That's what makes him so dangerous. Cruz & Gaetz are somewhat clever too and about as dangerous. MTG & Bobo are the clear winners for the dumb and dangerous prizes. MJ I'm still trying to figure out. Seems dangerous though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the destroyer of worlds Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 We all know the US definition of mass shooting. They also have defined what a mass KILLING is. If we go by the more extreme mass killing standard, the US had 4 a month or just under once a week as we are in week 43 of the year. 36 mass killings. The shooting was the country’s 36th mass killing this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. At least 190 people have died in those killings, which are defined as incidents in which four or more people have died within a 24-hour period, not including the killer — the same definition used by the FBI. https://apnews.com/article/mass-killings-united-states-list-8eea3427796229eb127e052b3c66c691 A list of mass killings in the United States since January 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the destroyer of worlds Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 So, I guess now that we have a clear cut case where someone with mental health issues perpetrated a mass killing, the QOP is going to push for improve funding for mental health. They are going to champion treatment for mental healthcare. Just kidding, we all know that the only thing they are going to champion is thoughts and prayers while they try to gut programs like Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security and then slash taxes for their rich buddies. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the destroyer of worlds Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 When they say some gun control measures, they are Maine's yellow flag law only allows law enforcement members to make a similar petition and they must take the person into protective custody before the petition is made, according to the law. The law also mandates a medical evaluation before the case can be presented to a judge. and Maine does not have a secure storage law that mandates firearms be stored in a locker or similar secure device. However, it recently amended its laws to attempt to prevent children from gaining possession of a loaded weapon. In 2021, Maine's state legislature passed a child endangerment law that, among other things, makes it a crime to leave a loaded firearm unsecured in the presence of a child under 16 years of age. The gun owner has three options to abide by the law: store the weapon in "a locked box, locked gun safe or other secure, locked space"; have the weapon "stored or left in a location that a reasonable person would believe to be secure"; or secure the firearm with "a trigger lock or similar device that prevents the firearm from discharging," according to the law. Other than that, Maine has pretty lax gun laws. They are about the best NRA wet dream of a state. https://abcnews.go.com/US/maines-gun-laws-after-lewiston-mass-shooting/story?id=104348166 What to know about Maine's gun laws after Lewiston mass shooting The state has recently implemented some gun control measures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
