the gang problem that is tormenting honest people in his hometown as 
he is to blaming law-abiding gun owners for the acts of psychopathic 
murderers."House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, repeated his view that the 
Senate should act, saying, "It's one thing for two members to come 
to some agreement. It doesn't substitute the will for the other 98 
members."In a written statement, Obama said he'd prefer stronger language 
than the compromise, but he said it represented progress."It recognizes 
that there are good people on both sides of this issue, and 
we don't have to agree on everything to know that we've got 
to do something to stem the tide of gun violence," he said.Other 
highlights of Obama's gun agenda -- including bans on assault weapons and 
high-capacity ammunition magazines -- seem to have little chance of winning

backed by industry groups that say businesses are struggling to defend against 
aggressive and sophisticated attacks from hackers in China, Russia and Eastern 
Europe.Privacy and civil liberties groups have long opposed the bill because 
they say it opens America's commercial records to the federal government 
without putting a civilian agency in charge, such as the Homeland Security 
Department or Commerce Department. That leaves open the possibility that 
the National Security Agency or another military or intelligence office 
would become involved, they said. While the new program would be intended 
to transmit only technical threat data, opponents said they worried that 
personal information could be passed along, too.Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff
