Americans' anxiety about their finances is worsening across the board, but rural residents are more pessimistic: according to a new Pew Research Center report, only 36 percent of rural Americans believe their financial situation will improve in the future, as opposed to almost half of those living in urban and suburban areas, Jacob Passy reports for MarketWatch.
Months after a deadly Las Vegas shooting, seven states banned the sale and possession of bump stocks, which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at the rate of fully automatic rifles, and several other states are expected to pass bans soon. But states that have passed the ban are having a hard time enforcing it. New Jersey residents were supposed to turn in or destroy their bump stocks by mid-April, but "So far, New Jersey State Police say, they have not received a single one," Matt Vasilogambros reports for Stateline.
"For all the ways Americans are divided today along urban and rural lines, the two groups are at least united in this: Majorities of both, according to a new Pew Research Center survey, believe that everyone else is looking down on them," Emily Badger reports for The New York Times.
