Across America, people are afraid. Nearly a third said they can’t go anywhere without worrying about being the victim of a mass shooting, according to a 2019 survey.

apnews.com/article/gun-vi…
But most gun violence in America is related to seemingly ordinary disputes that spin out of control and someone goes for a gun. Often, the victim and the shooter know one another. They are co-workers and acquaintances, siblings and neighbors.

apnews.com/article/gun-vi…
They are people like David Guess, who police say was shot by an acquaintance, or Oneil Anderson, who police say was killed in front of his barbershop. There’s Brittany Macon, a Subway worker who was fatally shot by an irate customer.

The Supreme Court on Thursday limited the reach of the nation’s main anti-air pollution law that’s used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.

@AP explains. apne.ws/Jjfo801
The 6-3 ruling declared that the Clean Air Act does not give the Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate emissions from plants that contribute to global warming.

Power plants account for roughly 30% of carbon dioxide output. apne.ws/Jjfo801
The Clean Air Act, which the EPA used in its rulemaking, was passed in 1970, when global warming was little known. apne.ws/Jjfo801
