This is the evening news reader miracle. It looks like any significant response to the Florida school massacre by the Trump administration or the Republican controlled Congress is all but dead. Last night President Trump met with top National Rifle Association officials the Group Executive Director Chris Cox tweeted afterwards that Trump and vice president Mike Pence support the 2nd Amendment support strong due process and don't want gun control then today White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that she believed Trump had arranged the N.R.A. Meeting she said Trump's thinking on guns had not changed since Wednesday but she said that at the moment Trump supports an incremental proposal from senators JOHN CORNYN And Chris Murphy It's the so-called fix NICS bill though Trump could possibly go beyond that she said Trump wanted to strengthen background checks but did not commit to universal background checks she also said that while Trump conceptually supports age limits to purchase certain weapons he also knows there's not a lot of broad support for that without a clear path forward for any legislation Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today shelved and a gun debate for now saying the Senate would turn next week to other measures McConnell had been preparing to push ahead with a proposal from CORNYN And Chris Murphy but even that measure faces Republican opposition in the House speaker Paul Ryan has shown no inclination to consider gun control legislation more from reporter Richard so Verman the White House appears to have backed away from the president's call for comprehensive gun legislation he made that call during a televised meeting with members of Congress on Wednesday the next day he met with representatives from the National Rifle Association whose top lobbyist says the president made assurances that his continued a Lightman with the N.R.A. Today the White House softened its tone with press secretary Sarah Sanders telling reporters the White House is still deliberating on what type of proposals that will support in the wake of the mass shooting at a high school in Florida 2 weeks ago Rachel Silverman. Public pressure against companies connected to the gun industry following last month's school shooting in Florida has hit and unlikely target R.E.I.

That is sitting came a few hours after our Canadian counterpart. Mountain Equipment Co-Op took a similar step but a Georgia sheriff's reported taken by the Associated Press today reveals that a teacher accused of firing a gun in his classroom had his guns taken away after setting his family car on fire 2 years ago the report says deputies brought him to the hospital for a mental evaluation and seized 3 rifles for safekeeping after Jesse Randall Davidson torched the Mitsubishi Outlander on August 13th 2016 his latest report shows he was hospitalized at least 3 times as people worried about his state of mind Davidson allegedly fired a handgun out of his classroom window adult and high school on Wednesday no one was hit but it caused chaos the additional details about Davidson's past run ins with law enforcement emerged as the school reopened today. Federal immigration authorities now say they've arrested $232.00 undocumented immigrants in Northern California since Sunday I said in a statement the arrests range from the Bakersfield area north to the Oregon border ice complained again about California's sanctuary state legislation saying it left the agency with no choice but to continue to conduct at large arrests in local neighborhoods and at work sites with the inevitable result of additional so-called collateral arrests the eye statement also complained about local politicians an apparent reference to Oakland Mayor Libby shaft who warned on Saturday night that an immigration sweep was coming White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the Justice Department is reviewing chaffs action I think it's outrageous that Maryland circumvent federal. Ortiz is certainly cut down in danger by making them live such as that and it's currently under review by the Department of Justice. Shaft has said she does not regret sharing the information reporter John Yoo has more than merely the shaft made headlines this week when she learned presidents to the upcoming I saw operation she received backlash from ice to Rector Tom Homan and the Justice Department is reportedly reviewing her conduct to determine if the mayor broke the law on Friday and there chef stated that she did nothing illegal and that she was simply informing residents of their legal rights his recent operation in the Bay Area by ice cold data demonstrates that the majority of people that they don't read. Know I Know That is a warning to my dad. You're. Immigrants are dangerous. If the law it is right and we must stand up against that the Immigration Enforcement Agency and said that $115.00 of the $232.00 arrested had felony convictions for serious violent offenses I said it focuses in Foresman resources on those who pose a threat to national security public safety and border security crisis San Francisco field office administers the area from Bakersfield north to the Oregon border in a statement these and see highlighted the offenses of some of the detained the convictions include child sex crimes weapons charges and battery I still don't give more information on the 65 detainees who had a criminal record but not for serious or violent offenses the agency did not provide information on who was arrested and under what circumstances it is uncertain how many of those arrested were intentionally targeted and homebody.

Environmental groups had to sue to get the feds to stop relocating the otters and then sided with the fans in the latest lawsuit to protect the sea mammals Simic estimates about a dozen fishing crews each make a half $1000000.00 a year selling sea urchins to sushi chefs in Japan he thinks it'll be 50 to 100 years before the otters eat so many urchins as to make that fishery unprofitable Simic also notes that sea otters are crucial to a healthy ocean environment if you take the otter out of the system the system often becomes overrun with urchin and you lose help for a few arteries bring back help to help forest health care.
