Guinness
World Records may refuse to acknowledge feats pertaining to the lawful
exercise of right to keep and bear arms, but how about a world record
for most shameless attempt to politicize tragedy? The competition would
be stiff, as evidenced by the plethora of ignorant tweets issued in the
wake of Monday’s motor vehicle and stabbing attack on the campus of Ohio
State University. |

It
appears that those gun rights supporters hoping that the leaders of the
Democratic Party would engage in a moment of self-reflection following
their historic defeat in the 2016 election may be left wanting. Despite
having been routed in contests throughout the middle of the country,
Democrats are on the verge of electing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), an
avowed opponent of gun rights, to Chair the Democratic National
Committee. Ellison has made clear that he believes the Democratic Party
should not only pursue a litany of severe gun control measures, but that
the party should also directly attack the Second Amendment. |

Legacy
media corporations like the New York Times and Washington Post have big

sales turned out to be completely incorrect. |

while back, we wrote about an inane NBC Today Show segment that
recommended homeowners rely on car keys and wasp spray to defend
themselves against burglars and other home invaders. A former New York
City detective counseled viewers to “buy a can of wasp hornet spray in
the hardware store or the supermarket [and] keep it by your bedside or
the floor… An intruder hit with the spray will be temporarily blinded.”
If the spray didn’t do the trick, he advised homeowners to treat the
criminal “like royalty” and cooperate fully. Apart from the likelihood
that using any registered pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its
labeling would violate federal law, these products are not formulated
for use as a human repellant and won’t work like mace or pepper spray. |
