Americans bring guns to protests and then somebody gets shot dead, by the people who were supposedly there to protect them. Clown shoes everywhere.
Only in fucking America.....
After last week's school shooting in Graz, Austria's chancellor Stocker wants to improve our weapons law, for instance regarding age limit and weapons type.
The attacker was a male 21 years old Austrian. He was deemed unsuitable for compulsory military service because of psychological reasons but was able to pass the psychological test that is necessary to buy a gun. So now there are plans to better share this information.

Study reveals less gun control = more dead children!
"Permissive firearm laws contributed to thousands of excess firearm deaths among children living in states with permissive policies.
The largest increase occurred in the non-Hispanic Black children."
"States with strict firearm policies had statistical decreases in pediatric firearm mortality during the study period."

The study, published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics, examined the 13-year period after the June 2010 #SCOTUS ruling that the #SecondAmendment, which protects the right to bear arms, applies to state & local #GunControl laws. The decision effectively limited the ability of #state & #local #governments to regulate #firearms.

Dr. Jeremy Faust, an ER doctor at Mass General Brigham Hospital in Boston, who was the study’s lead author, said he was dismayed to find that most of the #children’s #deaths were #homicides & #suicides.
“It’s surprising how few of these are accidents. I always thought that a lot of pediatric mortality from #guns is that somebody got into the wrong place, & I still think #SafeStorage is important, but it’s mostly homicides & suicides,”Faust said.
Firearm #deaths of #children & #teenagers rose significantly in states that enacted more permissive #GunLaws after #SCOTUS in 2010 limited local govts ability to restrict gun ownership, a new study has found.
In states that maintained stricter laws, gun deaths were stable after the ruling, researchers reported, & in some, even declined.
#Guns are the leading cause of death in the #US for people ages 1–17, acc/to the #CDC.

#Mexico had argued that the #gun industry’s production & sale of arms in the US had helped fuel & supply #DrugCartels, harming the Mexican govt. Mexican govt lawyers also claimed the companies were aware that some of their #guns were illegally trafficked, & that the country should therefore be allowed to sue.

In a unanimous decision by Justice Elena #Kagan, #SCOTUS held that a lawsuit by the Mexican government was barred by #US #legislation that insulates #GunMakers from #liability. #Mexico, she wrote, had not plausibly argued that American #GunManufacturers had aided & abetted in unlawful #gun sales to Mexican #DrugTraffickers.

PBS News · Supreme Court declines to hear challenge to Maryland assault weapons banThe Maryland law was passed after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that killed 20 children and six adults.
"The man accused of attacking a a pro-Israel peace parade with molotov cocktails in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday told authorities he planned to use a gun and took a concealed firearm class – but was denied the purchase because he was not a US citizen."
Wow. Imagine what this man would have done with a gun. Imagine how much MORE damage he would have caused. It's almost like #GunControl works.
