But it was in there. in addition to the sanctuary city hypocrisy, they actually used “enforce the laws” as a tag line at one point the rot of the gop goes beyond the state level at this point. Old arguments suggesting local stuff was different no longer apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctuary cities, they were dealing with federal law vs. local enforcement and they don't legally have to hand over illegal immigrants to immigration officers while policing, or detaining them until ICE gets there. Two completely different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, it does appear that delegates have written bills to prohibit the ownership of assault rifles and large capacity magazines in addition to universal background checks. Not sure how likely they are to pass. It would be ironic if a mass murder occurred in one of these 2A sanctuary cities (whatever the **** that means). Sounds like they are looking to grandfather in those that already own assault rifles prior to the new ban and make them register it, which I think is a good thing. https://www.virginiamercury.com/2019/12/09/northam-backed-assault-weapon-bill-will-include-grandfather-clause-for-existing-guns/ Guess the 2A sanctuary cities political statement made some sort of impact on getting grandfathering in for assault rifles.

Right, but they cannot force the local authorities to detain and handover illegal immigrants to ICE during local policing, in regards to the sanctuary cities refusing to work with ICE. Just pointing out one bunch (federal gov.) can't force cooperation on their illegal immigration issue and the other group (state) absolutely has power over local law enforcement in the case of gun safety laws (local law enforcement cannot turn a blind eye to state gun laws).

China Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Florida dad with accidental shooting conviction is charged in accidental shooting of daughter, 9: police A Florida dad who was convicted of accidentally firing a gun that killed a teenage girl is now charged in a second accidental shooting that critically wounded his 9-year-old daughter, police said. Dustin Adkins, 34, is a convicted felon who is currently on probation for accidentally discharging a gun that went through a wall and killed a 13-year-old girl in December 2011, according to police. Adkins was arrested Saturday and held without bail at the Brevard County Jail Complex, Florida Today reported. He is facing child neglect and felony weapons charges in connection with a shooting over the weekend that left his daughter in critical but stable condition, police said. Click on the link for the full article So he's already been convicted of an accidental death stemming from mishandling a firearm. So he still has guns and has apparently not been required to undergo any special training or subject to any restrictions and he ends up shooting his own daughter? Yes, our gun control laws are working marvelously, we should make sure more people have unfettered access to firearms. Thanks NRA!

China Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Can we at least mandate some training so these morons don't kill us accidentally? Man fired fatal shot while putting trigger lock on gun MOLINE ACRES, Mo (AP).– A man has been charged with shooting another man in suburban St. Louis while putting a trigger lock on a gun. Police in Moline Acres said 33-year-old Hutson Grace Jr. was charged Sunday with first-degree involuntary manslaughter in the death of 36-year-old Michael Dillingham.

Officials with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded around 6:30 a.m. to several calls during which drivers reported that their vehicles were struck by gunfire on westbound I-4 near the Osceola-Orange county line. Investigators said two of the shootings happened at 4:45 a.m. on Monday. One of the victims is a Disney employee, according to investigators. Deputies said they spoke with four victims --each whose vehicle was shot within close proximity to the other victims. Two vehicles were hit in Osceola County and two were hit in Orange County, according to the Sheriff’s Office. One woman told investigators her car was hit by in the area of Osceola Parkway and Victory Way. Another victim told deputies his car was hit in the area of Exit 65 on the westbound side of Interstate 4. A Disney employee told investigators the car was hit in the area of Exit 68 on Interstate 4. No one was injured. Osceola County deputies said the suspect vehicle is a dark-colored sedan and they are “pouring all available resources” into finding the suspect and increasing patrols. Osceola deputies said the incident Monday is not connected to the string of highway shootings on New Year’s Day. During that incident, a total of 19 vehicles were damaged by gunfire the evening of Jan. 1 while traveling on I-4 and I-95 from Seminole County to St. Augustine, according to officials from several law enforcement agencies.

China Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Stray bullet narrowly misses Garvin County couple`s bed after neighbor shoots AR-15 rounds due to ‘meth-induced paranoia’ A man is accused of shooting up his RV in a fit of delusion, with some of the bullets going through neighboring RVs as the victims slept inside. "It’s very concerning to us that somebody could have been hurt," said Sheriff Jim Mullett. Thankful that no one was injured after he said Steven Ray White allegedly shot nearly 20 rounds through the walls of his RV last week. Authorities were called to reports of shots fired at an RV park outside of Maysville. A Maysville police officer was the first to arrive, and according to court documents, he "observed what appeared to be a bullet hit the ground" near his vehicle, so he backed out and waited for backup. When deputies got there, they could hear Steven White screaming inside his RV, "threatening to kill someone and 'fill them full of lead' if they moved." Documents sate White hurried the deputies inside and "stated that he had a male in his bedroom right at that moment and was holding the other male at gunpoint." But when they got inside, they discovered he was alone. "Even when we went into the house, he stated that there was other people there," Sheriff Mullett said. "He was actually pointing at other people, and there was nobody in the house." "Meth and firearms," Sheriff Mullett said, "they just don’t mix."
