Alarm Over Growing Use of Weapons at Rallies
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on August 27, 2021 at 12:00 am
A gunfight in Portland, Oregon, last week is intensifying concerns over escalating violence during contentious rallies in the city, as far-right demonstrators and anti-fascist counter-protesters have repeatedly faced off. The Portland police bureau charged a 65-year-old man from Gresham, Oregon, over a gunfight in the city's downtown during violent clashes on Sunday. Authorities say Dennis Anderson drew a concealed handgun and shot at a group of anti-fascists who were... [Guardian, via GunPolicy.org]
Mexico Sues US Gunmakers to Stop Weapons Crossing Border
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on August 4, 2021 at 12:00 am
The Mexican government has launched legal action against US gunmakers in an unprecedented attempt to halt the flow of guns across the border, where US-made weapons are routinely used in cartel gun-battles, terror attacks on civilians – and increasingly to challenge the state itself. The Mexican government is suing six gunmakers in a Massachusetts court, alleging negligence in their failure to control their distributors and that the illegal market in Mexico "has been...

Pandemic gun violence surge was not linked to rise in gun sales, study finds
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on July 9, 2021 at 12:00 am
Gun homicides surged across the United States during the coronavirus pandemic, in the same year that Americans bought a record-breaking number of guns. But some of America's leading gun violence researchers have concluded that what might seem like an obvious cause-and-effect – a surge in gun buying leads to a surge in gun violence – is not supported by the data. Through July of last year, there was no clear association between the increase in firearm purchases and... [Guardian, via GunPolicy.org]
New York Defines Illegal Firearms Use as a 'Public Nuisance'
by Conversation, via GunPolicy.org on July 7, 2021 at 12:00 am
Could calling the illegal use of firearms a "public nuisance" bring an end to the gun industry's immunity from civil lawsuits? New York will soon test that notion. State lawmakers recently amended New York's public nuisance statute to specifically include marketing and sales practices that contribute to gun crimes. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bill on July 6, 2021, after declaring gun violence a "disaster emergency." I've been researching lawsuits against the gun... [Conversation, via GunPolicy.org]
How Bad is the Rise in US Homicides?
by Guardian, via GunPolicy.org on June 30, 2021 at 12:00 am
There's been a wave of media coverage this summer about an increase in homicides across the United States, with attention often focused on the same political question: will Americans still want to defund or even reform the police if "violent crime" is on the rise? Anxiety about violent crime is often used to win elections. Police and politicians routinely share misleading, out-of-context crime statistics to advance their agendas. Fearmongering about rising crime has... [Guardian, via GunPolicy.org]

White House: Biden opposes court-packing -- even after Dobbs
on June 25, 2022 at 8:01 pm
<![CDATA[Just how much have American politics shifted after the end of Roe? Not as far as some have speculated. As progressive rage against the Supreme Court escalated in the streets of Washington DC and elsewhere, calls have come for Joe Biden to embrace the court-packing schemes that activists advanced after his election, and to which Biden at least pandered initially.]]>
Did Kavanaugh lie to Susan Collins about overturning Roe?
on June 25, 2022 at 6:31 pm
<![CDATA[Short answer: Of course not. Neither Kavanaugh nor any other justice would pledge privately to rule a particular way in a future case. To do so would be unethical.]]>
Is Kamala the new abortion czar?
on June 25, 2022 at 5:01 pm
<![CDATA[Kamala Harris has received several big assignments from her boss, Joe Biden. She's taking on a new one now that the Supreme Court's decision on Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health is in. Kamala is stepping forward and setting herself up as the abortion czar. She doesn't have a good track record on success with her assignments so we can only hope that continues.]]>
Out of gas: Biden loses Dems on gas-tax holiday
on June 25, 2022 at 3:31 pm
<![CDATA[What do you get when you combine a truly dumb idea with completely incompetent political execution? In Joe Biden's administration, this question has multiple answers. Take your pick: Build Back Better, the election-federalizing bill, the abortion-on-demand bill attempted last month after the Supreme Court leak on Dobbs. All of these were bad ideas that didn't have enough political support to go anywhere, so all they did was political damage to Democrats.]]>
The alternate reality where we never needed Roe
on June 25, 2022 at 2:01 pm
<![CDATA[In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health, we immediately saw the anticipated protests breaking out, including threats of violence, arson, and all the rest. Freeways in California were almost immediately shut down and similar marches were taking place in cities across the country. It seems obvious that one decision by the Supreme Court isn't going to make this issue simply go away.]]>
