We need a greater National Guard / #law enforcement presence at the State Capitol buildings as well.

#Trump 100% beta tested #Jan6 at the #Michigan Capitol in Lansing.

On Oct 17, 2020, after Trump repeatedly attacked Gov #GretchenWhitmer & tweeted "LIBERATE Michigan”, #MAGA, #Militia members, #BoogalooBoys, & #WolverineWatchmen (who plotted to kidnap Whitmer) invaded the state capitol #armed w/ #AR15s, #ConfederateFlags, & #swastikas.

"#StatesRights!" AmIRight?

If states can ignore the #SCotUS and forbid the U.S. #BorderPatrol from entering, then states can #CodifyRoe, Ban #AR15s, and keep #DarthTraitor off the ballot. #GOPHypocrisy 🤔

Great. So #BlueStates can ban #AR15s, and remove #TheOrangeMenace from the 2024 ballot. 👍 #StatesRights #GOPHypocrisy

@KellyEWRoskam. This is great. I think voices from the fields of medicine (doctors on the front line, desperately trying to save people who have been eviscerated by #AR15s, and public policy (those with the data) really need to be heard more. Thank you #johnshopkins

@Vaniaji I do wonder how many of the millions of #AR15s #ar15 owners have ever used it for actual self- or family-protection in an actual incident, as distinguished from some action movie scenario played out in their imagination.

The assault weapons used at the horrific school shooting in #Nashville were bought LEGALLY by the shooter while she was under care for an emotional disorder, according to the Nashville PD.

The #NRA and those promoting #Ar15s have the blood of innocent children on their hands.

#High #capacity #magazines are increasingly seen as an area where policy changes could lessen the carnage that has become emblematic of attacks waged with #AR15s and other guns, according to a growing body of research and interviews with experts and law enforcement veterans.

An emerging consensus among these experts — and one that has taken hold in some state legislatures — is that mandating #smaller magazines would force mass shooters to pause to reload, allowing people to flee or fight back.

Most states do not limit magazine sizes. But within the past year, lawmakers in four states have added restrictions capping magazine sizes at anywhere from 10 to 17 rounds — and #Oregon voters in November approved a 10-round limit.

#Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) signed a bill in January that included a ban on the sale of long-gun magazines with more than 10 rounds.

Such efforts, however, face growing legal #challenges from gun rights advocates — and the issue could ultimately wind up with the #SupremeCourt ruling on a pivotal question: whether the right to bear arms extends to these ammunition magazines.

The court’s ruling last year overturning a #NewYork gun law has inspired a new wave of lawsuits by firearms advocates, who argue that magazine restrictions are unconstitutional and endanger law-abiding citizens who could need them for self-defense.

Important research from the @washingtonpost.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/03/27/ar-15-facts-what-we-learned/

"Sales of AR-15s surge in times of tragedy & political change…AR-15s…once accounted for a small fraction of guns produced in the US [&] now represent nearly 1 in 4…About 1 in 20 U.S. adults — or about 16 million people — own at least one AR-15…More than 90% of gun-related homicides involve #handguns, according to the FBI, but 10 of the 17 deadliest U.S. #MassKillings since 2012 have involved AR-15s."

#AR15s, #guns
