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]

Opponents of Atlanta's police training center have been giving public comment for 8 hours (Update: 'If you build it, we will burn it')
on June 6, 2023 at 2:40 am
<![CDATA[Today is the day the Atlanta City Council is scheduled to vote to approve $30 million for the new police training center which opponents have dubbed "cop city." Since this is their last chance to stop it, the opponents are going all out. That means showing up in numbers to offer a seemingly endless number of public comments denouncing the plan. The vote was supposed to take place at 1 pm but protesters have been haranguing the city council for about 8 hours.]]>
China: War with US would be "unbearable disaster"
on June 6, 2023 at 2:01 am
<![CDATA[An unusual and perhaps notable event unfolded at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore this week, one of the only regional defense summits in the region held each year. Most of you are already no doubt aware of the increasing level of tension between the United States and China that has been growing steadily for the past two years. Many have been speculating about the possibility of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan and even the possibility of World War 3. But Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu addressed the conference and took a decidedly different tone than we've been hearing out of Beijing recently. He bemoaned the idea that "some countries" (obviously meaning America) were "intensifying an arms race." He also declared that war with the United States would be an "unbearable disaster" all around and should be avoided. So what was he up to? Is this a change in policy or simply a case of adaptive tactics based on the actions of Joe Biden? (BBC)]]>
The Ukrainian counteroffensive has (probably) begun

Trans drug-dealing prisoner hits the jackpot
on June 6, 2023 at 12:01 am
<![CDATA[In Minnesota, a male-to-female transgender prisoner who was locked up on drug charges scored a significant win in court last week. Christina Lusk had sued the Department of Corrections over the prison's refusal to transfer him to a women's prison and failure to provide him with medical care in the form of sex-change surgery. The DOC recently decided to settle the case in Lusk's favor. He will receive nearly $500,000, be provided with "vaginoplasty" surgery, and be transferred to the Shakopee women's prison next week. So... all's well that end's well? (Fox News)]]>
