    Just like the courts had to do in NY.  Is that a side affect of the domestic migration moving electoral?

     

    ALF lives 18 miles from Buffalo in the most gerrymandered   republican districts of all NYS .

     

    As a result of redistricting after the 2020 U.S. Census, Representative Claudia Tenney now has the honor of serving New York’s 24th Congressional district in the 118th Congress. Our sprawling district includes parts of 12 counties, spanning from the North Country, through Central New York, the Finger Lakes Region, and Western New York.

  2. Florida judge rules DeSantis’ redistricting map unconstitutional over impact on Black voters

    Central to the case is former U.S. Rep. Al Lawson, D-Fla., whose district splintered under the new map. The lawmaker, who is black, had previously enjoyed support from a wide base of Black voters in the district, but he lost his race by 20 points under the new map.


    Republicans in the Florida legislature had previously introduced a redistricting map that likely would have allowed Lawson to win re-election, but the DeSantis administration put forward its own version of the map and vowed to veto any other.

    Where do you believe people just buy handguns without a record or check for the ATF to follow up on?

     

    Professors at Northeastern and Harvard universities conducted a gun survey in 2015 and found that 22% of gun owners who reported obtaining their most recent firearm within the previous two years reported doing so without a background check. For firearms purchased privately, including sales between individuals in person, online or at gun shows, 50% were obtained without a background check.

     

    Gun shows can include either licensed dealers or private sellers. So at a gun show, the licensed sellers need to run a background check on buyers, and the non-licensed sellers don’t.

    Unregulated gun shows can be a magnet for gun traffickers to obtain large quantities of weapons without any background checks. Guns purchased at gun shows are much more likely to be used in criminal activity.

     Up to 80% of firearms used for criminal purposes were obtained from unlicensed sources, meaning no background check was required. This proposed rule will help address this dangerous problem and greatly expand background checks.

    The problem is this is happened before right he was doing this even before he hit his head or am I missing something?

     

    Mr. McConnell had a concussion in March when he fell at a Washington hotel during a fund-raising event

     

    Then last month, Mr. McConnell froze midsentence during an appearance at his weekly news conference in the Capitol and was briefly escorted away from the microphones to recover.

     

    froze up suddenly during a news conference on Wednesday in Covington, Ky., the second such episode he has experienced on camera in recent weeks.

    Do u think criminals obtain guns legally at these shows? I'll give u a hint, the answer is no. Crack down on illegal possessions and leave law abiding citizens alone. Prosecute the criminals!

     

    The problem is criminals not responsible gun owners , how to solve this problem is the question.

     

    Anyone who wants to make money can buy guns at these shows and sell them to criminals.
