Possibly.

In chess this is called check mate.

My uneducated guess would be opening fire on a group of people that have assault weapons pointed at another group of people with assault weapons is a no win situation. A officer feeling threatened and dispatching a single armed perpetrator is a total different scenario. I don’t say it to argue the facts of that shooting but I’m sure that how the officer felt at the moment

I'm not a Bundy fan, But it would appear the FBI MO there was to wait and gun down an old man when he was alone.
Before ICE there was HRT.

Pot is still Federally illegal. I bet a large number of HTer are right now breaking this FEDERAL law. Should they be worried?

State by state regulated. And no, I pass on grass. mtmuley

Bundy came out against ICE and it’s Minnesota actions.

Strange times.

Maybe he will chain himself to a rolling chair in the capital again. That was damned entertaining.

While various states have legalized weed, the feds still consider it a controlled substance.

The form filled out to pass a background check is a federal form. So, there are likely millions who have fudged their answer on the question of whether they use a controlled substance.

And I don't care. Much less of a threat than alcohol that has been and will continue to cause exponentially more issues. mtmuley

Ask Ali Hemani.

Speaking of Bundy:

Bundy discussed the Pretti shooting in an interview with The Atlantic, saying, "It's sickening to me, just to see the parallels of history repeating itself."

He added, "When it comes to the more humanitarian side of it, I think the left has it much more correct than the nationalist right."

Right-wing militia leader blasts DHS agents' behavior—"History repeating"

Ammon Bundy, who led a 2016 occupation of federal land in Oregon, described the shooting of Alex Pretti as "sickening."

Guns no longer allowed in DC? Has it always been this way?

Just send Pirro a case of cheap wine, she'll settle down.

The problem with barrels is that gang bangers and others can keep the gun they used in a crime or to commit murder and just swap out the barrel. Maybe still questionable but I wouldn't say there is no valid reason to regulate.

What concerns me with some red flag laws is not that you can't face the accuser but that done wrong they can discourage someone with mental health concerns from seeking help.

In my state family members. attorneys, and Law enforcement can petition to have guns removed. Two of my kids are therapistts and they all have mandatory reporting requirements but only if they deem the person an imminent threat to themselves or others--and they can't petition to have guns removed, family or LE has to do that. It's up to a judge to decide and it's not permanent--I think the max is up to one year, and the person whose guns are taken can petition to have the order rescinded--but the burden is on them.

With the barrels, they are claiming it will prevent the usage of “ghost guns” in firearm violence. Ghost guns were banned in the previous 2 dozen gun laws the Dems passed with their near supermajority. Not a real strong case for it being a necessity for public safety.

In Colorado any medical or educational facility will be able to petition for confiscation of firearms-ERPO. So any school counselor who believes you own firearms in your home and that your child could be a danger to themself or others can have every firearm removed from your home. Regardless of any safe storage precautions, which is also another CO gun law. And then the burden of proof is on the gun owner parent to prove there is no longer any danger before their rights can be restored.

Shouldn’t the burden of proof be on the petitioner? Generally the burden of proof is on the state to strip away a citizen’s rights and seize private property, especially for an extended period of time.

But hey the CO Dems gotta keep the billionaire NY oligarchs like Bloomberg happy.
