A US woman has fatally shot a man who opened fire on a crowd of people with a semi-automatic rifle in Charleston, West Virginia.
Dennis Butler, a 37-year-old with an extensive criminal history, was killed after he targeted a group of around 40 people attending a birthday party.
Police spokesman Tony Hazelett said the woman’s quick reaction saved lives and may have prevented a mass shooting.
After a farmer was charged with murder for shooting a man after four burglars broke into his home, French President Emmanuel Macron said people should not have the right to self-defense.

Mackay suggested Justin Trudeau gather up all the “‘military-style assault rifles’ banned by our government in May 2020” and send them to Ukraine. He goes on to suggest a tax credit scheme as incentive for law-abiding Canadian sport and recreational shooters to hand over their legally-owned property, worth thousands of dollars. I’m not going to write about the wrong-headedness and fundamental injustice of this “ban,” which hasn’t actually happened, hasn’t prevented a single shooting, or saved a single life. Instead, I want to focus on the futility of the gesture as an attempt to help Ukraine.

Arizona Senate candidate Jim Lamon’s campaign released a Super Bowl ad on Thursday depicting him in armed “showdown” with Democratic leaders including incumbent Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D).

“The good people of Arizona have had enough of you, it’s time for a showdown,” Lamon, who plays himself in the ad, says.

Smart guns, which can only be fired by a verified user, may soon hit the US market after two decades of questions about reliability and concerns of hacking.
LodeStar Works, SmartGunz and Biofire are just several companies making a push into the industry with their high-tech guns – and some could be available this year.
Most smart guns are designed with fingerprint unlocking or radio frequency identification technology that enables the gun to fire only when a chip in the gun communicates with another chip worn by the user in a ring or bracelet.
Kyle Rittenhouse revealed that he is having his AR-15, which was used in self-defense after he was attacked at a Black Lives Matter rally, destroyed.
The corporate media is shifting narratives about the Kyle Rittenhouse case because his self-defense claim is bulletproof. They want to erase the long-understood obligation for all able-bodied citizens to come to the defense of their community when the normal authorities are unwilling or unable to do so.

The firearm industry trade group has released its adjusted NICS figures for the month of October, and they’re pretty eye-popping.
Speaking in Montreal, where there have been several high-profile shootings over the summer, O’Toole says a Conservative government would make it easier for prosecutors to prove that people accused of crimes are members of criminal organizations.
The coronavirus pandemic in the US has been accompanied by soaring gun sales attributed to fears around social unrest and crime and, in some cases, people having more time for hunting.
But now ammunition has fallen into short supply.
Manufacturers say they are producing as much as they can but in many gun stores shelves are sparse and prices are concurrently rising.
