Gun Laws

Recently there has been a tragedy involving the death of a 8 year old boy and a accident with a Uzi sub machine gun. The even occurred earlier in the week at a gun show in Connecticut when a young child was given a Uzi for practice. The father and the professional gun instructor where both present at them time and in the area watching the boy. What occurred was as the kid fired it the recoil from the weapon caused the gun to accidentally get fired into the boys head killing him.

Now it has gotten international attention law makers are trying create a law that will make it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to fire a automatic weapon. I dont think this ia valid solution for this and to prevent it from occuring again. This is just a tragic accident which could have easily been avoided and a law does not need to be created for this.

With this people are trying to figure out who the blame for this belongs to. I do not know all the details from it and more likly then not neither do they. Some are saying the father needs to be charged in some form or another for this but i disagree on that. The blame should fall on to the gun instructure for not following proper safty procedures. He should have had his hands on the gun while the kid was fireing to stabilze the gun and prevent this and for his negligence the child died from it.

Really I don't see any reason for an 8 year old boy to fire an automatic weapon. But hey I'm from Britain I don't even understand the american obsession with firearms...

Actually i was considering a follow up on this as they just recently ended the court case. They tried charging the promoter of the gun show with the child's death but he was acquitted. But i agree no need for the child to fire it, but more along its not the promoters fault but the parent of the child but not to the extent he needs to be charged with the accidental death of his own son.

Time for a peaceable revolution?

“If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.”  The above quote is from 1849 Henry David Th oreau within his book Civil Disobedience.  He grappled with the governments support of the Mexican American war and the governments support of slavery.  His aunt even offered to pay the tax so he could avoid jail time.  He still refused out of principle as it being paid by another would still defeat the purpose of the protest. As of this morning the President Trump has threatened all citizens rights to peacefully protest by attempting to punish funding to colleges and students at those colleges.  The threat from the president was sent early morning via his Truth Social platform.  This is a direct attack on 1st amendment rights on...

El Salvadors offers to imprison US citizens

On February 5th the President of El Salvador Bukele has offered to house US Citizens within the prison system for a fee.  The Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been noncommittal in going along with this scheme.  Feigning checks about the legality of doing such a thing. This would be a pretty cut and dry 8th Amendment violation against cruel and unusual punishment by the Trump administration.  So yeah pretty fucking unconstitutional

8 Year Old Girl's Father Kidnapped by ICE

On Friday 3/7/2025 a father was abducted when his family arrived to pick him up at Logan Airport.  Fabian Schimdt had been visiting Luxemberg, the family could not reach them for 4 hours waiting for him.  But he had been Kidnapped by Trump's ICE agents and interrogated and tortured for 4 days before his family had word from him. ICE inexplicitly took him out of state to Rhode Island.  when there are closer ICE buildings to Logan?  such as in Burlington Ma.  which happens to be 1/3rd the distance then where they held him.  In Rhode Island he was deprived of water while coming down with the flu due to traveling.  They also denied him medication for anxiety and depression during the interrogations.   This was done to have the father voluntarily give up his green card and self deport.  Through these tactics ICE is attempting to reproduce the 1930's Germany.  ICE appears to the enforcement arm of the administration in their attempt to ru...
