Gun Control
A NEW TACTIC ON GUN CONTROL
By Karol Smith
Four times as many people were killed with a knife than with any kind of rifle in 2019, the FBI revealed in its Uniform Crime Report released late last month. According to the UCR, 1,476 victims were murdered with “knives or cutting instruments,” whereas 364 people were killed with rifles, including the vague category of “assault rifles.”
There are clear rulings concerning the constitutionality of gun ownership not connected to service in a militia. So, the Left is trying to make the argument that gun manufacturers committed consumer fraud through their speech – and therefore, that’s not protected under the First Amendment and a criminal offense that could open the way for lawsuits.
This isn’t a secret. It’s just not being reported. At the heart of the case, is the New Jersey Attorney General’s position that any opinion that a firearm can be used for self-defense is fraudulent. That’s what’s going to be argued. Oral arguments in Smith & Wesson v. Grewel begin today in district court.
Exxon Mobile is fighting a suit in the Second Circuit where the gas company is being sued on the basis that they violated the Consumer Protection Procedures Act as their product is contributing to global warming.

In the Middle Ages, people used no eating utensils. They used their fingers to pull food apart and get it to their mouth. Oh! That leaves hands and fingers as weapons………….!!
