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]

Beto O'Rourke profiles just get sadder and sadder
on October 6, 2022 at 2:00 am
<![CDATA[Politico Magazine published a Beto O'Rourke profile this morning. The headline sort of hints at the possibility that this particular cottage industry for the media could be coming to an end soon: "Beto O’Rourke Is Making His Last Stand in Texas." The story itself doesn't offer much hope that Beto is heading for anything but another disappointment. He's literally praying for a miracle.]]>

NOLA mayor agrees to reimburse city for travel tickets after latest questionable action is uncovered
on October 6, 2022 at 12:41 am
<![CDATA[New Orleans has 99 problems and the mayor's airline ticket expenses shouldn't be one of them. And first they were, but now they won't be. According to Mayor LaToya Cantrell, she will reimburse the city to the tune of about $30,000 for the purchase of first-class airline tickets during her travels to Europe.]]>
Is 90% of America in a "mental health crisis?"
on October 6, 2022 at 12:01 am
<![CDATA[By this point, I've lost track of the number of times I've published articles here wherein I've invoked some version of the phrase, "the world is going crazy." I make no apologies for this, as the evidence is all around us. The spiraling political and social debates that play out every day, sometimes resulting in violence, would seem to be obvious indicators. The positions being taken by political activists on any number of issues that seem to be clearly insane are too numerous to list here in the space available. But are Americans really "going crazy" in the medical sense of the phrase? That's a question that was put to the public in a recent survey conducted by CNN and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Is America in the midst of a mental health crisis? As it turns out, the overwhelming majority of respondents felt that the country is indeed falling into a dark pit of mental instability.]]>

<![CDATA[It has been a tough couple of weeks for the UK trans charity/advocacy group called Mermaids. It started with a report from the Telegraph that Mermaids had been sending out "breast binders" to teen girls as young as 13, even when they knew the child's parents opposed it.]]>
