The University of Michigan will launch a new Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention to generate knowledge and advance innovative solutions that reduce firearm injury, a public health crisis that leads to more than 100 deaths per day across the United States.

A $10 million university commitment over the next five years will support the institute, which launched as a presidential initiative in 2019 to formulate and answer critical questions around safety and violence.
This is a lot of funding, and it will turn into an even larger gun control study center than the one at Duke University.
The University of Michigan is famous for a number of things, perhaps chief among them is the fact that they have the leading college of nuclear engineering in the world. I’d prefer to see them send $10 million to the college of nuclear engineering.
Next up, this is just more from Kimber.

This is a well know problem for Kimber, and when he originally came out as a gun controller Kimber denied even knowing the positions taken by Busse.
But it’s difficult to see how the company wouldn’t know the political proclivities of one of their chief executives.

That’s cool, and all, but we’ve already got nukes. Still, thanks.

Here’s an “innovative solution[] that reduce[s] firearm injury”: allow about two dozen inner cities of Democrat-run burgs to secede and form their own countries. They would then become the two-dozen most dangerous places on Earth, and the rest of the United States would become the safest country on Earth, safer than Canada, safer than Switzerland, and we’d have a 50-way tie for “safest state”. Our nearly-4-million square mile country would hardly miss the 400 square miles (in total) of these “pocket Duchys”.

At the state and federal level, anti-2A politicians are funneling taxpayer funding into academic “research institutes” (propaganda factories) to “study” (churn out biased data) about “gun violence.” These “studies” will be of the same low sort that are done throughout the social sciences. The same dubious methodologies that produce the “settled science” and “consensus” behind “climate change” and “systemic racism” will be applied to “gun violence.”
As for Univ. Michigan, it is a leading source of leftist academic thought and a training ground for leftists academics who populate the ranks of leadership in higher academia, particular, college/university deans and presidents.

I’m happy that he’s a “former employee” for Kimber.

A couple years ago Kimber was the number one gun repaired by gunsmiths do to their MIM parts. I guess they had a plan. Make sure it breaks and then you can’t use it. Since then Taurus has eclipsed them. Never a big fan of Kimber.

This is nuts but you do get a few people out of the gun industry that lose their minds from time to time. Giffords and “Moms” are all about eliminating gun ownership for citizens. They will lie to you and some will tell you they own guns but frankly I think most would never have a firearm in their house. They tend to weave elaborate tales around that though.
They don’t quit so be prepared for the worst over the next few years.
