The first proposed change is to federal regulation to require background checks and law enforcement approval before firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act or “NFA” (...

Are schools and colleges dangerous places, with lots of gun violence? Some groups paint a picture of these places being particularly unsafe.

Two Anniversaries Gun Control Supporters Aren't Celebrating
