Wait a second. Cops AREN’T supposed to punch suspects in the face?

Maybe she’s scared. Maybe she’s hesitant. Maybe she was in a really bad relationship. Maybe it’s health problems. Maybe she’s not interested after all. No way to know what’s going on in her head, even if you ask. If I were in your shoes I’d say, “hey. I’m feeling mixed signals because of xyz. I’d still like to do this but if you don’t want to, that’s okay too. If it’s only that you’re not ready, just let me know when you are.”

The Israeli government is murdering children and committing war crimes, and they’re upset about what The Onion has to say about it.

Yes. I think it’s especially important for attracting (or perhaps more accurately, maintaining) new users to the fediverse.

Because Star Trek future doesn’t have their favorite features: bigotry, inequality, and runaway capitalism.

I’m not in a position to affect change in a powerful way. So I try to stay educated and informed, I vote at the ballot box, I vote with my wallet, I donate what I reasonably can to places where I think it will help, and I speak out when it’s appropriate to do so.

Like I said your original request (statistics of “legal” CCW permit holder, without premeditation, discharging a firearm, in California) is incredibly specific, making it very difficult to find quality research. But here’s what I was able to find for you:

Johns Hopkins has this: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/study-finds-significant-increase-in-firearm-assaults-in-states-that-relaxed-conceal-carry-permit-restrictions

This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html

Here’s a summary from GVPedia (note the sources in the footnotes): https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GVPedia-Permitless-Carry-Factsheet-Feb2022.pdf

Hopes this helps.

PRI is a right-wing political policy advocacy group. Do you have a nonpartisan source?
