COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — After years of failed attempts to convince Missouri's Republican-led Legislature to enact stricter gun laws, St. Louis locals are trying to sidestep lawmakers altogether.A former judge, state lawmaker and criminologist filed initiative petitions on Wednesday that would amend Missouri's Constitution to allow St. Louis and other local governments to adopt their own gun policies.“The use of guns for hunting in rural Missouri is very different than the use of guns in urban areas,” Rick Rosenfeld, a retired University of Missouri—St. Louis criminology professor, said in a statement.The effort comes after Republican lawmakers rebuffed requests this year from St. Louis' mayor and new police chief to make it harder for minors to carry firearms or to allow urban areas to adopt stricter gun policies compared to the rest of the state. ‘Sk8 Liborius’ church skate park burns down In February, the GOP-led House voted down a bipartisan proposal to put limits on whe...Remains of Korean War solider to be buried in Mount Vernon, Illinois

An Arapahoe County judge set a $100 million cash-only bail for a murder defendant Thursday as judges across the state begin grappling with last week’s Colorado Supreme Court ruling that found defendants charged with first-degree murder are now entitled to bail.Before last week’s ruling, first-degree murder defendants could be held in jail without bail in Colorado because the crime was considered a capital offense. But because the state abolished the death penalty in 2020, the justices ruled that first-degree murder defendants charged since then have a right to bail.First-degree murder is no longer a capital offense, the justices found in the June 20 ruling, and defendants in those murder cases must be given the chance to pay bail and be free while their cases are pending.That’s led judges across metro Denver to issue sky-high bail amounts in the last 10 days. A man accused of killing an Arvada police officer had a $15 million cash-only bail set Thursday. The Aurora...Los Angeles homelessness up 9% in the county, 10% in the city, count finds
