"In 2019, Oklahoma repealed its requirement that people obtain a license and background check to carry firearms in public. As a result, Oklahoma law now generally authorizes any person who may legally purchase and possess a firearm and who is at least 21 years of age to carry loaded firearms in public, openly or concealed, without a license"

Unclear how federal gun ban will be enforced in N.W.T.
The deadline for Ottawa's gun buyback has passed with 81 firearms being declared in the N.W.T. under the program. Now gun owners still have a few more months to dispose of, or permanently deactivate, their banned assault-style firearms — but it's still unclear how that will be enforced in the N.W.T.

You don't see this every day: a journal editorial calling for #peace.
https://www.ajrh.info/index.php/ajrh/article/view/6830

The 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 is calling for peace because "peace is public health."

Reminds me of the 2015 NEJM editorial supporting #GunControl -- electing "lawmakers at all levels of government with the courage to defy gun lobbyists" -- for the simple reason that gun violence is a public health crisis.
