The Love Story Behind Alabama's First Legally Married Same-Sex Couple

When Tori Sisson and Shanté Wolfe first met on the floor of an apartment party, they had no way of knowing they were on their way to making history — together. Shanté Wolf shares her side of the story with BuzzFeed News.

A bipartisan coalition of mayors, lawmakers, and law enforcement in Alabama endorsed a public safety package last week that would ban devices used to convert semiautomatic weapons into machine guns. #alabama #alpol #alpoli #safety #uspol #uspolitics #GunSafety https://apnews.com/article/alabama-glock-switch-gun-conversion-device-ban-44fee137597dd67dc4adcb366e25b0a4
A rare bipartisan coalition in Alabama pushes ban on machine gun conversion devices

A bipartisan coalition in Alabama has come together to endorse a public safety package that would ban devices that convert semi-automatic weapons into machine guns. The group of mayors, lawmakers and law enforcement marks a rare consensus on gun restrictions and a departure from years of conflict about how to stem gun violence. Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said Wednesday that “Even if there are some things we may not agree with, today is a major deal.” Police believe the conversion devices dramatically increase gun violence casualties. Some Democrats expressed concern about a bill in the package that would increase legal protections for police officers accused of using excessive force.
