NY AG sues manufacturer over magazine lock used in Buffalo store massacre ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s attorney general sued a gun accessory manufacturer Thursday for selling a lock that can be easily removed to attach high-capacity magazines, which are illegal in the state. The white gunman who massacred 10 Black shoppers and workers in a Buffalo supermarket last year carried out the attack with a semiautomatic rifle he purchased legally, but then modified so he could load it with illegal high-capacity ammunition magazines, as previously reported. New York law bans the ...

Horoscopes

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The noise of the world becomes far less interesting to you as you tend to what arises from your inside world.

Bothersome belching

Dear Annie: I started seeing someone recently. “Matthew” is a perfect gentleman in many respects, but he has one habit that I find very rude and jarring: He burps, frequently, and sometimes without even covering his mouth. We sit down to watch a movie together after dinner, and all I can focus on is his constant gurgles next to me on the couch. The relationship is still relatively new, and I don’t want to hurt his feelings, but this is a serious turnoff. What should I tell him? -- Excuse You Dear Excuse You: Don’t be too quick to judge: It might not be his fault. Frequent ...

Spring cleaning involves inspection

Dear Heloise: Of course, spring cleaning means a deep cleaning of our homes, but it’s also a time for home repairs. We always go over every inch of our house, including the attic and basement. Thank goodness we do, because we found bees had built a nest between the outer wall and the insulation, and it was large! We had them removed by a professional (they vacuum the bees up, including the queen, without harming them). We got that problem out of the way and a couple other things that could have become serious issues if we didn’t catch them earlier. -- Diane T., Round Rock, Texas ...

House Republicans pass new asylum restrictions as Title 42 ends

WASHINGTON — House Republicans passed a sweeping bill Thursday to build more U.S.-Mexico border wall and impose new restrictions on asylum seekers, creating a hard-line counter to President Joe Biden’s policies just as migrants are amassing along the border with the end of coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The bill has virtually no chance of becoming law. Democrats, who have a narrow hold on the Senate, have decried the aggressive measures in the bill as “cruel” and “anti-immigrant,” and Biden has already promised he would veto it. The legislation passed 219-213, with ...
