Tras los daños a la infraestructura de Jalisco causados por #Nora, la SIOP metió el acelerador para dictaminar todo lo que hay que reparar y cuánto costará, planear y prender la maquinaria. Esperamos que la federación nos ayude, pero, mientras tanto, empezamos con lo que tenemos. 
Así como en el socavón de la carretera El Grullo-Cd. Guzmán, en Santa María del Oro ya va adelantada la liberación y limpieza del tramo que conecta con Valle de Juárez para luego repararlo, lo mismo con 3 puentes de este municipio, a los que hay que entrarles desde sus cimientos.
Ahí mismo comenzó la reparación del camino al Tepehuaje y de su libramiento; mientras tanto, en #Mascota, toca reparar el puente peatonal de la comunidad de San Rafael que forma parte de la Ruta del Peregrino.
Nevím jak váš feed, ale ten můj celý den vyplňují videa a fotky z jihu USA zachycující řádění hurikánu #Ida (ale stejné můžete vidět i z Mexika, kde řádí #Nora).
Záběry mají opakující se motiv: devastující záplavy.
A my si teď vysvětlíme, proč k nim dochází. Krátký #vesmírníček

A co bych to byl za člověka, kdybych vás připravil o pravidelnou vesmírníčkovou hudební vložku. Takže než najdu vhodné obrázky, dejte si zatím tohle ;)
Začněme zlehka, ať se nám nikdo v povídání neztratí.
Hurikán je označení pro tropickou cyklónu v Atlantiku. Kdyby stejná tropická cyklóna vznikla v Indickém oceánu, bude to cyklóna. A kdyby v Pacifiku, hle tajfun...
Různá jména, ale furt to samé... obrovský atmosférický vír.

1. Today, for the first time in decades, our government is going to take meaningful action to reduce gun violence in America. Here's a thread of some of what will change, and what still needs to be done. #TheTimeIsNow
2. First, President Biden is nominating a truly outstanding person to head the ATF. By nominating David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, @POTUS is demonstrating just how seriously his administration takes gun violence. #TheTimeIsNow
3. President Biden is ordering the Justice Department to make rule changes to stop the spread of ghost guns. These untraceable firearms require no background checks, and include build-at-home kits and 3D printed guns. #TheTimeIsNow

2) No law can stop all crime. What laws do (like laws against running red lights) is give law enforcement a way to deter, enforce, and prosecute.

3) Background checks have stopped nearly TWO MILLION prohibited persons from buying guns, but BGCs are only required by licensed dealers. NICS data sharing is voluntary & exemptions for private sales across 38 states make BGC's easy to circumvent.

No, “AR” doesn’t stand for “Assault Rifle,” but was it designed as a military assault rifle to kill people?

1/3: ArmaLite first developed AR-15 in late 40s as a military rifle & sold patent to Colt who developed it into the M16 & ramped up production of semiautomatic version for law enforcement marketed as the AR-15 designed to kill PEOPLE!

2/3: The AR-15 was developed as a military weapon. The AR-15 came first, in 1947 & tested in Vietnam; the M16 a decade later. There are only subtle differences such as semi vs full auto. Bump stock helps with that. Learn more:

Ben Jackson: Half of the increase in gun sales is people who are buying guns for the 1st time. It's scary because they're home, scared, in a bad political environment, & have never owned a gun before. That's a dangerous situation.

The police found several empty large capacity magazines in the shooter’s possession after a “long” gun battle.
These magazines allow mass shooters to fire more rounds before reloading.
The @NRA lobbied against Virginia HB 2492 which would have banned them. The bill failed.

We are heartbroken by the deaths by suicide of survivors of gun violence. Our hearts are with their loved ones.
We will not speculate on the triggers for these deaths, nor on the methods.
Rather, we will honor their memories by discussing the links between guns and suicide.

Rather, we will honor their memories by discussing the links between guns and suicide.
Firstly, it is important to note that the language around suicide matters. We pay attention to these things, and try to get it right. If you are unfamiliar with the language of suicide and accepted terminology, we recommend this excellent glossary:
holliseaster.com/p/suicide-rela…

The data is clear: where people have more access to guns, more people die from suicide. Guns themselves are a risk factor for attempts, and are substantially more lethal when used in a suicide.

Kavanaugh’s presence on the Supreme Court could undermine decades of work to strengthen gun policy and would gravely jeopardize public safety. #NoRA

US Law defines a machine gun as "...any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."
Pretty clear, right? Well this gun has TWO triggers. #NoRA
