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]

Those Muslim killings in New Mexico were not what the media expected
on August 10, 2022 at 2:01 pm
<![CDATA[When the news started leaking out about the murders of four Muslim men in Albuquerque, New Mexico, suspicions quickly spread online and in mainstream media. Police suspected that the murders might be "related" in some fashion and asked for the public's help in identifying a suspect. This of course prompted people on social media to suspect that these were hate crimes perpetrated against the Muslim community, no doubt by some sort of Christian white supremacist domestic terrorist, or whatever the flavor of the month is currently. Thanks to some solid investigative work by law enforcement, a suspect was soon identified and taken into custody, partly because of his car which was caught on camera near the scenes of two of the slayings. But rather than fitting the profile of the latest hate crime perpetrator, the accused is himself a Muslim who sometimes attended the same mosque as the victims. He apparently had some sort of beef with them. (Associated Press)]]>
July CPI report: Inflation dips to 8.5%, flat month-on-month -- but why?
on August 10, 2022 at 1:31 pm
<![CDATA[The good news: For the first time in well over a year, month-on-month inflation stopped in the Consumer Price Index for July. The not-so-great news: That was almost entirely related to a sudden fuel decline in demand that normally signals a recession. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the year-on-year inflation rate remained a red-hot 8.5%, down slightly from last month's 9.1% but still one of the highest readings this year:]]>
"Deep" thought from Adams: Send New Yorkers to campaign for Beto in Texas
on August 10, 2022 at 12:30 pm
<![CDATA[The most remarkable part of this clip? Eric Adams is still smarter than Bill de Blasio, but ... the gap is narrowing. Yesterday, the mayor of New York City and the proclaimer of illegal-immigration sanctuary there expressed his frustration that Texas governor Greg Abbott keeps sending him opportunities to make good on that pledge.]]>
Is Ilhan Omar beatable now?
on August 10, 2022 at 12:01 pm
<![CDATA[Given the current conditions in Minneapolis, the fact that Democratic congresswoman and "Squad" member Ilhan Omar drew a primary challenger again wasn't really surprising. That the final tally last night was such a nailbiter made it a lot more interesting, however. Omar survived the challenge from moderate Democrat Don Samuels, but only barely. The final count showed Omar with 50.5% of the vote while Samuels racked up 48% with nearly all precincts reporting. But as her challenger pointed out in his concession speech, this should demonstrate that Omar is beatable, either in a future primary or possibly even in the general election this November. The voters in Minneapolis are frustrated and angry, and Omar's consistent push to "redirect police funds" (read: defund the police) isn't selling as well as it used to. (Associated Press)]]>

on August 10, 2022 at 2:01 am
