 AP did not look at how many of the resold guns figured in crimes committed out of state, so the actual number of misused weapons could be higher.
.
The State Patrol hasn’t sold any weapons since 2014 and at one point accumulated more than 400 in the hope the Legislature would change the law and let the agency destroy them. Democratic Rep. Tana Senn of Bellevue is sponsoring such a bill.
“I know many of the police chiefs in my district chose not to sell but rather to destroy, and in their own words, ‘It’s so we can sleep at night,'” Senn told a legislative committee.
The National Rifle Association opposes the plan.
“The police chiefs maybe could sleep better if they went out and apprehended the criminals behind the guns and didn’t worry about destroying perfectly legal firearms that are no more easy to purchase than a brand-new firearm at a firearms dealer,” NRA spokesman Tom Kwieciak said.
Tragedies involving police-sold guns have happened throughout the U.S.
In 2010, a mentally ill man ambushed and wounded two Pentagon police officers with a handgun sold by Memphis, Tennessee, police. Also that year, a Las Vegas court security officer was killed by a man with a shotgun sold by a Memphis-area sheriff’s office. And in 2015, an unstable man walked into City Hall in New Hope, Minnesota, and wounded two officers with a shotgun sold by the Duluth Police Department. The department has since stopped selling guns and now destroys them.
The weapons sold back to the public in Washington include Colt, Glock and Ruger pistols, 12-gauge shotguns,.22-caliber rifles and assault weapons such as AR-15 and SKS rifles. All such sales are handled through federally licensed firearms dealers, including auction houses, pawnshops and sporting goods stores..”
There is no master list of guns sold by police, so compiling one for Washington state involved dozens of public-records requests to individual agencies. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives keeps track of crime guns but refused to release information from its database, so the AP collected databases from individual agencies and compared them with the sold guns.
One of the guns that ended up in a new police report was a.22-caliber.
The weapon Juhl used to kill himself was in a batch the State Patrol traded in 2012. It was purchased by a man in Yakima, who sold it to someone else, who then sold it on Craigslist. Juhl’s girlfriend told police that’s where he.An unofficial leaked list of potential Celebrity Big Brother contestants reveals that among the possible future houseguests are Caitlyn Jenner and former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
In addition to Spicer and Jenner, the list, released by Twitter user @BBSecretSusan, includes Aubrey O'Day of the girl group Danity Kane, Saturday Night Live comic Bobby Moynihan, retired NFL player Calvin Johnson, Queer Eye fashion expert Carson Kressley, Lindsay Lohan's mother and manager Dina Lohan, Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett, The Usual Suspects actor Stephen Baldwin, reality star Tiffany Pollard and banned Olympic skater Tonya Harding.
CBS has not confirmed the list and an official cast announcement has not yet been made, so it's unclear if the list leaked by the Twitter account, which describes itself as a "secret casting Big Brother insider," is accurate.
Notable Big Brother insider, Twitter account @realvegasforsure, reportedly teased two celebrity houseguests in tweets consisting of a series of emojis, according to Newsweek. Many followers speculated that one tweet featuring a gold medal and a movie reel could indicate Jenner, a former Olympian and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. Another tweet included an American flag, an eagle and a monument, implying someone from the White House could be on board, which would explain Spicer's name on the list.
Spicer's likely controversial appearance would follow that of Omarosa Manigault, who caused a stir when she joined the first season of Big Brother Celebrity Edition in 2018 following her dismissal from the Trump Administration. On the show, she revealed her own views on President Donald Trump's leadership — calling his behavior worse than what the public thought.
Lohan's potential involvement was previously reported; she was reportedly offered a position with a guaranteed $100,000 contract, as well as $5,000 bonuses for every eviction she survives. That deal reportedly stands for the rest of the Celebrity contestants as well.
The winner of the competition will earn $250,000; a favorite houseguest, chosen by viewers at the end of the season, takes home an extra $25,000, just as with the regular Big Brother series.
Also like the regular Big Brother series, the show locks the celebrity contestants inside a house together without any contact with the outside world, where they are monitored 24/7 by cameras and compete in challenges to control the household in an effort to avoid being evicted by their fellow houseguests.
The first season of Celebrity Big Brother ran in the winter of 2018, with Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winokur besting TV personality Ross Mathews for the top prize.
Season 2 of Celebrity Big Brother is set to premiere on Monday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.I've just been one busy lady this week. The Boy was sick with some nasty lung butter, the Garden is hating me, and I'm running off to join the Rollerderby! The Boy is all better and back to school (finally) after a weekend of spending lots of time in his room hunched over the vaporizer breathing in the menthol fumes.
Here is the story with the garden hating me: On Sunday I was ready to kick that guy Mel who writes the square foot gardening books. We went to Lowes and got all this 1/2" pvc pipe to make little greenhouse supports over each bed. That was a total pain cause the pipes are 10 feet long and had to be strapped to the roof of the car etc. etc and Steve dropped one on my toe. (ouch!)
We followed the directions in the book exactly, and ended up with a bunch of broken pipes and the garden beds still not covered. grrr. There goes $20 down the drain. I'm going to try something else this weekend. I need to get my onions and strawberries and lettuce and things planted NOW. If I do that without a way to cover everything with netting the squirrels and skunks will just dig it all back up for me. This is highly frustrating.
My friend (and fellow stitcher/bitcher) Courtney decided to start up an all-girl flat track rollerderby league in Northwest Arkansas. I love skating. I don't really care if I get bruised up a little, and I need some exercise so I ordered some new speed skates and signed up. The first meeting to organize the new league was this past Saturday. 25-30 people showed up and everyone is way excited. There are a million things to do. I'm making 1" buttons on the button press every spare minute this week plus doing research on pads and helments so there hasn't been a lot of the knitting or spinning or weaving going on.
I DID manage to finish the Noro Kureyon Charlotte's Web shawl, get it fringed, and get it blocked. I LOVE this thing. It is spectacular in it's awesomeness. I'll post pictures maybe tonight. I wonder if handknit socks will hold up to the skates.In the first-ever live recording of the Masters of Scale podcast, host Reid Hoffman will lead a captivating conversation with a legendary founder (and some special guests) in an evening full of illuminating stories, hard-won truths and high-level insight on growing a business.

How To Test Your Dansguardian, Safesquid, POESIA, Parental Internet Filter Or We-Blocker Keyword Filter Anytime Anywhere
Keyword filters block unwanted web pages on the basis of potentially fallen words found in them. However, to be sure that a page is indeed offensive, keyword filters nowadays are not designed to block sites on the basis of just about any potentially offensive word. Instead they measure the number of potentially offensive phrases and often the number of times they occur so as to allow a limited number of occurrences in pages such as those on anatomy, forms requiring gender information, crime reports, statistical reports, administrative information, art etc. The leading keyword blockers like Dansguardian which is extremely popular on Linux or SafeSquid which is popular on Linux and Windows use this method known as a weighed keyword score.
UPDATE: Dansguardian users please refer to instead of the present tutorial for much faster and better results.
While Dansguardian comes configured with a keyword blocker on SafeSquid you have to visit, locate the panel titled Select a Section to Configure, click the drop-down box and select Keyword filter, then hit Submit.
