Cleaning up the tabs
I've got a bunch of tabs open in my browser again that I've been meaning to write about, but there hasn't been much time available to me, so here are the links:
- The Washington Post's Robert Samuelson takes aim at the "Cap-and-Trade" program for greenhouse gases and finds that is more aptly named "Cap-and-tax."
- The Washington Post editorial page notices that we may have reached the tipping point in Iraq -- it may very well be winnable.
- Economist Thomas Sowell gives some advice to college grads: Make money.
- Finally, a Marine back from Iraq on leave is murdered by a couple of thieves. Thankfully, the cops have the perpetrators who should rot in jail for the rest of their pathetic lives.

That's a 22 rifle that the governor of California is calling a "weapon of mass destruction" because of what it looks like. https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1542872574467510272
This is an AR-15. A weapon of war. The gun industry is openly marketing these to KIDS. With cartoons and mini JR-15s.
These don’t belong in the hands of our kids or on our streets.
I just signed 2 bills that ban ghost guns and these sick marketing ploys.
BREAKING: We just filed a motion asking the Ninth Circuit to lift the stay in our lawsuit challenging California's ban on so-called "assault weapons," which, if granted, would allow the judgment striking down the ban to go into effect. Read it here: https://www.firearmspolicy.org/miller
Stole the image from a reddit post, but it appears to be an accurate summary.
The losers in Sacramento are throwing a temper tantrum in response to the ruling in Bruen. Now that they have to issue carry permits, they want to make basically everywhere a "sensitive place".
It's cool that they are pretty much admitting gun control policy is based on feelings, not data.
The data is clear that people with carry permits rarely commit crime. In fact it's not merely "clear", it's overwhelming. https://twitter.com/AnneMcCloyNews/status/1542285958703366146
Anne: Do you have numbers to show that it’s the concealed carry permit holders that are committing crimes?
Hochul: I don’t need to have numbers. I don’t need to have a data point to say this. I know that I have a responsibility for this state to have sensible gun safety laws.
Guarantee this wasn't a licensed concealed carrier who committed the crime. NY's laws just make more victims.
BREAKING: Woman shot once in the head while walking with baby in stroller at 8:23pm on E. 95th Street by Lexington Ave. Rushed to hospital in unknown condition. Baby unharmed. Appears to be her child. Man in all black, hoodie walked up from behind. Mayor en route.
