A new U.S. Supreme Court is in town, so to speak, and it has just agreed to hear a gun control case that will help define the scope of the Second Amendment. This is the moment advocates on both sides of the gun control debate have been either waiting for or dreading, depending on their perspective.

Goal of Oregon senator is to get president to include them in next federal plan to help families.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley has sponsored drug-pricing legislation that he hopes Joe Biden will make part of the next presidential spending plan to help American families.
The Oregon Democrat has floated some of these ideas previously, and he has put them in a bill he is sponsoring with Democratic Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont. But Merkley says they will stand a better chance if Biden incorporates them into a follow-up to the $1.9 trillion pandemic recovery plan, which Democratic congressional majorities passed and Biden signed on March 11.
