They quote an article from Vox, but have to say why and that ruins their show.

The new data, released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shows that the gun death rate hit 12.2 per 100,000 people in 2017, up from 12 in 2016 and 10.3 in 1999 (the earliest year of data available). The gun suicide rate increased to 7.3 in 2017, from 7.1 in 2016, while the gun homicide rate remained flat at 4.5.

Guns killed more people than car crashes in 2017.

Suicides are not being addressed other than to pass Red Flag laws which are not really a help in this case.  We need to figure out how to help people who would need treatment without branding them as dangerous and treat them like shit. You cannot expect people in trouble to seek help if your default mode is “FUCK! He/She is dangerous! Quick, send cops to his/her house, break in (legally) take away their belongings and leave them there without even counseling them to see a therapist.”

I predict we will see cops wounded and killed because of this crap and same for the persons in need. And Brady and the rest will be there to tap dance on their blood and start a fundraiser.

Normally, The Federalist farting out some jaw-droppingly stupid false equivalence is just another weekday, but conservative gays using their sexuality as a means to defend their abhorrent views have become more and more common as queers win more widespread acceptance. (Some possibly relevant personal background: I identified as a gay male during my teen years, but now I’m probably more like trans female or genderqueer or something more fun like that.) Opportunities that would have been previously unavailable for out gays in fields like business or politics are opening up like never before, giving LGBT people newfound power to create change within the systems that previously oppressed them. But wealthy and mostly white gay men have all too often been afforded the choice not just to shed the “oppressed” label, but to become oppressors themselves. Their sexuality, then, becomes a tool used to help uphold the anti-feminist, white supremacist, wealth-favoring status quo, and they need to fucking stop.

Conservative Gays Need To Shut The Fuck Up

I had to read that paragraph three times and I still have problems trying to see the coherence among the sentences, but the message at the end is clear. We will tolerate no dissenters.

I will always find fascinating that the groups that publicize inclusion and open-mindness, will spew vitriol against anybody who differs from their dogma in the slightest. Minorities that do not dance to the tune they impose are possibly the worse of the pack and I would not be surprised that in the near future they will be told to die a fiery death. hell, I am told that just because I am a gun owner and my Hispanic/Latino origin gets conveniently ignored.

So, if the ovens open up once more, I would not be surprised to see that the ones trying to shove Jews and Gays into them are “enlightened” Jews and Gays from the Left. So don’t forget: Arm dissidents are conveniently ignored from the extermination lists.

I will admit that I do not pay much attention to the Garden State’s Gun Control initiatives because it is like trying to swim in a mental cesspool. Perhaps is why I might have missed S798 which proposed the following:

This bill revises the definition of “large capacity ammunition magazine” to reduce the number of rounds of ammunition a legal magazine may hold in this State.
Under current law, it is unlawful to own or possess an ammunition magazine that is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition.
This bill would reduce the maximum capacity of a legal ammunition magazine in New Jersey to five rounds.

And now that New Jersey got the blessing by a Federal Court to ban anything above 15 rounds, I would expect this bill to come back in 2019 and pass. Of course that would mean that they would have to do something about revolvers in 2020 because you cannot have one type of gun with no magazine, have  more rounds than the ones with magazines.

I have the feeling that Bond Arms will be selling a lot to New Jersey in the future.

HOUSTON – A rap video helped authorities in Houston identify 20 suspected gang members, all of whom are now facing gun charges after police said they brandished weapons while filming a music video in March.
According to a report from KSAT’s sister station, Click2Houston, rappers Emekwanem Biosah Jr, known as Maxo Kreme, and Warren Brown, known as NFL Cartell Bo, were filming a rap video at Lakewood Park when police responded to the park.

 Rap video leads to charges against 20 suspected of illegally possessing firearms

Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame is now a constant craving of exhibitionism and voyeurism in the era of YouTube. Add to that a low expectation of punishment and you get a bunch of gang members that provided one police department with enough evidence for arrests.

Sincerely I have no issues if the bad guys engage in Lemming conduct and put themselves out of circulation, specially with zero civilian casualties.

Another just happened.

A “lone gunman” remains at large after killing at least four people and seriously injuring several others in the eastern French city of Strasbourg near its famed Christmas market visited by millions.
The authorities are treating the attack as a terrorist act. Anti-terrorist prosecutors have opened an investigation.
A manhunt involving police and soldiers is underway with French media saying the gunman was on the loose but had already been “identified” as being on a list of “security threats”.
The gunman was wounded by soldiers on patrol as part of France’s Sentinelle anti-terror operation but managed to flee, said police.

Strasbourg shooting: At least four dead, several seriously injured in attack at Christmas market – latest news

Strasbourg has a very well know Christmas Market and that is where the “previously known to ant-terrorist authorities” killer made his attack.

See update at the bottom:

A gunman entered a Catholic cathedral near Brazil’s most populous city, São Paulo, killing five people, police say.
A Mass was being held when the attacker, carrying two guns, entered the Metropolitan Cathedral in the city of Campinas and opened fire.
The military police confirmed the death toll was five.

Gunman ‘storms Brazil cathedral killing 5 and wounding 7 before killing himself

This happened in the last hour or so. Stuff still incoming.  There is a picture in Twitter of the alleged killer after popping himself and looks right, but I want to find confirmation first.

Brazil has its shares of mass killings, but most don’t get reported. I posted a massacre on a Rio school where the shooter used revolvers (only one I found) to murder 12 kids and the cops were nearby.

UDDATE: Click here for a photo of the asshole shooter still unnamed. It seems he literally used the last round on himself.
