His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>The Oakland Athletics’ move to Las Vegas was unanimously approved Thursday by Major League Baseball team owners, cementing the sport’s first relocation since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News circulating around the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11949532/oakland-as-signal-move-to-las-vegas-strip-after-reaching-an-agreement-for-potential-stadium-site\">potential move to Las Vegas\u003c/a> has been a point of contention for A’s fans for months. The A’s will be the second team Oakland has lost to Las Vegas in recent years, following the Raiders football team’s move in 2020. Several fans expressed their disappointment with the A’s leadership over the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congresswoman Barbara Lee responded to the news of the A’s relocation by vowing to continue working to hold the MLB and its owners accountable for “prioritizing their pockets over the communities that have supported them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s incredibly disappointing, but not surprising that a group of billionaire owners supported another billionaire owner’s efforts to line his own pockets at the expense of a passionate community and fan base,” said Lee in a statement. “The East Bay does not deserve to lose its last professional sports team. It’s shameful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elizabeth Ruman has been an A’s fan since she moved to Oakland over a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland’s the heart of the Oakland A’s, and I don’t think anybody will forget that. It’s like that sad feeling you get like from a divorce, like they’re really gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another fan, Shannon Baker, says she’s been a fan for years and enjoys taking her kids, adding, “I want to say good riddance, but at the same time, I’m still a fan, I still like going, we go to a lot of games … but at the same time I do kinda still hope they stay as long as they’re able to,” said Baker. “It just feels like it’s all business, all money and not necessarily always looking out for the fans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re die-hard A’s fans out in Oakland, don’t leave us, baby,” said Jesse Wolfson-Pou, who’s been a fan his whole life. “We used to have three teams in Oakland: we had the Warriors, the A’s and the Raiders, and now we’ll have none. I love going to the A’s games, they’re not too expensive, they’re fun. I’m not a fan of the move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 75% vote of the 30 teams was necessary for approval of A’s owner John Fisher’s plan, which was endorsed by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Rep. Barbara Lee (D-12th District)\"]‘The East Bay does not deserve to lose its last professional sports team. It’s shameful.’[/pullquote]“There was an effort over more than a decade to find a stadium solution in Oakland,” Manfred said Thursday. “It was John Fisher’s preference. It was my preference. … It didn’t happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of complaints about the Oakland Coliseum and an inability to negotiate government assistance for a new ballpark in the Bay area, the A’s plan to move to a stadium to be built on the Las Vegas Strip with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/las-vegas-oakland-athletics-governor-signing-f190c44133bbcee47a15278135b6088f\">$380 million in public financing\u003c/a> approved by the Nevada government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Incredibly difficult day,” Fisher said. “We gave every effort, did everything we could to find a solution there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Jorge Leon, president of the Oakland 68s, an independent supporters group, the A’s move isn’t final yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A’s owner, John Fisher, still needs to come up with the money/financing plan, the Federal Aviation Administration could veto the selected stadium location because it’s next to the airport, and at least part of the state of Nevada’s contribution would be jeopardized if a ballot measure being pushed by the Nevada teachers’ union passes in November 2024,” said Leon. “That effort received a minor setback in court this week, but it’s far from over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Athletics’ lease at the Coliseum runs through 2024, and they will remain next season at the outdated and run-down stadium where they have played since moving to California in 1968. It remains unclear where the team will play after that until a new ballpark opens, which Fisher said will be in 2028.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Vegas will become the franchise’s fourth city, the most for an MLB team. The A’s played in Philadelphia from 1901–54, then moved to Kansas City for 13 seasons before going to California. The new stadium will be the team’s fifth after Columbia Park (1901–08), Shibe Park (1909–54), Memorial Stadium (1955–67) and the Coliseum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11952845,news_11947286,news_11949532\" label=\"Related Stories\"]Since the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1972, the only other team to relocate was the Montreal Expos, who became the Washington Nationals in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s in 2006 proposed a ballpark in Fremont, about 25 miles south in the East Bay, but abandoned the plan three years later. San José, 40 miles south of Oakland, was proposed in 2012, but the San Francisco Giants blocked the site because it was part of that team’s territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the A’s chose a site in the Oakland area near Laney College, it was rejected by the college and its neighbors. The franchise then focused on the Howard Terminal area of Oakland, though a financing plan was never reached after some approvals were gained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/oakland-athletics-las-vegas-relocation-fans-fbc6836f0db2dadb0db0be78f5783f0b\">The team announced on April 19 that it had purchased land in Las Vegas\u003c/a>, then a month later replaced that location with a deal with Bally’s and Gaming & Leisure Properties to build a stadium on the Tropicana hotel site along the Las Vegas Strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevada’s Legislature and governor approved public financing for a $1.5 billion, 30,000-seat ballpark with a retractable roof near Allegiant Stadium, which the NFL’s Oakland Raiders moved to in 2020, and T-Mobile Arena, which the current Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights started playing in 2017 as an expansion team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland finished an MLB-worst 50–112 this season and was again last in the majors in average attendance at 10,276 per game. That was well below the league-wide average of 29,283 but up from the previous two years, when the A’s were below 10,000 fans per game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While San Francisco/Oakland/San José is the 10th-largest television market in the U.S., Las Vegas is the 40th. Baseball Players Association head Tony Clark last month questioned whether the shift to a smaller city would put the team on a path of needed perpetual assistance under MLB’s revenue-sharing plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLB is able to control city changes because of the sport’s antitrust exemption, granted by a 1922 U.S. Supreme Court decision. In the last half-century, the NFL has seen moves by the Raiders (Oakland to Los Angeles, back to Oakland and then Las Vegas), the Colts (Baltimore to Indianapolis), the Cardinals (St. Louis to Phoenix), the Rams (Los Angeles to St. Louis and back to Los Angeles), the Oilers (Houston to Nashville) and the Chargers (San Diego to Los Angeles).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owners held their three-day meetings this week at a hotel adjacent to Globe Life Field, a retractable-roof stadium that opened in 2020. That is the site of next season’s MLB All-Star Game and the home of the Rangers, who, in their 52nd season in Texas this month, won their first World Series title.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manfred also announced Thursday that Atlanta will host the 2025 All-Star Game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, a\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/oakland-athletics-stadium-financing-las-vegas-4835af30f22d9d1cd7b8582ade074ef6\"> Nevada judge threw out a proposed ballot referendum backed by a statewide teachers union\u003c/a> that would have given voters the final say on whether to provide public funding for the proposed Vegas stadium for the A’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools Over Stadiums spokesperson Alexander Marks said the organization’s leadership will likely both appeal the decision to the Nevada Supreme Court and refile the referendum petition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Juan Carlos Lara and Rachael Myrow contributed reporting to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It was my preference. … It didn’t happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of complaints about the Oakland Coliseum and an inability to negotiate government assistance for a new ballpark in the Bay area, the A’s plan to move to a stadium to be built on the Las Vegas Strip with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/las-vegas-oakland-athletics-governor-signing-f190c44133bbcee47a15278135b6088f\">$380 million in public financing\u003c/a> approved by the Nevada government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Incredibly difficult day,” Fisher said. “We gave every effort, did everything we could to find a solution there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Jorge Leon, president of the Oakland 68s, an independent supporters group, the A’s move isn’t final yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A’s owner, John Fisher, still needs to come up with the money/financing plan, the Federal Aviation Administration could veto the selected stadium location because it’s next to the airport, and at least part of the state of Nevada’s contribution would be jeopardized if a ballot measure being pushed by the Nevada teachers’ union passes in November 2024,” said Leon. “That effort received a minor setback in court this week, but it’s far from over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Athletics’ lease at the Coliseum runs through 2024, and they will remain next season at the outdated and run-down stadium where they have played since moving to California in 1968. It remains unclear where the team will play after that until a new ballpark opens, which Fisher said will be in 2028.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Las Vegas will become the franchise’s fourth city, the most for an MLB team. The A’s played in Philadelphia from 1901–54, then moved to Kansas City for 13 seasons before going to California. The new stadium will be the team’s fifth after Columbia Park (1901–08), Shibe Park (1909–54), Memorial Stadium (1955–67) and the Coliseum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’ve begun to interview his girlfriend. They’ve learned quite a bit about Stephen Paddock’s past and preparation, but there is still no explanation for why he damaged and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/06/what-we-know-about-california-victims-of-the-las-vegas-shooting/\">destroyed so many lives\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Russell is a retired wildlife biologist who lives in the same neighborhood where the Las Vegas shooter lived, in the sunny retirement community of Sun City Mesquite. That the carnage on Sunday night was carried out by someone living there was a shock, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a quiet neighborhood,” Russell said on Monday, as he walked among palm trees, cacti and houses of stucco and tile. “All of them up here in Sun City are quiet. People are too old to make any commotion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the first surprise for investigators: that a 64-year-old man, an apparently wealthy retiree, a former postal worker, IRS agent and government auditor, would commit mass murder. He doesn’t fit the mass shooter profile.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘That he did what he did, it just doesn’t compute.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Eric Paddock,\u003cbr>\nbrother of Stephen Paddock\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Others in Mesquite spotted Paddock playing cards and video poker in the local casinos, betting and winning big, stopping in at the community center or picking up coffee at Starbucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His younger brother also said he was puzzled by the rampage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was a guy who took his little brother camping,” Eric Paddock told reporter Amy Green at NPR station WMFE in Orlando. “He was a guy who loved his women. He was a guy who played video poker. He was a guy who worked his ass off and made my family — helped make my family and my mother affluent. He was a guy who, you know, was nice to my kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That he did what he did, it just doesn’t compute,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter made millions in investments in real estate, according to public records in California, Nevada, Texas and Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”nm3p2pryMsUt8qckniJIBFMlpUY3yDWg”]And he loved gambling and guns. Paddock had elite status at bigger casinos in Las Vegas, according to industry sources who insisted on anonymity to protect their jobs. Police say he bought dozens of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition and explosives typically used for target shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three times earlier this year, he drove the 40 miles from Mesquite to St. George, Utah, to Dixie GunWorx, where gun seller Chris Michel found him more engaging than most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He came in and everything he wore, his demeanor, the person that he was, the openness, with his personality,” said Michel. “He was the guy next door that would, you know, mow people’s lawns for you. He would be the guy handing out ice cream cones on the corner when the bus comes to a stop to the kids. He would be the one that all of us would have taken to the family barbecue and invited. He just, he was an open guy to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paddock easily passed the background checks he needed to buy a shotgun from Michel and other weapons from other dealers. So far, police have revealed no evidence of illegal possession of firearms. Some neighbors in Nevada, Texas and Florida who have spoken with reporters simply say Paddock and his girlfriend kept to themselves, and didn’t do anything alarming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was very trusting to complete strangers,” said Sharon Judy, who lived next door to the home Paddock owned in Melbourne, Florida. She says he handed her a key, asking her to keep an eye on the house and borrow any tools she might be able to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really scary to think this is a guy next door,” she told NPR’s Pam Fessler. “Perfectly normal. On nobody’s radar. Nobody’s reason to think anything of any of it. And then all of a sudden he goes out and does something like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are similarly puzzled. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the shooting and the evidence gathered so far show meticulous planning by a disturbed and dangerous man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">VIDEO: provides an update, including a detailed timeline of the incident that occurred on Oct 1. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/wo8LVCxkjX\">https://t.co/wo8LVCxkjX\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— LVMPD (@LVMPD) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LVMPD/status/915769732287971328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Paddock used Airbnb to rent a condo in a downtown Las Vegas high-rise \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555925722/shooter-may-have-considered-other-targets-in-chicago-and-las-vegas\">during a different music festival the weekend before\u003c/a> he fired upon the Route 91 Harvest Festival. And someone named Stephen Paddock booked a room at a Chicago hotel overlooking Grant Park during Lollapalooza there in August, though the hotel says no one by that name actually stayed at the hotel then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two law enforcement officials tell NPR that an analysis of Paddock’s electronic devices show he researched hotels around Fenway Park and a site in downtown Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we know is Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo, and living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood,” Lombardo said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff speculated that the shooter may have had an accomplice: “You’ve got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, said she had no hints of the rampage. Her attorney, Matthew Lombard, read \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/us/statement-transcript-marilou-danley.html\">a statement\u003c/a> from Danley, which said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of, that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A little more than two weeks ago, Stephen told me he found a cheap ticket for me to the Philippines and that he wanted me to take a trip home to see my family. Like all Filipinos abroad, I was excited to go home and see family and friends. While there, he wired me money, which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. I was grateful, but honestly, I was worried that first, the unexpected trip home, and then the money, was a way of breaking up with me. It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This apparent silence, the secret life, also defies another characteristic of mass shooters, says Dr. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist at the University of California San Diego Medical School. Meloy’s research shows that some kind of grievance — big or small — can be a triggering event.

They’ve begun to interview his girlfriend. They’ve learned quite a bit about Stephen Paddock’s past and preparation, but there is still no explanation for why he damaged and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/06/what-we-know-about-california-victims-of-the-las-vegas-shooting/\">destroyed so many lives\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Russell is a retired wildlife biologist who lives in the same neighborhood where the Las Vegas shooter lived, in the sunny retirement community of Sun City Mesquite. That the carnage on Sunday night was carried out by someone living there was a shock, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a quiet neighborhood,” Russell said on Monday, as he walked among palm trees, cacti and houses of stucco and tile. “All of them up here in Sun City are quiet. People are too old to make any commotion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the first surprise for investigators: that a 64-year-old man, an apparently wealthy retiree, a former postal worker, IRS agent and government auditor, would commit mass murder. He doesn’t fit the mass shooter profile.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘That he did what he did, it just doesn’t compute.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Eric Paddock,\u003cbr>\nbrother of Stephen Paddock\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Others in Mesquite spotted Paddock playing cards and video poker in the local casinos, betting and winning big, stopping in at the community center or picking up coffee at Starbucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He was a guy who played video poker. He was a guy who worked his ass off and made my family — helped make my family and my mother affluent. He was a guy who, you know, was nice to my kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That he did what he did, it just doesn’t compute,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter made millions in investments in real estate, according to public records in California, Nevada, Texas and Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>And he loved gambling and guns. Paddock had elite status at bigger casinos in Las Vegas, according to industry sources who insisted on anonymity to protect their jobs. Police say he bought dozens of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition and explosives typically used for target shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three times earlier this year, he drove the 40 miles from Mesquite to St. George, Utah, to Dixie GunWorx, where gun seller Chris Michel found him more engaging than most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He came in and everything he wore, his demeanor, the person that he was, the openness, with his personality,” said Michel. “He was the guy next door that would, you know, mow people’s lawns for you. He would be the guy handing out ice cream cones on the corner when the bus comes to a stop to the kids. He would be the one that all of us would have taken to the family barbecue and invited. He just, he was an open guy to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paddock easily passed the background checks he needed to buy a shotgun from Michel and other weapons from other dealers. So far, police have revealed no evidence of illegal possession of firearms. Some neighbors in Nevada, Texas and Florida who have spoken with reporters simply say Paddock and his girlfriend kept to themselves, and didn’t do anything alarming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was very trusting to complete strangers,” said Sharon Judy, who lived next door to the home Paddock owned in Melbourne, Florida. She says he handed her a key, asking her to keep an eye on the house and borrow any tools she might be able to use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really scary to think this is a guy next door,” she told NPR’s Pam Fessler. “Perfectly normal. On nobody’s radar. Nobody’s reason to think anything of any of it. And then all of a sudden he goes out and does something like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are similarly puzzled. Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the shooting and the evidence gathered so far show meticulous planning by a disturbed and dangerous man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">VIDEO: provides an update, including a detailed timeline of the incident that occurred on Oct 1. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/wo8LVCxkjX\">https://t.co/wo8LVCxkjX\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— LVMPD (@LVMPD) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LVMPD/status/915769732287971328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Paddock used Airbnb to rent a condo in a downtown Las Vegas high-rise \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/05/555925722/shooter-may-have-considered-other-targets-in-chicago-and-las-vegas\">during a different music festival the weekend before\u003c/a> he fired upon the Route 91 Harvest Festival. And someone named Stephen Paddock booked a room at a Chicago hotel overlooking Grant Park during Lollapalooza there in August, though the hotel says no one by that name actually stayed at the hotel then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two law enforcement officials tell NPR that an analysis of Paddock’s electronic devices show he researched hotels around Fenway Park and a site in downtown Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we know is Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo, and living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood,” Lombardo said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff speculated that the shooter may have had an accomplice: “You’ve got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, said she had no hints of the rampage. Her attorney, Matthew Lombard, read \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/us/statement-transcript-marilou-danley.html\">a statement\u003c/a> from Danley, which said in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him. He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of, that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A little more than two weeks ago, Stephen told me he found a cheap ticket for me to the Philippines and that he wanted me to take a trip home to see my family. Like all Filipinos abroad, I was excited to go home and see family and friends. While there, he wired me money, which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. I was grateful, but honestly, I was worried that first, the unexpected trip home, and then the money, was a way of breaking up with me. It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This apparent silence, the secret life, also defies another characteristic of mass shooters, says Dr. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist at the University of California San Diego Medical School. Meloy’s research shows that some kind of grievance — big or small — can be a triggering event. The grievance can spiral into planning and preparing some kind of response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s of course the mystery in this particular case is that there doesn’t yet seem to be any grievance that’s surfaced,” says Meloy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secretive planning and preparing for the response can end up overshadowing the grievance as it becomes its own motivation. And Meloy says research shows that mass shooters often fuel their excitement by telling somebody something of their plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A number of studies have found that a majority of these individuals that carry out mass murders will communicate their intent to a third party before they do it,” he says. “There is at least one person that knows the path that this individual is on. There does not seem to be any evidence of that yet in this case, which would be an anomaly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an assessment shared by the sheriff on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything that would indicate this individual’s trigger point and that would cause him to do such harm — we haven’t understood it yet,” said Lombardo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four days after the shooter carried out his meticulous plan, investigators have learned some things about Stephen Paddock.

That certainly hasn’t helped there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to Chicago to suggest that gun laws don’t work is not a new talking point — Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2016/nov/03/donald-trump/trump-no-marksman-when-aiming-chicago-gun-laws/\">claimed\u003c/a> Chicago had “the toughest gun laws in the United States” in a 2016 presidential debate; his fellow Republican candidate Chris Christie \u003ca href=\"http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Chris_Christie_Gun_Control.htm\">likewise pointed to Chicago\u003c/a> as a place with high crime despite tight gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”n44byCsO2zR5ykRwe4wwNb8npsPBdV59″]And the rhetoric goes beyond politicians.

It also packs the added rhetorical punch of being closely linked to President Barack Obama, whose actions Trump has worked hard to undo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while gun violence in Chicago is high, the rest of this common talking point doesn’t really hold water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High crime and tough gun laws\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that there were \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/07/508722463/gun-deaths-in-chicago-why-is-this-happening\">more than 4,000 shooting victims\u003c/a> in Chicago in 2016. It’s also true that Chicago has suffered a massive amount of gun crime recently. In 2016, homicides in Chicago sharply rose, mostly as a result of gun homicides, as the University of Chicago crime lab \u003ca href=\"https://urbanlabs.uchicago.edu/attachments/store/2435a5d4658e2ca19f4f225b810ce0dbdb9231cbdb8d702e784087469ee3/UChicagoCrimeLab+Gun+Violence+in+Chicago+2016.pdf\">found in a January report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun homicides in the city rose by 61 percent between 2015 and 2016. That helped make the gun homicide rate in Chicago particularly huge compared with similar cities. The rate was 25.1 per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared with 14.7 in Philadelphia and just 2.3 in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also had a relatively high number of guns recovered — 243 per 100,000 residents. That’s roughly on par with Philadelphia and much higher than Los Angeles or New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not true that Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country, as other \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2017/oct/03/sarah-huckabee-sanders/chicago-toughest-gun-control-claim-shot-full-holes/\">fact-checkers\u003c/a> have also repeatedly found.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Hannah Shearer,\u003cbr>\nStaff Attorney, Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It \u003cem>is\u003c/em> true that Illinois has tougher gun laws than many other states. The state is one of seven that requires licenses or permits to buy any firearm, and it’s one of five that requires waiting periods for buying any firearm. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which tracks gun laws nationwide, has given the state a B+ for its gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago itself has some tough laws — there is an assault-weapons ban in Cook County, for example. But it’s not true that Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country. At one point, it did have much tougher laws — it had banned handguns in the city limits, but a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/the-second-amendment/the-supreme-court-the-second-amendment/dc-v-heller/\">2008 Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> declared that ban unconstitutional, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/28/us.scotus.handgun.ban/index.html\">2010 ruling\u003c/a> reaffirmed that. The city also had a gun registry program since 1968, but ended it in 2013 when the state \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/us/chicago-city-council-reluctantly-ends-gun-registry.html\">passed a law allowing\u003c/a> the concealed carry of weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country,” said Hannah Shearer, a staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “The whole state’s laws are pretty strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has given California an A rating and ranks it No. 1 in terms of the tightness of its gun laws. California bans the open carry of guns and requires background checks on private firearm sales, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”fbtZCz27hHjdl0wrjDTklkv0ar01JfEi”]”Some cities go even beyond that,” Shearer added. “San Francisco has a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/child-consumer-safety/safe-storage/\">safe storage law\u003c/a>, requiring that guns kept in the home are kept locked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a regulation that Chicago, for example, does not have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quibbling over exactly what part of the U.S. is No. 1 in terms of gun-law strictness, however, isn’t the most compelling part of Sanders’ statement.

It also packs the added rhetorical punch of being closely linked to President Barack Obama, whose actions Trump has worked hard to undo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while gun violence in Chicago is high, the rest of this common talking point doesn’t really hold water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>High crime and tough gun laws\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true that there were \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/07/508722463/gun-deaths-in-chicago-why-is-this-happening\">more than 4,000 shooting victims\u003c/a> in Chicago in 2016. It’s also true that Chicago has suffered a massive amount of gun crime recently. In 2016, homicides in Chicago sharply rose, mostly as a result of gun homicides, as the University of Chicago crime lab \u003ca href=\"https://urbanlabs.uchicago.edu/attachments/store/2435a5d4658e2ca19f4f225b810ce0dbdb9231cbdb8d702e784087469ee3/UChicagoCrimeLab+Gun+Violence+in+Chicago+2016.pdf\">found in a January report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gun homicides in the city rose by 61 percent between 2015 and 2016. That helped make the gun homicide rate in Chicago particularly huge compared with similar cities. The rate was 25.1 per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared with 14.7 in Philadelphia and just 2.3 in New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also had a relatively high number of guns recovered — 243 per 100,000 residents. That’s roughly on par with Philadelphia and much higher than Los Angeles or New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not true that Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country, as other \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2017/oct/03/sarah-huckabee-sanders/chicago-toughest-gun-control-claim-shot-full-holes/\">fact-checkers\u003c/a> have also repeatedly found.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Hannah Shearer,\u003cbr>\nStaff Attorney, Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It \u003cem>is\u003c/em> true that Illinois has tougher gun laws than many other states. The state is one of seven that requires licenses or permits to buy any firearm, and it’s one of five that requires waiting periods for buying any firearm. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which tracks gun laws nationwide, has given the state a B+ for its gun laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago itself has some tough laws — there is an assault-weapons ban in Cook County, for example. But it’s not true that Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country. At one point, it did have much tougher laws — it had banned handguns in the city limits, but a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/the-second-amendment/the-supreme-court-the-second-amendment/dc-v-heller/\">2008 Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> declared that ban unconstitutional, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/28/us.scotus.handgun.ban/index.html\">2010 ruling\u003c/a> reaffirmed that. The city also had a gun registry program since 1968, but ended it in 2013 when the state \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/us/chicago-city-council-reluctantly-ends-gun-registry.html\">passed a law allowing\u003c/a> the concealed carry of weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We generally think of California as having the strongest gun laws in the country,” said Hannah Shearer, a staff attorney at the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “The whole state’s laws are pretty strong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has given California an A rating and ranks it No. 1 in terms of the tightness of its gun laws. California bans the open carry of guns and requires background checks on private firearm sales, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>”Some cities go even beyond that,” Shearer added. “San Francisco has a \u003ca href=\"http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/child-consumer-safety/safe-storage/\">safe storage law\u003c/a>, requiring that guns kept in the home are kept locked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a regulation that Chicago, for example, does not have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quibbling over exactly what part of the U.S. is No. 1 in terms of gun-law strictness, however, isn’t the most compelling part of Sanders’ statement. She also said that having gun regulations “certainly hasn’t helped” in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a much more controversial claim — and it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State lines don’t stop guns\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to remember here that Chicago is very close to two states that have relatively \u003cem>weak\u003c/em> gun laws: Wisconsin and Indiana.
