From Reuters<\/a>: <\/font>Democrat Elizabeth Warren raised $3.15 million in the first stage of her bid for the Senate from Massachusetts, the former Obama administration official’s campaign said on Monday.<\/p>\n

More than 11,000 individuals in Massachusetts alone gave to Warren’s campaign, and the vast majority of the contributions were $100 or less.<\/p>\n

From CBS<\/a>: <\/font>California Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday signed a bill banning the open carrying of handguns in public, making California the fifth U.S. state to do so.<\/p>\n

When I lived in Arizona, that had an open carry law, and I saw weapons used in threats on more than one occasion.  I see nothing in the Second Amendment that guarantees open carry.<\/font><\/p>\n
