Some thoughts from Oleg. Obviously, first thing is to get out and, also, not get trapped in. Beyond that, I think the 17 round gun and shooting the biggest/loudest/scariest antagonist right in the face for effect may deter others. Or it may not. But go down fighting.
I missed one. Apparently, someone who doesn’t know a thing about guns and their functionality thinks it would be a good idea for police to keep a blank in the chamber. Ugh.
Well, this seems like it would be quite the stretch:
Proponents of President Barack Obamas executive orders in the area of gun control point to OSHAs General Duty Clause as a possible basis for a national no guns at work policy.
The General Duty Clause requires employers to maintain a safe workplace, including the implementation of policies that may be necessary to further that goal. Proponents argue that this significant increase in workplace violence coupled with the expansion of concealed carry laws would be the basis for this regulatory change. Moreover, because a General Duty Clause already exists within the OSHA statute, there would not be a need for congressional approval.
So, more BS. And it can be done without an act of the legislature, in theory. That is exactly what is wrong with government.
So, a police officer negligently shot someone. And, of course, blames his gun and his training:
Defense attorneys have argued the gun was faulty, saying in opening statements that Liangs finger was alongside the trigger not on it following police protocol.
But Detective Marc Acevedo told jurors Liangs gun was on the high end of the NYPDs acceptable range for trigger-pull the force required to fire the weapon. The Glock needs 11/₂ pounds of pressure to fire, out of a range of 9 to 12 pounds.
Will this gun fire if someone simply places their finger alongside this weapon? prosecutor Joseph Alexis asked. No, the detective replied.
It was a Glock. His finger was on that trigger or I’ll eat my hat.
Good thing she got that magazine out of the way:
At facebook, users are not the customer. They are the product. Still, it seems like you wouldn’t want to upset your herd:
Facebook will rely on users to report content that violates the new policy, Watts told Fast Company.
Strikes me as odd to upset a decent portion of users. So, this doesn’t surprise me:
The White House on Monday refused to say whether Facebook’s recent decision to ban users from facilitating the sale of guns, parts and ammunition was the result of pressure from the Obama administration.
Need to know. And you don’t need to know:
Last year, House Speaker Paul Ryan said he wanted the Republican-led House to come up with a response to Puerto Rico’s fiscal crisis during the first quarter of 2016.
They have to pass it so you can see what’s in it.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
