A little more than a year after 10 people were killed in a mass shooting at the King Soopers on Table Mesa Drive, the Boulder City Council unanimously approved six gun violence prevention ordinances, including an assault weapons ban. The legislation repeals Boulder’s older ordinances governing assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, instead replacing them with new regulations that will do much of the same. In addition to barring the sale and possession of assault weapons, the ordinance approved Tuesday limits magazines to 10 rounds or fewer, bans bump stocks and other rapid-fire trigger activators and raises the age of firearms possession to 21. Other ordinances include one that prohibits carrying firearms in city properties, at demonstrations or near polling locations; another that bans ghost guns, or those that lack serial numbers, and another that requires signage warning of the dangers of gun ownership at gun shops as well as a 10-day waiting period before delivery of a firearm.

    A debate over the debt ceiling is at the center of a dispute over funding that is pushing Washington to the brink of a federal government shutdown.

    WASHINGTON — A day before a potential government shutdown, the House resoundingly rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s new plan Thursday to fund operations and suspend the debt ceiling, as Democrats and dozens of Republicans refused to accommodate his sudden demands.

That's something the American people certainly agree with and while they're doing that, they're also demonstrating to America how you heal and unify a very divided nation.
