Column: We marked the Fourth of July in an exceptionally American way: with a hail of gun violence
LA TimesMementos and candles are seen at a memorial for a victim of a fatal July 3 mass shooting in Philadelphia. “Americans choose differently.” In fact, Americans do not choose differently: Eight out of 10 registered voters, including most Republicans, want criminal background and mental health checks for all gun buyers; a minimum age of 21 and a 30-day waiting period for firearm purchases; and gun possession bans for people deemed a danger to themselves or others. Ron DeSantis, building his Republican presidential platform, recently championed an insane law allowing people to carry concealed weapons without a permit in a state that has seen some of the nation’s worst gun massacres. Last year’s Bruen decision held that judges should no longer weigh the public interest in considering whether gun restrictions intended to make communities safer are constitutional. Instead, judges must look to the nation’s “historical tradition of firearm regulation,” which in fact is less hostile to gun control than the conservative justices claimed.
