After four long years, and at a time Philadelphia needs it most, there is an occupant in the White House who understands the value of gun control.
The White House has announced initial actions the administration is taking to address gun violence. Unable to impose gun control requirements through executive action, the White House instructed the Department of Justice to draft a model “red flag” law for states to use and craft a federal law enforcement response to the proliferation of “ghost guns.”
The plan calls for $5 billion toward a violence interruption program. President Joe Biden also nominated David Chipman, a former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent who most recently was a senior adviser for the gun control group Giffords, to head the ATF an agency that didn’t have a confirmed director since 2015.

Editorial: Pa. is finally upgrading its unemployment system, but claimants will have to do without during the process
Pennsylvania is embarking on an overdue update to the state unemployment system, an update that officials say will modernize the website and streamline applicants’ experiences with the system.
This update has been in the works for years and was set to take place in October, but administrators pushed it back as it necessitates shutting down the system for a period.
