Is there any state dumb enough to ban birth control?

[CNS]

LA has basically already done that. 

[Dugout DickStone]

I know for a fact condoms are readily available in New Orleans

I think they're doing a disturbingly good job of getting away with minority rule so far.

[CNS]

They made bc pills a controlled substance with penalty of time in jail. Left undisturbed it could be here soon.

what do the pro-gun people here think about SCOTUS invalidating the bump stock ban

[star seed 7]

I don't think we have any shall not be infringed'rs left here

what do the pro-gun people here think about SCOTUS invalidating the bump stock ban

Yet another loss in court for Donald "law and order" Trump.

Lolwut, no they haven't. They added abortion pills to the list of controlled substances, but not run of the mill BC.

Why are you following me around everywhere, #StalkerDax?

The most interesting thing is that according to former military personnel and other high level gun users. There’s no way that the Vegas shooter could have done what he did with bump stocks and the weapons he allegedly had.

Former military people claim that the sound of the weapons used sound like US Army issue M240 machine guns.

They claim that no one but FBI has been allowed to examine those weapons.

Keeping in mind that the final FBI report on said shooting can be read in about one minute twenty seven seconds. 

Some claim that people were hit with as many as 6 or 7 rounds and that the weapons reportedly used and bump stocks couldn’t achieve such a density of shots.

Don Trump engaged in a conspiracy?  That’s worth multiple #blueanon hog floggings.

I've just seen a lot of banter on social media since the SCOTUS ruling on bump stocks. It could all be BS 

The 30 second read FBI final report has been discussed on this blog.

I own some shotguns for bird hunting, but all this tactical stuff is nuts and scary and I want no part of it. So I don't even know what a bump stock does exactly and I've never seen one.

The 30 second read FBI final report has been discussed on this blog.

Lol, I remember that discussion.

Here's what dax is calling the 3-page FBI final report: https://vpc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Las-Vegas-FBI-final-behavioral-unit-report-2019.pdf

Here is some context, including that the "report" is a 3-page summary of key findings including that the gunman acted alone and without a clear motivating factor, mirroring what Metro PD had found: https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/fbi-analysis-offers-no-clear-cut-motive-behind-the-las-vegas-strip-mass-shooting
 
The article and the document itself spell out that this sub-unit of FBI's vegas division was tasked to try to supplement or confirm the police's findings particularly as to any motive.  The police report, 187 pages, is here: https://www.lvmpd.com/en-us/Documents/1-October-FIT-Criminal-Investigative-Report-FINAL_080318.pdf

That sub-unit convened a panel of various behavior/psych experts, which came back with 10 key findings outlined in the summary at issue. 

While disappointing to not land on a clear-cut motive, that's not unusual.

While some may be dismayed by the FBI's inability to answer why Paddock targeted those people on that particular day, Mynda Smith, whose sister was fatally shot, told NPR that she would rather he take his reasons to the grave than to have Paddock alive.

"I truly believe if he had lived, he would have made my parents' life miserable. We would've been caught up in trials and having to listen to things that he would say," Smith said.

The absence of a single motivating factor is not unusual, according to the FBI. And it places Paddock within the typical profile of other mass murder shooters who are prompted to violence by a "complex merging" of various stressors.

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/29/689821599/fbi-finds-no-motive-in-las-vegas-shooting-closes-investigation

Unlike the victim's sister quoted above, then-president trump criticized "the fbi" in an interview with the daily caller, as we were reminded in this story from saturday: https://www.newsweek.com/las-vegas-shooting-three-unanswered-questions-5-years-tragedy-1748137

Sounds like after the police-led initial investigation concluded there was no motive, the local FBI branch's sub-unit on behavior put in additional work to confirm that or to find the motive and brought in a panel of non-FBI eggheads to dig in.  That panel found there indeed was no single clear motive, which is common, but identified the factors that combined in some way to lead the guy to doing this.

But there's good reason lately for maga to talk bad about the fbi, and maybe some knew back then that some preemptive bad talk would help down the road.  Pointing to the original point break movie and claiming it was a documentary would've been a stronger campaign.

I am once again reminded that prior iterations of #blueanon absolutely hate hate hated the FBI.

Now nothing sends a blood rush to the #blueanon hog like an early morning FBI raid of somebody would have turned themselves in if asked.

Biggest mass shooting in modern American history . . . no motive #shrug #blueanon/#bluenongE   

Police Chief Joe Lombardo - Vegas Mass Shooting - Maui Fire. Bad things just follow that guy around I suppose.
