When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. A bump-stock-equipped semiautomatic rifle fires ‘automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.’ Because I, like Congress, call that a machine gun, I respectfully dissent — Justice Sonia Sotomayor #quotes#quote#MachineGun#GunViolence#Guns#Thomas#MassShootings#LasVegas#BumpStock
#SCOTUS on Fri sided w/a Texas man who challenged a federal #law enacted during the Trump admin that #outlawed#BumpStocks, devices that greatly increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic #weapons.
The 6-3 ruling invalidates the #ban on bump stocks put in place following the 2017 mass shooting at a music festival in #LasVegas & finds that the #ATF exceed its #authority when it issued the ban in 2018.
During Drumpf's Vegas Klan rally yesterday, he made this statement-
"So this is the first time I've said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips you're going to be very happy," Trump said toward the end of his remarks. "Because when I get to office we are going to not charge taxes on tips, on people making tips."

“Two people are dead following a #shooting at a law office in the Summerlin area of #LasVegas Monday morning, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Monday.

This time in 2022 Lake Mead's water level had reached a plateau and started a steep decline to record lows. In 2024 Lake Mead's water level is soaring relatively with no signs of plateau. Yet the winter of 2021/22 yielded a very average snow pack in the Upper Colorado region just like the winter of 2023/24 looks like it will be. Furthermore Lake Powell is releasing about the same volume of water to Lake Mead in 2024 as in 2022.
