NRA Bankruptcy Case Denied, Allowing New York Dissolution Case To Move Forward : NPR

A federal bankruptcy judge dismissed an effort by the National Rifle Association to declare bankruptcy on Tuesday, ruling that the gun rights group had not filed the case in good faith.

The ruling slams the door on the NRA's attempt to use bankruptcy laws to evade New York officials seeking to dissolve the organization. In his decision, the federal judge said that "using this bankruptcy case to address a regulatory enforcement problem" was not a permitted use of bankruptcy.

Honestly I think it would be good for gun rights advocates if the assets of the NRA were dissolved and given to competitors. The organization is kind of stodgy and corrupt, and while I've contributed in the past I think we'd be better off with more vigorous defenses of the second amendment, especially if they can do more to support pro second amendment democrats.

Americans Under 30 Have Rapidly Turned Against Gun Control Laws, Poll Finds

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday from among more than 1,000 U.S. adults found that Americans overall are less supportive of new gun control legislations than they were just three years ago. People between the ages of 18-29 saw the sharpest decline in backing for new weapons laws, with fewer than half now saying new legislation is needed to reduce the risk of future mass shootings or to block "red flag" buyers.

In April 2018, the last time the ABC/Washington Post survey was conducted on this issue, 65 percent of these young Americans said they support gun control laws. That percentage is now 45.

It annoys me that in the era of the internet, you can’t fill out the 4473 from home, and have your completed background check done before you get to the gun shop, and just hand them the confirmation number, no wait or delay

The system is so ass backwards, if something is in delay, I would rather know before I waste my time driving to the gun shop, looking at guns etc.

A fair weather patriot or just a Republican hack? 🦅

I have this neighbor down the way that has quite the collection of somewhat-obnoxious flags displayed in front of his condo on Delaware Avenue. Most of them are conservative leaning, and for a while he had a Molon Labe / Second Amendment flag, but I guess he’s not brave enough to hang such a flag after the latest round of mass-shootings. Talk about a fair-weather patriot. Honestly, if you really cared about your rights, and not just be some kind of a valueless Republican hack, now would be the time to be most vocally defending your right to keep and bear arms.

Ten deaths every nine minutes ☠

Ten deaths every nine minutes ☠

That’s the gory statistic that the politicians are trying to avoid when it comes to COVID-19 deaths. People are still dying – 1,500 Americans daily from the pandemic every day. While the vaccine is available it’s still being rolled out slowly and isn’t widely available at all retailers or drug stores.

But the politicians are desperately trying to avoid discussing the CONTINUING problem of COVID-19. Gun control is on their minds after two very minor incidents of gun violence which really are non remarkable when you compare to all the daily death from COVID-19. It’s easy to infringe on the rights of hard working Americans, but ignore what is killing them left and right – COVID-19.

While I fully understand that police departments want more patronage jobs so they can hire their Uncle Billy and get fun new toys, and television loves all the advertising revenue from dead children selling cars and laundry soap, the focus really needs to be on stopping COVID-19 by making vaccination convenient and widely accessible as soon as possible.
