In President Obama's push to crack down on the abundance of firearms
in America, proposed gun-control legislation may be having the opposite
effect.Updated FBI statistics show that background checks in the first three
months of the year far outpace the number of checks in early
2012. The stats show that from January through March, gun owners went
through 7 million background checks -- compared with just 4.8 million in
the first three months of last year.The spike in checks, coupled with
mounting anecdotal claims that ammunition is hard to come by, comes amid
concern by gun owners that new proposals at the state and federal
level could limit access to firearms.Though supporters of the legislation
say that is not the case, the assurances haven't stopped what statistics
suggest is a run on weapons. The purchases have picked up ever
since Obama's election in 2008. Since 2009, there have been 71 million
background checks logged in the federal system. The annual number has risen

of Puerto Ayacucho on Saturday, crowds shouted "Lights! Lights! Lights"
at Maduro. Newspapers reported that prompted state TV to nearly mute its
crowd-monitoring microphone.Attempts to seek comment from the state-run
electric utility, Corpoelec, were unsuccessful. No one picked up the main
phone. Corpoelec's president is Argenis Chavez, a brother of the late president.
He was quoted by the state news agency on Monday as recognizing
the troubles and promising "a great effort to progressively overcome the
weaknesses" with new investment of more than $1 billion.In Valencia, Martinez
and his wife, Aura, regularly turn off their TV and air conditioner
in anticipation of nightly blackouts. A power spike damaged the air conditioner
about month ago.Asked whether the Chavistas deserve to stay in power, Martinez
set off on a controlled tirade about the worsening challenges of daily
life including food shortages and a halt in deliveries of cooking gas,
for which he now must queue."There's no need to even discuss politics
because there is no need to explain what is right before one's
eyes," he said, motioning at the darkened street.Martinez is voting for
