Appeals court revives challenge to bump stock ban.


I remember when the best way of getting someone to change the subject around here when they argued that restricting high-capacity semi-automatic rifles was tyranny was to ask why they drew the line there, and why wasn't restricting full-autos tyranny as well?

So at least they're going to be consistent and it'll be machine guns for everyone now... whee.

That scenario is only as seen on TV in Hollywood make believe.


Described Scenario is REAL LIFE.

And BELIEVE IT or NOT -MOST of REAL LIFE is NEVER Public News.

REAL LIFE Makes It Into Movies. MOVIE MAKERs are Wise Enough to KNOW{Lots of Them Have LIVED IT] - REAL LIFE is
What Their Audience Wants - BECAUSE THEY HAVE LIVED IT.

And REAL PEOPLE LOVE to See Their REAL LIFE RELIVED No Matter How PAINFUL - Although Many Times FEELINGS Are -
DAMN 'I Lived It!!!!!!! and I'm Watching It IN A MOVIE!!!!!!

Don't Think So?

Colorful Lives Are Lived and NO ONE Ever Knows - 'cept the Few Close People to The TELLER. But, These Stories are Part and Parcel
of Movies; Books; and So forth.

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

Why so long and so deadly slow forhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61919752 good sense to prevail?...


US Senate passes first gun control bill in decades
wrote:
The US Senate has passed a gun control bill - the most significant firearms legislation in nearly 30 years.

It imposes tougher checks on young buyers and encourages states to remove guns from people considered a threat.

In a rare bipartisan breakthrough on gun control measures, 15 Republicans joined Democrats in the Senate to approve the bill. It still needs the endorsement of the lower house before being signed into law...

... "Tonight, after 28 years of inaction, bipartisan members of Congress came together to heed the call of families across the country and passed legislation to address the scourge of gun violence in our communities," Mr Biden said.

The bill came after mass shootings last month at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and a primary school in Uvalde, Texas, that left 31 people dead.

The reforms include:

    Tougher background checks for buyers younger than 21
    $15bn (£12.2bn) in federal funding for mental health programs and school security upgrades
    Funding to encourage states to implement "red flag" laws to remove firearms from people considered a threat
    Closing the so-called "boyfriend loophole" by blocking gun sales to those convicted of abusing unmarried intimate partners...



... The bill is also significant because it is the first time in decades that proposed reforms have received this level of support from both Democrats and Republicans.

Historically, efforts to strengthen US gun laws have been blocked by the Republican party...


... But what of protecting married partners trapped in soured or abusive relationships?



Note from the earlier guns list:

... 4. Most purported self-defense gun uses are gun uses in escalating arguments, and are both socially undesirable and illegal...

... 5. Firearms are used far more often to intimidate than in self-defense...

... 6. Guns in the home are used more often to intimidate intimates than to thwart crime...

So that's just partially 3 of the 70 gun statistics partially reduced...


Stay safe folks?!...

Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who is widely tipped to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, condemned the bill as an attempt to "try to disarm law-abiding citizens rather than take serious measures to protect our children".
The National Rifle Association (NRA) has opposed the bill, and argued that it will not stop the violence.
Sadly, there are still numpties in power.

Even if you do get rid of the numpties in power at the moment there are 100's, probably 1,000's, ready and willing to replace them.

As often said in the past, limit time in power & bring your constitution into the 21st century.
That should reduce the numbers considerably.

If They Were Not Shot - How Would Shooter Then VENT their HATE and RAGE?

Vehicles are Used a Lot. BIG GAS GUZZLERs Work Best.

Where Does HATE and RAGE Go - What Happens to It? - When The SICKO has NO OUTLET?

NO GUN NO VEHICLE No Whatever to Use for Their 'Need' at the Moment for DESTRUCTION.

Will the HATE and RAGE Subside and Go Away?

Guns needed in Oslo.
Same result as in the USA.


Investigators said the suspect, identified as a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen originally from Iran
...
Hatlo said the suspect´s mental health was also being investigated.
...
Investigators said the suspect was known to police, as well as to Norway’s security police, but not for any major violent crimes. His criminal record included a narcotics offense and a weapons offense for carrying a knife, Hatlo said.

Hatlo said police seized two weapons after the attack: a handgun and an automatic weapon, both of which he described as “not modern” without giving details.


GUN OWNERSHIP LAWS ARE QUITE RESTRICTED IN NORWAY COMPARED TO THE USA:
Firearms regulation in Norway
Semi-automatic and bolt-action rifles, as well as shotguns, make up the better part of the guns in civilian homes. There is a total ban on automatic firearms for civilians, unless they fall into the collector category. Modification of semi-automatic guns into fully automatic without the consent of the police is a felony crime.
...
Also, there is a restriction on the number of weapons an owner can have for each calibre. For recreational shooters, only one gun is allowed in each calibre. For professional and semi-professional shooters, a spare gun is allowed. A recreational shooter is only allowed to own four different handguns.
...
Gun ownership is restricted in Norway, unless one has officially documented a use for the gun. By far the most common grounds for civilian ownership are hunting and sports shooting, in that order. Other needs can include special guard duties or self-defense, but the first is rare unless the person shows identification confirming that they are a trained guard or member of a law-enforcement agency.
