☆ US must stem 'iron river' of guns flowing to Latin America, activists say
  + stars: | 2023-04-18 | by ( Sarah Morland | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
April 18 (Reuters) - U.S. guns, many of them exported legally, are flowing into Latin America in an "iron river" ending in the hands of drug cartels and abusive security forces, activists said Monday, calling for greater oversight from U.S. law and federal agencies. More than half of "crime guns" recovered and traced in Central America are sourced from the United States, according to U.S. gun control agency ATF. Burke called for rules preventing manufacturers from selling to dealers with lax distribution practices. Manufacturers should also stop selling armor-piercing weapons and guns that can easily be modified to shoot hundreds of bullets at a time, she said. U.S government figures show last year that income from legal firearm shipments to Latin America increased 8%, with most sales going to Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia.

From small towns in Iowa and New Hampshire to the grand stages of interest groups’ conventions, the 2024 presidential campaign is underway, whether or not Americans are ready. The past week has brought at least four declared or likely candidates to New Hampshire, three to Iowa and one to South Carolina. Nine addressed the National Rifle Association’s annual forum in Indianapolis, and three attended a Republican donor retreat in Nashville. On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee, in a surprise to no one, chose Fox News to host the party’s first debate this August. The declared candidates filed their quarterly fund-raising reports late this week, revealing the first big campaign finance error of the season.

In the US, there have been over 160 mass shootings in 2023 so far, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

☆ Opinion: A rookie officer ran toward semi-automatic gunfire. It was his job
  + stars: | 2023-04-16 | by ( Michael Fanone | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
The job carries unavoidable risks, but to the extent that we can keep them safe we owe them that much. Too many times toward the end of my career I heard politicians, media pundits and even executives in my own department prioritize optics over officer safety. In fact, every single firearms transfer in this country should begin with a background check. As I thought about Officer Wilt, I recalled my own experiences as a rookie cop working in the inner city. This is the job, and this is what is asked of these officers.

☆ Mike Pence was booed at an NRA event, while Trump was greeted with a 2-minute standing ovation

The crowd booed Mike Pence at an NRA event, despite positioning himself as a defender of gun rights. After referencing polls that put him ahead of other Republican contenders, including Pence, Trump appeared to acknowledge the crowd's frosty response to the former vice president. "I hope you gave Pence a good, warm approval," he said as the crowd booed some more. The NRA event comes days after a mass shooting at a school in Nashville and a bank in Louisville. Along with Trump and Pence, several Republican hopefuls spoke virtually or in person at the event, including Florida Gov.

A number of hopefuls, including Trump's closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, are deliberating if and when to jump into the 2024 race to challenge the former president for the nomination. Trump, whom the NRA enthusiastically backed in 2016 before he was even officially declared the Republican presidential candidate, will address gun aficionados in person on Friday. DeSantis, and other White House hopefuls, Nikki Haley and Senator Tim Scott, will do so by video message. Trump's campaign website says he will "always defend your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms," but does not provide detailed policy proposals. For some fervent NRA members, however, neither Trump nor DeSantis are committed enough to the cause.

Current and likely 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls reiterated support for gun rights and looser restrictions at the annual National Rifle Association convention in Indianapolis, rejecting Democratic calls to ban assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines in the wake of mass shootings in Nashville and Louisville. “This is not a gun problem, this is a mental-health problem, this is a social problem, this is a cultural problem, this a spiritual problem,” said former President Donald Trump, the current GOP front-runner for 2024.
☆ Opinion: Gun control after Louisville shooting has a chance

Meanwhile, Democrats — once wary of mentioning gun control at all — have finally rediscovered their voice. See heated gun control discussion between lawmakers in the halls of Congress 01:19 - Source: CNNDemocrats’ rising confidence in fighting for gun reform comes against a backdrop of tireless coalition-building from gun safety activists and community organizers across the country. Everytown credits at least 51 pieces of state-level gun safety legislation passed in 2022 to their state-by-state strategy. Over the summer, an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found that 59% of American adults think it’s more important to control gun violence than to protect gun rights (35%) — “its highest point in nearly a decade.” These figures have surely factored into Democrats new assertiveness on gun control. “Republicans look completely unreasonable when they won’t even discuss background checks, gun safety measures like storage or red flag laws,” Del Percio warned.

Ted Cruz said stationing armed police in schools, as they do in banks, would help stop school shootings. "You know, when you go to the bank, and you deposit money in the bank, there are armed police officers at the bank. —Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) March 31, 2023Cruz's proposed bill on school safety, which he has been pushing for months, was blocked in the Senate on March 30. After the Uvalde school shooting, where a shooter killed 21 people, Cruz floated a bizarre idea for preventing school shootings: Having a "single point of entry" in schools. Justifying his decision, he told CBS News that the NRA "stands up for your rights, stands up for my rights, and stands up for the rights of every American."

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, March 27 (Reuters) - A heavily armed 28-year-old fatally shot three children and three adult staffers on Monday at a private Christian school the suspect once attended in Tennessee's capital city before police killed the assailant, authorities said.

☆ Biden to reinforce background checks for gun buyers

REUTERS/Bing GuanMarch 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will announce an executive order on Tuesday that reinforces background checks for gun buyers in what the White House is promoting as the most comprehensive policy the president can enact without Congress. In a country with more than 40,000 gun deaths per year, Biden is betting that voters will embrace more proactive gun control. The Biden administration is pointing to public opinion polls that show a majority of Americans support background checks. A Reuters/Ipsos poll last year found 84% of respondents supported background checks for all firearms sales and 70% backed red flag laws. Some gun rights advocates oppose background checks, saying they infringe on constitutional rights to possess arms while failing to stop criminals from getting them.
