I have never treated a toddler with a self-inflicted GSW; they go to the morgue. The reason is because they lack the strength to pull the trigger with their index fingers, toddlers must use their thumbs. This results with the barrel pointed directly at their face or chest.
Horrified? You should be.
There are so many times when I am able to intervene and offer public health advice after a cardinal event (eg distal radius fracture after unhelmeted bicycle crash).

Breaking 2nd Amendment victory out of the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (NJ, PA, DE). En banc panel finds that a person with a State food stamp fraud conviction punishable with imprisonment up to 5 years should not be deprived of #2A rights. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/21283…

"As Americans, we have every reason to celebrate our rights and freedoms, especially on Independence Day."

If we choose to change, just imagine what we can do. What makes America great has never been its perfection, but the belief that it can be made better. And that people who love this country can change it.

In hearings around the country, Americans reaffirmed our belief that this great nation can compete–and succeed–in the 21st Century but only if we take a new approach. One that is both innovative and faithful to the basic economic principles that made this country great.

- Speaker Jon Arch says Hunt was late coming back from lunch, that's why she was skipped over
Sen. Hunt is consistently late in the mornings & for committees

Senator Hunt rudely attempts to speak while the Speaker has his time. Speaker Arch proceeds to say, "Please Senator."
Arch continues to say the session is not over (in response to Hunt earlier this morning)

so, let's talk about how #2A / #2AMaga cultism—you know, @NRA-fuelled obsession with a comically absolutist reading of the Second Amendment of the @usconstitution—is a tool of fascıst politics.

the *false premise* of Second-Amendment cultism is that unrestrained ownership of firearms is the great equalizer. "God made Man but #Colt made them equal," and so forth.
the @NRA, the @GOP, and bountiful #conservative propaganda promote this idol: equality through guns.

but guns are just *things*, just stuff—consumer products—and therefore, allowing "anyone" to buy a gun favors only the idle rich. it's privileged "passive income" types like @Timcast and @Cernovich, people who have great gobs of free time and leisure, who hoard firearms.

@moodyredhead @EdBlackEsq @secretbnuy762 @txradioguy @Tactical_review @lordthx1139 @Winning4Him In the first paragraph, he says that in Heller, SCOTUS said that certain types of 'especially powerful weapons' might be subject to regulations.
That's not what they said.
They said that DANGEROUS AND UNUSUAL weapons might be.

The federal gun ban for #marijuana users is absurdly unconstitutional considering the legality & decriminalization of both medical & recreational marijuana at the state level
No one should go to jail for engaging in lawful activity & also choosing to exercise their #2A rights

Similarly, the lifetime gun ban for "domestic abusers" is problematic as a ban on the right to self-defense for those who have only been convicted of a misdemeanor

Hey @Springfield_Inc @theArmaLite you guys are Illinois businesses sitting by watching Pritzker & communists in the IL Leg gut the second amendment & target your buyers, your employees & your products. What are you doing to help us Americans fight back?
@Guns_Gadgets is right: its not all the responsibility of @GunOwners & @gunpolicy & smaller #2A groups to fund & fight the abuses of power meant to end the Second Amendment- companies need to put skin in the game.
As hundreds pack the hallway of the Nebraska state Capitol, the @NebraskaFreedom Coalition is in hearing room 1113 to bring you testimonials for and against LB 314, 17, and Constitutional Carry - LB77. We will be testifying in support of LB 77 later today 👍🇺🇲 Stay tuned... 👀
@MomsDemand is on site, as is representation from @GunOwners of America, who passed out these hats to those waiting in line 👍 a quick gauge of the crowd has those in favor of constitutional carry out numbering those against - 2 to 1 it would seem 💯 God bless America #2A 🇺🇲
Of note, Republican Senator Geist was at a campaign event earlier and missed the first of 3 bills! Last session, Geist did not support constitutional carry. We hope she gets real and listens to her constituents, in support of constitutional carry this session 👍

Inflation measured by the CPI peaked around 9% in mid-2022 and is heading towards the key 2% level. Many thinks that with this downtrend the money printer could be back on.
Assuming so, what would it mean for $BTC price?

I wish he'd get some new material.
The quote, by the way, which comes from a Jefferson letter. says, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots *and tyrants.”* He always skips that last part.
I'm pretty big on the #2A and I have never once heard anyone use this quote to rationalize gun ownership.
Time for a thread! Over this weekend, a lot of very important legal happenings have occurred, particularly in regards to the Second Amendment. #2A
During the last Supreme Court Session, the US Supreme Court wrote a landmark decision in the NYSPRA v Bruen (NY) case, and its well known. But another equally important but lesser noticed landmark case was also decided last term, and it is having earth shaking effects.
Last term, a case came before the US Supreme Court, where West Virginia sued the EPA for egregious changes to the clean air act that essentially rewrote the law with much tougher restrictions. This was done at the Biden admin's direction to directly target the WV Coal industry.
ATF is also being sued for abusing Chevron Deference to rewrite law on frames/receivers to placate Biden’s attack on 80%’s. And its going to lose in court & the rule found illegal. Then the process will repeat w ATFs rule on pistol braces.
The ATF’s rewriting of law (illegally) to regulate & ban 80% firearms, AR pistols & bump stocks are ALL going to be found illegal in federal court & the lawsuits are under way.
The ATF is screwed: the Supreme Court landmark decision in West Virginia v EPA absolutely gutted their authority & made their rule changes rewriting law illegal overnight.
BREAKING #2A News: A New York Supreme Court Justice ruled that N.Y.’s Red Flag laws are unconstitutional.

1. A Primer on "Facts vs. Reality"
Believe it or not, the vast majority of what appears in mainstream media (MSM) outlets is factually correct, if you know how to separate facts from opinion. But it rarely reflects reality. The distinction is critical and well worth learning.
Believe it or not, the vast majority of what appears in mainstream media (MSM) outlets is factually correct, if you know how to separate facts from opinion. But it rarely reflects reality. The distinction is critical and well worth learning.
2. First and foremost, let me tell you how to glean facts from what is reported in the MSM.
"Just discard all the adjectives and adverbs in a headline and the content of a story, what remains is mostly facts." Example:
Headline: "XXX Gave a Fiery Speech"
Fact: "XXX Gave a Speech"
"Just discard all the adjectives and adverbs in a headline and the content of a story, what remains is mostly facts." Example:
Headline: "XXX Gave a Fiery Speech"
Fact: "XXX Gave a Speech"
3. Okay, so if MSM mostly presents facts, bathed in opinion, why can't we get a sense of what is really going on in the world by just homing in on the facts presented by the media, by discarding all the adjectives and adverbs?
Yes, but if we had 100% background checks, gun permits, red flag laws, and made our background checks meaningful, gun makers would lose business. Neither they, Congress nor the NRA want that. What's 40,000 lives a year when there's money involved? #GunSense #2A #2ndAmendment 1/

@GovRonDeSantis “Constitutional carry means that the state's law does not prohibit citizens who can legally possess a firearm from carrying handguns (openly and/or in a concealed manner) thus no state permit is required.” Florida currently bans open carry.
@GovRonDeSantis I’m ex military and just want a quiet place to live life and watch my kids grow up. You know, get a bit of land, sit on my front porch, watch em play, send em to a school teaching solid values without the woke crud, the crt, the gender ideology, etc.
@GovRonDeSantis my wife has been after me for the last 2 years to move to Florida from Kentucky. One of the largest blockers has to do with #2A. I live in KY because of the values my neighbors and I mutually hold, to include the right to bear arms without government day so.
