The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand
Lewis: “How would your life have been different had you been born a woman?”
Peterson: “Multiple orgasms.”
Lewis: “That’s pretty good.”
The COVID19 outbreak might be bad for the stock market, but it’s certainly been a boon for very specific sectors of the economy. The gun industry, used to such boom/bust cycles, knows how to respond – but other sectors might not be so acclimated.Here at Omaha Outdoors, we’ve been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if we can ship them a gun directly. The answer is, of course, no. Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house. Well, you could, if you were a federally licensed firearm dealer (or federally licensed curio and relic collector) and your home was your place of business. Other than that, no, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped, especially across state lines, to your home.
And my friends who work at other gun stores have seen a crazy surge in gun buying too, with one noting that their one-day sales total exceeded Black Friday by 25%, and that 75% of buyers were purchasing their first gun.
Another Frontpage piece that’s worth your time. Written by a Brit who is on the receiving end of #Wokeness, her concluding paragraphs are informative:
The New Puritans are coming for America too. You may think you already have them, but what you have in America is just the warmup act.
The only reason America maintains some semblance of your First Amendment is because of your Second.
Your right to bear arms is what separates you from us; it will maintain your right to speech when the time comes. And it explains why the future Socialist party (the former Democrats) are working so hard to take your guns away. Compliant acceptance is the power base of the Puritanical mob
When the mob comes, they are not coming for your voice. They are coming for everything you have.

Bernie is a socialist that the DNC absolutely does NOT want to win the nomination. Biden is their best other choice?

At least Fauxcahontas doesn’t forget what office she’s running for.
Back in 2000, comedian Lewis Black did a routine:
“In my lifetime, we’ve gone from JFK to Albert Gore, Jr. In my lifetime we’ve gone from Ike to GW Bush. If this is evolution, in a few years we’re GOING TO BE VOTING FOR PLANTS!!”
Meet Joe Biden, AKA “Phil O’Dendron.”
(P)rogressives would argue that if you take more from the right end and give it to the left end, our poor would be even better off. But we have a control group for this — Including Sweden and Denmark — and that is clearly NOT the result one gets. The problem with this theory is that forcible income redistribution policy and economic growth / prosperity are not independent variables. When you redistribute the pie, you get a smaller pie.

From the linked piece:
Mass school shootings are incredibly rare events. In research publishing later this year, (James Alan) Fox (Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy at Northeastern) and doctoral student Emma Fridel found that on average, mass murders occur between 20 and 30 times per year, and about one of those incidents on average takes place at a school.

Their research also finds that shooting incidents involving students have been declining since the 1990s.
—
Four times the number of children were killed in schools in the early 1990s than today, Fox said.
“There is not an epidemic of school shootings,” he said
Not according to the bleating gun control crowd. The actual numbers are pretty bad, but they always have to inflate them because apparently reality isn’t bad enough. It’s like hate crimes. There’s more demand than there is supply.
This time it’s Bloomberg. In last night’s South Carolina debate, Bloomie admitted to buying the 2018 House Majority:
Let’s just go on the record. They talk about 40 Democrats, 21 of those were people that I spent $100 million to help elect. All of the new Democrats that came in, put Pelosi in charge, and gave the Congress the ability to control this president, I bought – I got them
He obviously didn’t quite stop himself.
See the previous example.
