Newtown Action Alliance’s Post

During the regional preparatory meetings for the Fourth Review Conference #RevCon4, states in the region reflect on the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of the Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons #UNPoA and the International Tracing Instrument #ITI, with Latin America and the Caribbean being one of the most affected regions in the world. According to UNODC, approximately 40% of homicides globally occur in the region, with 54% committed with firearms. Today, Caribbean States begin their preparatory meeting.

https://lnkd.in/eUUDg67V It's not the pistols and other legally owned weapons by responsible hunters, gun enthusiasts or collectors that contribute to illegal weapons supply. It's unregulated gun shows and other under the counter suppliers who are providing the supply. There's another aspect the government and HS needs to look at also: the massive influx of U.S. military weapons into Mexico. Then again it begs the question - how many U.S. military weapons make their way into the U.S. militias? #illegal weapons #interstate highway system

Greetings everyone. Here is our latest deep dive episode - this time about the increased demand for firearms among civilians, following October 7th. Please watch and comment below! https://lnkd.in/dZPUdcFt

The National Police of Ukraine became an observer in the European Firearms Experts group   On 10 April 2024, EUAM Ukraine facilitated the participation of a representative of the NPU in the plenary meeting of the European Firearms Expert Group (EFE), a European-level multilateral organisation dedicated to combating illicit firearms trafficking. The involvement of the NPU in the EFE’s activities as an observer was preceded by EUAM Ukraine's ongoing efforts to share European best practices in firearms control, including through a series of study visits to the national firearms focal points of EU Member States. Further cooperation between Ukraine and EFE will be carried out in accordance with one of EFE's strategic objectives for 2023-2024 - monitoring and assessing the consequences of Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, including the development of Ukrainian legislation on #firearms and the introduction of a national firearms focal point.

In a new episode, the Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal explores the complicity of U.S. weapons manufacturers in aiding and abetting the commission of #WarCrimes against Iraq. Watch the video, uncover the truth, and join the call for accountability.

⚠ Recent evidence shows early signs that organized #armstrafficking is on the rise in #Ukraine, marking a potential change from our latest report on the topic: In June 2024, heavy weapons were seized by Ukrainian law enforcement, including an anti-aircraft gun, a US machine gun, and a high-end US automatic rifle carried exclusively by special forces. Significantly, it wasn’t civilians who were collecting discarded weapons and trying to sell them, but two active military personnel, neither of whom had a criminal record, according to a police report.

important synopsis

I repeat my opening framing, from an earlier reshare today, also from Kyle Reyes - the opening framing below absolutely fits perfectly for both reshares, in my extensively-studied opinion validated with numerous impressively credentialed (& others) also extensively studied, highly-astute, notably high-principled and exceptionally "buttoned-down" people. My opening framing follows now: #enemieswithinthegates Arrayed against this barely-still, #constitutionalrepresentativerepublic Bringing in even more, #enemieswithinthegates If correct, then "why?" you ask? Perhaps, #wef members, partners, supporters and friends... Bulldozing a path for, #unagenda2030 Mandating, #nosovereignnations #henceopenborders #noprivateproperty #notravel #unlessyouare #davosjetsetterselite ? And here's a little hint: US #specops #veteran turned Globetrotting Investigative Journalist and War Correspondent Michael Yon in an interview I watched last year stated and I quote: "The WEF and CCP are more one and the same than partners..." And reportedly #gates and the #ccp leveraged far more teaming influence in "helping select" both the #un's #who top leadership and then drive even further, overall WHO policy and more in recent years than that of any other individuals, nations or groups. Happily at least we all know the "pan" demic had absolutely zero impact on #election #integrity or anything else important, of course. Thank God "Sudden Death Syndrome" is obviously due to #climate #change, of course! And that "pan" demic #treaty topic clearly also isn't anything at all to worry about either, including "jb" signing thereby reportedly fully ceding sovereign nation status to the supposedly "UN-run" #who. If he does sign it, obviously it would be entirely unrelated to the apparently 94 EAs he signed *deliberately unsecuring the border*, including per sworn testimony to #congress by a #border and #immigration #executive awarded a top honor by #potus #obama. Remember when #robert #mueller gave sworn testimony after "his" investigation *he reportedly led* during the #potus #trump Administration? Remember cries of "elder abuse" after the very sad shadow of his former self effectively leapt off the page in that testimony? Recognize any (even possible) patterns? But that's just what I think might be (/ pointing very strongly to what may very well be) happening. What do you all think? #surveysays

A proposal to save lives during protests, riots, and other public order incidents: To any member of the Military "shoot" means "shoot", not stun. This is a failure of communication stemming from a lack of unified communication doctrine between Military and the law enforcement around them who issued the command to "hit it." The word for engaging a suspect with a LESS-LETHAL weapon must not be "shoot" for the reason clearly illustrated - it can get people shot with regular bullets. I propose that the order to fire any less-lethal projectile should universally be "STUN" and not "shoot"(or "hit it") in both Military and Law Enforcement circles to eliminate confusion. (Marker rounds in this case were intended to psychologically stun and prevent the driver from endangering the line) #LawEnforcement #Military #PublicSafety #PublicHealth #Justicereform #LawAndOrder #Reform #Change #Police #Shooting #Soldiers #Veterans #Details #Communication #Training #LawEnforcementTraining #LessonsLearned #SavingLives #CivilService #PublicService #SafetyFirst #SafetyCulture
