Republicans in the minority , meanwhile , voiced their opposition alongside the Virginia Citizens Defense League , a gun-rights group that grew by several thousand members over the course of a few months after Democrats ran a pro-gun-control campaign in November and won .

After months of contentious arguments on the grounds of the Virginia State Capitol, on city council daises and in campaign speeches, a slate of new state gun control laws took effect Wednesday.
The topic of gun control dominated the General Assembly’s most recent legislative session, with Democrats — newly in the majority in both chambers and armed with the support of fellow Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam — pushing through a slew of bills they said were necessary to stop violence caused by guns.
Democrat-led legislation had the backing of groups such as Moms Demand Action and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Republicans in the minority, meanwhile, voiced their opposition alongside the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a gun-rights group that grew by several thousand members over the course of a few months after Democrats ran a pro-gun-control campaign in November and won.
The central argument from elected Republicans and the VCDL was that bills limiting what someone could do with their gun — or how many they can buy — were unconstitutional. They also said bills aiming to put more control over guns wouldn’t stop incidents like the Virginia Beach mass shooting, where a former employee killed 12 people at a city municipal center in May 2019.
Philip Van Cleave, president of the VCDL, filed suit attempting to block two of the bills, with other lawsuits in the works, he told The Virginian-Pilot.
But the bills Democrats succeeded in passing became law Wednesday. Here’s a look at what they do:
One handgun a month
Formerly a Virginia law from 1993 to 2012, the one-handgun-a-month proposal was brought back to life this year by Hampton legislators Sen. Mamie Locke and Del. Jeion Ward. Under the bill, buying more than one handgun in a 30-day period is a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Certain people, including law enforcement officers, correctional officers, antique firearms dealers, private security companies and concealed handgun permit holders, are exempt from the purchase limitation. It doesn’t apply to private sales, either.
There’s also a way for someone to request special permission from the government to buy more than one per month if they go through an advanced background check with the Virginia State Police.
Supporters of the bill say it will cut down on people coming from out of state to purchase multiple guns, or buying them in bulk through illegal straw purchases.
The VCDL and several other gun-rights groups sued to temporarily block this bill from becoming law, but a Goochland Circuit Court judge ruled against the gun-rights groups Thursday, said the law went into effect on July 1.
Reporting lost or stolen guns
Within 48 hours of discovering their firearm has been lost or stolen, a person must report it to the police, and that information will be entered in the National Crime Information Center, which is maintained by the FBI. Failing to report it could carry a civil fine of $250. Anyone who reports a lost or stolen gun won’t be held liable in court for any harm done with the gun after they lost it.
Cities and counties can restrict guns
Pitched by Newport News Del. Cia Price, the bill allows city councils and boards of supervisors to ban guns in government buildings and areas such as public parks, recreation or community centers, or outdoor areas being used during permitted events. Notices must be posted everywhere that the locality deems firearms to be prohibited.
At least one locality in the region — Hampton — is already considering passing such an ordinance.
Opponents raised concerns about the piecemeal nature of the law, saying it didn’t make sense for it to be illegal to carry a gun in one jurisdiction but not the neighboring one.
Universal background checks
Anyone selling a gun — including through a private sale or at a gun show — must do a background check on the buyer. Any seller who doesn’t, and anyone who buys a gun without going through a background check, can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Opponents say they shouldn’t be required to do a background check if selling a gun to a family member or trusted friend, and the process will make it more expensive and difficult for firearm owners.
A lawsuit challenging the bill was filed June 22 in Lynchburg Circuit Court by the Virginia Citizens Defense League and five other plaintiffs alleges that the new law is “a grossly overreaching infringement on the right of Virginians to keep and bear arms”, the Associated Press reports.
‘Red flag’ law
After an investigation and at the request of a commonwealth’s attorney or a police officer who submits an affidavit, a judge or magistrate can issue a 14-day “emergency substantial risk order” and prohibit someone from having a gun if they find probable cause to believe that person is a danger to themselves or others if they have a gun.
Within 14 days, there’s a court hearing to determine if the order needs to be in place for longer. The subject of the order can ask for more time to prepare for the hearing, get a lawyer and go over any discovery while the emergency order remains in place.
At the hearing, the judge can issue a longer order — up to 180 days — if they find “clear and convincing evidence” the person is still dangerous with a gun. A commonwealth’s attorney or a police officer can also ask for the order to be extended for up to another 180 days, but that would require another hearing.
Supporters say the bill, known as a “red flag” order, helps prevent those in a mental health crisis from hurting themselves or others. Opponents are afraid it’ll be misused, and it unfairly takes guns away from people without proper due process when the person hasn’t committed a crime.
Other laws
Child care facilities designated as “family day homes” must lock any firearm in a safe or cabinet during hours of operation.
The penalty for recklessly leaving a loaded firearm around children under the age of 14 is increasing from a Class 3 misdemeanor, which carries only a $500 fine, to a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries jail time.
Trigger activators, designed to make semi-automatic firearms shoot more than one shot with the pull of the trigger, are banned as of July 1, and possessing or selling one is a felony.
Gun safes that cost $1,500 or less will be exempt from retail sales tax.
People who are served with permanent protective orders must surrender their guns within 24 hours.

President Trump offered a phone call of support to the family of Horace Lorenzo Anderson Jr., a teen killed in Seattle’s “CHOP” zone, the mourning relatives told Fox News Thursday.
Anderson was fatally shot in the early hours of June 20 at the edge of the roughly six-block autonomous zone known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest.
Trump phoned the family for a seven-minute call after watching Anderson’s father, also named Horace Lorenzo, during an emotional appearance on “Hannity” Wednesday night, his friend and family spokesman Andre Taylor, told Fox News.
“We just talked to the president of the United States,” Taylor said. “How are you going to top that?”
Taylor said the president offered condolences and kind words for the family.
“He said he watched ‘Hannity’ last night, and told Horace, ‘Your son is looking down on you and watching over you,’” Taylor recounted. “He was incredibly gracious, and it gave Horace some extra help as he buried his son.”
Anderson Sr. said 10 days had gone by before he heard from Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, who had called the family on Wednesday before Trump dialed in on his own. The family is still waiting on details around the teen’s death.
The tragedy was followed by a second fatal shooting near the zone on June 29 — when Antonio Mays Jr., 16, was gunned down. Two more victims were injured in the shootings, as well.
The gunfire finally moved Durkan on Wednesday to order police to disband the cop-free space that had formed more than two weeks ago in protest of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.
“Enough is enough,” Durkan said Wednesday. “The CHOP has become lawless and brutal. Four shootings — two fatal — robberies, assaults, violence and countless property crimes have occurred in this several block area. ”

H.R. 3239 was introduced June 12, 2019 by Democratic California Rep. Raul Ruiz, and passed the House in a 233 – 195 vote July 24. However, the bill was promptly tabled July 25 after introduced in the Senate.
The White House also opposed the bill, and the current border policy has galvanized the Democratic Party’s more progressive lawmakers and voters. (RELATED: Immigration Will Dramatically Shift The Electoral College In Favor Of Democrats, Study Finds)
In addition to these immigration bills, House Democrats are publicly calling for more radical changes. Among these is the call to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which was supported by several Democratic presidential candidates and a number of progressive Democrats.
Progressive Democrats like New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is part of “the squad,” has been open to ideas like giving illegal aliens welfare and even abolishing DHS entirely.
The policy goals and legislation put forth by the Democrats are an indication of how the party might govern with regards to immigration. If the Democrats win, an America in 2021 could see more unrestrained, mass legal and illegal immigration.

NFL plans to play Black national anthem before Week 1 games this season
NFL games in Week 1 may be starting a little differently this season.
According to ESPN, the league will have renditions of “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” traditionally known as the Black national anthem, played before “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the NFL’s regular season gets underway.
The NFL is also considering other ways to recognize the victims of police brutality during the upcoming season, which is slated to start on Sept. 10. Among those ideas is listing the names of victims on helmet decals or jersey patches, per ESPN.
The decision comes in the weeks after commissioner Roger Goodell admitted the league fumbled its handling of previous peaceful protesting done by players. The NFL has since committed $250 million to fight systemic racism over the next 10 years, and Goodell has urged teams to sign quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has been unable to land a contract since he knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality in 2016.

bonginoreport--2020-07-03--Fox Sports’ Marcellus Wiley Argues Against NBA Painting “Black Lives Matter” On Courts

' I do n't know how many people really look into the mission statement of Black Lives Matter , but @ @ @

ESPN reported this week that the NBA plans to paint "Black Lives Matter" on its courts when the season resumes, in reaction to players' insistence "that the fight for racial equality and social justice be a central part" of the league.
But Fox Sports 1's Marcellus Wiley says that is "not a good idea," and gave an impassioned speech on his show explaining why.
What are the details?
During a discussion on Wiley's "Speak for Yourself," he argued against the NBA's purported plan to paint "Black Lives Matter" on their courts, pointing to the organization's political goals as to his reasoning.
"There's a problem when you start to go down this road of freedom of expression, freedom of speech, and how much social space is allowed for those who don't support in that same space," Wiley argued. "And that's where I wonder where this is going to go in terms of identity politics. We know what identity politics does—it divides, and it polarizes. No matter how you want to look at it, that's just the effect of it no matter how great the intentions are. We all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Wiley read from BLM"s mission statement, voicing concern over the movement's declaration that they aim to "dismantle the patriarchal practice," and "disrupt the western-described nuclear family structure requirement."
The former NFL player and Ivy Leaguer explained:
When I know statistics, when I know my reality—forget statistics, I knew this before I went to Columbia [University] and saw these same statistics that I'm going to read to you right now.
Children from single parent homes versus two parent homes: The children from the single parent homes (this was in 1995 I was reading this) [are] five times more likely to commit suicide. Six times more likely to be in poverty. Nine times more likely to drop out of high school. Ten times more likely to abuse chemical substances. Fourteen times more likely to commit rape, 20 times more likely to end up in prison, and 32 times more likely to run away from home.
I knew that. You know why I knew it? Because a lot of my friends didn't have family structures that were nuclear like mine, and they found themselves outside of their dreams and goals and aspirations. So when I see that as a mission statement for Black Lives Matter, it makes me scratch my head.
When I also see their mission is to eradicate white supremacy. In 2020, white supremacy is the mission. Woo, that's a lot of digging through minutiae right there. I'm on a show that I'm hosting with another black guy who is hosting with me who replaced another black guy, and that's just one example of it. So, I understand, I respect your space, I respect what you're protesting for. But will you respect others who don't support that same protest?

Police did say that crime in the city overall has gone down 9 % through the end of June but did not provide overall crime data for June specifically .

Shootings and homicides in Chicago increased sharply in June compared to the same time last year.
Police data show that shootings in Chicago increased by 75% in June of 2020 compared to June 2019, and murders in the city rose by 78%, according to NBC 5 Chicago .
In June of this year, 424 people were shot, and 89 were murdered — compared to 242 shootings and 50 murders during the same month last year.
Last weekend alone, gun violence killed more than a dozen people, including three children. Twelve people were killed on Father’s Day weekend, including a 3-year-old.
The city plans to deploy 1,200 extra officers over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to WGN TV .
When asked about the rise in violence, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat, said it was a “complicated” question and suggested that gun control is the answer.
“That’s a complicated question,” Lightfoot said. “We have way too many guns on the streets.”
Lightfoot also suggested that the coronavirus shutdowns that kept people inside for months played a role in creating a “perfect storm” while also pointing out the death of George Floyd as an event that sparked anger in the community.

bonginoreport--2020-07-03--80% of Restaurants In NYC Couldn’t Pay Their June Rent

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday slammed the brakes on ...

Sign up for our special edition newsletter to get a daily update on the coronavirus pandemic.
A survey of New York City restaurants and pubs reveals the economic toll caused by the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, with 80 percent of establishments unable to pay their full June rent bill — and 36 percent paying no rent at all.
“Rent is putting enormous financial pressure on restaurants, bars and clubs after four near-fatal months of economic disaster in which many have already shuttered for good,” said Andrew Rigie, executive director of the NYC Hospitality Alliance.
Many restaurants closed during the peak of the pandemic in March through May.
Others offered takeout or pick-up service only as the state banned in-house dining to help curb the spread of COVID-19.
Many eateries began offering outdoor dining service last week after Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio gave the green light.
But there’s still a pause on offering indoor dining in the city because of concerns over a surge in COVID-19 cases in other states that allowed such gatherings as well as a failure of patrons and establishments to abide by social distancing and mask-wearing requirements.
The alliance surveyed 509 restaurants and bars.
Four of five survey respondents reported they did not pay full rent in June, and 36 percent of respondents said they paid no rent at all.
Of the portion of respondents who paid some of their rent, 90 percent paid half or less.
More worrisome, 73 percent of landlords — also under economic stress — refused to waive rent payments for their restaurants, bars and clubs in June, the poll found.
About 60 percent of landlords refused rent deferments and only 10 percent of restaurants, bars and clubs were able to renegotiate their leases.
The eateries are in a financial vice with the delay in offering indoor dining and outdoor dining only just getting off the ground, Rigie said. He called for elected officials to intervene as they have for residential tenants by banning evictions during the COVID-19 crisis.
“Our small businesses urgently need support on rent, so government officials, landlords and banks need to work together to find a solution. Whether it’s direct rent subsidies, deferring rent and extending payment schedules to the back end of lease agreements, and other creative ideas, we are in the midst of a rent crisis and need action now,” Rigie said.
“We’re eager to work with lawmakers and industry leaders on any tangible plans that provide immediate relief to struggling restaurants and nightlife venues across the city before it’s too late.”

(Reuters) - COVID-19 vaccine candidates will enter late-stage clinical studies by the end of the month, with others beginning in August, September and October, the U.S. government’s top infectious diseases expert said on Thursday.
The news comes as Moderna Inc MRNA.O, which is at the forefront of the country's vaccine development efforts, reiterated earlier in the day that a late-stage trial with 30,000 volunteers would begin this month.
“We may be able to at least know whether we are dealing with a safe and effective vaccine by the early winter, late winter, (or) beginning of 2021,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview to JAMA Network.
Earlier on Thursday, Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, said the Trump administration’s vaccine-acceleration program could generate a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine by year-end.
