Malcom Gladwell Revisionist History podcast has a 4 part series out about the gun debate. Good listen. Great critiques of both sides of the discussion.

County Sheriff seemed none too pleased. He warned the Council this was likely and guess what…
The posts on the Twitter links in that article were stupidity-inducing.
Wonder if your governor would ask the feds for hate crime charges?

Speaking of that punk, this is my View Right Now. Needed a drill bit so I stopped at the famous Ace Hardware down the road. Why is it famous? This is where Rittenhouse bought his gun.Quote:

It’s still where Rittenhouse got his gun. Your pedantic post makes his actions ever more heinous.

NYTimes looking at kids dying from guns; tl;dr is that the only two significant sources of increased childhood deaths recently in the US are drug exposure and guns, while most other causes (eg cars) have seen decreasing numbers:

No, there’s no gun problem in the US.Quote:
MADISON, Wis. — A man with a handgun showed up at the Wisconsin Capitol demanding to see Gov. Tony Evers (D) on Wednesday, was arrested, posted bail, returned with a rifle and was taken into protective custody, according to police.
You can buy guns at the hardware store? Here all they have are various expensive hose reels, a rack of plumbing fittings which magically never has the one you need, and a counter to get keys cut that requires a 15-minute waiting buy-in before someone will come and help you. No guns though, that just seems weird man.Quote:

When it comes to a mom and pop gas station where do they draw the line between a licensed gun dealer doing background checks and an informal bubba or personal l perpetual gun show status?Quote:
