FOLLOW THE SCIENCE?

Follow the science, that’s what those Dangerous Quacks on the left tell us all the time. Well, except when the science does not fit their agenda. For example, disarming our population so our “betters” in government, academia, and corporate America can have their way with us. So, what does the science say?

STUDIES PROVE “ASSAULT WEAPONS” RARELY USED IN MURDERS

In the post-1994 gun-ban world, two different studies by the Department of in-Justice show that the 1994 Crime Bill had no impact on the type of weapons used in crime (here and here). Another study conducted in 2017 made some highly questionable claims. However, it did note that “[s]pecific laws directed at … the banning of military-style assault weapons were not associated with changes in firearm homicide rates”.

Despite President Biden’s claims that mass shootings tripled after the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expired, that has been proven false (again) by Dr. John Lott.  Instead, the vast majority of multiple-victim shootings involve rival gang members. 

But remember, the same Saint Fauci followers who are trying to get us to think they know what is best for us, are the very people who want a monopoly on power. 

IOWA LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Turning to pending legislation, two major pieces of legislation have passed out of the Iowa House to the Iowa Senate. One is the Students First Safety Act. The other is the Gadsden License Plate Bill that just passed in the House, on a vote of 60-39. Note that a similar measure was introduced last year in the Iowa Senate.  This gives us hope that this year it will be passed and signed into law. The funding, like funding for other specialty plates, will be earmarked to the Department of Public Safety.  Specifically, that portion of the bill reads:

Such moneys are appropriated to the department of public safety (DPS) to distribute in the form of grants to provide education and training on the right to keep and bear arms. In the awarding of grants, DPS must give first consideration to any official state association of the national rifle association and similar nonprofit organizations.

The Iowa Firearms Coalition is the NRA-sanctioned state organization in Iowa.

It has to kill the leftists to have to see this funding for 2A education and gun safety training that will come from voluntary vehicle license plate sales!
