    Thrown beer can leads to fatal shooting in Florida — ABC News

    A Florida man allegedly threw a beer can as a dune buggy passed him, then fatally shot the driver after a confrontation, according to court records.

    A Lake County Sheriff’s Office representative confirmed that Kirkland was released on bond and was still permitted to carry a firearm until he is convicted.

    Nothing quite like potentially terrorizing children to protest gun control. I'm not sure of the merits of this particular demonstration given one of the key issues with gun violence is the killing of children.

    That didn't load for me but may be on my end. For the benefit of others, I think this is the story you're referring to.

    Man wields AR-15 near school bus stop to protest gun laws

    A Maryland man has been reportedly protesting for weeks against the state's gun laws by standing near an elementary school bus stop in the town of Severn while holding an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

    A video recorded by one of the children's parents, Jamie Sparrow, shows the man standing across the street from the bus stop, holding the firearm pointed toward the ground. Sparrow said he's seen the man there for three weeks. He told WBAL-TV, which first reported the story, that the presence of the man sparked fears "lives could be lost, people could be harmed," adding that the school bus sometimes won't bring children home because the man is out there with the AR-15.

    Though parents have reportedly asked for the man to be removed, police told them the man is within his legal rights to be there with the firearm.

    The man has identified himself as J'den McAdory, saying he had no intention of scaring either the children or their parents. He said his intention was to protest against Governor Wes Moore's new control law in Maryland. "I really wasn't coming out here for the kids, I was coming out here to show people that this is legal," McAdory said.

    Some folks have asked for this type of firearm and it looks like it almost here

    The 9mm Biofire Smart Gun locks the moment it leaves your hand and cannot be fired unless an authorized user picks it back up. Your Smart Gun only fires for the people you choose, so your firearm can never cause a tragic outcome in the hands of a child, criminal, or anyone else.

    Apparently, 93% of those right wing extremists are also left wing extremists.

    Ideologically driven mass shootings vs just mass shootings is the devil in the details.

    From this weeks' New Yorker newsletter, perhaps the most effective gun control measure available - eliminate the need to compensate

    Much of the unnecessary gun violence seems to be in Texas. Why is that?
