Gun control debate heating up in statehouses

ATLANTA (AP) – State lawmakers and governors have wasted little time proposing new laws or offering opinions about existing gun regulations in the days after the school shooting in Newtown, Conn.

Many Democratic legislators want to tighten gun restrictions, from requiring background checks for all sales to limiting the kinds of weapons and ammunition that can be manufactured.

Many Republicans are taking a wait-and-see approach, while others want to arm teachers and school authorities.

Officials from both sides say the best policy solutions must involve conversations about mental health.

Whatever the outcome, a key political question is whether the current public outcry carries over into genuine pressure for lawmakers to act.

The National Rifle Association, meanwhile, has remained mostly silent since the shooting. The group has promised a Friday news conference.

Census: Kansas lagged nation in population growth

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – A new report shows the Kansas population growing more slowly than the nation and most other states.

The U.S. Census Bureau is estimating that the population in Kansas grew by one-half of 1 percent from July 2011 to July 2012, while the nation’s population grew by three-quarters of 1 percent.

The Census Bureau said Kansas ranked 30th among states and the District of Columbia in population growth.

According to the figures, Kansas gained 15,000 new residents to make its population almost 2.9 million.

But North Dakota, the leader, saw its population grow nearly 2.2 percent during the same period.

Among neighboring states, Colorado, Nebraska and Oklahoma saw greater growth than Kansas, while Arkansas, Iowa and Missouri lagged behind the Sunflower State.

Gov. hears report on Kansas drought conditions

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – Gov. Sam Brownback says Kansas farmers, ranchers and communities should review their water use and conservation plans as drought conditions persist.

Brownback received an update Thursday on the drought and steps being taken around the state to maintain adequate water levels.

Officials said water supplies remain critically low, especially at the 24 federal reservoirs around the state. Several are more than 30 percent below normal levels. The officials noted that the John Redmond Reservoir in east-central Kansas is at 46 percent capacity.

Brownback says it’s difficult to predict when the drought will end. He urged water users to update any conservation or emergency plans should conditions worsen.
