  1. Scene: A meeting room in #NSW.

    #Minns is crowing about how well the #HeavilyArmedPolice with #AssaultRifles (called “long guns” by the state govt & compliant media) did in keeping people safe during #Sydney’s big #CrackerNight.

    Police Commissioner smiles.

    “At least we can stop issuing assault rifles & machine guns now” says Minns.

    “I don’t think so. Look how safe last night was! It was the weapons. I think we should issue more!”

    “Okay”

  2. #Minns & the #NSW #Police saying people will feel #safer with police carrying #machineguns & #assaultrifles during #NewYearsEve sounds like echoes of #NRA reasoning.

    "If the #Bondi #terrorists had seen heavily armed police, they wouldn't have gone ahead with their attack".

    #bullshit #US NRA reasoning #auspol

  3. @Sh4d0w_H34rt @arstechnica A manufacturer of #AssaultRifles is ALSO being sued. Judgement could be in the billions if jury feels #EnoughIsEnough. ✅

  4. In the #Texas primary, #Republican Congressman #TonyGonzalez was (barely) able to defeat #MAGA moron challenger #BrandonHerrera who is best known for his #YouTube persona as “the AK Guy”. 👉 texastribune.org/2024/05/24/to

    Yup. In the #Uvalde district, #Texas #MAGA cult members almost voted to nominate someone who glorifies #AssaultRifles. 🤦‍♂️

    #SaveAmerica from the #MAGA cult of ignorance and death ☠️. #VoteBlue
    🗳️ 🌊 💩 👉 🚽

  5. Families of the #Uvalde massacre have launched massive lawsuits against #VideoGames producer of #CallOfDuty , #Facebook ‘shell company’ #Meta , and #DanielDefense (manufacturer of #AR15 #AssaultRifles ).

    This is GREAT news! I hope juries say “#EnoughIsEnough “ and levy penalties in the $billions - EACH!!

  6. @MaryJoMuser Civil leaders in #Memphis wanted similar legal action from District Attorneys and the #Tennessee Attorney General, but they were too cowardly to do anything about #ProudBoys threatening children with #AssaultRifles. 🤔 👉 wreg.com/news/local/armed-prot

    #LamarAlexander - aka ‘the Coward of Tennessee’ set a terrible example for all other #BananaRepublicans in the state. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  7. #KennethDarlington is an American lawyer and retired Law Professor from #Florida State University. He is a known #ammosexual , with numerous #AssaultRifles in is possession.

    He was just arrested for murder in Panama. They can keep him forever.

    Never. Ever. Play whack-a-mole with #MAGA morons. Unlike the cute critters, #DarkMAGA cult members have #AssaultRifles !

    Never. Ever. Play whack-a-mole with a #MAGA moron. Unlike the cute critters, they have #AssaultRifles. Never hire them, either.

    Furthermore, this #Texas #legislation will not go far as it probably will not make it for a vote on the House floor, let alone getting to the state Senate or Governors desk. Texas has some of the most lax #GunLaws. You don't have to pass a background check to buy a gun, it's legal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, and there are no laws to prevent most people convicted of domestic abuse from possessing a #firearm.

    #Editorial: this #legislation in #Texas is a half measure. First, #AssaultRifles should be banned all together! Second, ALL #guns should have a higher minimum age, not just #AR15's. Third, the minimum age for all guns should be 25 years old young adult's brains are still developing until their mid to late 20's.

    #News: There was cheering during a #Texas House committee meeting this week in Austin. Two Republicans broke with their colleagues and voted with Democrats to advance a bill to raise the minimum age to buy #AR15-style rifles from 18 to 21.

  14. Less than 5 days ago, I wrote a letter to Rep Dingell, Sen Stabenow, & Sen Peters on the #MassShooting in Cleveland, Texas & the facts of #MassShootings, #AssaultRifles, #HighCapacityMagazines, & #GunControl. Since then there have been 17 more shootings. The avg is now 1.74/day.

    Today I sent it again for #AllenTexas. (see first letter @ facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/po)

    Now it is your turn. Contact your representatives by going to usa.gov/elected-officials

  15. Greg Olear thinks that, before Americans snicker at the preposterousness of the king's coronation, we might want to look in the mirror:

    "It’s tempting to snicker at Charles and this preposterous coronation ceremony. But what’s more harmful to a society in the 21st century, kings or guns? People in glass houses shouldn’t fire AR-15s."

  16. I wrote a letter to Rep Debbie Dingell, Sen Debbie Stabenow, & Sen Gary Peters on the facts of #MassShootings, #AssaultRifles, #HighCapacityMagazines, and #GunControl and I posted it on Facebook because of 500 char limit here (facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/po).

    Now it is your turn (feel free to copy and paste my letter as you see fit). Contact your representatives by starting at usa.gov/elected-officials

  17. With the way that things have gotten kicked off in Tennessee, it makes me wonder if maybe some of those republicans who have posed with their assault weapons in ads and christmas cards and campaigns may start to feel pretty obsolete.

    Admirable.

    The #US needs two #FridaysForFuture movements: one about the #ClimateCrisis, the other about #AssaultRifles.

    #AR15's and their likes do not belong in private ownership, they also do not belong in the hands of members of private armies, like the #WagnerGroup.

    Schools cannot be converted in fortresses or prisons.

    #BanAssaultWeapons NOW

  19. The misreading of the 2nd amendment continues to spawn dangerous bills in red states. Why would anyone in their right mind allow a child to walk in the streets with a loaded #AR15?

    Today I’m an #AdultRecoveringAsshole. It took me until #Trayvon’s murder and #SandyHook to see that #AssaultRifles,#Handguns and my once-beloved #NRA were not making anybody safer. #SYG #StandYourGround laws let a White start a fistfight, end it with a gun, murder a POC and claim #SelfDefense.

    The NRA is the #StochasticTerror arm of the #FSB, inciting racial violence to destabilize Democracy. A cop’s badge is a BIPOC hunting license.

    #Woke now. I am so so sorry I took so long.
