Chenault introduces gun ownership bill
BECKY BOHRER,Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) A bill introduced in the Alaska House would make it a misdemeanor for a federal employee to try to enforce any new restrictions on gun ownership.
HB69, from House Speaker Mike Chenault, was introduced the same day President Barack Obama unveiled a package of executive orders and legislative proposals aimed at curbing gun violence. Obama's proposals include background checks for all gun sales and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
They follow last month's deadly shooting at a Connecticut school.
