The NRA is already trying to juice gun sales by creating fear around a new Biden administration. “Stay vigilant and engaged” sounds a lot like “shoot people who disagree with you” to their supporters - too many of whom have been radicalized by the gun lobby’s extremist agenda.

This NRA owns much of blame for the armed white supremacists trying to undermine American democracy: “The gun-rights movement cleared the path for insurrection. It blew a hole in the rule of law—and Donald Trump’s would-be soldiers clamored through it.” https://t.co/nKH1eyLRUO
Many members of the mob that rioted inside the Capitol lead or belong to so-called “gun-rights groups,” and were motivated by the warnings of tyranny issued by the @NRA. https://t.co/uhQjhJ38Vp
Guns are an integral part of anti-government and white supremacist violence. In 2017, a joint report from the FBI and DHS said “firearms likely will continue to pose the greatest threat of lethal violence by [extremists] due to their availability and ease of use.”
Here’s an example. In October 2018, Donald Trump claimed a “caravan” of migrants was heading to the US from Mexico. NRATV, then the propaganda arm of the NRA, claimed Jewish billionaire George Soros was conspiring with Venezuela to send migrants here to influence the election.
Eight days later, a white supremacist who claimed the government was trying to take Americans’ guns entered the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue and opened fire and killed 11 worshippers. He told an officer, “They’re committing genocide to my people. I just want to kill Jews.”
So what are the solutions? First of all, prohibit open carry. There is no place in a healthy democracy for armed intimidation. Especially in and around statehouses, courthouses and municipal buildings. Over 40 states allow open carry and in 2/3 it’s almost completely unregulated.
Pass extreme risk laws, aka red flag laws, which give family and police a way to intervene before warning signs of violence escalate into tragedies. The law allows them to petition a court for a temporary restraining order to remove guns from someone who is at-risk.
In the fall of 2019, the FBI filed an extreme risk protection order in Washington State against a member of a neo-Nazi group, after the man had started preparing for “an impending race war.” After the order was granted, police seized five military-style rifles and three pistols.
Close the Charleston loophole, which allows gun sales to proceed by default after three business days—even without a completed background check. That’s how the white supremacists who killed nine Black worshipers at an AME church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2017 got his gun.
In at least 54% of the mass shootings between 2009 and 2017, the perpetrator also shot an intimate partner or family member. We must close “boyfriend loophole” in federal law that allows stalkers and dating partners convicted of domestic abuse to have easy access to guns.
Only 22 states and DC require a background check on unlicensed gun sales. That means in 28 states, people with dangerous histories can circumvent the background check system simply by purchasing a gun online or at a gun show. We must close this federal loophole.
White supremacy and anti-government conspiracy theories are fomenting violence across the US. Lax gun laws give domestic terrorists access to some of the deadliest and most effective tools to carry out violence, which is why strengthening our gun laws is more urgent than ever.

More from Government

How does a government put a legislation on 'hold'? Is there any constitutional mechanism for the executive to 'pause' a validly passed legislation? Genuine Koshan.


So a committee of 'wise men/women' selected by the SC will stand in judgement over the law passed by


Here is the thing - a law can be stayed based on usual methods, it can be held unconstitutional based on violation of the Constitution. There is no shortcut to this based on the say so of even a large number of people, merely because they are loud.


Tomorrow can all the income tax payers also gather up at whichever maidan and ask for repealing the income tax law? It hurts us and we can protest quite loudly.

How can a law be stayed or over-turned based on the nuisance value of the protestors? It is anarchy to allow that.
I don't normally do threads like this but I did want to provide some deeper thoughts on the below and why having a video game based on a real world war crime from the same people that received CIA funding isn't the best idea.

This will go pretty in depth FYI.


The core reason why I'm doing this thread is because:

1. It's clear the developers are marketing the game a certain way.

2. This is based on something that actually happened, a war crime no less. I don't have issues with shooter games in general ofc.

Firstly, It's important to acknowledge that the Iraq war was an illegal war, based on lies, a desire for regime change and control of resources in the region.

These were lies that people believed and still believe to this day.

It's also important to mention that the action taken by these aggressors is the reason there was a battle in Fallujah in the first place. People became resistance fighters because they were left with nothing but death and destruction all around them after the illegal invasion.

This is where one of the first red flags comes up.

The game is very much from an American point of view, as shown in the description.

When it mentions Iraqi civilians, it doesn't talk about them as victims, but mentions them as being pro US, fighting alongside them.

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991."

I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
