Does this count as “Stupid Gun News”? ( I mean… I think it’s stupid… ) > **[Massachusetts police standoff with heavily armed men ends in 11 arrests | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/03/us/shelter-in-place-wakefield-reading-massachusetts/index.html)** > > A standoff overnight between Massachusetts State Police and "several heavily armed men" in the woods ended Saturday morning with 11 people arrested, authorities said. ---

Lots of stupidity but thankfully no shots fired. ---

They stated a starting point in R.I. with an end point in Maine for “training”. I find it disturbing that Dr. Jill Biden was in NH today and also made a surprise stop in Maine. ---

Yeah. In a couple of cases I posted about stories there to the effect of, “One person with a gun threatens another person with a gun, and the second person shoots the first person to death. How is that positive news about guns?” Not well received. ---

Two teens, two guns, two deaths. Should this go into the “Positive Gun News” thread, because two bad guys were killed in self-defense with guns?

Sandy Hook families are suing Remington Arms over the deaths of their kids, and the court ordered Remington to release documents related to the case. Remington dumped tens of thousands of cartoons, pictures, and crap that had nothing to do with the case. > **[A gunmaker sent thousands of 'random cartoons' and gifs to Sandy Hook...](https://www.insider.com/remington-cartoons-gifs-documentation-sandy-hook-families-lawyers-lawsuit-2021-7)** > > Lawyers representing families said they found more than 18,000 cartoons and more than 15,000 "random pictures" in documents provided by Remington. ---

WAG… The order was for ‘all emails and communications within xxx and yyy departments’ and there were a lot of ‘trash’ emails exchanged. But to have not turned them over would have been a violation of the judge’s order. Makes for a nice one-sided whine in the pit though. ---

I don’t know what the order said but my WAG is that this was “Fuck you and your subpoena.” ---
