No doubt pro-weapon lobbyists will twist this story to somehow justify gun ownership. America has many things to be proud of, but its gun laws are a tragic, anachronistic mess. If you feel the need to purchase a weapon to protect yourself from your fellow citizens, your society’s seriously flawed.

@kyp92 wa ha ha.

Same man.

“In December 2021, Mr Cartwright went to the Rockhampton Police Station and demanded the officer-in-charge be arrested. As a result, his licence was suspended and then formally revoked…

‘A QCAT member noted in the decision: "I am unable to engage with such submissions from Mr Cartwright on the basis that they are incomprehensible".
‘The tribunal found "Mr Cartwright has evinced a discernible view that the Weapons Act does not apply to him".’

Not sure why a 501-c3 Nonprofit should be allowed tax free status while calling for the destruction of Federal agencies.

GUN SAFETY AND THE FEE-FOR-OPPOSITION SYSTEM
Mastodon Post

We have had another mass shooting, this time in Arkansas, sponsored as always by the gun lobby and "Republicans" who work on a fee-for-opposition basis with their gun lobby benefactors.

Creepy analysis of US gun use supports defensive myths to be perpetuated in lawsuits and other litigation, and supported by usual suspects Alito, Kavanaugh and Thomas.

US SUPREME COURT RELAXES RULES AGAINST MASS SHOOTINGS
Mastodon Post

The Supreme Court just effectively legalized machine guns

-- Vox.com

The United States Supreme Court is determined to give Americans government we don't want.

The Trump Reich already has its Supreme Court.

@sidereal I think the gun lobby strategy to thin the US population (while financing their lavish lifestyle) has been to entice collectors (wealthy) to have multiple guns, make cocaine products or other amphetamines available and glamorous, add a tincture of cocktail culture and first person shooter games. Make this lifestyle and/fantasy aspirational to wannabes and misogynists. #Toxicmixture #gunlobby #richwhitemenwithguns #malefantasies

"REPUBLICANS"
Mastodon Post

"Republicans" do not accept the outcome of elections except when they win.

"Republicans" do not accept the peaceful transfer of power except when they win.

"Republicans: do not believe in the rule of law except when they win in court.

"Republicans" do not accept that no one is above the law. "Republicans," they believe, ARE above the law, starting with Donald Trump.

"Republicans" believe in getting their way one hundred percent of the time.

"Republicans" believe in battlefield weapons on American streets.

"Republicans" believe in guns in the hands of everyone including criminals.

"Republicans" believe in gun lobby money.

And, of course, "Republicans" believe in forced birth.

…Biden accused #Trump of prioritizing the desires of the #GunLobby over #PublicSafety.…

"Tonight, Donald Trump confirmed that he will do exactly what the #NRA tells him to do - even if it means more death, more shootings, & more suffering,"— #Biden camp spox.

…Trump repeated a false claim that he won the 2020 election, & he went after Biden in aggressive terms, repeating claims of corruption that are not supported by available #evidence.

"I think you're a rebellious bunch. But let's be rebellious & vote this time."

The nation's top #gun rights group has now endorsed #Trump 3X - in 2016, 2020 & 2024.

The org cheered on Trump during his 2017-2021 term, as he appointed 3 #conservative justices to #SCOTUS & took a series of steps sought by the #GunLobby.…Including designating #firearm shops as “essential businesses” during the #COVID19 #pandemic, allowing them to stay open.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COLUMBINE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS
Mastodon Post

There have been at least 2,032 school shootings since Columbine. These shootings have been proudly sponsored by Republicans and their gun lobby paymasters.

To simplify a bit, according to news segment on NPR yesterday, Republicans have been more motivated to protect "gun rights" than Democrats have been to vote for gun control. The exception noted was young people. Maybe young voters can help to fight gun violence or even lead the charge.

NPR News, by the way, has a mobile app.
