The Supreme Court said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry guns in public, a major expansion of gun rights. The justices’ 6-3 decision follows a series of recent mass shootings and is expected to ultimately allow more people to legally carry guns on the streets of the nation’s largest cities — including New York, Los Angeles and Boston — and elsewhere. About a quarter of the U.S. population lives in states expected to be affected by the ruling, the high court’s first major gun decision in more than a decade. The ruling comes as Congress is actively working on gun legislation following recent mass shootings in Texas, New York and California.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 29 HONOLULU (AP) — Megan Kau takes occasional weeklong hunting trips to the Hawaiian island of Lanai, where she enjoys watching the sunrise and hearing the distant rustle of deer and mouflon sheep in the tropical wilderness, a rifle ready at her side. As a gun owner, she also goes to shooting ranges several times a year. Those outings are the only times the attorney and Oahu native sees others with guns in this tourist mecca where strict laws make it harder to purchase firearms and restrict carrying loaded guns in public. Thursday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning New York's concealed weapon law will likely change things in Hawaii, too, where it's now highly unusual to see people carrying loaded weapons in public. Some … [Read more...] about Guns in paradise: Ruling could undo strict Hawaii carry law

United States President Joe Biden on Saturday signed into law the first significant federal bill on gun safety in decades, saying while it falls short of what’s really needed it will “save lives”. “While this bill doesn’t do everything I want, it does include actions I’ve long called for that are going to save lives,” he said at the White House before leaving for two major diplomatic summits in Europe. The gun legislation includes enhanced background checks for younger buyers and federal cash for states introducing “red flag” laws that allow courts to temporarily remove weapons from those considered a threat. Billions of dollars have been allocated to crack down on “straw purchasers” who buy firearms for people not allowed to own them, and to curb gun trafficking. However, much tougher measures wanted by Biden and other Democrats did not make it in, including a ban on military style rifles often used by the lone gunmen who typically carry out mass shootings. Also absent is a … [Read more...] about ‘Falls Short But Will Save Lives’: US President Biden Signs First Significant Gun Control Law in Decades

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Don Lemon Tonight,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) claimed that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ruled that “there are no precedents that you can rely on,” and that the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and leaving the decisions on abortion laws to the legislature “is now a call to action to save the democracy. And you think the insurrection would be enough, but I think this is the tipping point today.” Grisham said, “This is not how you build a democracy. This is how you rip it apart. And for many women and their families, to have equal protections under the law and basically having Justice Thomas declare that everything now is — can be revisited, that there are no precedents that you can rely on, I think is a message to voters that this is not just a single issue anymore, not even a moral debate. The democracy, in fact, by virtue of the politicization of this and related issues is now a call to action to save the democracy. … [Read more...] about Grisham: Thomas Said There Are No Reliable Precedents, Leaving Abortion Laws to Legislature Is Call ‘to Save the Democracy’

A single bite from the Brazilian wandering spider has been shown to have side-effects including four-hour long erections. Now, researchers at the Medical College of Georgia in the US found that the toxins in the arachnid's venom contains a possible breakthrough for erectile dysfunction, the Daily Mail reported. The eight-legged creature -- also known as the armed spider, banana spider or Phoneutria nigriventer -- is found in South and Central America.
