STATE HOUSE — As Massachusetts members of Congress joined a protest on the floor of the U.S. House Wednesday over the refusal of GOP leadership to allow a vote on gun control, House Speaker Robert DeLeo said similar state-level bill could remain bottled up this session.
DeLeo, a Winthrop Democrat, supports the idea of denying a gun license to anyone on the federal government's terrorist watch or no-fly lists, but was hesitant Wednesday to promise any action on the measure this session, which ends in just over a month.
Massachusetts residents are freaking out over the state's proposal to turn an island into a venomous rattlesnake sanctuary, documents obtained by the news site Muckrock.com show.
