De nada Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 California From BBC news... At least four people, including a child, have been killed in a shooting at an office building in southern California, US media report. Police said they were called to the two-storey building on Lincoln Avenue in Orange, south of Los Angeles, at about 17:30 local time (00:30 GMT). Officers shot and wounded the suspect who was taken to hospital, police said. The situation has been "stabilised" and there is no threat to the public, the statement adds. Few other details of the shooting were made available although local reports said two people were wounded by gunfire. "Horrifying and heartbreaking," said California governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter. "Our hearts are with the families impacted by this terrible tragedy tonight." The US was rocked by two mass shootings in March. Eight people - many of them Asian Americans - were killed inside spas in Atlanta, Georgia, on 16 March, while 10 people were shot dead in a Colorado grocery store on 22 March. President Joe Biden vowed to take "common-sense steps" to crackdown on firearms, renewing his call to ban assault weapons and urging Congress to pass bills that would end loopholes in background checks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 On 3/23/2021 at 4:30 PM, Mr. Sausages said: Open carry state. Anybody can walk into a supermarket carrying an AR15 and there is nothing anybody else can do about it until after they start shooting. 100 armed policemen standing at the checkout buying donuts couldn't do anything until after the shooting begins. I don't think this is right. A shop can say No Guns and that is the private right of the shop. If someone refuses to follow that the shop owner can get help from the police to remove them - especially if there is a threat of violence. I think Walmart for example have banned people from carrying on their premises and have called the police on Yahoo's who can't distinguish between public and private property.

Chinahand Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Christ 'Merica is going to hell in a hand cart. Wanted black guy tragically shot while attempting to evade arrest, not something which justifies deadly force. And now the copper who accidentally shot him is up for 2nd degree manslaughter and is being denied bail. Bet she feels safe. What a mess.

De nada Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 New gun laws for Texas... it can only end in disaster. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57239610 Texas legislators have passed a bill which would allow most people to carry concealed handguns without a permit. Current state rules require those carrying handguns to have a licence, training and background checks. But Texas's Republican-run senate has voted to drop the restrictions. The bill has been sent to Governor Greg Abbott, who has said he will sign it into law - despite warnings from gun control groups that it could endanger the public. Texas has some of the loosest gun laws in the US and already allows rifles to be carried in public without a licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
