With each mass shooting, the political discussion turns to background checks. The law can vary depending on several factors. One thing many Americans wonder is: how do these background checks work?When you buy a gun from a federally licensed seller, you’ll almost always have to submit to a background check.Once you pick out the gun you want to buy, you fill out paperwork. It’ll ask the usual: name, address and birthday. But the application also asks about criminal history, substance use and mental health. Lying on that application is a felony that can come with major fines and incarceration.Once the application is filled out, the gun seller submits it to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. It scans three databases for information and usually gives an answer within minutes."Approved" means the seller can move ahead. "Canceled" or "denied" would stop a potential sale. But the result could also be “delayed." That means the FBI has three days to further investigate before giving an answer.If the seller doesn’t hear anything within three days, they are legally able to sell the applicant a gun. Some say that’s an issue with the system.Gun sellers can also turn away sales if they feel uncomfortable about the way a potential buyer is acting or talking.State laws can be different and, sometimes, trump federal law.Critics say the whole system falls short. They point out a denied check — and sale — doesn’t stop the person from trying to buy a gun in other ways. 1514

Wrapping Christmas presents can be time-consuming, but there are some tricks to get it done faster, so you can focus on enjoying the holiday season. It’s common to cut wrapping paper too short or to not have enough paper left to wrap a gift. Giftwrapping expect Kammy Witulski says don’t throw it out. Instead, turn the gift sideways and you should be able to wrap with no issues. If you don’t have wrapping paper or if it’s too expensive, Witulski says there’s nothing wrong with using tissue paper. “Tissue paper comes in really nice packaging these days,” said Witulski. “You can get multiple designs in one package for just a few dollars. And it's usually between 20 to 30 sheets per package and that's plenty for you to do a lot of giftwrapping."However, you’ll need to remember to use two to three sheets, so you don’t see the gift and the tissue doesn't rip. Soft items like clothes can be hard to wrap, especially if you don’t have a box. Witulski suggests using two sheets of tissue. Roll the item, place it on the tissue and then start to roll up the clothes into the tissue, making it look like a piece of candy. Use ribbon to tie the ends, and it's the perfect little Christmas treat.Lastly, if the edges of your presents look a little wonky because the they're not crisp and clean, Witulski says to hide your lack of wrapping skills by using double sided tape, so nobody will notice mismatched folds. 1425

Zhivargo Laing has lived in the Bahamas all of his life. “I grew up on Grand Bahama,” says the Freeport, Bahamas resident. Just a week ago, Hurricane Dorian made landfall as a Category 5 storm, flattening homes on the islands. “This level of damage to all of these structures, we have not seen before,” Laing says.Laing and his nephew, Ellison Laing, are still dealing with the devastation the hurricane left behind.“The water came to our waist, inside the house,” describes Ellison Laing.More than 4,800 people have been evacuated, and more people are waiting to be evacuated. Shelters are over max capacity. One woman in the shelter is not only grieving the loss of her home, but her loved ones as well.“I had three people pass in my family: my brother and my mom and my [cousin],” she says.Fifty people have been confirmed dead following the hurricane. There are still 1,300 people missing.In Freeport, located 50 miles away from Abaco, the majority of homes are without power and running water, making it difficult to begin the rebuilding process. “Yeah, they said it’s contaminated, says Ellison Laing of the water.“When the water came up, so did the septic, actually came up, too.”So, for now, the family has to wait. Once they can start rebuilding, they know Bahamians will step up to help one another. “If you would have been out there, you would have seen people helping people, whether living or dead,” says Ron Rickson, an Abaco resident.Because through tragedy, the Bahamian people are strong. 1517
