A lot of people have them, but Larry Correia’s are particularly worth reading, for those willing to be rational on the subject.

Post Newtown
The witch hunt begins.
It’s very clear that the accusations of law-abiding gun owners is just more leftist projection. They are emotionally violent and hate their enemies and want them dead, and so they imagine that everyone else is just like them.
How Stupid Was The Assault-Weapons Ban?
Eugene Volokh’s Gun Thoughts
He has two posts up now, one on why it’s hard to prevent mass shootings, and one on why bans on “assault weapons” (a phrase that means nothing to the gun community, and that no one can define with any coherence) will do nothing to do so.
The Top Five Gun Massacres
Only one of them is in America, and it’s second from the bottom.
The myths and lies these people promulgate in the furtherance of their anti-liberty agenda is disgusting.
Climate Skeptics’ Funding
Evidence that they’re not well-funded or well-organized.
I’m still waiting for my check from Big Destroy The Planet.
Reducing Violence By The Mentally Ill
Note that most of this is not new federal intrusions, but fixing currently broken federal policy.
Mass Shootings
Now here’s something that neither the gun grabbers or the media have time for: the facts.
[Update a few minutes later]
Glenn Reynolds wants to have a real national conversation on guns.
Don’t hold your breath. And of course, the president demonstrates the magical thinking of the gun-control crowd:
Finally, a president who has the guts to come out against the murder of children. Not only that, but he is prepared to confront those who, for murky but clearly frivolous reasons, tolerate violence, oppose tragedy prevention, and shrink from saving innocent lives. Because “politics” cannot be allowed to obstruct the solutions that every decent, right-thinking person favors.
Such as? Well, the president did not say. Neither did New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday, when he scolded Obama for not taking a firmer stand against the wanton slaughter of elementary school students. “We’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this,” the president had said, “regardless of the politics.” Bloomberg was unimpressed:
Calling for “meaningful action” is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership—not from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today.
In Bloomberg’s view, then, we need action that is not only meaningful but also immediate. Through leadership. By the White House as well as Congress.
What disgusting, pathetic hacks.
No Flying Cars
…but the future is bright.
The present is pretty good, compared to mid-century. I hope she’s right about the future.
What We Really Need To Be Talking About
It isn’t gun control. It’s a much tougher problem, from the standpoint of liberty.
