STATES' RIGHTS: Obama Urged to Veto Gun Bill.

Two lawmakers are calling on President Obama to issue a veto threat against gun legislation working its way through Congress that would make it easier for people to carry concealed handguns across state lines, signifying growing concern among Democrats that the measure may reach the president's desk. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey and Representative Carolyn McCarthy of New York sent a letter to President Obama on Wednesday calling the legislation a ''dangerous measure'' and saying its passage would weaken state gun laws.
