Heslin & Lewis’s 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among 20 children & 6 educators killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut. The lawsuit & 2022 verdict against #AlexJones marked the first time Jones was held financially liable for peddling #lies about the #massacre, claiming it was faked by the government to tighten #GunLaws.

The unanimous opinion of by the Texas Third Court of Appeals found that #SandyHook parents Neil Heslin & Scarlett Lewis did not show evidence that #harassment enflamed by #AlexJones’ hoax claims rose to a level that would allow them to exceed the state’s $750,000 cap on damages.

Horrible
A #Texas court has slashed the $50 million judgment to $1.5 million against Infowars founder #AlexJones over falsely calling 2012 #SandyHook #SchoolShooting a hoax.
The ruling does not affect a $1.4 billion judgement against Jones in Connecticut, but is a significant legal victory for Jones after he & his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the #MassShooting didn’t happen.

#BREAKING #NEWS: In an insane move, the #farright members of the #US Supreme Court just lifted the ban on #bumpstocks (supercharge semiautomatic rifles to shoot hundreds of bullets a minute), essentially ensuring that #gunviolence and carnage remain a fundamental part of life in #America.

CW: Content warning: Maine mass shooting
"The man who killed 18 people in a mass shooting last year in Lewiston, Maine, had traumatic brain injuries that likely influenced his actions in the final months of his life, according to new analysis released Wednesday."
@nbcnews reports: "Army reservist Robert Card, 40, carried out the shootings at a bowling alley and a bar on Oct. 25, sparking a multistate manhunt that ended when he was found dead days later by suicide."

The delicate tissue sheaths that insulate each biological circuit lay in “disorganized clumps,” & throughout #RobertCard’s #brain there was scarring & inflammation suggesting repeated #trauma.
This was not #CTE, the report said. It was a characteristic pattern of damage that has been found before in #military #veterans who were repeatedly exposed to #weapons #blasts during their service.

His brain was sent to a #Veterans Affairs laboratory in Boston that is known for its pioneering work documenting chronic #traumatic #encephalopathy, or #CTE, in athletes.
Acc/to the lab’s report, prepared on Feb 26 & updated on Wednesday, the white matter that forms the wiring deep in the #brain had “moderately severe” damage, & in some areas was missing entirely.

The #gunman, #RobertCard, was a #grenade instructor in the #ArmyReserve. In 2023, after 8 yrs of being exposed to thousands of skull-shaking blasts on the training range, he began hearing #voices & was stalked by #paranoid #delusions. He grew increasingly erratic & #violent in the months before the Oct rampage in #Lewiston, in which he killed 18 people & then himself.

A specialized laboratory examining the #brain of the gunman who committed #Maine’s deadliest #MassShooting found profound #BrainDamage of the kind that has been seen in #veterans exposed to repeated blasts from #weapons use.
The lab’s findings were included in an autopsy report that was compiled by the Maine chief ME’s office & released by the #gunman’s family.

We still have time in OUR towns to demand this change before we also find ourselves among the grieving and angry.
"They’re calling for accessible mental health care, restrictions on firearms and more aggressive law enforcement action when a person with access to weapons is exhibiting psychosis."

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 @ https://www.facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/posts/pfbid0TUxz8eduxzn1vf6dNC2YaptKfF1ZLj6q51AN4DJBmEGvfZt9ZUsNHh9eR2AoXz4Dl)

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."

As we deal w/ another #schoolshooting (6 dead in #Nashville) we learn the shooter was armed w/ 3 #guns: 2 semi-automatic rifles & a handgun. Biden has called for a ban on #assaultweapons. Please sign this #petition to tell #Congress to stand up to the NRA, & pass an #assaultweaponsban.
