Since Sandy Hook approximately three years ago, there have been hundreds of mass shootings. After each, there is an outcry for increasing the scope of federal law to require the more extensive and inclusive use of background checks. But, after each horrific event, Congress does nothing, and we brace ourselves for the next senseless killing. |

We’re nearing the conclusion of a year that’s seen roughly one mass shooting per day in the United States, and all kinds of theories have been dragged out to explain their frequency. It’s the precarious state of mental-health treatment. It’s the violence of video games, television, and movies. It’s the huge number of guns – something like 300 million – floating around. It’s gun shows and lax regulations. |

Several pieces of anti-Second Amendment legislation have been filed in “conservative” South Carolina in advance of the 2016 session of the S.C. General Assembly.
Among them? A controversial assault weapons ban sponsored in the S.C. House by Democrat Wendell Gilliard (H. 4440) – and in the State Senate by Marlon Kimpson (S. 939). Both of those bills seek to reprise the federal government’s failed assault weapons ban – which expired in 2004. |

Over the years police have confiscated hundreds of guns from criminals. Now those guns could soon be headed to a gun shop near you.
The idea is to let police departments use those weapons or make a little money off of them by selling them. But not everyone thinks letting those guns back out on the streets is a good idea. |

At least two intruders entered 83-year-old Harry Wells’ Houston home on Monday night ready to fill up a car with his Christmas gifts, including a flat screen TV, rifle and mounted deer head, investigators said.
The suspects nearly wound up filled with lead.
One of Wells’ neighbors surprised the crooks and fired five shots – enough to scare them off without anything to show for their Grinch-like behavior, KHOU reported.
The burglars nearly left on Monday in Wells’ car. That’s where they were stuffing their bounty when they were confronted by the neighborhood Good Samaritan. In their haste to flee, the thieves hit another neighbors’ car.

In the fall, Missourians have a chance to save some money on school supplies during the tax-free weekend. Now, a Nixa lawmaker wants to create another tax holiday, but it has nothing to do with pencils and computers.
If Missouri Representative Jered Taylor is successful in creating a tax holiday for firearms (House Bill 1901), the Saturday after the Fourth of July would be a chance for shoppers to save money on a new gun. Taylor says he prefiled the bill to make it a little cheaper for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves.

In November 2013, two days before Thanksgiving, something exploded in the adjoining backyards of two homes in rural Flippin, Arkansas and an eight-year-old girl named Debra Rackley was rushed to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock by helicopter. Her two shoes lay strewn across the grass where they were blown off her feet, a police officer noted in his report. Debra’s mother, Dana, says she was working at the assisted living home nearby. Her father, Robert, was also working at the Butterball turkey packing plant finishing last minute orders for the holiday.

A protest and march is planned for Christmas Eve, aiming to disrupt shopping on Michigan Avenue while calling for changes at City Hall.
Protesters are urging people to shop elsewhere as they try to get Mayor Rahm Emanuel's attention and ultimately force him to resign. Protesters held a "die-in" Tuesday night outside the office of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, then they left City Hall and marched downtown.
