[The mass-shooting incident you failed to hear](https://atlantablackstar.com/2023/08/30/white-man-turned-away-from-black-church-foiling-mass-shooting/) about, because it was prevented. Prevented because the black church was too full up at the time for the camoed, armed white guy to gain entry. If he had been an hour later, a bunch of people would have experienced lead poisoning.        The police captured him alive some while after. Being white allowed him to point his weapon at officers without getting killed. Later investigation into him shows he was quite the piece of work. ---

What’s the best way for a clerk to deal with an unpleasant customer who has been banned from the store? > **[MPD: Man shot at Kroger Fuel Station had been banned from store](https://www.localmemphis.com/article/news/crime/man-hospitalized-after-east-memphis-shooting/522-5be95bb9-63f0-4e9c-8b99-520f238dd590)** > > Memphis Police responded to the shooting Tuesday just before 9 a.m. on Truse Parkway at the Kroger gas station. A man told officers the clerk shot him. Unfortunately there is not enough detail here to make a reasonable judgement; it’s possible the clerk was in fear for her life. ---

Given the guy had been banned from the store I think that’s a reasonable supposition. ---

According to the story, a witness says the guy was throwing things just before the shot was fired. So, yeah, more details needed, but not wild speculation to suppose the guy was behaving in a threatening way. ---

This Supreme Court is taking up gun legislation again - a disaster in the making. > **[Man Bringing Gun Rights Case to SCOTUS Shot at a Woman Multiple Times, Per...](https://jezebel.com/zackey-rahimi-shot-at-woman-gun-rights-case-1850835228)** > > Zackey Rahimi already has a record of violence against women. The Supreme Court will soon rule on his and other domestic abusers' right to own guns. “… This newly reported incident involving Rahimi comes on top of his alleged acts of violence against his ex that we already know of. His alarming rap sheet also [includes](https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-rahimi-11) arrests for shooting at someone’s home with an assault rifle in response to social media posts, shooting at drivers, shooting his gun in front of kids, and shooting his gun when a fast food eatery declined his friend’s credit card.” “According to Everytown for Gun Safety, **[70 women](https://everytownresearch.org/report/guns-and-violence-against-women-americas-uniquely-lethal-intimate-partner-violence-problem) on average are shot and killed every month by an intimate partner.** Abusive partners who can access firearms are [five times more likely to kill](https://everytownresearch.org/report/guns-and-violence-against-women-americas-uniquely-lethal-intimate-partner-violence-problem/) their victims.” bolding mine.

Rahimi is charged with multiple assaults and various violent crimes. Assuming he is found guilty on any of those (he almost certainly will be) he will still be a convicted felon unable to own firearms regardless of the outcome of this one case of his. ---

HIs guilt or innocence is not the question the SC will rule on. Their decision impacts whether or not any state can limit gun ownership based on domestic violence assessments (limitations on the modern assholic opinion of guns for everyone IAW the last breath of the 2nd amendment) . The article somewhat clouds this (as did I, sorry) with the salacious details of the Rahimi’s crimes. ---

Assuming he is found guilty on any of those (he almost certainly will be) he will still be a convicted felon unable to own firearms regardless of the outcome of this one case of his. May this never change. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see proper background checks as well as other laws to keep guns away from people like this also. It’s just that one of the planks of Ramswami’s candidacy would be to hand all felons back their guns. > **[Ramaswamy: Former felons should be allowed to carry guns](https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/07/vivek-ramaswamy-former-felons-guns-00114457)** > > The GOP presidential candidate fleshes out what it means to be a “Second Amendment absolutist” on a podcast. ---

I actually think that while a mention is worthy here, it’s worth a thread of it’s own. It’s not the usual stupid gun news of the day, but about actual legislation brought forth by someone with a specific political and personal agenda. But that’s up to you. ---
