Johns Hopkins, which used to do good work, but is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Bloomberg, has come out in favor of microstamping.

They aren’t very bright. Microstamping is useless without firearm registration, so we know that is what is next, should they even get this technology (off site PDF alert) to be passed. However, the problems don’t stop there.
  • No manufacturer has ever manufactured a firearm with microstamping. Why? A reliable way of doing it hasn’t been invented yet.
  • All you need to thwart it is a nailfile applied to the end of the firing pin.
  • As a bonus, a murderer could just scatter brass casings that he picked up from the firing range around the crime scene
  • What if the gun used was stolen?
  • What if that gun has a replacement firing pin?

That doesn’t stop the medical people at Johns Hopkins from attempting to push for things in a field where they have no experience whatsoever. They just whore out their credentials to whomever is willing to pay.

The paper touts California’s law, passed in 2007, that requires new models of handgun sold to be equipped with this unicorn technology. They don’t mention that the law was found to be unconstitutional.

Then they attempt to make it into a racial issue by claiming this:

One analysis of major U.S. cities found that law enforcement makes an arrest in only
35% of firearm homicides and 21% of firearm assaults when the victim was Black or Hispanic/Latino compared to 53% and 37% respectively when the victim was white.

You know why that is? Because in white neighborhoods, “firearm homicides” are usually solved when the cops arrive to find the shooter still standing over the decedent’s body with the gun still in his hand. Many of them are also legal self defense shootings. Contrast that with black neighborhoods, where the majority of homicides where a firearm was the means employed involve disputes over gang territory, drug deals, or simple drive by shootings. When police arrive, no one claims to have seen a thing.

A large portion of these unsolved shootings are perpetrated by guns that were recently trafficked and diverted into the illegal market.

Criminals steal guns and then use them to commit crimes? I’m shocked. Hey, explain to me how microstamping will in any way help in solving a crime involving a stolen firearm.

For example, an analysis of five years of data from the ATF found that more than 40% (528,855) of crime guns recovered by police and traced were used in a crime within three years of their initial retail sale at a licensed dealer.

Again, misleading. Used in crime? What crime? Theft? What about the guns recovered by police and not traced? This is a carefully worded statement, intended to mislead the reader.

No, this is where the conclusion leads them:

Microstamping should deter gun dealers and owners from selling or transferring their gun to someone who might commit a crime because microstamping evidence should lead law enforcement to the person who initially purchased the gun from a retail seller.

Of course, no criminal will be smart enough to replace the firing pin.

Doctors at Johns Hopkins: What does Michael Bloomberg’s dick taste like?

We Are Right Behind Them

Now that Trudeau has declared price controls for food, anyone who protests him and his decisions gets beaten up by his security detail.

When will this be coming to the US? It looks like we are just a few months behind Canada in the descent into Communism.

Canada = Communist Dictatorship

Trudeau has given grocery stores in Canada until Thanksgiving to charge whatever prices for food that he deems fair. This is what commies always do-

  • enact bad monetary and economic policy that causes shortages
  • shortages cause price increases and inflation
  • blame businesses for increased prices
  • enact price controls, which create more shortages
  • businesses stop selling, which creates even more shortages
  • people turn to the black market at prices that are even higher
  • starving people eat their pets

Violent

As we get closer to election season, the violence from the left ramps up in a rather predictable way. I know that the left likes to pretend that blocking access isn’t violence, but I disagree. Watch this video and tell me what you think.

Intimidation

Remember when antigunners were posting the names and addresses of people who had concealed weapons permits, because people have a “right to know?” Now that the same thing is being done in the case of Trump’s grand jury, or the names and addresses of people who are turning in their guns for free sneakers, it’s all of a sudden wrong to “dox” people.

You have been doing this to gun owners and others with whom you disagree for decades. So- right back at ya.

The jury and grand jury system rely on the jurors being held to the community standards, and the way that is done is by publicly shaming people who don’t adhere to those standards. We have a right to know. That’s YOUR standard, and now you are going to live by it.
