Texas’ rules on open carry of semi-automatic rifles
(In case you are unfamiliar with Texas, the GOP controlled legislature was pandering to Republican voters. The Nay votes against this law came from Democratic lawmakers.)
• Texas permits open carry of long guns, including assault-style guns, in public except in those places where it is specifically prohibited by law, including schools, polling places, courthouses and racetracks. No license is required.
• Private businesses that wish to ban them from their premises must post specific signs saying so.
• The open carry of handguns in non-prohibited public spaces by license holders has been legal in Texas since 2016. State law says the guns need to be secured in a hip or shoulder holster. All firearms are prohibited in bars.
It was only moments after the young man entered a Texas shopping center carrying an assault-style rifle that terrified customers began frantically contacting the police. “Mall patrons and store workers were horrified,” court documents state. “Many calls were made to 911.” Officers rushed to confront him.
It was not August 2019 in El Paso, but December 2013 in Beaumont. Derek Ty Poe was charged with disorderly conduct for walking into the mall with an AR-15 strapped to his back.
Poe faced a minor charge. Yet the question of whether he had violated the law simply by frightening shoppers with his military-style rifle went all the way to an East Texas appellate court.
“It is ludicrous to expect that any person would know (he) was exercising free speech rather than putting people’s lives in imminent danger,” Jefferson County prosecutors wrote. “Anyone, including a terrorist intent on terminating innocent persons with extreme prejudice, could, without limitation, openly carry a similar weapon into a mall, a movie theater, or anywhere else where there are likely to be large crowds and within moments open fire killing dozens of people.”
In 2015, when Texas lawmakers approved the open carry of handguns, they decided any fear or confusion residents might experience at the sight of visible weapons was outweighed by the benefits of less-restrictive gun laws.
Yet, the use of military-style rifles and magazines in high-body-count mass shootings — and the fact that Texas now has seen three such incidents over the past four years — means their presence, especially, can inspire alarm.
Police admit it can be challenging to separate the good guys with assault-style guns from the bad. In 2016, Dallas police said a group of gun-rights activists carrying the weapons complicated their response to the shooter who used one to kill five officers.

“Kill every fascist,” 2018 on twitter,
“Nazis deserve death and nothing else,” he tweeted last October.

Well, there ya go: TWITCHY, doubling down on "hate speech".
Hey TWITCHY, you're building up quite a record on advocating violent extremism, and it's looking a lot like the Dayton OH shooter's. Is that ringing any alarms for you that maybe you should change your approach? Or are you still marching towards that cliff?

Trying to compare Switzerland and the US and come up with one single reason why it's different is pretty crazy. The US and Switzerland really have nothing in common. Too many variables.
Last week, the gun-maker Remington, which had annual sales of approximately $600 million in 2017, asked the Supreme Court to overturn a Connecticut decision that gave Sandy Hook families the ability to sue the company over the way it marketed the weapon used in the 2012 school massacre.
The ability to bring suits against gun manufacturers would give American citizens a powerful tool to hold gun-makers liable for the damage their weapons cause—much as cigarette companies were vulnerable to suits for the harms of tobacco. It’s not clear whether John Roberts’ court will take the case, and if it does, whether it will side with the families or uphold protections that gun-makers have enjoyed since the Bush administration.
At issue is a 2005 law called the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" (PLCAA), which gives gun manufacturers and dealers immunity from the vast majority of lawsuits that could be brought as a result of crimes committed with their firearms. NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre called it “the most significant piece of pro-gun legislation in twenty years.”
He was right that the law would be a boon to gun manufacturers and dealers. Federal appeals courts in New York and California concluded that the law precluded lawsuits under New York and California law. Federal courts in D.C. and Colorado—along with state courts in Alaska, Illinois and Missouri—also held that the law barred suits against the gun industry.
But the Connecticut case dramatically expanded an exception to the PLCAA. Earlier this year, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision that the estates of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre could sue the manufacturer of the assault rifle used by the man who murdered them under state law because it advertised its product in a manner that could promote mass shootings, such as its slogan, “Forces of opposition, bow down. You are single-handedly outnumbered.”
Remington asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the decision.

Now that I think of it, the name "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" should be changed to "Sell More Semi-Automatic Rifles to the Crazy Act". The Swiss don't sell to the crazy, but being crazy is no obstacle to an American buying a rifle. Only being too poor to buy will stop Americans from exercising their Second Amendment right. Here is a hint: when asked by gun dealers if you are crazy, tell them no. That hint works only in America, but not in Switzerland.
Lanza used a Bushmaster XM15 rifle, a Glock 20 handgun, and a Sig Sauer P226 handgun.
Bushmaster is a child company of Freedom, which is a child company of Ceberus. Ceberus is also a parent company of Remington.

Inside America’s Ridiculously Old-Fashioned Gun-Tracing Center
The National Tracing Center in West Virginia is the only facility in the country that tracks firearms from a manufacturer to a purchaser. Go inside this small federal agency that traces nearly 400,000 guns to their owners every year to help solve violent crimes.
The technology used is designed to prevent the creation of a national gun registry. That is as the NRA intends and Congress allows. For example, it is pretty easy for police to trace a car back to its owner, but for guns it is intentional very hard, with the maximum amount of manual labor, to do the same. Somebody has to page through the documents until they find the gun they are looking for. The NRA doesn't even want that, but they compromised with the police departments of America to create this record keeping system. If it was any worse, the system would never find for the police the connection between guns and owners.

There's a reason for that, Second. It's not just something that the Big Bad Evil NRA does because you don't like it.

'Nother One
Police said the man, Jeffrey Hanson, 53, of the New Haven suburb of Orange, posted this week that the annual festival was why "we need 30 round magazines." Hanson, who is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, posted $50,000 bond on Saturday, NBC Connecticut reported.
Yanno, There are so many of these that I'm having trouble keeping up with which ones I've read. 
The only good thing to come out of these mass shootings is that they usually arrest a half dozen more loons in the weeks afterwards...

Since 6ixstringjack, Signym, and Jewelstaitefan insist on calling me names in every post, I will save time by letting any visitors know they are incompetent, fascist, and brain dead by autoposting this. Ye have been warned.
