Study Undermines Dems' Gun Control Narrative by Showing No Link Between Gun Sales and Murder Spikes
A new study undercuts that claim, saying that connecting those dots might be great rhetoric but it is bad logic.
The study, published in the journal Injury Epidemiology, noted 2020 brought a massive increase in gun purchases and gun violence.
However, “the magnitude of the increase in purchasing at the state-level did not explain the magnitude of the increase in non-domestic firearm violence,” the study said.
The study noted that in the first two months of pandemic lockdowns, there was a spike in gun-related domestic violence incidents, but ascribed that more to the impact of lockdowns than gun purchases.

“[W]e need to be looking at other factors, like job loss, economic change, the closure of schools and community organizations and nonprofits, and civil unrest” to understand the increase in gun violence last year, said Julia Schleimer, lead author of the study, according to The Guardian.
“There are a lot of strategies that can address some of the more social determinants of violence,” she said, adding that gun violence is correlated with poverty. “There’s some good evidence on youth summer job programs and young people’s risk for violence.”
The study estimated 4.3 million guns were purchased nationwide from March through July 2020 over and above expected trends and there was a...
CDC: Vaccine deaths jump by 2000 in one week
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released data to show more than 9000 reports of deaths for all age groups in the US from anti-Covid jabs. It represents an increase of over 2000 compared with the previous week.
The data was reported to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a system of registering adverse vaccine reactions. Medical professionals report adverse events regarding their patients.
The latest data revealed that between December 14, 2020, and May 28, a total of 438 441 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 9048 deaths. An earlier Harvard study however showed that VAERS reports typically cover only approximately 1 percent of the total adverse events from vaccines.
All vaccines appear to have very low efficacy against the new Delta variant of Coronavirus and an even lower efficacy against the Lambda variant, since 90 percent of people in the UK and Israel are contracting the Delta variant of the virus and some 50 percent of those people have been fully vaccinated.
It was recently announced that Pfizer would seek FDA authorization for a booster shot because its two-dose vaccine has been less effective against variants. According to the first-quarter results published by Pfizer, its jabs have generated revenues of $3,5 billion in the first three months of 2021.
Notably, the financial results also revealed that Pfizer has vastly exceeded its Covid-19 vaccine sales forecast of $15 billion. It expected their product to bring in...
Report: Communists Beat Dissident Cuban Priest, Drag Him Through Streets
A Cuban priest reportedly remains in police custody as of Monday after police beat him, dragged him through the street, and stripped him in his native Camagüey for supporting peaceful protests.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, the Global Liberty Alliance (GLA) cited a source within the Catholic Church in Cuba who said Father Castor José Álvarez Devesa was still missing:
In a Twitter post on Monday, the organization said the “secret police, after a brutal beating, unlawfully detained Father Castor.”
“He is being held in the Monte Carlos Police Station in Camagüey,” the alliance noted:
Álvarez appeared on a list of 57 names that Cuba Decide, a dissident organization on the island, confirmed were people either missing or in police custody without due process as of Monday. Many of them are prominent members of the anti-communist community on the island; no evidence that any were in the process of committing any crimes when they disappeared exists.
Catholics and other Christians inhabiting the island have endured more than half a century of intense persecution under the Castro regime, including positions on firing squad lists, imprisonment in labor camps, politically motivated arrests, and censorship of...
