We only have a few days to show support for a proposed rule that would strengthen the U.S. firearms export policy. American firearms are exported all over the globe. This rule would prevent these guns from landing in the hands of those who pose a threat to human rights and national security, such as drug cartels and traffickers. But the gun industry is stopping at nothing to sink this rule because it could hurt their bottom line. That's why I'm reaching out. We need to drive as many comments as possible to show that public safety is more important than gun industry profits. It only takes a minute, add your name now to take action to #EndGunViolence. https://lnkd.in/esZf6q7m

Firearms leave unique microscopic markings on the surface of fired projectiles. Ballistic experts examine and compare these markings, linking ballistic evidence to crime scenes and recovered firearms. The Australian Ballistic Information Network provides #MissionCriticalIntelligence to police across Australia to help them electronically match a weapon to a crime. Ballistic libraries allow police to search for ballistic signatures which can link crimes if the same firearm is used at multiple scenes. #ProtectingAustralia If you know or suspect that someone has an illegal firearm, you can anonymously share that information with @crimestoppers.australia on 1800 333 000 or at crimestoppers.com.au

Happy Forensic Fact Friday! Do you know what ballistics is? Ballistics refers to the evidence from firearms. When a bullet is fired, the gun leaves marks on the bullet and cartridge case that are unique to the gun. These means one bullet can be compared to another bullet to determine if they came from the same gun. Check out the article for more information! https://lnkd.in/ehWtMHwF

Wonder how many people the American "well-regulated militia" will murder today? I support the true meaning of the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, many people seem to think that the Second Amendment states: “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." This is a dangerous half-truth. The whole truth is that the Second Amendment states: "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The often-forgotten first half of the second amendment specifies the goal of the amendment (“the security of a free State”) and the means to achieve that goal (“a well-regulated Militia”). “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." refers to the people in the state militia. It also gives the governors the right to form a militia. For over 90 years, the NRA has tried to get people to forget the first half of the Second Amendment. The position of the NRA is that virtually anyone should be able to purchase any weapon and any accessory. When we keep in mind the goal of the Second Amendment and the means specified in that amendment, we realize that the NRA is promoting a tragically flawed interpretation of the Second Amendment. For example, if a mentally ill individual possesses firearms, it may be detrimental to “the security of a free state”. The NRA has not always held its current, extreme position. In the 1930s, the head of the NRA stated “I have never believed in the general practice of carrying weapons. I think it should be sharply restricted and only under licenses." This reflects a correct understanding of the Second Amendment. What is a well-regulated militia? By definition, it is well regulated, e.g., not a self-defined group. Who regulates a well-regulated militia? Since we are speaking of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the federal government is the body that must regulate a militia. Well-regulated militias require weapons to ensure the security of a free state. However, a proper reading of the Second Amendment makes it clear that individuals do not have a “right” to own firearms; rather, owning firearms is a privilege at best. There is no 2nd amendment right to own a gun by individuals and there never has been.

Safety is critical when handling firearms and the RedCat is an important part of your safety plan. Responsible gun owners store their firearms safely and prevent their firearms from getting into the wrong hands. Use the RedCat as an additional safety device in your safe or rifle case. It installs in seconds and renders the rifle completely inert. That extra bit of security is worth the peace of mind when it comes to keeping your family safe.

Portfolio Management. Total Return Focused. Active, diversified, analytical, and strategic.
3wTruer words on guns have never been spoken. Totally agree, and I feel totally unsafe, especially in public spaces for all Americans, and especially in public schools, colleges and university grounds and facilities, including all the American children, teachers and administrators who are there.
