The King of Gaffes Retains His Crown
<[link removed]>
After the Las Vegas, Nev. Democrat Presidential debate, where New York
City billionaire Michael Bloomberg made his embarrassing debut on the
stage, many expected the Charleston, S.C. debate to be another
debacle. They were not disappointed.

Bloomberg’s Debate Bloopers
<[link removed]>
Joe Biden isn’t the only presidential candidate having uncomfortable
verbal lapses. One of the more telling moments of the tenth Democratic
presidential primary debate on February 25th occurred when former NYC
mayor Michael Bloomberg put his mouth where his money is, blurting out
that in 2018, he had “bought” Democrats their majority in the
House of Representatives.

Politifact Gets is Wrong Again and Again on So-called “Universal”
Background Checks
<[link removed]>
The so-called “fact-checkers” at Politifact (a project of the
Poynter Institute) continue to provide cover for one of the gun
control effort’s most ridiculous talking points. These
self-appointed arbiters of reality would have you believe that it is
“True” when anti-gun advocates and politicians claim that the
overwhelming majority of Americans support the criminalization of
private firearms transfers - often sold to the public as “universal
background checks.” In order to support their incorrect conclusion,
these dubious truth seekers systematically avoid the best data on the
subject - actual election results in states where this policy has been
on the ballot.

Bloomberg Pays for the Same Anti-Gun Article (on Free Data) Twice
<[link removed]>
Francis Wilkinson at Bloomberg Opinion took a brief analysis published
by The Trace, juiced it up with some more direct “guns are bad”
language, added a lengthy quote from yet another Bloomberg
personality, and repackaged it as an op-ed. Does Bloomberg know he’s
paying for the same article twice?

Aloha to Freedom: Hawaii Lawmakers Push Severe Ammo Restrictions
<[link removed]>
In the last year, gun owners across the U.S. have watched in horror as
California has rolled out its byzantine and unworkable ammunition
restrictions. Since July 1, 2019, gun owners in the Golden State have
been required to undergo a background check each time they purchase
ammunition. The program has been a disaster. In December, the
Sacramento Bee reported that tens of thousands of law-abiding
Californians have been improperly denied ammunition purchases under
the program, while only 101 were prohibited persons who were rejected.
According to the report, “[b]etween July 1 and November, nearly one
in every five ammunition purchases was rejected by the California
Department of Justice.”
