Watch What Happens When Two Pro-Gun Control College Students Shoot for the First Time

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Conservative comedian and commentator Steven Crowder likes conducting social experiments where he sets up a booth in a public place with a film crew in tow and asks random pedestrians to “change my mind” about a certain hot-button issue.

Crowder recently carried out such an experiment on the topic of gun control. He met two female college students who were more than a little misinformed about guns, gun control proposals and gun laws that are already on the books, though they expressed an open mind when Crowder gently corrected some of their misconceptions.

Those two young women — neither of whom owned or had ever fired a gun — ultimately agreed to take Crowder up on his offer of a follow-up segment where they would join him at a gun range and then learn the basics of firearms, how to shoot and how to legally purchase a gun . . .

As a reminder to our readers, here are some of the fundamentals of gun safety: Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, never point the firearm at something or someone you don’t want to shoot, and always be aware of what is around and behind your target.

Once they were familiar with these rules and the basics of the firearms themselves, it was off to the actual range, where the young college students — equipped with the requisite ear and eye protection — took turns firing a revolver and several semi-automatic handguns. They also fired an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle, as well as a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun.

WATCH: Black Gun Owner’s Epic Rant Against the Government Goes Viral

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Wire. On Tuesday, while speaking during a city council meeting on curtailing gun violence, an African-American gun owner in North Carolina blasted government officials who want to restrict gun rights of law-abiding citizens . . .

“When are you all gonna start standing up for the majority? … I’m the majority! I’m a law-abiding citizen who’s never shot anybody,” Mark Robinson said. “It seems every time we have one of these shootings, nobody wants to put the blame where it goes, which is at the shooter’s feet. You want to put it at my feet! It doesn’t make any sense.”

Greensboro Neighbors Debate Gun Control at City Council Meeting

By WFMY News. The City Council has been in talks for months over what can be done locally to address gun violence, especially after the mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida High School.

At the City Council meeting Tuesday night, they opened their conversation to neighbors to hear what the community thinks should be done.

Some said there needs to be stricter gun laws. Other neighbors argued that current laws in place protect the rights of lawful gun owners.

“It seems like every time we have one of these shootings, nobody wants to put the blame where it goes, which is at the shooter’s feet. You want to turn around and restrict my rights,” a man said at the podium . . .

At the meeting, City Council voted to give all proceeds from this year’s Gun and Knife Show to the Greensboro Police Departments’ Gun Stoppers program. The program aims to get illegal guns of the street. (Read more from “Greensboro Neighbors Debate Gun Violence Solutions at City Council Meeting” HERE)

Why Kids Become Killers (Hint: It’s Not Guns)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .The absurdly politicized debate over core causes and prevention strategies generates far more heat than light. Liberals blame guns, the National Rifle Association and Republicans, while conservatives blame fatherlessness, godlessness and gun-free zones. But just as with most other life-and-death issues plaguing today’s painfully divided America, true consensus as to causes and cures always seems out of reach . . .

Before even delving into all the powerful factors involved, Whistleblower starts by documenting something overlooked by almost everyone – the tremendous copycat nature of the mass-killer phenomenon.

Citing recent research, including the peer-reviewed study “Contagion in Mass Killings and School Shootings,” Whistleblower reveals that many mass shooters are utterly mesmerized by previous mass murderers, including Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza who researched multiple-fatality shootings going back to 1891 and maintained a wall of infamous shooters . . .

Whistleblower also explodes the myth that ultra-violent videogames don’t desensitize, corrupt and even serve as training for mass shooters. President Trump was correct when, following February’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, he said he’s “hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people’s thoughts.” . . .

Despite what is heard from much of the news media today, the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights absolutely guarantees Americans’ right to keep and bear arms, says LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. Americans have a right to own firearms for the defense of their family and home. They have a right to own firearms for hunting, shooting or collecting. And they even have a right to own firearms to break the chains of tyranny, if necessary. America’s Founding Fathers said it, the Constitution they gave us guarantees it, America’s courts affirm it, and her laws protect it.

By NBC. An unlikely candidate for Vermont governor says he would sign legislation to tighten the state’s gun laws if he held the top office.

Ethan Sonneborn, 13, of Bristol, is running as a Democrat in 2018.

He said he took part in his school’s walk out earlier this month against gun violence.

The current legislation being debated in Montpelier would raise the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21, limit the capacity of gun magazines, strengthen background checks and ban bump-stocks. (Read more from “13-Year-Old Gubernatorial Candidate Supports Tougher Gun Laws” HERE)

Twitter Rips ‘Bully’ Chelsea Handler for Mocking White House Spokesman Sarah Sanders’ Looks in Video

By The Daily Wire. When unfunny comedian Chelsea Handler announced in October that she was leaving her unfunny show on Netflix, she said she wanted to “devote as much time as I can to becoming a more knowledgeable and engaged citizen and to focus on projects that have significance to me.”

Apparently, she’s decided that she can “participate in a more meaningful way” by shaming other women for their appearances and their weight.

Handler posted a video on Twitter that shows an actress pretending to be White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders giving tips on how to apply makeup. The four-minute video contains hilarious lines like this: “Right now my skin is dry, just like Puerto Rico before that one rainy day!”

Here’s What Happened to Laura Ingraham’s Ratings After the Hogg Controversy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. According to the San Francisco Gate, Ingraham lost 6 percent of total viewers from Wednesday to Thursday, and 9 percent in the key demo of Americans aged 25 to 54.

Ingraham had 2.152 million total viewers on Thursday, down 137,000 from 2.289 million on Wednesday. This allowed MSNBC’s progressive program from Lawrence O’Donnell to steal the top spot from Ingraham in overall viewers.

Although she saw a decline in ratings overall and was overcome by MSNBC, Ingraham can console herself by knowing her show hasn’t sunk below CNN’s viewership which came in at third with only 839,000 total viewers.

Ingraham’s show has been struck with a boycott by those who were offended at her mockery of David Hogg over his not being accepted into the colleges of his choice. Hogg called for a boycott, after which Ingraham apologized for her comments. (Read more from “Here’s What Happened to Laura Ingraham’s Ratings After the Hogg Controversy” HERE)

Laura Ingraham Announces Vacation Amid Advertiser Boycott

By CBS News. Fox News’ Laura Ingraham announced Friday she would be taking a vacation the next week to celebrate Easter with her family as advertisers have dropped her show after she criticized a Parkland school shooting survivor. Her supporters have launched the hashtag #IStandWithLaura.

In April 2017, embroiled in an advertiser boycott, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly announced he would be taking vacation for Easter. He was later fired by the network.

Eleven companies so far have withdrawn their ads from Ingraham’s Fox News program after she feuded with a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting over Twitter. The Atlantis, Paradise Island resort; Office Depot, Jenny Craig, Hulu, Nutrish, TripAdvisor, Expedia, Wayfair, StitchFix, Nestlé and Johnson & Johnson said they would pull ads from the show.

Fact Check: Here’s Who Really Marched to Outlaw Guns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. The media narrative is wrong again. Based on survey research from the March for Our Lives, the Washington Post says the crowd of anti-gun protesters was not mostly young people . . .

Despite the perception that teens are leading this push for gun control, the average adult in the March for Our Lives crowd was around 49 years old.

The research team uses a system of going through the crowd to sample every fifth person at certain increments with the event area. For the March for Our Lives, the researchers collected information from 256 randomly selected people.

Glenn’s take:

“It was 90 percent [older people] and you never saw that represented on TV. You’ve only seen the young people,” Glenn said. “How do you shoot around an audience that is 90 percent middle-aged?”

Report: Only 10 Percent of D.C. March for Our Lives Protesters Were Under 18

By Washington Free Beacon. Only about a tenth of participants in the March for Our Lives rally in Washington D.C. over the weekend were actually minors, according to a sociology professor’s analysis.

University of Maryland professor Dana R. Fisher has been surveying rallies and protests in the nation’s capital since Donald Trump’s inauguration in preparation for an upcoming book on the “Resistance” to the president. In a Washington Post analysis published Wednesday, she detailed how she randomly sampled 256 attendees of the gun-control rally . . .

Fisher found that the march did manage to draw in a higher-than-average percentage of first-time protesters, about 27 percent. But of those first-timers, only 12 percent said they were motivated by the issue of gun control, with over half saying they were motivated by Trump or “peace” in general.

High School Senior Suspended After Posting Picture of Airsoft Gun on Social Media

By Noelle Gardner. A high school student was suspended and arrested after posting an image of a toy gun on social media.

Zach Cassidento, a high school senior at Amity High Regional School was suspended and arrested as a juvenile after he posted a picture of a toy gun, or what’s called an “airsoft gun,” on Snapchat.

Zach said, “I didn’t want to put any words and someone misinterpret it as a threat so I figured I posted this picture on my own time, on my property.”

The words “have a nice day” with a happy face is part of the gun’s design. The senior told News 8 his hobby is playing with toy guns and he thought posting the picture was harmless.

Zach added, “I took a picture. It was about half way up the barrel of the gun. It showed the trigger. It showed the magazine. And it cut off just by the stock. It also showed the chamber open with no bullet in there and the warning sticker stating that it is a toy gun.” (Read more from “High School Senior Suspended After Posting Picture of Airsoft Gun on Social Media” HERE)
