The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

Hate crime shooting at two Jewish community centers. Too early to tell how he bought his guns and whether it's something sound gun control could have prevented.

Five people were shot outside two Jewish community centers in Kansas city, heartland of America. Three are now dead, a boy, his grandfather and an employee of the assisted living facility.

The alleged shooter, Frazier Glenn Miller, is a 73 year old anti-semite, founder and former leader of the Knights of Ku Klux Klan (forced to shut down after being sued for being an illegal paramilitary organization) and the White Patriot Party. He currently publishes the Aryan Alternative.

Mr. Miller has advocated (on internet forums) the extermination of Jews. In the 1980’s he served three years in jail on weapons charges and for conspiracy to assassinate Morris Dees, founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Three years was his reduced sentence for having testified against other white supremacists.

Yes, I think the law could have done a better job of keeping firearms out of his hands. Did he buy them at a gun show? From the back of a van? Can they be traced? If not, why not? Shouldn’t the people who sold them to him have some liability?

Aside from the gun issue I wanted to chime in and say what an incredible coward Frazier Glenn Miller is. Loser, ex-KKK filth that I don't want to share the same air with either. To target innocent people who cannot defend themselves on the eve of a holy Jewish celebration is beyond unforgivable. As much of a pussy as shooting kids opening Christmas presents while they smile under the tree.

What does Holy Friday and Easter mean to you, Frazier Glenn Miller? Where will you be on those days?

He is obviously a felon and therefore disqualified from lawfully purchasing or owning firearms. I'd say 99% chance they were acquired illegally (probably from a fellow klansmen). 1% chance it was a gun show.

Can they be traced? Yes. Every time a firearm is lawfully purchased from a FFL dealer (which is where the gun had to have been bought at one point), you must fill out an ATF form, that includes the serial number on the gun. That number can be traced back to the FFL dealer it was sold from and therefore, through a search of gun sales, find the original owner. From there it's an investigation on who owned it, if they are affiliated with the suspect or if they sold the gun off to someone else, etc.

Business Insider published the following chart showing the effect of Florida's stand your ground law on gun deaths.

Letter we get the following addendum

Note: BI reader P.A. Fedewa created an easier-to-read version of the above chart from Reuters. It more clearly shows that gun deaths increased between 2005 and 2007 by flipping the y-axis. We're adding it to this post with his permission. The original chart and graphic design was done by Reuters.

Is this a joke or what?? Nice job, Reuters.

Thanks for the article, though I did find the closing quote, “I don’t want to be like I’m against guns or pro guns, but I do think giving a child a gun is sort of like giving your kids car keys,” somewhat amusing. Giving a child a gun is like, giving a child a fucking gun!!

On the good news side, there a very small window in which States might be able so pass legislation that would disarm spouse abusers.
