Gun Control

Post by BoSoxGal »

Last weekend we experienced multiple mass shootings, I think seven although it is getting hard to keep track.

One of those mass shootings involved a Marine veteran who used an AR-15 to slaughter some folks at a waterfront eatery/bar in NC. See story here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/nigel-edge-no ... =126034075

Here you can peruse the federal district court ruling dismissing the shooter's lawsuit against the USA, his parents, and various other defendants alleging a bunch of weird shit clearly indicating serious mental illness; this order was issued in March of this year:

North Carolina doesn't have a red flag law, although one has since been proposed (again) by the Democratic governor in the wake of this massacre of innocents.

The internet tells me that in 2022, 87% of North Carolinians expressed support for a red flag law. https://www.ncgv.org/extreme-risk-prote ... flag%20law.

WTAF??? How do we break the stranglehold of the NRA on our elected officials???
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
