gunlaws

Firearm #deaths of #children & #teenagers rose significantly in states that enacted more permissive #GunLaws after #SCOTUS in 2010 limited local govts ability to restrict gun ownership, a new study has found.

In states that maintained stricter laws, gun deaths were stable after the ruling, researchers reported, & in some, even declined.

#Guns are the leading cause of death in the #US for people ages 1–17, acc/to the #CDC.

Hey, #Utahns #utpol #utleg #SaltLake #SaltLakeCity read this article with a lot of quotes by Clark Aposhian about how our #OpenCarry #ConstitutionalCarry #Unlicened #GunLaws mean you can walk around with guns in public, in crowds, at protests and not be consideted to be breaking any laws, maybe even after you shoot someone.

Then, consider, who is Clark Aposhian? How many guns does he own? Has he ever done anything that could be charged as #DomesticViolence that could result in his losing his ability to own guns? Did prosecutors chicken out and plead him down because they were afraid of a massive shootout when they tried to seize those guns? Should we maybe not give guys that behave like him so much say in who gets to behave how with what deadly weapons?
