It’s yet another demonstration that leftist academics aren’t part of the reality-based community. They start from their beliefs and work backwards rather than starting with observable facts and building hypotheses and theories.

Performance based regulation? If this is such a good idea why not try it on the government first?

1.For every illegal alien that slips over the border, the government is fined (in the form of tax cuts) to the citizens $100,000.

2.For every failure to enforce existing gun laws on criminals (like in Philadelphia), the government has to make a public apology and explain upon each occurrence why they did not prosecute the criminal.

Wow I like this idea!

I could have sworn Heller shot down the trigger lock requirement too. Right?

Using the power of the state to coerce private business into pursuing some alleged social good: fascist maneuver #1.

Semi-auto revolvers must confound them. Or belt-feds. Or a modernized "harmonica gun".

I wonder if they believe this should be imposed on Henkel, Ford & Louisville Slugger, Zippo & Dell as well?

All are makers of tools that can be used for evil.

One thing that always drives me nuts about the Antis is how the speak in blanket terms like “gun deaths” and “reducing an gun use”. As if an armed burglar dropped by a store clerk with a shotgun is equivalent to an unarmed clerk being shot and killed by the same said burglar. Just ain’t so.

A recent campus memo reminding staff that for any of us with CHLs, concealed carry is still prohibited on campus by state law, and by university regs. The memo dryly stated “Any presence of guns increases the likelihood of their use”. True enough, my PT111 I left in my dresser drawer won’t get used or do anyone any good if some homicidal maniac wanders in and starts shooting up my library. If I had my carry gun with me in that scenario, the chance of my trying to use it in response is 100%. So the memo’s assertion is true, but obfuscates reality by focusing hysterically on “TWO guns in use instead of only ONE!!” rather than who’s shooting whom and why.
