White, Legally Armed, and Primed for Political Violence Ian Rogers was convinced it was up to him to save America. The gun industry’s sales tactics may be creating a pipeline of extremists willing to open fire.

New from The Trace and Mike Spies: A deep investigation into how gun marketing strategies and NRA rhetoric intersected with the rise in white supremacist gun violence.

ICE agents are abducting people off the streetβ€”no badges, no warrants, just masks, lists and intimidation.
In Minnesota, a man dressed as a cop in tactical gear shot two Democratic lawmakers in their homes. He had a list too.
Don’t look away.
It's all political violence.

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota shot in their separate homes Governor Tim Walz was briefed on β€˜ongoing situation’ in which Minneapolis-area state senator and representative were attacked

Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and state Representative Melissa Hortman were shot at their homes in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.

This senseless act of violence not only threatens the lives of those involved but undermines the very foundation of our democracy.

New Everytown Report Names Glock as Top Manufacturer of Crime Guns Glock pistols were the most common crime guns recovered in 28 of the 34 cities surveyed, twice as many as next leading manufacturer.

We in the U.S. are unfortunately far too familiar with the violence and death brought about by Glock’s products and careless business practices. Glock is the number one producer of guns used in crimes in 34 U.S. cities. smokinggun.org/new-everytow...

Think for a second about what it means to cancel grants focused on combatting community gun violence, stopping opioid addiction, and providing support to crime victims and saying that they don’t align with your priorities.

Trump’s Least Favorite Judge Has Friends in High Places To President Trump, Judge James E. Boasberg is β€œa troublemaker” and a β€œRadical Left Lunatic.” But his record and biography, including a friendship with Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, say otherwise.

I briefly worked for Judge Boasberg over 20 years ago as a law student. In addition to being whip smart, serious, and fair, he also took me to the original Five Guys in VA, with peanut shells on the floor. His character and his position are, well, unimpeachable.

In banning β€˜Glock switches,’ red and blue states find common ground on gun law Republicans and Democrats agree that outlawing the small, cheap and easy-to-install modifications, also called auto-sears, is a wise move.

β€œThe fact that states like Alabama and Illinois can both pass [auto-sear] bans clearly demonstrates there’s such a thing as a weapon that’s too dangerous to have on the streets,” - Nick Suplina, vice president of law and policy, @everytown.bsky.social

This is dangerous nonsense.
DOJ is repealing a rule that held accountable gun dealers who literally broke the law, yet the Attorney General of the United States says it targeted β€œlaw abiding gun owners.” What it did was shut down some of the most notorious dealers.

Right now, across the country, your Department of Justice is seeking to dismiss charges brought against Jan 6 rioters who were found to be in illegal possession of guns, sawed-off shotguns, grenades and even including, below, violent domestic abusers prohibited from having firerams.

TBH that wasn’t an easy listen, but I think @jonlovett.bsky.social and his worldview are sharper for the combat, Maher’s contrived centrism and smug ignorance was politely and surgically exposed, and this is a great blueprint for how we do media going forward.
