They say you can’t make this stuff up, but that’s not entirely accurate. You can make it up, but why bother when the truth is crazy enough?
You’ve heard of the Giffords Law Center, the gun control group headed by former Congresswoman Gabriel “Gabby” Giffords, who survived an assassination attempt on Jan. 8, 2011, in a Tucson, Arizona suburb. Six people, including a child, were killed, but Giffords miraculously survived, though she is permanently disabled. Since recovering from the murder attempt, she has become a gun control advocate.
While Giffords’ personal story is worthy of sympathy, when the group named for her declares the state with the highest number of homicides as “Number 1” for firearms regulations, something is definitely haywire, if not completely off the rails. But that’s what happened a few weeks ago when the Giffords group released its annual gun law scorecard. California got an “A” grade, and surprise-of-surprises, there wasn’t a single mention of the Golden State’s 2023 body count: 1,929, according to Statista, a group that keeps tabs on slayings.
Neighboring Oregon got an “A-” from Giffords, and according to KOIN News in Portland, the Beaver State’s rating went up from a D+ over the years from 2014 to 2024. And here’s the reason: In Oregon, they posted 14.1 “gun deaths” for every 100,000 residents, and the state is considered by Giffords to have the 11th strongest gun laws in the country. Reason to celebrate, right?
Uh, not exactly. According to KOIN, “Researchers reported that this rate is about 2% higher than the national average.” Always nice to be above average, eh?
You guessed it, there’s more. On the Giffords website, there is a spot where a person can compare states, and already set up was a comparison between Massachusetts and Wyoming. The Bay State gets an “A,” and the Cowboy State gets an “F.” But before shedding too many tears about Wyoming’s poor showing, check with Statista. In 2023, Wyoming posted 18 murders, while Massachusetts logged 146 slayings. Where would you rather live?
A couple of days before Christmas, Insider delved into recent-at-the-time Gallup data, and right now, with legislatures fired up all over the map, it’s time to take a second look at some of the numbers.
According to Gallup, their early October data revealed the following: 48% of survey respondents have a gun in their home, 47% said they don’t, and 5% “had no opinion” (they declined to answer); 34% of those folks personally own the gun(s) and 15% said the gun(s) belong to another household member; a scant 20% think handguns should be banned except for police and the military, while a whopping 79% support private gun ownership.
Now, here’s one that best illustrates what the Second Amendment is all about. An overwhelming 89% of gun owners told Gallup they own guns for protection against crime, 69% own guns for target shooting, and 55% own them for hunting.
This tends to concur with a Pew Research survey released last July, which said 72% of survey respondents said personal protection was their primary reason, followed by 32% who have guns for hunting, 30% for sport shooting and 15% as part of a gun collection.
I only copied/Pasted part of the article, the rest is about myths of the AR15 and much more.
THE BIG CON is being exposed about Guns, MAGA’s, Who is doing the STEALING, (and how bad it really is outside our doors–in certain States/Neighborhoods). Their Lie’s fall lke rain on the SHEEPLE and we refuse to give them an umbrella anymore. We now know that it is the .gov (mostly_ who support the Gun Grabbers (along w/ the Leftist-Socialist Elites) who think that BANNING GUNS will work (so we will be defenseless and more ‘COMPLIANT’ to their Communist Overrule------ as that great sage Bugs Bunny said ‘He don’t know me very well’.
‘The Thing’ about OUR President taking a blow torch to their system of THEFT is they are increasingly becoming more and more unhinged— BE VERY CAREFUL the next couple of months Folk’s a cornered Badger is still dangerous! (Till you put one in their head).
I honestly believe they believe their own lies, they drank their own Kool-Aid for so long it’s (in their minds) 'Their way or the Hy-way!;. EVEN THOUGH (77) MILLION CITIZENS VOTED FOR CHANGE. Now it’s happening and they don’t know how to be CIVIL…maybe it will mean WAR?
Maybe Trump will round them all up during some ‘session’ (remember the Helicopter Practice on the South Lawn last year (10) Birds setting down in the dark of night. Has ANYONE given an explanation for that stunt? makes ya go HMMMMMMMMM.
