7-year-old fatally shoots 5-year-old child in eastern Kentucky

Bad 7-year-old. If only there had been a good 7-year-old with a gun there.

... There have been more than 150 unintentional shootings by children in the U.S. so far this year, including three others in Kentucky, resulting in at least 58 deaths and 101 injuries, according to the Everytown for Gun Safety advocacy group.

Kentucky does not have any laws that impose a penalty on those that fail to secure an unattended firearm, according to Giffords Law Center....

Federal judge rules Oregon’s tough new gun law is constitutional

A federal judge has ruled Oregon’s voter-approved gun control measure – one of the toughest in the nation – is constitutional.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled that banning large capacity magazines and requiring a permit to purchase a gun falls in line with “the nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety," Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.

The decision comes after a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Second Amendment that has upended gun laws across the country, dividing judges and sowing confusion over what firearm restrictions can remain on the books. It changed the test that lower courts had long used for evaluating challenges to firearm restrictions, telling judges that gun laws must be consistent with the “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

Oregon voters in November narrowly passed Measure 114, which requires residents to undergo safety training and a background check to obtain a permit to buy a gun.

The legislation also bans the sale, transfer or import of gun magazines with more than 10 rounds unless they are owned by law enforcement or a military member or were owned before the measure’s passage. Those who already own high-capacity magazines can only possess them at home or use them at a firing range, in shooting competitions or for hunting as allowed by state law after the measure takes effect.

Large capacity magazines “are not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment,” Immergut wrote. “The Second Amendment also allows governments to ensure that only law-abiding, responsible citizens keep and bear arms.”

The latest ruling in U.S. District Court is likely to be appealed, potentially moving all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Oregon measure’s fate has been carefully watched as one of the first new gun restrictions passed since the Supreme Court ruling last June.

1-year-old girl accidentally shot and killed by 3-year-old sibling, authorities say

A 1-year-old girl was accidentally shot and killed Monday by her 3-year-old sibling, who had gained access to an unsecured handgun, authorities said.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said deputies responded to the shooting at a home in Fallbrook, California, on Monday morning.

The 1-year-old suffered a head injury in the shooting and was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead at about 8:30 a.m. Monday, the department said. The child’s name has not been released at this time “out of respect for the family and the fact she is a juvenile,” the department said.

A 3-year-old doesn't care about her reputation and the ammosexual family deserves no respect.

... As of July 15, so far this year there have been at least 221 unintentional shootings by children in the U.S., resulting in 78 deaths and 151 injuries, according to gun violence prevention organization Everytown for Gun Safety.

Biden Administration Proposes Major Expansion Of Gun Sale Background Checks
More gun sellers would have to put their buyers through background checks as a result of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

A proposed regulation announced Thursday by the Biden administration would require thousands of gun sellers to register with the federal government and conduct background checks of their customers.

A small part of the bipartisan gun law Congress passed last year broadened the definition of a “gun dealer” as a way of reducing the number of sales that don’t go through the background check system.

President Joe Biden ordered the Justice Department earlier this year to write the regulation so the government could get “as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation.”

... Under the new definition, a person would be said to be “engaged in the business” of firearms if their principal aim is to profit, “as opposed to other intents, such as improving or liquidating a personal firearms collection,” the law says. At the time it was drafted, it wasn’t clear how many people would be affected, since it would be up to the ATF to put it through regulation.

According to the text of the ATF’s proposed rulemaking, the broader definition of a gun seller would affect between 24,540 and 328,296 unlicensed dealers. There were 136,563 active federal firearms licensees in 2022, so the ATF is estimating that the regulation could greatly increase their ranks.

... Experts have said the change would not encompass all private gun sales, and Democrats have said they still want to change the law to require universal checks.

Mark Collins, director of federal policy for Brady, a gun control group, said the new regulation would not be tantamount to universal background checks.

“In terms of whether or not it gets us to universal, I think it’s a big step closer to it,” Collins said. “But I would be hesitant to say that it gets us to complete universal without Congress acting.”

I'm sure that loopholes will be exploited and avoidance will be practiced, but it's a step in the right direction. Enforcement will be key.

... The public has 90 days to comment on the regulation before the government can begin to finalize it.

A bipartisan group of senators wrote the 2022 law in response to multiple mass shootings. Its main provisions enhanced background checks for gun buyers under 21, created grants for states to enact “red flag” laws, and provided funds for school safety and mental health services.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), one of the law’s main Democratic authors, praised the proposed regulation on Thursday.

“For too long, the ambiguous definition of what it means to be ‘engaged in the business’ allowed thousands of unlicensed dealers to sell guns without background checks,” Murphy said in a statement, adding that the change will “significantly increase the number of background checks performed and ensure more guns stay out of dangerous hands.”

Go Joltin' Joe Go!

Update: Shooting death reported at McDonald's in Hendersonville owned by Chuck Edwards

The Hendersonville Police Department is investigating a reported homicide that occurred on the morning of Oct. 9 at the McDonald's on Four Seasons Boulevard, according to a news release.

Detectives are investigating a shooting that happened at the restaurant at approximately 10:54 a.m. The McDonald's is owned by Congressman Chuck Edwards.

"Chainsaw" Charlie Taylor > Failed DC QB and DINO Heath Shuler > Traitor Mark Meadows > MadCaw > Chuck Edwards - NC11 represent!

... The follow-up news release said a McDonald’s manager separated the women, and Reed left the restaurant, returning shortly after, when she was met by the manager and a male employee, identified as Sam Antwan Ivey, 35. During the disturbance, Reed reached out and touched Ivey, who shot the victim with a concealed handgun.

Do you want fries with that, sucka?

Ivey fled the scene in his vehicle, police said.

... Ivey was charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. He is being held without bond at the Henderson County Detention Facility.

... Edwards, a Republican representing the 11th District, which covers 15 counties including Henderson, owns multiple McDonald's franchises and confirmed the restaurant was one of them.

... A licensed firearm dealer, Edwards has said there should be no new firearms restrictions and that the root of the stunningly high number of shootings in the United States was a mental health crisis.

Why does he hire armed crazy people then?

Could Edwards possibly be more of a stereotypical villain? RepuQ coronary and mass shooting mogul.

911 calls reveal tragic tale of Jacklyn Reed's final days before she was shot to death at McDonald's

More charges have been brought against a fast-food employee facing second-degree murder for a deadly shooting inside a Hendersonville McDonald’s.

On Monday, Oct. 9, Sam Ivey, 35, was charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon in the shooting death of 30-year-old Jacklyn Reed, who was shot and killed at the McDonald's fast-food restaurant on Four Seasons Boulevard on Monday just before 11 a.m.

... The victim, Jacklyn Reed, is from Johnson City, Tennessee, and detectives continue to investigate the circumstances of how she landed in Hendersonville, possibly as early as Sept. 28, 2023.

“I ask the public to understand that Ms. Reed is a victim," said Hendersonville Police Chief Blair Myhand. "She died because she was shot by a convicted felon illegally carrying a firearm, not because she was homeless or because she may have needed medical intervention.”

You don't know her, do you?

I remember when the first McDonalds came to my town. It was probably the early sixties. The burgers and the fries were really good; sort of a novelty at the time. I've not been to a McDonalds in over a decade. Their food is nothing like I first remembered it.

The only other fast food places I've everr eaten from are Hardee's, Arby's, KFC, and Burger King. Never ate at Sonic, Zaxby's, Bojangles, or any others.
