Federal background check system in spotlight after Highland Park shooting
CNN
America is grappling yet again with the devastating fallout from an episode of gun violence -- this time after a deadly July Fourth parade shooting that has renewed public outcry over firearm policy in the United States.
Hours after gunfire upended the parade in Highland Park, Illinois, killing seven people and wounding dozens more, police apprehended the man they believe was responsible.
The incident has focused attention on -- and renewed questions over -- access to firearms in the United States under existing law and screening processes in order to prevent gun violence.

A number of Jeffrey Epstein survivors voiced their concern in a private meeting with female Democratic lawmakers earlier this week about the intermittent disclosure of Epstein-related documents and photos by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, sharing that the selective publication of materials was distressing, four sources familiar with the call told CNN.
