK, it’s nearly impossible. Funny how criminals immediately turn to other tools. It’s almost like the guns aren’t the problem. And the names….

And, yes, they’ve floated knife control there too. They’ve pretty much outlawed self-defense. The real British people are the real victims.

And in America, people like David “Not a Crisis Actor” Hogg and John Paul “The Relic” Stevens, want to do the same thing to real Americans. They want our safe nation torn apart by increased violence. They don’t want a discussion; they want gun control, guns banned. They want to rob you and leave you more likely to be murdered. They’re the same sort who want to import more killers too.

Worst of all, these Hellish liars and thieves want to leave you defenseless before the whims of whatever tyranny “their” government can devise. Honestly, they’re about as American as most of the above-named decedents were English.

This is what I promised yesterday. It’s what really happens when you give up the guns while embracing the “blessings” of globalism. It’s done in England and it can happen in the US.

But, in England, there is a ready solution, should one single Briton choose it. I challenge her to do so for the sake of her people. Queen Elizabeth possesses extraordinary powers. These have historically been shelved by a popular Monarch content with the civil order of society.

Things have changed and to a point suggestive of emergency action. Therefore, pursuant to her Royal Prerogatives, I urge the Queen to immediately:

  • Terminate all gun controls;
  • Arm her people;
  • Seize all assets of fake Britons, gun control advocates, and assorted globalist trash;
  • Deport or imprison all fake Britons, gun control advocates, and assorted globalist trash; and
  • Dismiss, arrest, and severely punish any: Prime Minister, Commoner or Lord, Judge, Mayor, media figure, or anyone else who attempts to interfere with the foregoing.

Make England Great Again. Make it free and safe.

* Upon reinstatement of a few ancient titles and grants, Perrin volunteers to marshal said actions.

Hello and Happy Easter!

This being the first of April I had wanted to play some sort of April Fool’s joke. Time being what it is, and this being Easter, I give you the most foolish thing I could quickly think of: this picture of popular star, influencer, and media darling, David Hogg (who most definitely is NOT a crisis actor):

david_hogg_getty

The Hill.

Young Hogg has unwisely drawn the ire of Ted Nugent. The Motor City Madman deemed the constant, whiny, and orchestrated attacks by Hogg and his troupe, “ignorant and dangerously stupid … soulless.”

I don’t think the standard SJW shriek and swarm tactics will work on Ted. They did work on Laura Ingraham, who is going on a “planned” vacation following the departure of over a dozen of her advertisers. That happened because of Hogg’s hissy fit.

So, this guy wants the spotlight when it’s convenient for the cause (of spreading communism) but not when it cues someone else’s free speech. The left used to be big on free speech. Remember that? Berkeley? Yeah. Now, offend their tiny sensibilities and off with your career. That’s what he’s doing: a woman, a single mother no less, speaks her mind, and he tries to get her show and livelihood destroyed. His rabble on Twitter are more than happy to play along. This is America?

Everyone plays along: adherence to the narrative. Predictable, preventable, lamentable school shooting. Hogg. Complete abdication of the facts and statistics. March for Our Lives. Actually, it wasn’t all scheduled in that order. The March, says the Metro DC Police, was scheduled “several months prior” with “several months of planning.”

DZk-JFUW0AAOMyd

MPD.

I thought the Florida shooting, ONE month earlier, proximately caused the March. Several months?

Make that several years of planning, decades even. This has been an ongoing movement since long before Hogg (or I) was born. He’s playing right into it nicely. Just as these lowlifes are happy to steal a single mother’s employment (Hey! Where’s NOW and the #metoo brigade??), they’ll be just as happy to steal the AR-15s, other firearms, Second Amendment, and freedoms of all Americans. I imagine the theft would continue thereafter. That’s what serial thieves do.

At least this troupe is entertaining, with the marches, magazines, and hysteria. But it’s still just Petrushka agitprop for the numbed masses. ‘Merica.

Tomorrow! A fun look at what happens to your Capital’s murder rate once the good subjects are disarmed. Stay tuned. Happy April.

Musical BONUS!

John Paul Stevens and John Paul Jones have similar names. I think they’re about the same age too. Anyway, with so many apologies to the great Johnny Horton:

John Paul Stevens was a communist,

and a communist was he.

He lied over here, 

and he drooled over there.

And he didn’t want Americans free.
