| DAILY ALERT FOR Monday, October 5, 2026 |
|
| | | | While the state of Missouri is considered a pro-Second Amendment state—including having Constitutional Carry—the City of St. Louis has a tendency to try to go its own way on the matter. The recent case of a resident evicted from his public housing unit after a defensive gun use appears to be the latest example. |
| | | | Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots – computer programs on websites, messaging apps, and social media platforms designed to simulate human conversation through text or voice – are now ubiquitous. Asked how widespread AI usage is, a Google chatbot responds that “roughly 49% of U.S. adults use AI chatbots, up from 33% in 2024. About 25% of U.S. adults use them daily,” with young adults (aged 18–29) the most heavily reliant. The primary use (42%) is to search for information. |
| | | | A new bill introduced in Congress proposes to regulate “lethal air guns” as firearms under the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended (GCA). Yet the risk of fatalities and criminal misuse from air guns cannot compare and does not justify the immense regulatory burden the bill would impose. |
| | | | Americans have willingly, and sometimes unwillingly, surrounded themselves with technology that watches, listens, records, and remembers. Cars know how and where we drive. Phones track just about everything in our daily routines. |
| | | | It’s often been said that gun control is really about people control. Understanding this, the megalomania gun control advocates exhibit in their never-ending pursuit to control others displays a zealotry often associated with religious fundamentalism. |
