The ATF's bullet analysis report has been kept private, but attorneys have cited snippets in other public filings that say the results were inconclusive.

Hegseth stated that current policies have essentially turned US military installations into gun-free zones, leaving those who live and work on the installations vulnerable. He emphasized that the war department's uniformed service members are trained at the highest standards and are entitled to exercise their God-given right to keep and bear arms.

The Georgia jury was not so forgiving of a parent who gave an AR-15 to a 14-year-old child. They are only the second jury in American history to find a parent guilty after their child went on a shooting spree at a school. It is an important step forward in what CNN calls a growing nationwide effort 'to hold more people accountable for a school shooting, including the shooter's parents and responding law enforcement officers.'

The scene was chaotic and joyful, with several young kids running around and scattering croissant crumbs on our sofa while their parents attempted adult conversation over mimosas. Inevitably, the moment arrived when a child knocked over a drink on our coffee table. It was an old West Elm design with a panel on top and a storage area underneath. The spilled beverage was dripping into the seams, so a crowd of parents rushed to open the table and mop up the liquid pooling within.

If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don't do it! Video showed Pretti approach ICE with his phone in hand not a gun so he could record their actions. Pretti's family said he had a lawful permit to carry a concealed handgun in Minnesota, which ICE agents were seen on video removing from his person when tackling Pretti to the ground.

In the United States, the right to bear arms is an important aspect of law and culture, yet many people are surprised by just how powerful certain legal-to-own weapons can be. Beyond standard guns, a range of weapons often associated with military or high-risk use are lawful under federal or state regulations, provided specific conditions are met. The legality of these highly dangerous weapons is due to a mix of constitutional rights, public safety concerns, and decades of changing legislation.

If you are someone that just wants to identify as another sex, but you know deep down that you're not, but you just want to be called he' or she' that's one thing, said Jones. He continued: But if you, from a psychological standpoint, think that you are another sex, you should not have a gun. Something that has been diagnosed as gender dysphoria is a problem. And all of us know it. We all have to fill out the federal gun form that talks about mental you should have to check that box.

In the United States, we haven't yet seen rifles aimed at large crowds, but we do observe masked federal agents detaining protesters in unmarked vehicles, flashy ICE raids staged like military operations and pardons for political violence all clear warning signs. Ignoring this is the first step toward complacency, which can kill liberty. Fascism is often misunderstood. It is not just political oppression; it is a set of traits, as scholars and observers point out,

If the second Trump administration has been a metaphorical firefight over whether the U.S. is a democracy or a theocracy run by Christian nationalists, Democrats didn't bring a hose-they brought a couple of water balloons to fuck around with. They've caved, insulted voters and each other, and given everyone brain-splitting migraines. And when Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent on January 7, they still didn't say anything about blocking the budget bill that would give ICE another few billion.

In the moments after federal officers shot Minneapolis ICU nurse Alex Pretti dead, Trump administration figures almost immediately made public statements in press conferences, televised interviews and social media posts that were at best indifferent to the evidence available at the time and at worst completely fabricated. A pattern is emerging, in which the Trump administration prioritizes the vilification of the dead victim as to blame for the incident over preserving the neutrality of any investigative process.

The factual bullshit from Trump-administration officials about Minnesota is, at least, easily detected: Hear claim, watch video, reject claim. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem declares that Alex Pretti "brandished" a firearm. ( He did not.) White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller tells us Pretti was "an assassin" who "tried to murder federal agents." (Pretti never drew his weapon, got pepper-sprayed, and wound up at the bottom of an ICE dogpile.)
