ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis' elected prosecutor has said she will run for reelection in 2024, even as she tries to fend off an effort by Missouri's attorney general to force her out of office.Democratic Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner spoke Tuesday night at an often-raucous public forum and made it clear that not only will she not resign, but that she plans to run again.Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey last month filed a lawsuit asking a judge to remove Gardner from office, accusing her of incompetence.

Opinion: Backing assault weapon ban should be litmus test in vote for Denver mayor

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:10:48 GMT

Denver East High School had a student that required a pat-down search for guns before being allowed to enter the school. Somehow DPS thought that doing that without police officers was a good idea. It wasn’t. In fact, it was an idea that put the entire school population at risk.How eerie that this incompetence reared its ugly head on the two-year anniversary of the Boulder King Soopers shooting. Our elected leaders, including me, failed us then too. An assault weapons ban likely would have prevented that shooting. I was recalled in 2013 for passing universal background checks and magazine limits. That list should have included an assault weapons ban. It didn’t. It’s one of the biggest regrets in my own life.After the Boulder shooting, I publicly called on the new generation of state legislators and leaders to pass that assault weapons ban. They didn’t. Instead, they shifted the responsibility to local governments. After all, the NRA doesn’t want assault weapons banned. So, let someo...
