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]

Michigan congressman's campaign office targeted by Jane's Revenge
on June 24, 2022 at 5:21 pm
<![CDATA[Pro-abortion activists have threatened a night of rage when the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v Wade comes down. This assumes that the leaked draft of an opinion written by Justice Alito will be the final ruling of the Supreme Court in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case. Violent attacks credited to a group called Jane's Revenge have already begun and the latest attack reported is one on the campaign headquarters of Rep. Tim Walberg, a Republican running for re-election in Michigan.]]>
Still slidin': Biden plunges in Reuters poll -- and in Michigan House race?
on June 24, 2022 at 4:41 pm
<![CDATA[Reuters? Up until a month ago, the Reuters tracking poll existed on the other end of the outlier spectrum. At that point, Joe Biden's approval gap in the Reuters survey was still the negative single digits while almost every other pollster had Biden deep into double digits.]]>
Pelosi blames Trump and McConnell for "their dark extreme goal" in Dobbs, but ... what about an important Democrat?
on June 24, 2022 at 4:01 pm
<![CDATA[Alternate headline: Pope Nancy is not amused. Nancy Pelosi rushed to the microphone, acknowledging at one point that her staff was still reading the Dobbs decision, to accuse the Supreme Court of "ripping away women's rights" and realizing Republicans' "dark extreme goal." Pelosi placed the blame on Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, but she left out an important player in how the Supreme Court got its current line-up:]]>

BREAKING: SCOTUS overturns Roe in Dobbs -- on Alito opinion, 6-3
on June 24, 2022 at 2:31 pm
<![CDATA[The reign of Roe has come to an end, and with it the reign of Doe and Casey as well. The Supreme Court overturned Roe and all its successor precedents in a blockbuster ruling over an abortion-restricting law in Mississippi. The leaked draft opinion from Justice Samuel Alito turned out to be the controlling opinion, and all of the intimidation tactics didn't apparently make any difference at all.]]>
