Why would I do anything to spin this incident?

If only there was something we could do...
Malcom Gladwell Revisionist History podcast has a 4 part series out about the gun debate. Good listen. Great critiques of both sides of the discussion.
The criticism of assault weapons bans (EP.3) and the discussion on the effect of improved trauma care on gun homicide rates (EP.4) were particular interesting…

More well-regulated militia action in New Mexico.
Man shot at protest over Juan de Oñate statue in Española
I for one am grateful people like this are out there packing to keep me protected from protestors.

Reading your link, and clicking on the Twitter links made my head spin. Originally Posted by Meadow Skipper

County Sheriff seemed none too pleased. He warned the Council this was likely and guess what…
The posts on the Twitter links in that article were stupidity-inducing.
Wonder if your governor would ask the feds for hate crime charges?

Speaking of that punk, this is my View Right Now. Needed a drill bit so I stopped at the famous Ace Hardware down the road. Why is it famous? This is where Rittenhouse bought his gun. Originally Posted by MagnificentUnicorn

It’s still where Rittenhouse got his gun. Your pedantic post makes his actions ever more heinous.

I can't find the link now, but I had seen one in an insta story that discussed how crappy treatment of indigenous and mixed-ancestry folks had led to a lot of those mixed-ancestry ignoring the indigenous part of their ancestry and identifying with the colonizing side. This, of course, makes them identify with said statue. Originally Posted by TBS

IME this is pretty true of northern New Mexico Hispanics. A lot of social value is given to the level of pure Spanish heritage of a given family, though not many have no Pueblo ancestry. The more Pueblo ancestry, the less regard. There are exceptions of course. Originally Posted by anotherVTskibum

NYTimes looking at kids dying from guns; tl;dr is that the only two significant sources of increased childhood deaths recently in the US are drug exposure and guns, while most other causes (eg cars) have seen decreasing numbers:

You can buy guns at the hardware store? Here all they have are various expensive hose reels, a rack of plumbing fittings which magically never has the one you need, and a counter to get keys cut that requires a 15-minute waiting buy-in before someone will come and help you. No guns though, that just seems weird man. Originally Posted by Harry

I don't recall any of the chain hardware stores selling guns in VT, but there were plenty of independents that did. Not sure if any still do. There's still a gas station in South Burlington that sells guns. There were plenty of mom and pop convenience stores that used to. Gas, guns, a gallon of milk, and a loaf of bread.
