Thursday night.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION Louisiana: House to Consider Two Pro-Gun Bills This Week This week, the Louisiana House is scheduled to consider two pro-gun bills, House Bill 281 and House Bill 235.   DELAWARE STATE NEWS Delaware gun control bills stall in committee Three controversial gun bills will not be released from committee, meaning they are essentially dead. The measures, which were discussed before a packed house in the Senate Executive Committee Wednesday, would have prohibited a variety of semi-automatic firearms classified as "assault weapons," criminalized magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds and established a permitting process to buy a gun. While the bills faced an uphill climb to become law, defeat in the first real test of the legislative process is a surprising outcome and a big blow to gun control advocates. Opponents on the committee still could reverse their decision and send the bills to the entire Senate, but the odds of such a change of opinion appear slim.   WASHINGTONEXAMINER Gillibrand calls for "assault weapon" and large magazine bans to combat "gun violence" Presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said that she does not support creating a federal firearm licensing system. "No, I think there is a better approach," Gillibrand told the Washington Examiner at a campaign stop in Warner, N.H., on Saturday, when asked about a plan proposed by primary rival Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. "To end gun violence, I would do three things," she said. "I would, No. 1, pass universal background checks, which are commonsense and supported by 70% of America."   WASHINGTONPOST.COM Cory Booker's misleading claim that toy guns are more regulated than real guns The Fact Checker obviously has no opinion on whether guns should face regulatory oversight for safety or design. But Booker's comparison of the regulations of toy guns and real guns is specious. In the Medium post, he made clear that when he said "more regulation," he meant CPSC regulation, not all regulation. The careful language was probably just One or Two Pinocchios. But such nuances were lost when he spoke on television or tweeted about it, pushing himself into the Three Pinocchio range. The CPSC does not regulate guns, but it does regulate toy guns. That does not mean there are "more regulations" of toy guns than real ones. Firearms, at just about every level, are highly regulated in the United States. Booker is calling for another level of regulation, but he can't suggest toy guns are even more highly regulated.
