Just saw breaking news that says “At least 4 people killed at a birthday party in Alabama on Saturday,” and my reaction was “oh…”

I fully realize how wrong that reaction was. Congratulations to the #GOP and #NRA for normalizing shooting in the USA.

I no more want to hear your “thoughts and prayers”..

Gov #GretchenWhitmer signed bills to combat #GunViolence Thurs, 2 mos after a #MassShooting on the campus of #MSU left 3 students dead & 5 injured.

The proposals, which take effect next year, will expand #BackgroundCheck requirements for firearm purchases & institute new #StorageStandards for #guns kept in homes where #children are present.

A #BackgroundCheck should always include a search of available #SexOffender #Registries, in every location the Subject has lived or worked.

Parents, do you know who works with your minors?

Jon Stewart, back here again, making other journalists look bad at their jobs and I'm loving every second of it.

Don't know your neighbors? Just Google your name. You get a free map of your house, your neighbors, your phone numbers, their phone numbers, their relative's phone numbers, the previous owners of your house and their house, previous addresses going back 10+ years, date of birth, arrest records, and aliases. #SpyBalloon #Google #password #backgroundcheck

#BackgroundCheck legislation trending. Proposed #MNLeg would require criminal background checks be performed for firearm transfers.

@RitchieTorres that's great as far as disqualifying them from running but there needs to be a #severePenalty for major #liarsInOffice. #fireThem. Add #illegalDrugUse/ #drugAddiction/ #alcoholism. If they have recovered/ #OnTheWagon, great. Good for them. They can still run/serve. It's the lying about it that's the important part. Rather like a #backgroundCheck. Speaking of which, how about making them pass a #secret or #topSecret level #securityClearance? That would solve many of our problems.

@jeffjarvis

It is telling that @timbray writes so many words completely oblivious to a crucial critical vital safety function of search.

To #backgroundCheck people.

Tim Bray is not worried about talking to #Nazis.

He's fine about sitting at the same table as #Russians.

He has no qualms of bumping into white supremacists.

THEY ARE NOT A THREAT TO TIM BRAY

If you're a self-employed artist who works with children in Ireland, you've probably had to go through Garda vetting at some point. In fact, it's likely that you're having to go through it over and over again, and you're wondering why.

I've written a blog that tries to explain how it all works.

Those meeting representatives now have a Capital Police intel unit scouring & scoring social media posts.

Added note: common practice for employers today ("social media background checks")
