Extreme Risk law or "Red Flag" law in place. The rapper released a cryptic track called "Are You Awake" on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person. The video also includes an image of a newspaper clipping about Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated President John F. Kennedy, and another image of a victim shot with blood spraying from the body.

Illinois has some of the strongest gun laws in the nation. It ranks sixth in terms of gun safety laws, and ninth-lowest in terms of gun ownership. Also Read | Was the Highland Park shooter at July 4 parade a sniper The state has laws requiring background checks for all gun sales and an Extreme Risk law or "Red Flag" law in place. There are also laws to keep guns away from domestic abusers. The Firearm Owners Identification Card issued by the Illinois police ideally has to be renewed every 10 years, but it is often not followed through. The FOID permit is needed to own a firearm, and to purchase guns and ammunition. This law, however, does not require prior training before purchasing a gun. Illinois residents who want a concealed weapon carry permit must meet the FOID requirements and complete 16 hours of training successfully, including classroom and range instruction. Illinois also became the first midwestern state to ban ghost guns or untraceable weapons.

https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/browns-maven-features/watson-likely-to-see-field-in-2022 Report: Deshaun Watson Likely To See Field in 2022 Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland reported that quarterback Deshaun Watson is "likely" to see the field in some capacity in 2022. Quarterback Deshaun Watson's hearing with the NFL and judge Sue Robinson concluded on Thursday afternoon. Several interesting subplots emerged from the process, with many saying that things are trending in Watson's direction. The star quarterback and his team allegedly pushed for zero discipline from the league office. They suggested that an unprecedented punishment was unfair considering the league didn't exercise harsh discipline unto owners Dan Snyder and Robert Kraft, both of whom dealt with similar allegations. While zero discipline is highly unlikely, it appears that the punishment won't be as extreme as some initially thought. The NFL reportedly leaked they hoped for an indefinite suspension with the idea of making Watson and his team cave into a longer suspension. However, Watson held firm and could stand to gain from it. ESPN's Tony Grossi reported that he had two separate sources say that Watson would see the field in some capacity during the 2022 season. Grossi added that both sources maintained anonymity because they weren't authorized to share details on the hearing. While the discussions went on behind closed doors, information continued to trickle out. The league office supposedly admitted they are seeking an unprecedented suspension, but the NFLPA maintained that the discrepancy between the owners' punishment and Watson's is unacceptable. We seem to be trending towards a suspension between six and eight games. No one can predict Judge Robinson's decision, but the code of conduct specifically outlined this situation. If the league is unable to argue that a player's conduct was violent or with malicious intent, then the baseline for such allegations is six games. That would align with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and running back Ezekiel Elliot's suspensions earlier in the decade.

GUN CONTROL 2.0 New York passes revised handgun law after SCOTUS shot down last one The new law will require people trying to purchase a handgun license to hand over a list of social media accounts they have maintained over the last three years, so officials can verify their "character and conduct." According to the measure, applicants must prove they have "the essential character, temperament and judgment necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself and others." "Sometimes, they’re telegraphing their intent to cause harm to others," Hochul said at a news conference. Individuals applying for a license to carry a handgun will also be required to provide four character references and take 16 hours of gun safety training and two hours of shooting practice at a range. They will be subject to periodic background checks and will have to turn over social media accounts and contact information for adults living in their household.
