Obama staying out of gun bill negotiations on Capitol Hill
President Obama has kept a low profile as gun bills take shape on Capitol Hill. Vice President Biden leads the push while Obama plans to speak as votes near, with aides noting a Mayors Against Illegal Guns and other groups aiding the campaign. Biden convenes talks with lawmakers and advocates, though a broad assault weapons ban faces long odds.

Communities consider mandatory gun ownership in Maine town
In Byron Maine a 140 person town weighs a proposed ordinance requiring all households to own firearms and ammunition to deter crime. The plan faces state preemption and likely voter rejection under 2011 law. The measure mirrors similar efforts in Sabattus Nelson and elsewhere as gun rights advocates push back against restrictions.
