arts now," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid acknowledged after
Thursday's vote.He assured Democrats that a proposal to renew the assault
weapons ban and a ban on high-capacity magazines would get a vote
as an amendment, though it was dropped from the main bill amid
intense opposition.The main bill also includes a measure to increase school
safety funding.Reid lost two Democrats in Thursday's vote -- Sen. Mark Pryor,
D-Ark., and Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, both lawmakers from states with
a strong tradition of gun ownership.More than a dozen Republican senators
for days had threatened to hold up the bill Thursday. They voiced
concern that the proposal -- namely, the background checks provision --
would infringe on Second Amendment rights and impose a burden on law-abiding
gun owners. They also expressed frustration that, while Manchin and Toomey
touted their compromise measure, the bill on the table Thursday did not
yet include that. Rather, it included a stricter background checks provision."Because
the background-check measure is the centerpiece of this legislation it is
critical that we know what is in the bill before we vote
on it," Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Ted Cruz, R-Texas; and Mike Lee,
R-Utah, said in a statement. "The American people expect more and deserve
better."Thursday's vote follows an intense week of lobbying by gun control
advocates, including the families of the victims of the December mass shooting
at Sandy Hook Element
n met with relatives of the Newtown victims
in his Senate office, telling them that "this will not be in
vain." He became choked up when a reporter asked about the impact
of the family members' visit, saying, "I'm a parent, a grandparent ...
and I had to do something."Said Toomey: "Criminals and the dangerously mentally
ill shouldn't have guns. I don't know anyone who disagrees with that
premise." He said that expanding the checks wasn't gun control, "just common
sense."The agreement makes it all but certain that the Senate will reject
a conservative blockade and vote Thursday to begin debating Democrats' gun
legislation. Besides broader background check requirements, the bill would
also toughen laws against illicit firearms sales and provide a small increase
in school security aid.Underscoring that the fight was far from over, NRA
spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the organization opposes the Manchin-Toomey
accord. The group, which has fought most of Obama's gun proposals and
claims nearly 5 million members, said the focus should be on improving
the nation's mental health system and sources of violence like gangs."Expanding
background checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will
not solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in
schools," the NRA said.On a day when first lady Michelle Obama was
visiting a violence-plagued high school in Chicago, the Obamas' hometown,
the NRA said, "President Obama should be as c

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> Some Texas applicants for welfare would be subjected to drug testing and
would be permanently cut off if they fail three times under a
bill passed Wednesday by the state Senate.The bill covers Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families program applicants. The program, which provides poor
people with money for food, clothing, housing and other basic needs, distributes
about $90 million to more than 100,000 Texans annually. The amount of
the payment depends on family size and income."Taxpayer money should not
be used to subsidize someone's drug habit," bill sponsor Sen. Jane Nelson,
R-Flower Mound, said before the bill sailed through on a 31-0 vote
that sent it to the House.The program already requires adult TANF applicants
to sign a pledge not to sell or use drugs. Nelson's bill
would move Texas in line with seven other states that require testing.
It would not cover other welfare programs such as food stamps or
other state benefit programs.Not all applicants would be tested, but all
would be required to undergo a screening assessment, likely a questionnaire,
to determine their risk of drug use. Anyone with a previous felony
drug conviction or failed drug test or who is otherwise deemed a
high risk for drug use would be tested.Applicants who test positive would
be barred from collecting benefits for 12 months. They could reapply in
six months if they complete a substance abuse program. Three failed drug
tests would result in a permanent ban
LOS ANGELES A man who sawed his arms to the bone
in a Southern California Home Depot store remains hospitalized in critical
condition.West Covina police Cpl. Rudy Lopez says the man remains in intensive
care Thursday but he isn't speaking to investigators and the motive for
his actions remains a mystery.Police say the man grabbed several small saws,
including one meant to cut drywall, and attacked himself Wednesday in a
store east of Los Angeles.An off-duty Pasadena Fire Department paramedic,
Capt. Art Hurtado, used rope and cloths from the shelves to make
a tourniquet to stop the massive bleeding before West Covina paramedics
arrived to take over.Hurtado, who's been a firefighter for 21 years, says
he considers himself always on duty and this was just another day's
work.
