Mike Thompson, called it a “historic time,” adding that expanded background checks would “help save lives.” Thompson highlighted the difficulty of getting a gun control vote during the previous eight years, when the chamber was controlled by a Republican majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were not able to get a single hearing or have a single vote in the House under the last majority.

S.C., in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a gun seller has to wait three business days for federal investigators to conduct a background check. Most checks are quick, but incomplete data can sometimes cause a delayed response. If the delay lasts more than three business days, the gun sale can move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019 expands the background check period to 10 days, with the potential to be extended another 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the current system say the Charleston shooter would have been barred from obtaining the gun had investigators had more time to dig into his record and discovered his drug arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/GettyImages-157926585-1020x683.jpg\" label=\"Gun Control\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11727357/san-jose-proposes-new-gun-safety-measures,San Jose Proposes New Gun Safety Measures\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But gun rights groups point out that the shooter had the gun for two months before he committed his crime. They say that was more than enough time for the authorities to complete the check and order the confiscation of his newly purchased gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An internal FBI review and a federal court judge have criticized the background checkers in that case for failing to follow up in their inquiries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR reported in 2017, the shooter has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509166866/jury-sentences-dylann-roof-to-die\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">convicted and sentenced\u003c/a> to death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking before the final passage, Rep.

Clementa Pinckney, one of those victims in the 2015 massacre, seated in the House Chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added by the time authorities discovered the shooter should have been ineligible to have the gun, “it was too late.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a result those poor souls lost their lives,” Clyburn said. “Let’s give the FBI, let’s give the authorities enough time to do their jobs. We’ll save lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most House Republicans did not support the legislation, including Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said increasing the waiting time for someone to get a gun could put victims of abuse or people seeking to defend their families in more danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill will empower abusers and violent predators by making their victims more vulnerable,” Collins said. “It will do nothing to make our communities safer, but it will make it harder for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An amendment to give federal background checkers access to a larger criminal database called the National Data Exchange failed to get enough support, and was withdrawn.

Yet, in the end, only eight Republicans crossed party lines to support the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, John Feinblatt, president of the anti-gun violence group Everytown for Gun Safety, praised lawmakers for “stepping up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We applaud Speaker Pelosi and the bipartisan coalition of House members who supported this bill for stepping up and doing their part to close the giant — and deadly — loopholes in America’s background checks law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democrats hope the swift passage of the companion bills will put pressure on the Senate to act. The National Rifle Association opposes the legislation, and it faces major headwinds in the Republican-controlled Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the unlikely event the Senate approves the measure, the White House has already signaled the president would veto the bill, should it reach his desk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

It’s a new day,” Thompson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second bill, approved on Thursday, would extend the time sellers that have to wait before completing a gun sale. Like Wednesday’s measure, it passed largely along party lines — 228-198.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday’s bill seeks to close the “Charleston loophole” that allowed an avowed \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/18/415345850/reports-eight-dead-in-shooting-at-charleston-s-c-church\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white supremacist\u003c/a> to buy a gun used to kill nine parishioners at Mother Emanuel AME in Charleston. S.C., in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a gun seller has to wait three business days for federal investigators to conduct a background check. Most checks are quick, but incomplete data can sometimes cause a delayed response. If the delay lasts more than three business days, the gun sale can move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2019 expands the background check period to 10 days, with the potential to be extended another 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the current system say the Charleston shooter would have been barred from obtaining the gun had investigators had more time to dig into his record and discovered his drug arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Environmentalists have long argued that a border wall has negative impacts on wildlife and on delicate desert and mountainous terrains. With President Trump's national emergency declaration, those concerns will only grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a decade ago, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security authority to waive environmental regulations for national security reasons. The government can bypass a whole host of laws, including the Endangered Species and Clean Air Acts, in order to expedite border wall construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That concerns environmentalists like Laiken Jordahl, with the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity. On a recent overcast morning, he stood in front of a new section of border fence near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry in southern New Mexico. The 20-mile-long steel fence was constructed last year, replacing waist-high vehicle barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11727929\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11727929 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/wall1-937797ff260eb587d7c756a5a479566ec095ecc7-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"New 18-foot, steel bollard fencing is replacing an old vehicle border near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry in New Mexico.

"content": "\u003cp>In 2011, Glynnis Bohannon gave her 12-year-old son permission to charge $20 on her credit card to play a game on Facebook called Ninja Saga. Neither of them saw any signs that the credit card information had been stored and was racking up charges as her son played and made additional in-game purchases. Bohannon says her son didn't realize it would end up costing nearly $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bohannon was the main plaintiff in a \u003ca href=\"http://ia800303.us.archive.org/1/items/gov.uscourts.cand.254070/gov.uscourts.cand.254070.1.7.pdf\">2012 class-action lawsuit\u003c/a> that Facebook settled in 2016. The suit was brought on behalf of parents whose minor children unknowingly made purchases on their parents' credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, more than a dozen groups that advocate for children's rights and privacy rights said they're asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether Facebook has engaged in illegal, unfair or deceptive practices by enticing children to spend money on in-game purchases without their parents' consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook's scamming of children is not only unethical and reprehensible — it's likely a violation of consumer protection laws,\" said Josh Golin, executive director of Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood. \"Time and time again, we see that Facebook plays by its own rules regardless of the cost to children, families and society. We urge the FTC to hold Facebook accountable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The request for an FTC investigation comes after a court granted a request by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/facebook-knowingly-duped-game-playing-kids-and-their-parents-out-of-money/\">Center For Investigative Reporting \u003c/a>to unseal documents from the 2012 class-action suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another document, cited in a release by the advocacy groups, Facebook employees called an underage girl a \"whale\" — a term used by casinos to refer to someone who spends a lot of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents also say Facebook made it challenging to find out how to report what happened and often would not reimburse parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the revelations from the unsealed documents is that Facebook employees did come up with ways to prevent children from unwittingly stacking up charges on their parents' credit cards. But employees were told it would cut into Facebook revenues. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5694580-Exhibit-K.html#document/p2/a477366\">one document\u003c/a>, Facebook told developers not to avoid what it called \"friendly fraud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, says the unsealed documents show \"the attitude of the company and the culture that underlay these decisions and the deceptive practices. So that alone speaks volumes and says we need to crack down on this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common Sense Media, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and the Center for Digital Democracy are among the groups asking the FTC to investigate Facebook. An FTC spokeswoman said the agency received the groups' request but had no additional comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to NPR on Thursday, a Facebook spokesperson said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We want people to have safe and enjoyable gaming experiences on Facebook, so providing resources to seek refunds for unauthorized purchases made in games is an important part of the platform. We have in place mechanisms to prevent fraud at the time of purchase and we offer people the option to dispute purchases and seek refunds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As part of our long history of working with parents and experts to offer tools for families navigating Facebook and the web, Facebook also has safeguards in place regarding minors' purchases. In 2016, we updated our terms and now provide dedicated resources for refund requests related to purchases made by minors on Facebook, including special training for our reviewers.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/california/candce/5:2012cv01894/254070/159/\">In the 2016 settlement\u003c/a>, Facebook agreed to make certain changes to its practices. For example, it had to inform app developers that any purchases made by minors could be voided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steyer of Common Sense Media says the settlement isn't sufficient. \"At least it brought to light some of the unfair and deceptive practices and the privacy violations. But it didn't really protect all children and families and consumers in this country, which is the job of the FTC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook isn't the only tech company to engage in this kind of conduct. Apple, Google and Amazon have been accused of similar behavior. Settlement agreements with the FTC required those companies to modify their billing practices to ensure express consent from parents for in-app purchases. The settlements also required tens of millions in refunds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Neither of them saw any signs that the credit card information had been stored and was racking up charges as her son played and made additional in-game purchases. Bohannon says her son didn't realize it would end up costing nearly $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bohannon was the main plaintiff in a \u003ca href=\"http://ia800303.us.archive.org/1/items/gov.uscourts.cand.254070/gov.uscourts.cand.254070.1.7.pdf\">2012 class-action lawsuit\u003c/a> that Facebook settled in 2016. The suit was brought on behalf of parents whose minor children unknowingly made purchases on their parents' credit cards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, more than a dozen groups that advocate for children's rights and privacy rights said they're asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether Facebook has engaged in illegal, unfair or deceptive practices by enticing children to spend money on in-game purchases without their parents' consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Facebook's scamming of children is not only unethical and reprehensible — it's likely a violation of consumer protection laws,\" said Josh Golin, executive director of Campaign for Commercial-Free Childhood. \"Time and time again, we see that Facebook plays by its own rules regardless of the cost to children, families and society. We urge the FTC to hold Facebook accountable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The request for an FTC investigation comes after a court granted a request by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.revealnews.org/article/facebook-knowingly-duped-game-playing-kids-and-their-parents-out-of-money/\">Center For Investigative Reporting \u003c/a>to unseal documents from the 2012 class-action suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But employees were told it would cut into Facebook revenues. According to \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5694580-Exhibit-K.html#document/p2/a477366\">one document\u003c/a>, Facebook told developers not to avoid what it called \"friendly fraud.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, says the unsealed documents show \"the attitude of the company and the culture that underlay these decisions and the deceptive practices. So that alone speaks volumes and says we need to crack down on this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common Sense Media, the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and the Center for Digital Democracy are among the groups asking the FTC to investigate Facebook. An FTC spokeswoman said the agency received the groups' request but had no additional comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to NPR on Thursday, a Facebook spokesperson said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"We want people to have safe and enjoyable gaming experiences on Facebook, so providing resources to seek refunds for unauthorized purchases made in games is an important part of the platform. We have in place mechanisms to prevent fraud at the time of purchase and we offer people the option to dispute purchases and seek refunds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As part of our long history of working with parents and experts to offer tools for families navigating Facebook and the web, Facebook also has safeguards in place regarding minors' purchases. In 2016, we updated our terms and now provide dedicated resources for refund requests related to purchases made by minors on Facebook, including special training for our reviewers.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/california/candce/5:2012cv01894/254070/159/\">In the 2016 settlement\u003c/a>, Facebook agreed to make certain changes to its practices. For example, it had to inform app developers that any purchases made by minors could be voided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steyer of Common Sense Media says the settlement isn't sufficient. \"At least it brought to light some of the unfair and deceptive practices and the privacy violations. But it didn't really protect all children and families and consumers in this country, which is the job of the FTC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook isn't the only tech company to engage in this kind of conduct. Apple, Google and Amazon have been accused of similar behavior. Settlement agreements with the FTC required those companies to modify their billing practices to ensure express consent from parents for in-app purchases. The settlements also required tens of millions in refunds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.
