You’ll never reduce gun violence if you keep letting the gun violators run wild. https://t.co/e6mBrWsPjz

Your regular reminder that handguns are already outlawed in Chicago.

Not gonna happen, is pie in

Not gonna happen, is pie in the sky. The massive number of handguns will still be out there and unless there is a law stopping production of the ammunition they require, they will be used for a long time, legally or illegally.

Plus there is great danger right now about changing what is legal. Nov. 2 and Nov. 1 NYTimes op-eds:

I'm not really quite sure

I'm not really quite sure what the point of that gratuitous post was.

I will say that recent events involving Alec Baldwin demonstrate again why less lethal methods are necessary. The studio has vowed that it will only use airsoft guns for movies and add flames in with CGI during post-production. This is something that was possible a long time ago, so why live rounds were on set is a question that should be addressed.

In addition to the Byrna, which looks like a gun, there are similar devices available that don't look like guns at all. I would say that this all is progress, as people shouldn't be rolling around with deadly force when it's not necessary or helpful.

Realistically, I think police departments are about to equip non-lethal guns alongside with real firepower, with the former replacing tasers.

Obviously that would make the "I was reaching for my taser" argument even worse, but it would also give non-lethal options more possibility since a taser is pretty useless unless you are in close proximity to a subject.

Man shot dead by cops ID'd as killer of 19-year-old at South Seattle church

by Quixem Ramirez, KOMO News Digital Producer, Wednesday, August 11th 2021

SEATTLE — A homicide suspect gunned down after allegedly firing at officers in White Center on Aug. 5 was the suspect accused of killing a 19-year-old at a South Seattle church, authorities confirmed Tuesday.

There are about 1000 killed

There are about 1000 killed by police every year. Every year about 25 of those are wielding toy guns. Many more real guns, a variety of other categories.

Last year there were 14,000 gun murders. This year through June there were already 10,000 gun murders. Now criminals are 3D printing semi-autimatics weapons with new materials. Perhaps we could give the gun murderers bean bags first, and then if that works convert the police over. The US isn't Europe - people are fairly sane over here.

We've had tempeh and tofu everywhere for decades - just a drop in the bucket among meat eaters - any pick up in vegetarianism is offset by population growth of meat eaters.

Currently there's almost no electric auto infrastructure - charging stations etc. While some of the big auto makers are rolling out EVs, we're still years from making a huge dent in gas car sales. If anything all the electric scooters just add to the chaotic traffic, plus we don't know how to dispose of all the batteries.

Andrew Yang is a joke - his major claim to fame was cashing out for a piddling $1 million from some do-gooder charity management startup that never had real numbers. And he's going to turn our economy around?

Democrats better get serious. Too much patting ourselves on the back.
