The president participated in a town Mason University and explained why hes in favor of placing more restrictions on guns. Karin caifa is in Fairfax Virginia, with the latest. Reporter pkgas follows the way it is described, is that we are trying to take away everybodys guns. In his first town hall event in 2016, the president debated the second amendment. And the gun violence gripping the nation. He stood in front of supporters critics and some familiar faces including Gabby Giffords the former representative who was shot five years ago and her husband retired astronaut mark kelly. gabby and i are both gun owners. We take gun ownership very seriously. The president says he never owned a gun and has little experience with firearms. But says his stance on guns helped manufacturers. i have been now president for over seven years and gun sales dont seem to have suffered during that time. I have been very good for gun manufacturers. He says his policies make sense but have been overly politicized. our position is consistently mischaracterized. His current position and narrowing the so called gun show loophole, that leaves most small and private sellers exempt from keeping formal sales records. Not everyone agrees. the thing is that the laws that we create dont stop these horrific things from happening. A cnn orc poll found that a majority of the public supports the measures that obama outlined this week, but less than half of americans think they would actually limit gun violence. In Fairfax Virginia im karin caifa. An investigation starting in sacramento. Has led to the arrest of several people possibly linked to terrorism. The Us Attorneys Office in sacramento says a 23yearold iraqi citizen was arrested this morning. Hes accused of traveling to syria, to fight alongside terrorist organizations and lying to investigators about it. That led to the arrest of three of his relatives in wisconsin, in a separate case. In texas, Lieutenant Governor dan patrick says a terror suspect was arrested in it may sound like petty theft, but stealing mail is a serious crime. With serious consequences, for the thief and the victim. A communal mailbox was recently broken into in a stead neighborhood. Here in nevada bills, credit card applications, drivers licenses, and checks, all come in the mail. Thats why mail theft is a serious crime. Its a federal felony. Punishable by two years in prison for each count. The Postal Service has their own investigative department. Postal inspectors are fully sworn Law Enforcement officers, with all the powers that implies. So throughout the entire year postal inspectors all over the country respond to and follow up with reports of individual mail theft. The boxes in stead are being replaced with stronger, more secure units and residents are being told to pick up their mail at the Stead Post Office in the meantime. If youve been the victim of mail theft, the post office wants you to report the crime. If you have any theft, you can call the Postal Services national tipline. Or secret witness. Secret witness will pay cash rewards for information, leading to arrest, and prosecution. Thanks to a 65thousand dollar grant from the Nevada Office of traffic safety. The Reno Police Department has new equipment that can help keep you safe. The new equipment is called faro. It can take an image, in 360 degrees rendering that image in 3d form. It takes a matter of minutes as opposed to the old system, which could take hours. But perhaps the biggest impact is the new system can be used in a courtroom. Sgt. Joe lever, Reno Police Departmentit is a lot easier for the jury and judge to see what happened there that night or that day when the accident occurred. Therefore making that person responsible, for lack of better term, pay for what they did. The old system would only render an image in 2d, and also require double the number of the faro system will free up officers. Allowing them to get back on patrol. .
