Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was never an NRA "statesman of the year" recipient. The former governor of Florida had "mistaken and conflated" the claim, his campaign spokesman told BuzzFeed News on Monday. As evidence of his firm support for Second Amendment rights, Bush has, on multiple occasions, shared a story about how then-NRA president Charlton Heston bestowed a rifle and a �statesman of the year� award on him in 2003. However, with a little old-fashioned sleuthing, BuzzFeed News found the NRA does not appear to have a "statesman of the year" award.

What if I told you there was an illness killing more than 30,000 Americans a year, with more than 80,000 becoming ill but recovering? While some may recover completely, for many the repercussions are lifelong, with chronic pain, neurologic problems, and psychological issues. It�s an unpredictable illness, striking both young and old. While there are risk factors for being affected, many of those who die seem to merely have had bad luck.

President Barack Obama is expected to take executive action without the approval of Congress in order to expand background checks for gun owners.

White House officials say it will focus on the "gun show loophole" that allows certain gun sellers at places like guns shows to sell a gun without conducting a background check.
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both. � William Rawle, A View of the Constitution 125-6 (2nd ed. 1829)
