Biden signs landmark gun measure, says ‘lives will be saved’
President Joe Biden on Saturday signed the most sweeping gun violence bill in decades, a bipartisan compromise that seemed unimaginable until a recent series of mass shootings, including the massacre of 19 students and two teachers at a Texas elementary school . “Lives will be saved,” he said at the White House. Citing the families of shooting victims, the President said, “Their message to us was to do something. Well today, we did.” The House gave final approval on Friday, following Senate passage on Thursday , and Mr. Biden acted just before leaving Washington for two summits in Europe.

I had the chance. I didnt have the (guts). It would take a different person than me, I think, to really do it over and over, said McDonald, a 25-year-old American who won NCAA singles and doubles titles for UCLA in 2016. More players are starting to do it, but its not the right thing to do. Thats up for debate, much like the so-called “unwritten rules” in other sports that are fodder for discussion every so often and happens to be a subject of conversation in Paris right now, where underarm serves seem to be somewhat en vogue, like drop shots, on the red clay that can deaden a ball. … [Read more...] about French Open: Ivan Lendl’s OK With Underarm Serves, We Should Be, Too
