Researchers from Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard assess 2007 2010 data and find states with more gun ownership restrictions like Massachusetts and New Jersey show 42 percent fewer gun related homicides and personal crisis reports than states with fewer restrictions such as Utah and Oklahoma. The study notes no proven causation and cites enforcement as a potential factor.

Brennan Confirmed as CIA Director After Filibuster
The Senate confirmed John Brennan as CIA director by a 63 to 34 vote after Republicans pressed for limits on drone use on American soil. Democrats won by ending the filibuster 81 to 16 as Attorney General Holder stated the president cannot use a weaponized drone against a noncombatant on U.S. soil. Brennan will replace Michael Morell, who has acted since Petraeus resigned.
