And as is usual, I am dead broke! Grumpy
Category: You have to be kidding, right!?!
My Dear Readers of my very humble blog, I would like very much to get some feedback from that vast warehouse of knowledge that resides with you all. As like with all things of this good earth. There is the good, the bad and the so-so out there.
Now like you I have my list of gun gurus of whom that I can hardly wait to hear from. Then there are those “other” people.
Of whom I just cannot believe that I have wasted any of my most precious thing that I own. (My time left on this third rock from the Sun) By looking upon their assaults on the Kings English.
So feel free to name names and why you feel that these worthies are deserving of your contempt. By the way, if you want to put me on this list. Pray tell on why I am worthy of this honor.
Mega Thanks !!!! Grumpy
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is again pointing to the “homicide rate” rather than the number of residents killed with firearms in California as he continues his attempt to prove gun control is working.
He turned to the “homicide rate” after an NBC News anchor attempted to corner Sen. James Lankford (R) by claiming the “crime rate” in Oklahoma is “higher than the rate New York and California.”
Newsom reacted by posting to X: “Oklahoma’s homicide rate is 47% higher than California’s.”
What Newsom omitted are the latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), showing that 3,209 people were killed with guns in California in 2023 while 814 people were killed with guns in Oklahoma in the same year.

Newsom did a similar thing last year, when he criticized gun violence in Missouri without mentioning that California had over two times the fatalities.
California has more gun control than any other state and is ranked Number One for gun control stringency by Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety.
However, FBI data showed California was also Number One in the nation for “active shooter incidents” in 2021 and 2023, despite having gun control upon gun control upon gun control.
