As we get closer to Virginia’s Lobby Day on Monday, I’m seeing more and more hyberbolic posts on social media about how Virginia is now under the thumb of a tyrant, misinformation about non-existent bills being signed into law, and other attempts to gain attention or stoke people’s fear and anger.

While individual gun grabbers may claim to have some respect for the Second Amendment, remarkably few of them can articulate firm limits on how far gun control should go. For example, Shannon Watts has claimed she’s not really anti-gun but completely lost her crap over a .22 bolt-action because it looked scary. If a bolt-action rimfire rifle is too terrifying for her, then just what is acceptable?

DRGO: Virginia's Fact-Free Gun Zone :: 01/16/2020
If the Bloomberg-financed gun confiscation crowd gets anything right, it is its consistently beguiling messaging. In the same way that The Force in Star Wars bends the will of the weak-minded, confiscationists use language that requires us first to disabuse the public of their empty rhetoric before we can actually discuss the facts about firearms. In Virginia, the General Assembly has become not just a gun-free zone, but also a “fact-free zone,” rife with ad hominem attacks on law abiding gun owners.

Pennsylvania Push For Red Flag Laws Missing The Point :: 01/15/2020

Suicides Are Increasing In States With Red Flag Laws :: 01/15/2020
“Red flag” laws allowing for the seizure of firearms from individuals who’ve been deemed a danger to themselves or others may be politically popular (at least if you believe the polls), but are they actually effective? As I noted the other day, gun control groups pushing the gun seizure bills to disarm veterans claim that “firearm related suicides” declined in the state of Connecticut after the state implemented its red flag law back in 1999, but they leave out one very important detail.
