Fort Worth Star-Telegram 2/8/2021 Eleanor Dearman, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Feb. 8 Lawmakers are back in Austin for the first legislative session since the mass shootings in El Paso and Midland-Odessa, presenting an opportunity to the address gun laws in a state where more than 3,000 people are killed with a gun each year.
It s a familiar position for lawmakers, who went into the 2019 session in the wake of mass shootings at a church in Sutherland Springs and a high school in Santa Fe.

Benorce Duncan, 32, of Jersey City, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Katharine S. Hayden in Newark federal court to an indictment charging him with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.
Hayden imposed the sentence by videoconference earlier today.
On May 21, 2019, Duncan knowingly possessed a Röhm .22-caliber RG10 revolver loaded with six rounds of ammunition.
At that time, Duncan had previously been convicted in Hudson County Superior Court of aggravated assault and robbery, both of which are felonies.
In addition to the prison term, Hayden sentenced Duncan to three years of supervised release.
