New York filed suit against ten national gun distributors Wednesday, alleging they illegally sold so-called “ghost gun” frames and receivers to the public. The lawsuit , filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James , alleges that the defendants sold the “unfinished” frames and receivers without a background check or traceable record of sale. The defendants allegedly violated federal law of selling firearms without a serial number in order for law enforcement to trace them during a crime scene. The 10 distributors include Blackhawk Manufacturing Group, Salvos Technologies, Brownells Inc and Indie Guns LLC, according to the suit. “In Defendants’ own words, the products they sell are ‘ridiculously easy’ to convert into fully operable and completely untraceable firearms. Nonetheless, despite their illegality, Defendants continue to sell these products into New York State,” the lawsuit said. “Defendants persist in endangering the health and safety of the public by delivering … [Read more...] about New York Sues 10 Gun Companies Over Alleged ‘Ghost Gun’ Parts Distribution

The supposed “land of the free” is the latest of a growing list of countries who have infantilised women, as no longer having the right to control their own bodies, thanks to the overturning of Roe v Wade . This once-landmark decision making it clear that the US constitution protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose an abortion has been eschewed in favour of individual states deciding their own abortion laws. As a barrister, I am sometimes criticised for supposedly “not respecting” the integrity of the rule of law. Well, it is my view that the criminalisation of abortion shows that we are not all accountable to the same laws. The law is made by men, for men: to control, dominate and subjugate women. The law has no place regulating our bodies. Yet thanks to Roe v Wade , women are now seen as little more than “living wombs”. This week, 13 US states made abortion illegal – and that figure is predicted to rise to 26 out of the 50 states. The ruling … [Read more...] about Women are now seen as little more than ‘living wombs’

A new “crypto” super PAC with some wealthy friends has just appeared on the scene , and the group is not messing around. The “Crypto Freedom PAC” has already thrown nearly a million dollars into ads supporting Arizona GOP Senate candidate and Bitcoin millionaire Blake Masters. The PAC is openly allied with conservative political powerhouse Club for Growth, which has backed Masters’ candidacy alongside the group’s sometime rival, Donald Trump , who endorsed the Menlo Park entrepreneur earlier this month. Club for Growth is a conservative nonprofit that advocates for free-market economics. It has long wielded substantial influence in Republican circles, and recently began to wade into the blockchain space. An official affiliated with the super PAC told The Daily Beast the group is a “bit of a response to GOP establishment crypto PACs” that … [Read more...] about New Crypto Super PAC Has Deep Pockets—and Old Connections

Less than one week after the Supreme Court struck down a New York gun law , a 20-year-old woman has been fatally shot while pushing her baby daughter in a stroller. New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the Supreme Court 's gun ruling last week, saying it "will put New Yorkers at further risk of gun violence," while New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called the move "reckless and reprehensible." Officers found the woman with a gunshot wound to the head near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 95th Street on New York City's Upper East Side at around 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department ( NYPD ) told Newsweek. The woman was taken to Metropolitan Hospital Center where she was pronounced dead, the spokesperson said. Her 3-month-old infant was not harmed, police said, but was taken to hospital for medical evaluation. At a news conference on Wednesday night, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said the woman was approached by an "unknown … [Read more...] about Shooting on Upper East Side just days after SCOTUS overturned NY gun law

It would seem a safe bet that when faced with two offers from similarly prestigious companies, a job candidate would, most of the time, end up taking the one with higher pay. But when New York University’s Jason Greenberg and MIT’s Roberto M. Fernandez analyzed over 700 job offers from a cohort of students graduating from elite MBA programs, they found that something other than pay was driving students’ decisions. In a paper that will soon be published in the journal Sociological Science, Greenberg and Fernandez write that the students were significantly more likely to accept jobs found through networking—done either through alums of their program or their own social connections—even if those jobs came with lower pay than offers arriving through more formal channels, like on-campus recruiting. The choice, the researchers suggest, may be driven by students’ interest in their own career development, and a belief that taking a job with more networking opportunities would give them a … [Read more...] about The Perks—and Limits—of Having a Superstar Mentor
