Advocates of gun control talk of the concept of crime increasing as more people have guns as if it’s a graven-in-stone axiom.

Interesting thread on Twitter is under the hashmark “#10YearsAgo” and it’s getting tweets like mad! So, how about it? Where were you 10 Years Ago? Me? I was an IT Manager at a firm here in Northern Virginia. I was wrapping up the final items on the Y2K list we’d been working on since I [...]
I’m still getting back up to speed after returning from my holiday travel so my awareness of certain news items is, sometimes, a bit delayed.
