@losttourist @JugglingWithEggs Except the problem ain't #guns, but #ViolenceCulture.

- #Canada, #Switzerland, #Slovenia and #Serbia show that legal weapons ain't the problem!
- #Germany shows that the numbers are indifferent of #criminalization!

#InconvenientTruth

The #Trump admin, which has systematically rolled back #firearms #regulations since returning to office, has also gutted federal #GunViolence prevention efforts, slashing #funding for programs & #research & even SUPPRESSING #taxpayer-funded reports aimed at reducing #gun injuries & deaths.

#Trump Administration Guts Efforts to Prevent #GunViolence, Suppressing Reports

As the admin works to expand gun rights, hospitals & community groups have lost funding, & reports on preventing firearm injuries have vanished from government websites.

#SCOTUS struckdown a #Hawaii #law requiring people to get permission to carry #guns into stores & hotels, in its latest opinion backing #2A rights.

The court’s 6-3 decision means people can carry guns onto privately owned property like shopping malls & gas stations, unless the owners specifically say guns are banned at their establishments.

It’s a win for the #Trump admin, which argued the law violates the #SecondAmendment. It’s also a win for #MassShooting planners.

California AB 2047: The End of Open Source 3D Printing

California just introduced a bill that doesn't just regulate "ghost guns", it mandates a digital kill switch for every 3D printer sold. California AB 2047 requires "blocking technology" that connects your printer to a government-approved database before every single print. If the system goes down, or your file is flagged, your hardware becomes a paperweight.

This isn't just about firearms. This is the death of Open Source. If this bill passes, it effectively bans Marlin, Klipper, and Orca Slicer, forcing every manufacturer to lock down their firmware. It turns general-purpose computing into a walled garden where you only rent permission to use the hardware you own.

All the donor-funded foundations ought to be fighting against and speaking out against this Orwellian garbage.
