Prez Biden Gun Crackdown Dead On Arrival As Many Kansas City Leaders Support Takeways

A reality check amid so much hyperbolic coverage, advocacy and chatter . . .

"If the murder of children is not enough for people to recognize that these conversations have to happen, then I'm very concerned."

As Biden and lawmakers debate, U.S. Supreme Court poised to expand gun rights

As President Joe Biden and Congress ponder how to respond to the latest U.S. mass shootings, the Supreme Court is due to decide a major case that could undermine new efforts to enact gun control measures while making existing ones vulnerable to legal attack.
