Reclaim America Join the Coffee Party Movement Thank you Senator Markey! Senator Edward J. Markey  — US Senator for Massachusetts In Massachusetts, would-be gun buyers "must complete a four-hour gun safety course, get character references from two people", and have a one-on-one interview with a police officer. We have the lowest gun death rate in America. Let's do this everywhere. Congress should pass my MASS Act that incentivizes other states to adopt tough gun laws similar to those in Massachusetts. NEWTON, Mass. ― A thirtysomething man sought to buy a rifle here last September, and if he had been living in almost any other part of the country, he could have done so easily.  His record was free of arrests, involuntary psychiatric commitments or anything else that might automatically disqualify him from owning firearms under federal law.

After 16 Years, Afghanistan War Is 'At Best A Grinding Stalemate,' Journalist Says February 6, 2018 TERRY GROSS Enlarge this image A U.S. Army helicopter crew chief scans the ground near Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan in June 2017. Capt. Brian Harris/AP America's war in Afghanistan is the longest war the U.S. has ever fought. Beginning a month after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the initial mission was to remove the Taliban from power and destroy the al-Qaida terror network. Now, nearly 17 years later, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll points out that the war's goals have changed.
