(AP) — California would become the first state to allow family members to petition judges to take away relatives' guns if they are deemed to be dangerous under a bill facing a Tuesday deadline for action by the governor. Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies had visited the killer, 22-year-old community college student Elliot Rodger, weeks before the rampage after his parents raised concerns about his behavior. Law enforcement officers in Connecticut, Indiana and Texas already can seek a judge's order allowing them to seize guns from people they deem to be a danger.

Mother Jones, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 04:35 PM
After it emerged recently that Gov. Kristi Noem recounts a graphic, disturbing story in her forthcoming book about killing her puppy with a gun, the Republican from South Dakota defended the violence as a “tough decision” she had to make. The dog, she wrote, had attacked some chickens. “I talk about it because what I’m tired of in this country is politicians who pretend to be something that they’re not,” Noem said on CBS’s Face the Nation today. That tough talk aside, Noem apparently is not immune to such posing: It has now also emerged that she falsely claimed in her book to have met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
