What really matters
WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee is holding an emergency session Thursday to advance a legislative package of gun violence prevention measures following recent mass shootings in Texas and New York.
The package, called the Protecting Our Kids Act, includes red flag law incentives for states, new federal offenses for gun trafficking and straw purchases, and an increase in the legal age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle from 18 to 21 years old.
Democrats are trying to harness momentum for changes to the nation's gun laws following several successive mass shootings. Some moderate Republicans have expressed openness to some proposals.
The meeting is being held during Congress' weeklong recess, with members back home in their districts participating virtually and some others expected to appear in person.
Committee chair Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., opened the meeting by quoting the Talmud.
"In the days since the shooting at Tops Friendly Markets store in Buffalo, New York, and in the long, sad nights since the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, I have turned to a particular teaching in the Talmud: 'Whoever kills one life kills the world entire, and whoever saves one life saves the world entire,'" Nadler said.
He also challenged Republicans who have repeatedly argued that Democrats are politicizing mass shootings to enact new policies. Emphasizing the urgency of the matter, Nadler noted the time that has passed since major mass shootings without substantive action by Congress — 23 years since Columbine, 15 years since Virginia Tech, seven years since Charleston, and four years since Parkland.
Washington is working final guest list for Americas summit
"It has been a week since we learned, again, that gun violence can reach any of our children and grandchildren at any time, and that no number of armed guards can guarantee their safety," he said. "Too soon? My friends, what the hell are you waiting for?"
White House announces more airlifts of baby formula from Australia, UK
Biden will meet shortly with the manufacturers of infant formula, a meeting meant to highlight the efforts the administration is making to address the shortage that has left shelves empty and parents desperate.
Ahead of the meeting, the White House announced that 3.7m bottles-worth of Kendamil infant will be shipped to the US from the UK, to be made available at Target stores across the country and online in the coming weeks.
The White House also announced that the administration had sourced two flights to transport 4.6m bottles-worth of Bubs Australia infant formulas from Melbourne, Australia to Pennsylvania and California on 9 June and 11 June respectively. It said more shipments would be announced in the “coming days.”
This comes amid reporting that the shortage is getting worse, not better. The Wall Street Journal reported today that the crisis is deepening, hitting low-income families in the south and southwest the hardest.
It cites new data by the market-research firm IRI that found 23% of powdered baby formula was out of stock nationally in the week that ended on 22 May, compared with 21% during the previous week.
By comparison, in early January before Abbott Laboratories recalled the formula produced in its facilities, just 11% of powdered baby formula was out of stock because of pandemic-related supply-chain shortages and inflation.
Sorry sport, but you, Lil Schitty are getting dumber by the day
Hey... I am not the one who suggested we are flying in 3.7 bottles of baby formula! That would be the guy you voted for to ruin our country!
It was not his fault but. If the same thing happened if Trump was the President you would blame the Democrats.
Because you have become a highly partisan person interested of what you used to be.
Two Democrats on the House judiciary committee, Sylvia Garcia and Madeleine Dean, read the names of the 19 children who were killed in the Uvalde shooting during the markup hearing.
Garcia argued Republicans are “complicit” in recent mass shootings because they have refused to strengthen gun laws, while Dean lamented congressional inaction on gun control.
“Where is their outrage over the slaughter of 19 fourth-graders and their two teachers? Why don’t they feel an urgency to do something?” Dean asked of her Republican colleagues, as her voice shook with emotion. “This is on our watch.”
This is one live TV
A gunman carrying a rifle and a handgun killed four people on Wednesday at a medical building on a hospital campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma, police said, detailing the latest in a series of mass shootings across the US. The number of wounded was not known.

A police captain, Richard Meulenberg, said multiple people were wounded and the medical complex was a “catastrophic scene”.
Police and hospital officials said they were not ready to identify the dead.
The spate of gun violence across the US has included the killing of 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school and the killing of 10 people in a racist attack in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. It has led to Democrats amplifying their calls for greater restrictions on guns. Republicans emphasize more security at schools.
It was unclear what prompted the deadly assault in Tulsa, Dalgleish said.
“It appears both weapons at one point or another were fired on the scene,“ Dalgleish said. “The officers who arrived were hearing shots in the building, and that’s what led them to the second floor.”
Police responded about three minutes after dispatchers received the report at 4.52pm and officers made contact with the gunman roughly five minutes later, Dalgleish said.
The Tulsa police deputy chief, Eric Dalgleish, is an African American police officer who was so sad
You are worried about baby formula shortage instead widespread deaths most with weapons that should not be available to anyone except police officers and soldiers
Hey... I am not the one who suggested we are flying in 3.7 bottles of baby formula!
BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!! But you have turned into a blithering idiot suggesting that is what he meant!!!!!!!!! Again, Lil Schitty, your projecting of stupidity is getting legendary.......BE PROUD
It was not his fault but. If the same thing happened if Trump was the President you would blame the Democrats.
It didn't happen under four years of Trump...
Nothing like this did.
You are worried about baby formula shortage instead widespread deaths most with weapons that should not be available to anyone except police officers and soldiers
Widespread deaths?
You must be talking about Covid or handguns...
Last time I checked there was a single mass shooting that happened in one place and assault rifles kill a fraction of what handguns and Covid are killing.
Why not crack down on that Chicago and other big city handgun violence Roger? That is truly continuous and widespread throughout the country!
Handguns are a distraction from the real problem with military style semiautomatic weapons.
George Wallace is cheering from hell at you
Widespread deaths?
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! In your perverted universe I guess 30 plus lost lives are not important or widespread.....what would it take for you to say gun deaths are wide spread??? So far in 2022, at least 653 children and teens in the U.S. have been killed by guns. Another 1,609 children and teens have been injured by firearms Please Lil Schitty point out another country that has this wide spread chaos and mayhem that we have here!!!!
McBath recounts the pain of losing a child to gun violence
Congresswoman Lucy McBath acutely understands the pain of parents in Uvalde who lost their children in last week’s mass shooting. McBath’s son, Jordan, was shot and killed in 2012, when he was just 17.
At today’s committee hearing, McBath recounted the horror of receiving the phone call that all parents fear, telling them their child is dead.
.@RepLucyMcBath: "Do we have the courage right here in this body to imagine the phone call parents across Uvalde received last week? The phone call that confirms our fear, our singular fear that my child is dead. That I was unable to protect them. Because I know that phone call." pic.twitter.com/cab3sAhYIZ

Another reason to ban military style semiautomatic weapons
A man who blamed his surgeon for ongoing pain after a recent back surgery bought an AR-style rifle hours before opening fire at a Tulsa medical office, killing the surgeon and three other people before fatally shooting himself, police said Thursday.
Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin says the gunman had recently undergone back surgery and had called a clinic repeatedly complaining of pain.

The President Biden will have a prime time speech today
But Roger, according to Lil Schitty wide spread problems with AR's do not exist or are important enough to bother with!!!!! What a sorry sack of shit he has turned into since he married a child and determined trump really won!!!!!! Getting more difficult to rationalize with those minds that are soooooo destroyed by the GOP white man supremacy complex!!!!!
It didn't happen under four years of Trump...
Nothing like this did.
And that's what's driving them mead, Cold. They are fucked in 5 months and they know it. The only two issues they have to run on - abortion and banning AR-15's are losing issues compared to what's really hurting Americans.
On abortion, the polls have been trending towards the pro-life stance for decades. The left knows this and it's killing them.
On banning AR-15's, nothing in the proposed House bill would have stopped Buffalo, Uvalde, or even Tulsa. NOTHING. It's a bullshit response to the "DO SOMETHING!!!11!" imbeciles. What the left will never admit is that one of the big reasons why the AR-!5 is the most popular home defense weapon in America is the brutally arduous and punitive pistol permit restrictions across America. Only now are we starting to see a surge in Constitutional Carry. Here in NY you had better plan on a minimum of 18 months to get a pistol permit. And that's not even a carry permit. So you want to defend your home TODAY, you're choices are long arms. And the AR platform fits the bill better than virtually every other option out there.

I didn't say "gun" are not a problem...
I said that killings from "assault rifles" were not "widespread".
You will see only a couple of hundred assault rifle deaths compared to probably 14,000 handgun deaths this year.
Keep up, Denny!
In October 2017, a gunman shot and killed nearly 60 people at a music festival in Las Vegas. While not an exhaustive list of every mass shooting that took place during the Trump administration, here are some of the deadliest incidents while Trump was in office:
In November 2017, 26 people were killed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
In February 2018, 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
In May 2018, 10 people were killed at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas.
In October 2018, 11 people were killed at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
In November 2018, 12 people were killed at a restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California.
In May 2019, 12 people were shot and killed at an office building in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
In August 2019, 22 people were killed at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
Scott, we have been seeing huge changes in this country since our last President divided the nation.
We can address this issue separately from law enforcement in our cities that have huge problems with drug addiction and income differences that have been triggered domestic violence with handguns.
But we can almost certainly reduce the chances of these mass murder cases.
A bullet fired from an AR 15 goes much faster than a. 38 or .45 and causes much more damage than bullets from pistols.
We can't ban handguns. But we can ban Military semiautomatic weapons and raise the age limit to 21 and require background checks on retail purchases and on gun sale shows.
It would eventually reduce deaths.

Biden plans primetime address on gun violence following mass shootings
Chris Stein
President Joe Biden will address Americans at 7.30pm eastern time following mass shootings across the country, including at a Texas elementary school last week that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
Biden will deliver “remarks on the recent tragic mass shootings, and the need for Congress to act to pass commonsense laws to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is taking lives every day”, the White House said.
The speech comes on the same day that the House judiciary committee is holding a hearing to mark up Democrats’ omnibus gun-control bill, the Protecting Our Kids Act.
It would eventually reduce deaths.
It would immediately reduce the basic human right of self-defense for millions of law-abiding Americans.
So fuck no and fuck YOU, alky.
The Abbott baby formula plant in Sturgis, Mich., whose closure and recall of its products sparked the crisis, plans to restart production on June 4, and start shipping a specialty formula, EleCare, around June 20. The Food and Drug Administration commissioner, Dr. Robert M. Califf, told the Senate recently that he expected supply to return to normal around the end of July.
They didn’t find in the production at Abbott, this was an own goal by dementia Joe and his FDA
