Recognising that there's a problem is 1 thing, but actually having the guts to admit it is another story.

Fools with guns continues on.

British Scientist Killed in His Sleep by Stray Bullet While on Vacation in Atlanta....

That one is all the more sad in that he was randomly killed by a bullet that had been fired through the room wall!

The sister of an English astrophysicist who was killed by a stray bullet that travelled through a wall while he was in bed, said it was a "senseless act".

Dr Matthew Willson, 31, from Chertsey, Surrey, was found with a single gunshot wound to the head.

Police were called to an apartment in Brookhaven, Atlanta, at 02:00 local time...

... there had been no arrests so far.

I'm surprised the WI GOP didn't make it mandatory to carry if you are GOP and a life sentence to carry if you aren't GOP.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/25/us/san-jose-gun-law/index.html
San Jose, California, is getting closer to adopting a first-in-the-nation law to address gun violence by requiring all gun owners to pay a fee and carry liability insurance.
...
"Certainly the Second Amendment protects every citizen's right to own a gun. It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right," Democratic Mayor Sam Liccardo said Monday at a news conference, estimating that San Jose residents incur about $442 million in gun-related costs each year.
...
Meanwhile, there is a direct correlation in states with weaker gun laws and higher rates of gun deaths, including homicides, suicides and accidental killings, a study released Thursday by Everytown for Gun Safety found.
...
The measure also would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance that would cover damage caused by their weapon.
...
As to enforcement, police officers crossing paths with gun owners would ask for proof of insurance, much like they do with car insurance during traffic stops, Liccardo explained.

Hum, tax law. Why that sounds a lot like Obamacare. Can you see how SCOTUS backed themselves into ruling?

Now I wonder what insurance companies would cover those sort of policies.

Mexico's gets backing for its lawsuit against U.S. firearm manufacturers.

13 states and two countries throw support behind Mexican lawsuit against gun makers.

Two Central American countries, 12 U.S. states and the District of Columbia are supporting a lawsuit filed in U.S. federal court by Mexico against gun manufacturers for allegedly marketing their products to criminal organizations.

Antigua and Barbuda, a Caribbean island state, and Belize, the only English-speaking Central American country, on Monday filed an amicus brief supporting Mexico's claims.

"Violent crime has gravely harmed [Latin American and Caribbean] nations and their citizens, especially in recent years. A substantial portion of this violence has been perpetrated using firearms unlawfully trafficked from the United States," wrote attorneys for the two countries in the brief.

"Unlawful trafficking of American firearms must be curtailed at its source: the U.S. gun industry. The gun manufacturers and distributors from a single nation must not be permitted to hold hostage the law-abiding citizens of an entire region of the world," they added.

The lawsuit's defendants include gun manufacturers Smith & Wesson, Barret, Beretta, Colt, Glock, Sturm and Ruger & Co.

The Mexican government on Monday countered a motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the defendants based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

"Defendants design and manufacture weapons of war, then market and sell them in ways they know routinely arm the drug cartels in Mexico," wrote attorneys for the Mexican government.

"Defendants' motion to dismiss the Complaint seeks impunity for this conduct. They deny that they help move their guns into Mexico, and they contend that, even if they do, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act ("PLCAA") precludes this lawsuit," they added.

The PLCAA is a 2005 law designed to protect arms manufacturers and dealers from lawsuits when their products are used to commit crimes. The law has exceptions that allow such lawsuits if dealers and manufacturers can reasonably know their products will be used for a crime....

Long long long deadly overdue...


Will the gun syndicate follow the deadly Marketing and Obfuscation example as seen in the unholy 'bibles' followed by the deadly tobacco industry and the polluting deadly fossil fuels industry?...

How long will this be purposefully quagmired and procrastinated in the courts??


One to watch...
