Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade.

They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

Researchers found that great tits are laying eggs earlier in the spring than they used to, keeping step with the earlier emergence of caterpillars.

STATEMENT This bill would clarify that “airsoft” guns constitute firearms and therefore are subject to this State’s strict laws regulating the sale, possession, and use of firearms. Airsoft guns are replica firearms used primarily for sporting and recreational purposes, including military games. They use compressed-air, gas, or spring or electric-operated pistons to shoot non-metallic pellets or balls. Because these guns shoot plastic rather than metal pellets, it is not clear under current law whether they are considered firearms similar to “BB” guns. Therefore, the bill revises the definition of a firearm by specifying that any air gun, spring gun, gun...

WAYNE Federal justice officials are backing a lawsuit by an Albanian Muslim group that claims the township discriminated against it by trying to take its property even as it sought to build a mosque in town. The U.S. Department of Justice said the township's actions against the Paterson-based Albanian Associated Fund bore the "classic trademarks'' of discrimination. In court papers, the government said there was reason to conclude the township tried to take the property for open space to stop members of the fund from building a mosque and community center in the township.

The war on illegal immigration was fought at the border Saturday, but it was not the Mexican border. It was Bergen County's. On the street that divides Dumont from Bergenfield, the aspirations of illegal immigrants seeking the American Dream and the frustrations of many Americans who seek to stop illegal immigration were vividly on display. On the Bergenfield side of Columbus Avenue, about 30 immigrant day laborers waited for employers to pick them up. On the Dumont side, about 20 North Jersey residents held American flags and signs noting: "It's illegal to hire illegal aliens."

In actuality, lawmakers have no problem with people owning guns for recreation like hunting and the various...

For Weirich's first three years as pastor, they prayed mostly over the trials of everyday life. "My sister Maria is sick," Weirich recalls a typical petition. Or, "I can't find a job." About five years ago, he says, things began to change. One man asked God to help his friend, who was locked in a house in Mexico until he could pay off the smugglers he had hired to take him to the...
