Data show gun control doesn't reduce US violent crime

Certain that yet another round of gun control laws are needed to reduce violent crime in the U.S., activists have forgotten two fundamental issues. The first is that people who murder, rape, rob, or assault pay little attention to our laws. Perpetrators of violent crime will not be stopped by anything but an opposing force. The second issue is that gun control laws have never been shown to be effective. Gun control advocates are adamant that the pages and pages of anti-2nd Amendment legislation are effective and the country needs more. No proof is needed; they just know it. The reality is that impartial data show that these activists are completely wrong.

The left's 'cultural appropriation' obsession means America's disintegration

There is no greater symptom of American society unraveling than the pernicious concept of "cultural appropriation."

As with many insidious ideas, it apparently originated in academia and spread to the pseudo-enlightened of Hollywood. It's now coursing through elite circles and among victim identity groups without serious opposition. Those who understand America should object profoundly to this trend that erodes our country's cultural cohesion.
For years, the left has attacked the few symbols of unity we have left. We're no longer united in respect for the flag, the Pledge of Allegiance, or the National Anthem. These are now relegated to symbols of "right-wing" politics, "white supremacy," or the Republican Party. We no longer have a consensus of respect for historic icons such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or even Abraham Lincoln.
The growing acceptance of "cultural appropriation" is another symptom of this societal disintegration. One of the touchstones of American exceptionalism used to be pride in our unique cultural fabric woven from many threads. We called ourselves a "melting pot." One could doubt the reality, but no one questioned the aspiration. The "melting pot" fell into disfavor, and "salad bowl" became the more politically correct description. Today, we're not even at the same dinner table.
