I don't believe there have been any handgun incidents in Canada recently. Or any incidents at all for that matter. Trudeau is clearly taking advantage of the media coverage of the mass shootings in America to ban handguns in Canada.
Funny how he had legislation all written and ready to do that.
The NRA is a troubled organization presently led by a corrupt cabal. But it once was a strong force for gun safety and the civil rights of gun owners. Perhaps one day it can be again, with appropriate leadership changes. Or, perhaps, it's time for the torch to pass to other organizations.
Either way, the heart of the NRA is its membership, and that heart is in the right place.
It's one thing to allow people to make their own decisions about when to end their lives. It's not ever appropriate for a government to try to encourage it. Government incentives are all lined up in favor of eliminating citizens who are old enough that their contributions to society are limited, without regard to basic human rights.
Now would be a good time to tell your Senators to vote no on gun control. Schumer has backed off an immediate vote, but with the NRA effectively sidelined, we need to remind the people who represent us that we don't need the NRA to have a powerful voice. McConnell is already planning to betray us, possibly with red flag laws that do not respect due process rights. The problem with most mass murderers is not that they were able to get guns too easily; it's that the warning signs they exhibited were never used to actually put them on the prohibited persons list (or better yet, lock them up). In the case of the Uvale killer, multiple threats to rape women and commit school shootings near them went without any action despite being reported.
We need to begin stiffening the spines of our Senators to resist this push for gun control right away.
Appeals court reinstates Texas law protecting social media users
The Texas law is clearly in the spirit of the First Amendment. The details are more complicated. My take on it is more practical: if a company gets so big as to have effective monopoly status, it's services are treated like common carrier services. The phone company doesn't get to deny service because they don't like you. Neither should Twitter or Facebook.
Insurance agencies tracked a huge increase in mortality...
In Q3 of 2021, the mortality rate for 25-64 year-olds basically doubled. That's a huge increase, and it's when vaccine distribution was being very heavily pushed on broad population groups. We still don't know why, but it's reasonable to suspect that the vaccine was one factor.
This is the down side of "affirmative action" and mandatory benefits and all sorts of other crap. Why would employers hire workers who cost more unless those workers are more productive? If they aren't more productive -- and on average, for something like this, they won't be -- then won't they find ways to pay them less?
And if you come in with the law and say you have to hire them, and you have to pay them the same even when they produce less.. the only thing you're going to produce is resentment. And, probably, some new "trans" women who want the time off.
Vos's problem is that he was involved in creating and promoting the drop box system that was used to fraud the 2020 electon in Wisconsin, among other measures. Apparently Vos was surprised when Gableman conducted a honest investigation that uncovered problems, and now he's trying to rein that investigation in.
This is real domestic terrorism. The FBI would rather investigate parents complaining about their local school board about teachers sexualizing their toddlers.
There's a lot more than just the quote above, including Dominion voting machines that can print their own ballots. It's supposedly a testing procedure, but what's to stop the people with access to the machine from printing their own ballots and using them in the real election?
There is no doubt in my mind that this is another political persecution. Veritas gets targeted because they are one of the very few organizations doing effective investigative reporting.
The thing about hiding and censoring information is that you are no longer trusted to interpret it once it gets out.
The only catch here is that of about 280 women who were vaccinated while pregnant, Pfizer stopped tracking results for 240 of them for unspecified reasons.If they all had normal outcomes, then the problem percentage is 15% not 80%-90%. But that's only if every one of those unreported outcomes were normal, healthy children.
Someone with access to health insurance data needs to start running some queries on this. If it validates with real world data...
Me, I'm curious about a number of things. Body armor is expensive. AR-pattern rifle(s) are expensive. Where did he get the money? Did he pass a background check to get them? (Did he pass it only because crimes he committed as a juvenile were expunged? Not sure how that works). He's in a border town; does he have cartel ties, ties to drug smugglers or human smugglers? Does he have some connection to the school he attacked or was it essentially (or apparently) random? UPDATE: Is there any significance to the Texas primary runoff today, or the primaries in other states?
