Friday Links - 6 March

Miguel Gonzalez starts us off with A thought about the future of Iran.

It is time for the Trump administration to plat Lord of War in an accelerated matter and that can be done via a simple deal: We go gun shopping in Mexico.

For those who do not know, the Mexican Military has many warehouses filled to the A-frames with all kinds of weapons confiscated from decades of fighting the Cartels.

Clayton Cramer - Progress on Waiting Periods

If New Mexico wanted a waiting period to do that, then completion of the FBI's background check should be enough time. But really, what drives this is a belief that guns are icky and any barrier we put in the way, makes us righteous and pure.

The New Neo - Alas, we’ve seen the likes of these stories before: “reimagining”crime and punishment

The prosecutors say they dropped charges because the victims often had no fixed address and couldn’t be located. Seems that, in addition to robbing liquor stores, this guy may have usually preyed on the homeless, but until now he never killed anyone.

Theo Spark - We never knew, they never told us ..............from Rico

Cigarettes, when they were only tobacco, were actually much less harmful that the modern version that added chemicals for flavor, habituation, yadda-yadda...you know the drill: the same thing that was done to natural food was first done to natural tobacco.

Drones launched in Iran's attempt to make as many enemies as possible before it expires hit an Amazon datacenter in the UAE, and took out power to another of its datacenters in Bahrain. (Tom's Hardware)

The Other McCain - Violence Against Women Update

I created the Violence Against Women category specifically for the kind of “violence against women that feminists will ignore.” You can call it “intersectionality” or just call it hypocrisy, but if you pay attention a while, you’ll notice that there seems to be a double standard regarding this issue that feminists claim to care so much about.

The Gun Writer - Gun control in Iran was failing even before our first strike

Iranian civilians certainly have a legitimate need to arm themselves. It is difficult to understand the horrors they face under the current Islamic regime. They can be arrested, jailed and tortured on mere suspicion. Their security forces can shoot them dead on the street for no reason without any fear of a legal response.
