Ever heard of the TIAHRT amendment?

Neither had I until Omar Jimenez/CNN bright it up covering in Baltimore.

It's a major impediment to the ability of researchers to get data linking to crimes.

Another reason to vote Rs out, they support guns, not .

Conversion devices that can convert legal semi-auto.🔫 s can be made on a 3D printer in about 35 min. or ordered from overseas online for <$30 & quick to install.

They modify the gun’s machinery. Instead of firing one round each time the shooter squeezes the trigger, a semi-auto. weapon with the device starts firing as soon as the trigger goes down & doesn’t stop until the shooter lets go or out of ammo.

The Florida House of Representatives just passed a bill to lower the minimum age to purchase AR-15s to 18 years old.

As long as Republicans are in charge of much of the nation, gun reform won't be addressed. More innocents will die, their loved ones will suffer, & America loses. Another tragedy because of gun violence:

An active shooter at another one of America's schools today. Multiple victims have been reported at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa.

"As I stared in disbelief -this was actually a pile of dead children."

The Post's decision "to advance the public’s understanding of mass killers’ increasing use of this readily available weapon -designed for war, while being sensitive to victims’ families & comms directly affected by AR-15 shootings": correct.

We must see the damage these weapons inflict. And know the source of the problem: REPUBLICANS, who must be voted out to save lives🚨.

When will politicians learn ....
Too many guns ...
Too few responsible gun owners ...
Too lenient gun laws ...
Too many hot headed personalities owning guns ...

Most of all Too many incidents of mass shooting in our country.

Sources said that two of the shooting victims are believed to be just eight and 13 years old.

The shooting unfolded on Sunday night.

Their identities and conditions remain unknown.

Some good news: The SC on Fri declined to revive a Missouri law that bars state & local officials from enforcing certain federal gun restrictions that the Republican-crafted law had claimed to nullify for violating firearms rights protected by the Const.'s . Handing a victory to Pres Biden's admin the justices rejected a request by MO officials to halt a fed judge's ruling that invalidated the 2021 state law, called the 2A Preservation Act.

In one of the most dangerous states for gun violence, the ingrained🔫culture, unrestricted access to🔫 s, & proliferation of🔫s in the hands of residents (some are: unstable, careless, seek vigilante justice, believe the ‘stand your ground law’ is a license to maim or kill…) will lead to even more carnage in Texas: Many Texans use guns as the solution to the problem, not the problem itself. In TX, guns are everywhere, whether concealed or in the open🚨. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/09/26/texas-guns-open-concealed-carry-laws/

The gun violence prevention office & American Climate Corps are beneficial for the country & will appeal to , securing more Dem votes in 2024💙: Pres Biden on Fri will announce the creation of a new office for gun violence prevention to tackle the issue amid stalled progress in Congress. The move comes amid stalled progress on firearms legislation. A single point of leadership on gun violence in the admin -very big deal for the movement.

NICE! As much as I hate the right every once in a while they do something good. Apparently now states must issue permits to carry a handgun to anyone who requests it unless they have an explicit reason not to (like they have a criminal history)... This makes all states "shall issue" states!

This is great, am really excited to see the being expanded!
