In Must Know News…

• The Supreme Court struck down a ban on bump-stocks, a gun accessory that allows regular rifles to fire up to 800 rounds a minute, a rate comparable to automatic weapons. Former President Trump banned bump-stocks in 2017 after they were used in the Las Vegas music festival shooting that killed 58 people. Liberal justices dissented the ruling, arguing that it “will have deadly consequences.”
• A federal judge ordered Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to liquidate his personal assets in order to pay the massive defamation verdicts owed to the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims. Jones is required to pay 1.5 billion dollars in damages after he falsely claimed the Sandy Hook massacre that killed 20 children and 6 teachers was a hoax. How’s that for karma?
• Nine people were injured after a gunman opened fire on a splash pad in a Detroit suburb. Two of the victims remain in critical condition, including an 8 year old boy. Police found the gunman in a nearby home, having committed suicide after the incident. No motive has yet been established, and the attack appears to be random.
