... Only 16 states currently prohibit carrying guns at demonstrations, while some jurisdictions may also restrict firearms in public spaces, government buildings and at certain events.

It is unclear whether Trump would consider introducing a firearm restriction for demonstrations on a federal level. ...

... The Trump administration pledged to deport violent criminals"but instead, some of them have been on the payrolls of the federal government's most aggressive agencies.

ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual and violent criminal histories in recent years, according to a report published Monday by the Ohio Immigrant Alliance with research from the Pacific Antifascist Collective.

At least 20 of those individuals committed offenses with underage victims, according to the report. ...

OK, now do the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" demonstration, and the guns that were carried (and fired) there.

Quite curious (or not) the apparent down-playing of Nazi influence by some posters on this thread.

So, the lies of the Trump admin seem to be continuing?

... Leavitt was peppered with questions during the White House press briefing about whether Trump agreed with sentiments of Pretti's killing that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller made over the weekend.

That included Noem saying Pretti "attacked" federal law enforcement while "brandishing" a firearm and saying the incident was an example of "domestic terrorism." Meanwhile, Miller referred to Pretti as a "would-be assassin" who "tried to murder federal law enforcement."

Multiple angles of video captured by witnesses of Pretti's confrontation with federal law enforcement Saturday show an officer shooting Pretti in the back after an altercation in which Pretti, filming the officers, sought to help a woman being pepper-sprayed before he was also pepper-sprayed. Video appears to show an officer taking Pretti's gun and walking away before he was shot.

When asked whether Trump agrees with Noem and Miller's sentiments on the circumstances, Leavitt said she has not heard the president "characterize Mr. Pretti in that way."

"However, I have heard the president say he wants to let the facts and the investigation lead itself," Leavitt said.

Leavitt did not give a definitive answer when another reporter asked whether Miller will be apologizing to Pretti's family.

"Again, this incident remains under investigation, and nobody here at the White House, including the president of the United States, wants to see Americans hurt or killed and losing their lives in American streets," she responded. ...

Maybe because he as no intention of listening to the policy directions his Cabinet may be offering?

... Many modern Windows computers rely on full-disk encryption, called BitLocker, which is enabled by default.

This type of technology should prevent anyone except the device owner from accessing the data if the computer is locked and powered off.

But, by default, BitLocker recovery keys are uploaded to Microsoft's cloud, allowing the tech giant -- and by extension law enforcement -- to access them and use them to decrypt drives encrypted with BitLocker, as with the case reported by Forbes. ...

@#19 ... MAGATS are ------- retarded ...

I am not yet convinced of that.

What I do see, however, is that MAGA seems to want to (I'll be kind) cause grief for people with political views they do not agree with.

I remain to be convinced that this is the "new Peyton Place."

Or just a continuation of what has always occurred.

That is, sex for influence.
