Newsletter: Today: The Gloves Are Off. No Right to Tote.

TOP STORIES

The Gloves Are Off (Were They Ever On?)

Bernie Sanders is still moving onward to the D.C. primary, but the big battle lines are drawn. He and other Democrats made it clear they are out to stop Donald Trump. That meant, in short order: an endorsement for Hillary Clinton from President Obama, attacks from Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden on Trump, and a good old-fashioned Twitter fight. ”Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama — but nobody else does!” tweeted Trump. Clinton’s response: “Delete your account.”

No Right to Tote

Want to carry a concealed firearm in public? You’ll need some ammunition, figuratively speaking. In a 7-4 ruling, a federal appeals court said the 2nd Amendment does not give people the right to carry a concealed gun. Instead, owners must show “good cause” if they want to do so. Of course, counties define “good cause” differently. And the state already has banned the open carrying of firearms. Read on to see what gun advocates’ next legal challenge may be.

A Cloud at Occidental College Begins to Lift

Three years ago, about 50 students and faculty members at Occidental College filed federal complaints that administrators had fostered a hostile environment for sexual assault victims. The findings: Though some complaints weren’t addressed promptly, the school didn’t otherwise violate civil rights laws. It also agreed to reforms, such as training and conducting campus surveys on sexual misconduct.

Why American Samoans Can’t Vote

American Samoa has been a U.S. territory for more than a century. But American Samoans don’t have the same rights as U.S. citizens — to vote, serve as military officers or hold top government posts. Instead, they are “nationals.” Now, an L.A.-based group has asked the Supreme Court to intervene. Read on to see why the U.S. and American Samoan governments both urged the high court to ignore it.

Roar! You’re on Candid Camera

They’re known as “camera trappers” — professional and amateur wildlife photographers who capture their prey in still and moving images.
