gun control

President Biden declared gun violence a public health crisis and a blemish on the nation in remarks at the White House Rose Garden on Thursday.

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is facing 10 counts of murder in the first degree and one count of attempted murder over the horrific attack at a King Soopers supermarket.

After 10 people were killed at a grocery store in Boulder, Colo., state Democrats say they're considering joining seven other states and D.C. by banning "assault-style" weapons.

Survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, and family members of victims, joined Wednesday with half a dozen members of Congress from South Florida, Georgia and Colorado to mourn the victims of the nation’s two most recent mass shootings — and renew their push for gun safety legislation.

The president said the upper chamber needs to pass legislation approved by the House earlier this month, which would tighten gun laws including background checks.

With Democrats in full control of Congress, lawmakers hope that the legislation will find more support. Efforts to pass tougher gun control laws have repeatedly failed despite recent mass shootings.

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is introducing a measure that would require background checks for all gun sales.

Concealed weapons license holders can carry their guns nearly anywhere in Florida --except schools. This holds true for private schools that share grounds with a church. Florida Republicans say there’ve been too many attacks on religious organizations to allow that exemption to continue.

A controversial proposal to allow guns to be carried on public college and university campuses in Florida is back. The measure has failed several times in the past but the sponsor believes it’ll have a shot this year since Republicans gained seats in the Florida legislature. The usual opponents are standing their ground on the issue.
