| TITUSVILLE, Fla. – An armed bystander shot a man who opened fired on a back-to-school event at a Titusville park after a fistfight, police said. The shooting occurred at Isaac Campbell Park on South Street shortly after 5:20 p.m. when the shooter, whom police have not identified, returned to the park after a fistfight and began firing, investigators said. |

|
| LITTLEFIELD, TX (KCBD)—Ruben Garcia Lopez, a 25-year-old Littlefield resident, has been arrested, charged with attempting to hijack a car and assaulting a woman and a police officer. |

| Guns for me, but not for thee. The National Rifle Association taunted gun control activist David Hogg and his group’s Saturday protest at its Fairfax, Virginia, headquarters by noting his security. “Today, @davidhogg111 (with armed security) and a bunch of gun-grabbing activists protested our empty HQ,” the gun-rights organization wrote on Twitter on Saturday night… |

|
| Anti-gunners descended upon the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) headquarters in Fairfax, Va. on Saturday for their ‘National March on the NRA’ event. Of course, in typical ironic fashion, David Hogg had to show up with armed security. Because it’s okay for him to be protected by guns but not the rest of us. |

|
| A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the constitutionality of two California laws restricting the ability of people to buy and carry firearms, rejecting appeals by gun rights advocates. |
|
|
| Gov. John Kasich wants Ohio lawmakers to pass his gun control proposals. In the meantime, Kasich declined to sign a bill that would allow veterans to skip concealed carry fees. |
|
|
| But those who oppose these weapons shouldn’t be celebrating. A government ban on publishing such blueprints is going to be difficult to sustain — and that’s probably as it should be. As one court put it in 2001: “Communication does not lose constitutional protection as ‘speech’ simply because it is expressed in the language of computer code.” |

|
| One of the most bizarre aspects of the modern gun debate is the extent to which it is still dominated by ignorance and misinformation. One of the most important controversies in American public life rages on, yet media gatekeepers and all too many politicians simply don’t know the most basic facts. |
|
|
| This week, a federal judge in Washington issued a temporary restraining order to stop the release of 3-D printable gun blueprints. Now US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) wants to ensure that ruling becomes permanent. |
|
|
| Under a proposal introduced Friday by Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch Englander, Angelenos could be barred from possessing or transferring the blueprints for a 3-D-printed gun, as well as the weapons themselves. Englander also wants L.A. to prod the state to make possessing such guns or blueprints a felony across California. |
|
|
| A Rhode Island state senator says she’ll try to get the state to ban 3D-printed plastic guns in the next legislative session. |
|
|
| “That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me,” reported heroic law-enforcement officer John McClane. “It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn’t show up on your airport metal detectors and probably costs more than what you make in a month.”A note for the gun-control gang: “Die Hard 2” wasn’t a documentary. |
