A striped bass was caught in a balloon and swimming around Rye Harbor on the seacoast of New Hampshire when a fishing boat chased it. A fisherman disentangled the fish and set it free — even though it was about the right size to be a keeper.
BOSTON — An array of gun bills drew a crowd of citizen activists to the State House on Tuesday, with a pair of bills aimed at ending the citizen ban on firearm suppressors and temporarily taking guns out of the possession of at-risk persons drawing the most passionate testimony.
The day started with state Representative David Linsky (D-Natick) making remarks at the building's Nurses Hall to kick off what was described as a gun violence protection lobby day. Linsky's legislation, an "act establishing extreme risk protective orders," would allow a family member, living partner, police officer, district attorney, or health professional to petition judges to temporarily take away legally-owned guns and ammo from another individual.
