CORLETT: THE SUPREME COURT’S NEXT BIG GUN CASE On April 26, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to New York State’s concealed carry laws.

A ruling could affect similar laws in six other states, including California DAILY BULLETIN: ‘NO TIME TO WASTE’: STIMULUS MONEY AS What To Know Today. Philadelphia leaders ask city to use federal stimulus funds to boost gun violence prevention budget. In his recent $5.2 billion budget proposal, funded in part by the federal outlay, Mayor Jim Kenney earmarked $34 million for anti-violence efforts amid a surge in violence that has hit the city especially hard. A RUNNING LIST OF GUN ARRESTS TIED TO TO THE U.S. CAPITOL The January 6 insurrection wasn’t explicitly billed as a Second Amendment event. But the specter of guns was everywhere: on the flags flown by rioters, in the insurrectionist theory they espoused, and the tactical gear they donned. And in some cases, despite Washington, D.C.’s unusually strict gun laws, which require firearms to be registered with local police, the Trump supporters who MASS SHOOTINGS ARE SOARING, WITH BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS HIT Mass Shootings Are Soaring, With Black Neighborhoods Hit Hardest. 2020 is on pace to have the most mass shootings since the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive started tracking them.

WHEN PROTESTORS CARRY GUNS, DOES IT IMPEDE OTHERS' FREE In late January, thousands of pro-gun activists descended on Richmond, Virginia, to protest a package of gun reform bills advancing through the state General Assembly.
