Since 2005, the NRA and the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council have helped make these so-called "stand your ground" laws the norm. #standyourground #gundeaths #NRA #ALEC #dutytoretreat #firearms #gundata #selfdefense MORE: america.cgtn.com/2023/05/05/did…
As more states adopted the recommended language of special interest groups, gun manufacturing rose significantly. READ MORE: america.cgtn.com/2023/05/05/did…

A tragic school shooting in Belgrade on Wednesday, May 3 left eight students and a security guard dead, with the suspected 13-year-old gunman allegedly using his father's two handguns to carry out the pre-planned attack, police say. ImageImageImageImage
Six other pupils and a teacher were hospitalized, some with life-threatening injuries. The young suspected attacker, who will be placed in a psychiatric institution due to being below Serbia's age of criminal responsibility, surrendered to the police after the shooting. ImageImageImage
The devastating event has prompted Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic to announce stricter #guncontrol measures, including a moratorium on new gun licenses, revisions of existing permits, and increased surveillance of shooting ranges and civilian weapon storage.

@MelissaRTodd Of course they do, why wouldn't they?

Americans have a #SecondAmendment right to carry #firearms, so they can #TakeDownTheGovernment if the #Government becomes #tyrannical. Ever since March 2020 I've been thinking what #ABloodyGoodIdea that was !!!

Wish we had a 2ndAmendment!
@MelissaRTodd Here's #NaomiRWolf, discussing her book, #TheEndOfAmerica:



Naomi taught me why #TheSecondAmendment is so important.

Are you a voter in SW WA State?

Not sure whom you will vote for in the US House race in #WA03?

By the end of this #debate, you will be sure, and I guarantee it will be @MGPforCongress

Wow, @JoeKent claims the Feds stopped Salmon Fishing in the Columbia River Gorge.

Nope. The Columbia River Compact (local Oregon/WA people make it up) made some restrictions, but not everywhere.

Joe Kent is WRONG for SW WA. Why? Just listen to him.

April 2021 post by Kent on @YouTube (where he turned comments off, like he can't take the heat from future constituents) after a visit on Steve Bannon's WarRoom show:

Policing is facing #recruitment crisis: # applicants continue to ↓ across continent.

One tool freq used by #police = recruitment videos. But what do these videos highlight & how can they affect who applies?

In new article, I explore these ?s: doi.org/10.1093/police…

🧵:

1/15 Image
Police #recruitment #videos serve several related functions, incl to:

1. Attract prospective applicants to the PD;

2. Communicate specific roles, responsibilities & benefits of a career with the PD;

3. Help prospective applicants assess their potential with the PD.

2/15
In light of their functions, it’s important to consider how content of #videos may impact who applies for #policing #careers, and, in turn, who becomes police officers.

This is especially relevant given the challenges currently facing #policing, like the legitimacy crisis.

The words we use can derail our best efforts ... or lead to productive partnerships and positive change.

It was a joy to collaborate with @JillHF_AFSP @fatimah_loren @PincusRob @meganranney on this @AMJPublicHealth paper after our webinar discussion

1/
We offer suggestions on how to talk about #firearms, #suicide, and #communityviolence ... we hope it's a useful starting point

It's critical to engage affected communities - including firearm owners - and attention to language may help build trust and partnership
2/
Similarly, #SuicidePrevention needs to engage those with lived experience - and language is equally important. We offer a few examples (h/t to excellent existing resources, e.g. reportingonsuicide.org)

1/7 The key question is: will the firearms bill announced yesterday make Canadians more safe? The answer is no. #canpoli #publicsafety #firearms
2/7 Nearly 500 shootings in Toronto last yr. Near record yr (despite existing gun ban & lockdwns) & vast majority by gangs- with illegal guns. Bill C-21 muni power & confiscation-in-place program only targets already law abiding firearms owners.
3/7 #CPC opposes the OiC & the confiscation of firearms from law abiding, licensed owners. How can #LPC actually not have brought forward compensation details while prohibiting use, transfer, transport, or sale?

1) Today's story is called The Brink.

They never thought she'd lose, now we understand the #NWO plan to destroy America, see 1991 Bush I vid. Obama took over the process from Bush II and embarked on an 8 year wrecking ball. #QAnon #GreatAwakening @POTUS
2) For years rogue operatives have been getting installed. Shadow government/#DeepState. All centers of #Government. Controlled by the wealthiest on the planet, most rogue was the CIA. Goal was complete control to dismantle. Check Out Barry's Book: Post American World #QAnon
3) The systematic leaking of classified intel was everywhere, so was exposure of #military assets. Instead if de-funding military (bad optics), you starve thru corruption. Notice #Mattis has a massive audit of DOD? Think why.
