#handguns — Public Fediverse posts

I watched The Dunblane Tapes yesterday evening. Harrowing even after 30 years.
A fight to ban hand guns that was won against the entitled gun lobby.

Then I remembered that Reform UK Ltd ('in it for the money') are sympathetic to hand gun ownership.

And the US, which Farage idolises and seeks to emulate (the Trump/MAGA version), has had many mass school shootings over the years.

The Houston Police Department has directed officers to stop using the Sig Sauer P-320 handgun about a week after an officer said in a lawsuit that his gun spontaneously discharged and struck him in the leg.

Since entering office in 2021, he co-authored #legislation that allowed Texans to carry #handguns weapons w/o a permit, supported the Heartbeat Act that grants citizens the right to sue #abortion providers & voted to give the #police the power to arrest *suspected* undocumented #migrants [so “brown” people] in schools & hospitals.

@Lundemo

I don't own guns. Some in my family do.

I have no problem with traditional hunting guns, and registered and locked up handguns in the home.

The answer to your question appears odd if true, search yields...

You CAN'T have a handgun without a permit on the links, but your AR-15 is welcome?!? 😨

Yes, open carry is legal in Florida, but only under certain circumstances. The state requires a concealed carry permit for the open carry of #handguns, but open carry of long #guns is generally allowed without a permit.

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."

#Intro, cont’d

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.

More US adults carrying loaded #handguns daily, study finds https://phys.org/news/2022-11-adults-handguns-daily.html

Unbelievable. #Biden and the #Democrats really need to think long and hard about what happens next. It seems that the #SCOTUS has a change agenda now that there is a 6-3 #Conservative majority.
