Hours after November’s Paris attacks as suspicion arose that one of the dead terrorists was a Syrian refugee, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., told his staff it was time to act on a proposal he’d been mulling: to temporarily block some asylum-seekers until more security checks are added to the United States’ national refugee-screening regime.
Republicans in the House of Representatives who quickly pushed through a bill late last year to temporarily halt Syrian and Iraqi refugees from entering the United States want the Senate majority leader to bring up the measure for a vote soon after the upper body reconvenes Monday.
Brandon Cupp, owner of Cerberus Firearms on Jake Alexander Boulevard, said his wife Ashleigh pretty much runs the local gun show.
They used to hold the gun show in Lexington, but had to move the show to Salisbury because of a gun sale that happened in the parking lot of the show. One person bought a gun from an unlicensed seller and then got charged with possession of a stolen firearm when he went back home to Florida.
At their gun shows now, the deputies who help with security are told to watch the parking lot to help keep all gun sales inside the building.
