Intentional acts are not what I was focusing on.simple schoolboy wrote:I truly do not understand this fixation with insurance. How would insurance work for intentional acts? How do you price that?
Is it insurance in case a third party gets ahold of your gun and misuses it? Most places already have legal penalties for that.
Functionally this just sounds like an annual tax on gun ownership. Rich whitey being the only one left with legal guns sounds like the end result.

I guess you could successfully push gun culture underground, make it difficult to train and develop marksmanship.

I legit barked a laugh at the idea that marksmanship is a rampant skill in America.

I'd say #2 is a much shorter way of saying what I've been trying to say all along. With the goal being #1 eventually.Bi_3 wrote:Maybe divide it into two problems:
1.) Reducing the number of guns in circulation
2.) Reducing the increase in the number of guns in circulation
Number two is much easier to tackle and makes solutions to number possible

According to FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Paul Keenan, Hole was placed on an immediate detention mental health temporary hold by IMPD after his mother contacted them in March 2020.
"Based on items observed in the suspect’s bedroom at that time, he was interviewed by the FBI in April 2020," Keenan said in a statement. "No Racially Motivated Violent Extremism (RMVE) ideology was identified during the course of the assessment and no criminal violation was found. The shotgun was not returned to the suspect.”
but perhaps it has a different cop meaning. Ever being involuntarily commited puts you on the no guns list, so sounds like no follow up.immediate detention mental health temporary hold by IMPD

This quote is kind of weirdly specific:According to FBI Indianapolis Special Agent in Charge Paul Keenan, Hole was placed on an immediate detention mental health temporary hold by IMPD after his mother contacted them in March 2020.

As long as he didn't do a racism he's cool, apparently.
This to me sounds like he should have been put under a 72 hour hold in a psychiatric institution:but perhaps it has a different cop meaning. Ever being involuntarily commited puts you on the no guns list, so sounds like no follow up.immediate detention mental health temporary hold by IMPD

When authorities arrived they discovered that multiple people had been shot after an alleged verbal confrontation at a 12-year-old child’s birthday party somehow erupted into a gunfight.
“Through further investigation, officers discovered nine juveniles were injured,” St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a media statement. “Of the nine, seven were treated at a local hospital and released. Two remain in the hospital in stable condition. Those injured were a 17-year-old male shot in the arm; a 16-year-old male grazed in the ribs; a 15-year-old male with a graze wound to the ankle; a 15-year-old male shot in the foot; a 14-year-old male shot in the leg; a 13-year-old male shot in the leg; and a 12-year-old shot in both legs. A 16-year-old male shot in the stomach and a 14-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the head remain in the hospital.”

Authorities believe that an estimated 60 young people were at the 12-year-old’s birthday party and that two groups of male juveniles who have an ongoing feud with each other began arguing at some point during the party which is what eventually led to the shootout.
Yet, in spite of all of the witnesses at the party, not a single person has given a formal statement of what they saw take place. No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting but officers have determined that two guns were fired in the altercation.
“Not one person has given a formal statement,” Sheriff Tregre said in a statement following the incident. “I am asking witnesses to come forward with information to help us learn more about what happened.”
