A study conducted by FOX News Digital shows higher gun ownership “[does] not correlate with more gun murders.” FOX News Digital compiled data from FBI stats on 2019 and reported “many states with higher percentages of gun ownership had lower or similar murder and gun murder rates to states with strict gun control.” The findings showed, “Montana and Wyoming came in the top spots for states with the highest percentages of gun ownership, with more than 66% of households with at least one firearm. However, the states also saw murder and gun murder rates similar to states with strict gun laws.” FOX News Digital compared Montana with Massachusetts, a state “which tied with New Jersey for lowest gun ownership in the country,” and found that Massachusetts murder rate was similar to Montana despite Montana’s higher rate of gun ownership. ***Second Amendment Alert*** https://t.co/dwDIW4WeHo — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) November 23, 2020 George Mason University … [Read more...] about Study: States With Higher Gun Ownership ‘Do Not Correlate with More Gun Murders’

Cleveland-based rapper Machine Gun Kelly continues to drag Eminem after debuting his diss track, "Rap Devil," on Monday. As he made a stop Thursday on his The M A N I A Tour with Fall Out Boy in Eminem's home state of Michigan, Kelly continued the feud with his nemesis. "This is not a battle between Michigan and Ohio," Kelly said before performing "Rap Devil" at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "This is a battle between the past and the motherf***ing future!" Kelly's beef with Eminem first surfaced in 2012. At the time, the "Bad Things" rapper tweeted about his thoughts on the "Love The Way You Lie" artist's then-teenage daughter, Hailie Scott. Kelly suggested Scott was "hot as f***," and Eminem wasn't amused. Flashing forward to 2018, Eminem decided to reignite his drama with Kelly on his newly released Kamikaze album. On "Not Alike," Eminem called out Kelly for his inappropriate comments about his daughter. "He wants to keep up his tough demeanor / So he … [Read more...] about Machine Gun Kelly calls Eminem beef a “battle between past and future”

Gun rights groups, together with five private citizens, are seeking a preliminary injunction against New York City’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry issuance in the wake of the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling against a similar policy at the New York state level. On June 23 Breitbart News reported that SCOTUS ruled against the state-level statute in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association  (NYSRPA) v. Bruen . Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion, in which he observed , “We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald , that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.” Now the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and five private citizens claim that New York City maintains its proper cause requirement for concealed carry permit issuance, and they are seeking an injunction to stop the city from continuing to do so. … [Read more...] about Gun Rights Groups Seek Injunction Against NYC Proper Cause in Wake of SCOTUS Ruling Against State Policy

Former President Donald Trump was dealt a blow on Thursday when the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in favor of President Joe Biden and his administration regarding asylum seekers in Mexico seeking immigration hearings without proper documentation. The court issued a 5-4 decision in Biden v.

Culture Films Robots Hugh Jackman Watching Chappie , the latest sci-fi-film-with-a-moral by South African director Neill Blomkamp, will be a disorienting experience for some viewers. Superhero Hugh Jackman stomps through scenes as a baddie with cargo shorts, a thick Australian accent and a thicker mullet. South African rap-hip-hop band Die Antwoord play musicians-gangsters. And the film's title character is an eerily life-like robot who makes E.T. look like a hardass. Bring on the weird. But Chappie also touches on a few issues that give it an air of seriousness, including crime, automated warfare, police brutality and artificial intelligence. Beneath the film's explosive visual effects, comic elements and frenetic pace, lies a disillusionment with how cruel humanity can be. As Blomkamp puts it, are robots "capable of being more human than the humans around them?" Chappie , which opens in theaters March 6, depicts a dystopian Johannesburg driven to desperation … [Read more...] about Director Neill Blomkamp Wants to Break Your Heart With Sweet, Gun-Toting Robot Chappie

My favorite part of the post- Roe v. Wade era (other than writing “post- Roe v. Wade era”) is the pure joy that comes with the left’s terrible arguments, especially when the left has known since May that Roe was doomed and had all kinds of time to prepare better arguments. Y’all are not only sore losers; you’re fucking stupid. Maybe I can help. Try this… CTRL+F. This is a very simple procedure where you open up the U.S. Constitution in your favorite Internet browser and hit CTRL+F. This opens a box that allows you to search the U.S. Constitution for specific words and phrases. The Constitution against a flag (alancrosthwaite/Getty) You should try it. It’s really cool.

A felony warrant for the arrest of rapper Young Thug was issued in Georgia, TMZ reported Monday. He was charged with eight felonies, including drug possession and intent to distribute. The felonies are related to the rapper's arrest in George last year. Police pulled him over because they noticed his tinted car windows, for which he received a misdemeanor charge. Young Thug was then charged with intent to distribute meth, hydrocodone and marijuana and was charged with two counts of possession of amphetamine, Alprazolam, codeine. He was also charged with one count of possession of a firearm. Felony drug charges in Georgia can amount to up to 10 years in prison.

Culture Art Relax. They didn't come from Mars or some distant, undiscovered galaxy. The 10 aliens (and their 24 tents) that appeared in the backcountry of Santa Barbara, California, in late January were conceived in the backyard of a hedge-fund manager turned yarn bomber. "Yarn bombing," for those out of the loop, is a public and oft-times guerrilla art form in which all kinds of objects, from parking meters to hulking vehicles, get covered in brightly covered yarn. Some may remember the Mexico City bus stitched over in 2008 by Magda Sayeg, often called the "mother of yarn bombing." Typically, yarn bombers ply their craft in urban areas for maximum exposure. But Steve Duneier, a 47-year-old Brooklyn, New York, native, is bringing it to the wild. "My goal is to draw more people into the wilderness, which I do by detonating massive, colorful yarn bombs in nature," says Duneier. (For the record, this project can't really be termed guerrilla, since he got a permit from the Los … [Read more...] about The Guerrilla Art of the Yarn Bomb Goes Natural
