Veteran’s Day seems like a good time to have another gun and crime roundup. Includes some stuff held from before the election:
In case you missed it, Eric Holder’s Justice Department performed a 65,000 page Fast and Furious document drop on election eve.
The latest statistics on guns and crime shows that “the hypothesis of ‘more guns=more deaths’ cannot be true in the frame of reference of American society over the past 31 years.”
Anti-gun Democratic Missouri state Senator Jamilah Nasheed arrested for carrying 9mm while intoxicated. When Democrats say that average citizens can’t be trusted with guns, they seem to really be talking about themselves…
Six in ten Americans say that guns make a home safer. (Hat tip: Alphecca.)
Nine out of ten Americans support expanded gun purchase background checks–except for when they, you know, actually vote on them. (Hat tip: Say Uncle.)
The exception: Washington State, where Bloomberg outspent the NRA 10-1 to pass a ballot initiative that institutes additional complex and cumbersome background checks. And Bloomberg is going to try to roll the same model out in other states with ballot initiatives. (Hat tip: Shall Not Be Questioned.
Ways not to avoid police attention: Name yourself “Pazazu,” worship evil gods, and brag about buried skeletons in your yard.
What not to do after you’ve shot someone. (Hat tip: Tam.)
Three thugs try to rape man’s granddaughter. Result: one dead thug, two critically injured thugs.
Speaking of rapists who got what they deserved: Texas father who killed man raping his five year old will not face charges.
All other things being equal, you probably shouldn’t taunt police over your mugshot.
America’s oldest veteran is Richard Overton, a 108 year old Austinite who drinks whiskey and smokes cigars.
World’s Briefest Honeymoon.
If you can be thwarted by a can of bug spray, perhaps the thug life isn’t for you:
