Handgun makers back voluntary safety lock plan
President Unton and eight large gun makers announced a voluntary agreement to supply child safety trigger locks with new handguns. About 80 percent will include locks, but critics say the industry can do more. NRA and Glock executives offer mixed views on mandates and practicality. The move aims to forestall federal gun lock legislation.

White House plan faces concern over weakness and timing
Congress members blasted the plan as too weak and late, hoping to keep pressure on the administration. It would add a taxpayer bill of rights, expand time to challenge IRS actions for the ill or disabled, create 33 citizen advocacy panels, and establish an IRS Board of Trustees with five private citizens alongside the deputy secretary and IRS commissioner, while Treasury retains direct IRS authority.
