WATCH: This 2020 Candidate Wants to Put Gun Owners in Prison

. . .New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is one of them and said earlier this week she’s open to putting gun owners who refuse to comply with bogus government “buybacks,” which is simply government confiscation, in prison.

“You don’t want to grandfather in all of the assault weapons all across America. We’d like people to sell them back to the government,” Gillibrand said during an interview with CNN. “The point is you don’t want people using assault weapons so the point is ff you’re arrested for using an assault weapon you’re going to be arrested for an aggravated felony. The whole point is when you make it a crime to own an assault weapon then if you are found using it, that would be the issue. It would be part of law enforcement.”

Let’s put this into context. The semi-automatic AR-15 is the most popular rifle in America. The left considers it an “assault rifle.” There are more than 20 million of them owned by Americans across the country. Gillibrand wants to turn every single person who has one into a felon and institute a police state for enforcement.

Medical Professor: Epstein Injuries ‘Likely’ a Homicide; Pedophile Allowed Time Alone With Young Woman in Prison’s Attorney Room

USA Today Interviews Forensic Pathologist: Broken Hyoid Bone “Almost Always” Murder

By Morgan Hines. Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist, told USA TODAY that he’s skeptical [that Epstein committed suicide].

“Fractures of the hyoid bone are almost always associated with manual strangulation,” Wecht said. “Because a hand gets up high underneath the chin of the victim.”

Wecht said that multiple breaks or fractures in neck bones are rare to find in suicidal hangings.

A fractured hyoid is possible from any blunt trauma to the neck. However, it is more common in a strangling than in a hanging, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

“Fractures of the hyoid bone in suicide hangings are rare and when you further keep in mind this was not a suicide hanging from stepping off a high ladder,” said Wecht. (Read more about the Epstein Injuries HERE)

Medical Professor: “More Likely” Epstein Was Murdered than Committed Suicide

By Law and Crime. According to a new report, Jeffrey Epstein‘s autopsy showed that the hyoid bone in his neck was fractured, indicating possible strangulation.

In a Fox News segment, Dr. Marc Siegal, an NYU Langone medical professor claimed that this bone being fractured increases the likelihood that Epstein was murdered.

“The hyoid bone in the neck being fractured and other fractures in the neck, make it more likely, and again, this is a percentage call, more likely that it was a homicide than a suicide,” Siegal said.

Siegal later qualified his statements saying that it could have been either a suicide or a homicide, but that his suspicions have been raised. He also said that the answer will be revealed as to the nature of Epstein’s death because “if someone is attacked, [one can] see signs of the attack on the body.” (Read more from “Medical Professor: Epstein Injuries ‘Likely’ a Homicide” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Spent Time Alone With Young Woman in Prison’s Attorney Room

By Forbes. The day after he was taken off suicide watch, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein spent at least two hours locked up alone with a young woman, in a private room reserved for inmates and their attorneys, according to an attorney who was visiting the prison that day.

“The optics were startling. Because she was young. And pretty,” said the visiting attorney, who asked that his name not be used because he didn’t want to create friction with the prison administration. He speculated the woman could be a lawyer—NBC News has reported that Epstein paid members of his team to sit with him in a room for eight hours a day for attorney-client meetings, allowing him to avoid his cell.

The visiting attorney went to the Manhattan Correctional Center on July 30, a day after Epstein was reportedly taken off suicide watch and transferred into the Special Housing Unit (SHU). During the hours the visiting attorney was present, it wasn’t Epstein’s main lawyer, Reid Weingarten, or other named attorneys who visited him.

President Trump: ‘It’s Not the Gun That Pulls the Trigger’

By Breitbart. During his Thursday night “Keep America Great” rally in New Hampshire, President Donald Trump commented on violent crime, saying, “It’s not the gun that pulls the trigger.”

Trump said, “We’ve been working very hard to make sure we keep guns out of the hands of insane people and those who are mentally sick and shouldn’t have guns.”

He noted that, years ago, many “cities and states closed mental institutions for budgetary reasons.” The people who would otherwise have been treated were thereafter left on the streets. He noted that this was especially true in places like New York where “they let really seriously mentally ill people out on the streets.”

Gun Control Groups Spend Over $2 Million on Ads Since Recent Mass Shootings, While NRA Talks to Trump

By CNBC. Gun control advocacy groups have dedicated more than $2 million on digital and TV ads, widely outspending the National Rifle Association, since the mass shootings weeks ago in California, Texas and Ohio that left more than 30 dead.

Everytown for Gun Safety — funded mostly by Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire and former New York mayor — is leading the way with a $935,000 ad campaign. Its digital and TV ads call on Congress to require tougher background checks for gun sales along with strong red-flag laws, which are meant to take firearms away from those deemed a threat to themselves or others.

The NRA has spent just $14,000 on Facebook ads since last week. Instead, the group focused its recent advocacy on tweeting and being in direct contact with President Donald Trump.

WATCH: MSNBC Guest Calls for White Trump Voters to Be ‘Destroyed’

So, we’ve had two mass shootings recently. They were committed less than 24 hours apart in different parts of the country. In El Paso, a white supremacist that hated Mexicans killed 20+ people at a Walmart. In Dayton, Ohio, a self-avowed leftist who supported gun control, Antifa, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) shot and killed nine people. Scores more were wounded in these incidents. The calls for gun control have heightened, but also one would think it would be a time to maybe temper the rhetoric, especially since the Left has gone off the deep end. Prior to these incidents, an Antifa activist attacked an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington. Two ICE offices in San Antonio, Texas had shots fired at them as well. ICE blamed heated rhetoric and misinformation for the Texas shootings, which the FBI is investigating and have labeled them, targeted attacks. Well, over at MSNBC, that wasn’t the case. In fact, one guest said the Left needed to “destroy” Trump voters, specifically whites who support the president (via Washington Examiner):

MSNBC guest Elie Mystal, who is the executive editor of AboveTheLaw.com, advocated for nonwhite voters to mobilize to defeat President Trump in the 2020 presidential election, saying “you do not negotiate with” with his white supporters. . .

“You don’t communicate it to them — you beat them. You beat them,” Mystal said. “They are not a majority of this country. The majority of white people in this country are not a majority of the country. And all the people who are not fooled by this need to come together, go to the polls, go to the protests, do whatever you have to do. You do not negotiate with these people, you destroy them.”

Biden Explodes When Confronted on Lying About Trump. Video Proves Biden Wrong.

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden doubled down Thursday on a lie that he has repeatedly spread despite being called out on it numerous times and despite video evidence that clearly debunks his claim.

While Biden was campaigning at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair, Breitbart’s Joel Pollak confronted him over his repeated false claim that Trump called neo-Nazis and white nationalists “very fine people” in response to Charlottesville.

“Mr. Vice President are you aware that you are misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville?” Pollack asked Biden. “He never called neo-Nazis ‘very fine people.'”

“No, he called all those folks who walked out of that — they were neo-Nazis,” Biden said as he became visibly angry. “Shouting hate, their veins bulging.” . . .

“No, he did not. He said, he walked out, and he said — let’s get this straight,” Biden falsely claimed. “He said there were ‘very fine people’ in both groups. They’re chanting antisemitic slogans, carrying flags.”

Watch: Biden Forcefully Grabs Girl After Being Asked How Many Genders There Are

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden forcefully grabbed a young woman’s arm on Thursday after she pressed him about how many genders exist and Biden seemed unable to provide an adequate response.

The incident happened while Biden was campaigning at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair when a girl named Katie, who is a student in the state, approached Biden with questions. . .

In an interview with Turning Point USA, Katie described the incident: “When I asked the question it took a few seconds for the question to register [in Biden’s mind] and then he responded with ‘three.'” . . .

“I started to walk away and then, it doesn’t stop there, he grabs my arm and pulls me back to make eye contact with him again and yells something about marriage at me,” Katie continued. “So I walked away and I was mad, just very, very mad that someone would actually treat me like that.”

Biden has a history of inappropriately touching women and girls, with many of the incidents being caught on video, and has faced multiple allegations from women across the country since the start of the year.

Nursing Home Resident Takes Kamala Harris To Task Over Her Health Care Plan

California Senator Kamala Harris probably wasn’t expecting much of pushback at her campaigns stop in Iowa Monday. When the “Medicare for All” advocating leftist stopped at the Bickford Senior Living Center in Muscatine, one resident point-blank told the 2020 presidential contender to not mess with her health care and questioned how on Earth she planned to pay for it.

The video released by the GOP War Room shows that a woman calls Sen. Harris over, saying, ” Can I ask you a question?”

“I understand that you are advocating health care for everyone,” the unidentified woman says to Harris. . .

Senator Harris then defends her stance saying, “Well, we’re going to pay for it,” Harris replied. “Because right now, let me tell you something, we’re all paying for health care for everyone in emergency rooms.” . . .

“Leave our health care system alone,” the woman remarks. “We don’t want you to mess with it.” (Read more from “Nursing Home Resident Takes Kamala Harris to Task over Her Health Care Plan” HERE)

Senator Explains to Idiot Reporters Why He Needs an AR-15

(Editor’s note: We’re no fans of Lindsay Graham, an establishment-controlled neocon hack who occasionally says things right – just so he can get reelected in South Carolina. But what he said below is common sense and worth reporting on)

A favorite question that the anti-gun crowd likes to ask is “Why does anyone need an AR-15?” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has a very practical answer to that, which he offered to reporters on Friday.

The New York Post:

Sen. Lindsey Graham knocked down the idea of banning semi-automatic weapons nearly identical to those used by soldiers on the off chance a hurricane slams into his South Carolina town.

“Here’s a scenario that I think is real: There’s a hurricane, a natural disaster, no power, no cops, no anything,” the Republican lawmaker told reporters aboard Air Force One. . .

“Yeah, people, they’re not going to come to the AR-15 home,” Graham responded. “Well, I think if you show up on the porch with an AR-15, they’ll probably go down the street.”
