The state House of Delegates overwhelmingly approved legislation Monday that would repeal municipal gun laws. Supporters said the measure makes gun laws fair and uniform across the state while protecting Second Amendment rights. Opponents, greatly outnumbered, argued the bill takes control away from Charleston and other municipal governments and would make streets more dangerous. Delegates approved House Bill 2760 by a vote of 94-4. Two members were absent. The bill adds language to the section of state law that deals with county and other municipal governments. The section aims to give the Legislature complete control over gun laws, preempting city laws like the one in Charleston that limits the purchase of handguns. The grandfather clause worked for us; why are you taking it out? Were...
Marylands House of Delegates on Wednesday passed a package of gun restrictions making its laws among the toughest in the country and reinforcing what analysts say is a trend toward states with strict gun regulations passing laws making them stricter. The state joins California, Colorado and New York in adopting significant measures to regulate guns this year, even as Connecticut considers harsh new weapons restrictions of its own in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting in December.
WASHINGTON An assault weapons ban wont be in the gun-control legislation that Democrats bring to the Senate floor next month, a decision that means the bans chances of survival now are all but hopeless. The ban is the most controversial firearms restriction that President Barack Obama and other Democrats have pressed for since an assault-type weapon was used in the December massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Rejection by Congress would be a major victory for the National Rifle Association and its supporters and a setback for Obama and the provisions sponsor, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

NEW YORK -- Cerberus Capital Management, the New York-based investment firm that owns the largest U.S. gunmaker, will put the company up for sale, acting four days after one of its rifles was used in the Connecticut school shootings that left 26 people dead, including 20 six- and seven- year-olds. Cerberus said it will seek to sell Freedom Group Inc. just hours after California Treasurer Bill Lockyer said he'll propose that the state's public pension funds, the two largest in the United States, divest investments in firearm manufacturers that make guns prohibited under state law. The firm's announcement followed a day in which the White House reiterated President Barack Obama's support for a new ban on assault weapons and lawmakers called for stricter gun-control laws.
Mayors in Los Angeles, Lancaster and a number of other Southern California cities on Wednesday joined in support of President Barack Obama's call for Congress to adopt the most sweeping gun control measures in more than 20 years, including increased background checks and bans on assault weapons and large ammunition clips. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a member of the national Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign, met with a group of students from around the region who support tougher gun control laws.
DURING the California Legislature's end-of-session scramble, most news coverage focused on the sadly diluted pension-reform bill. But that was only one of dozens of bills lawmakers passed and sent to Jerry Brown to be signed or vetoed. They include proposed laws pertaining to parenthood, guns, the movie industry and illegal immigrants. Here are a few - some good and some bad - on which the governor's decisions will be especially important.
