There is at least one child in that picture.

Who takes a semi-automatic weapon to a block party?

I’ve known since the 70’s to stay away from the Orange Mound. Still, it’s very close to where Mia and I go every Sunday for rehearsal.

Memphis used to be such a cool city with a rich culture. Such a shame what has happened to it.

another question is why are semi-automatic weapons so readily and easily available

Low IQ morons.

Yeah, the UM campus isn't in the best part of town. Just the other side of Southern is essentially gangland.

Memphis shows how the (lack of) competant leadership can quickly torpedo an otherwise thriving city.
Murders in Memphis in 2010: 93
Murders in Memphis in 2023: 298

another question is why are semi-automatic weapons so readily and easily available

The sad part Is I could safely bet my house that not a single one of them was obtained legally.

All, or almost all, handguns are semiautomatic. There are a few single-action revolvers sold for nostalgia or target-shooting, but that would be less than 1%...

i was referring more to the assault rifles as shown in the picture above. but overall, there are entirely too many firearms on the streets

I actually made that suggestion quite a while ago - outlaw all semiauto long guns. I know of no way to convert a bolt or pump gun to a full auto with something like a bump stock or trigger mod...

Guns have more protection than women.

The dissent is damning of the majority's opinion, if you ask me.

Reasonable people everywhere are.

The NRA needs to keep that bump stock banner from the White House before he takes everyone’s guns away.

 

[Maudiemae]

So this finally began the same day SCOTUS pulled their big bump stock move.https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/14/us/parkland-demolish-stoneman-douglas-high-school-shooting/index.html

we just need to enforce the gun laws we have on the books.

wait, let me come in again ....

 

[JDCrimson]

We are in a messed up world. We are trying to prevent, with no success, people bringing a gun to school. Whereas, at the same time, we are encouraging people to bring guns to church to protect themselves.

Its beyond time for the Silent Middle of America to step forward and demand better..

I don’t think that’s anything you could imagine happening even 10 years ago.

Sad, its become so commonplace that a 'mere' 3 dead gets hardly a mention here:

3 dead, 10 wounded in shooting at Mad Butcher grocery store in Arkansas

A gunman opened fire at an Arkansas grocery store Friday, killing at least three and wounding several others, authorities said.

The deadly incident unfolded just before 11:40 a.m. CT at the Mad Butcher in Fordyce, a small town about 70 miles south of Little Rock, state police Director Mike Hagar said at a late-afternoon news conference.
Some of the eight surviving civilians were in "extremely critical" condition, Hagar said.

Clarence Thomas and John Roberts Are at a Fork in the Road

“The difference between Roberts and Thomas is clear. Roberts looks to past practice to establish a principle. Thomas looks to past practice as essentially establishing precedent,” David French writes. “Roberts gets it right.”
