The Secret History of Gun Rights: How Lawmakers Armed the N.R.A.

They served in Congress and on the N.R.A.'s board at the same time. Over decades, a small group of legislators led by a prominent Democrat pushed the gun lobby to help transform the law, the courts and views on the Second Amendment.

She confronted a 6-year-old seconds after he shot his teacher
In an interview with the Washington Post, Amy Kovac describes for the first time holding the child after he shot and wounded his first-grade teacher


Amy Kovac was approaching Abigail Zwerner's first-grade classroom at Virginia's Richneck Elementary School the moment a 6-year-old student pulled out a gun.

The reading specialist said in an interview with The Washington Post that she heard the blast from the hallway and thought: "Oh my God." Suddenly, the door to Zwerner's classroom burst open and panicked students ran out.

Zwerner, who had been shot through the hand and in her shoulder and was bleeding badly, followed.

Kovac, 54, said instinct kicked in. She went into the classroom. She said the boy looked proud.

"I did it," Kovac said the boy told her. "I shot the bitch dead."

A 'slap on the wrist,' Asheville man says not enough being done to person who shot him

On Feb. 17, 2023, Adam Edmonds drove to Sam's Club with his girlfriend and then 5-year-old daughter.

Edmonds said he was trying to back his truck into a space when a man pulled in and cut him off, taking the spot. Edmonds admitted he made a gesture to the man, but he never expected it to escalate the way it did.

Edmonds said he noticed the man sitting outside the store entrance, watching as he went in search of another parking space.

When the three of them got to the entrance, Edmonds said the man started yelling profanity at them.

Edmonds attempted to create space between his girlfriend and daughter and the man, telling the man to back up.

That's when things took a turn, and 25-year-old Tristen Joyner pulled a gun on Edmonds.

"He pulled a 9 millimeter, shot me point blank, hit me in the hip, came out my back," Edmonds said. "Two Girl Scouts were selling cookies right behind me, maybe 10 feet away."

Edmonds thinks the man who shot him should face something more than the possibility of up to 15 months of probation.

"First time offender, discharging a firearm in a public place in Asheville is a misdemeanor 'slap on the wrist' from what I'm understanding," Edmonds said.
