NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he is calling for a "total and complete shutdown" on Muslims entering the United States.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Federal authorities say they're trying to determine how two assault rifles used in the California attack got from a buyer to the shooters. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says Syed Farook bought three guns that have been recovered, including two pistols that he and his wife used in the shooting. The buyer hasn't been charged with a crime and it's unclear if he did anything illegal.
WASHINGTON (AP) — It's a victory for those who support controls on assault-style weapons. The U.S. Supreme court has rejected an appeal from gun owners who challenged a Chicago suburb's ban on assault weapons. The court, though, left in place a lower court ruling that found that local governments have leeway in deciding how to regulate firearms. The federal appeals court in Chicago had upheld the city of Highland Park's 2013 law that bans semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines.
