Alabama gun control

A bipartisan coalition in Alabama has come together to endorse a public safety package that would ban devices that convert semi-automatic weapons into machine guns. The group of mayors, lawmakers and law enforcement marks a rare consensus on gun restrictions and a departure from years of conflict about how to stem gun violence.

An Alabama man has been charged with capital murder in connection with a July mass shooting in Birmingham that left four people dead and 10 wounded. Twenty-two-year-old Damien McDaniel was also arrested and charged with capital murder in October in connection with a separate quadruple homicide that took place in September.
