lana zak, abcn, w president obama is taking his push for stronger gun control measures to the american people. the president headlined a national televised town hall meeting on guns thursday night outside washington. the white house says the meeting was intended, in part, to garner public support for the president’s recent executive actions on guns. those changes are designed to expand background checks to cover more gun purchases made online and at gun shows … … as well as make it easier for the f-b-i to complete such checks efficiently. a white house spokesman says the president also intended to debunk claims by some republicans that his intent is to take guns away from law-abiding americans. obama has said he believes in and is committed to the constitutional right to bear arms and even compared it to traffic safety. ” “in the same way that we don’ eliminate all traffic accidents, but over the course of 20 years, traffic accidents get lower. there’s still tragedies, there’s still drunk drivers, there’s still people who don’t wear their seatbelts, but over time that violence was reduced and so families are spared. that’s the same thing we can do with gun ownership.” a new poll suggest most americans support president obama’s recent executive actions on guns. the c-n-n o-r-c poll shows 67- percent of those surveyed say they favor the changes the president announced last week. those changes are designed to expand background checks to cover more gun purchases made online and at gun shows … … as well as make it easier for the f-b-i to complete such checks efficiently. but not all the polling news is good. fifty-seven percent of those polled said they don’t believe the executive actions will be effective in reducing gun- related deaths in the u-s. with a little more than a month to go before pope francis’ visit to juarez — the anticipation — and excitement is building. abc-7 confirmed that one of the watch parties for the mass will be at the sun bowl. at a news conference in juarez yesterday – the diocese of el paso confirmed the location. also at yesterday’s new conference, church officials again asked for more volunteers to put together the massive event in juarez. there will be u-s bishops traveling to mexico to see the pope, but el paso’s parishioners could have a hard time attending the mass. the mass is free — but you’ll need a ticket. the juarez diocese will first give out 400 tickets to each of its parishes. then it will give the el paso diocese an allotment of tickets. they add there will be a cost to that event at the sun bowl to help pay for the venue. the juarez diocese spokesman says the best way to participate and to see pope francis is to volunteer for the human chain that will be set up along the pope’s route. people as far as phoenix have already offered to help. church officials also want to warn parishoners of scams that are offering tickets to the mass. the el paso diocese says people are being sold fake tickets to pope francis’ mass in juarez. again tickets are not available yet. they will be free and the diocese will not be selling them: more than 3 months on the run — finally came to an end for a man wanted for murder deputies with the u-s marshals say 38- year old carlos alberto lozano turned himself in yesterday afternoon at the bridge of the americas. he’s accused of shooting and killing 32 year- old jorge hinojos after a fight at pockets billiards in west el paso. the shooting happened last september. authorities say lozano fled to mexico — but that persistent pressure from both sides of the border — wore him down. the mother convicted of killing her baby was again granted bond — as she awaits a new trial. 25-year-old lindsay hradek was released from prison on bond back in november after being granted a new trial. but she was arrested christmas day at an el paso motel for allegedly violating the terms of her bond. at yesterday’s hearing — her attorney asked she be allowed to live with her father while she awaits trial — but the judge instead increased her bond to 50- thousand dollars. prosecutors they had evidence she was working at a strip club and hanging out with people with criminal records, both violate the terms of her bond. prosecutors also say hradek never met in person with her parole officer claiming she was ill but she never provided a doctor’s note. hradek’s attorney spoke about the prosecution’s claims: “i don’t think that was a fai consideration at this point but i think the judge did was she thought was appropriate,so.” in 2012 — hradek’s 2- month old son was found dead — strapped to a carseat upside down — covered with pillows. she and the boy’s father were allegedly high on cocaine that night. in august she was sentenced to 13 years in prison — but in november she was granted a new trial which the district attorney is appealing. today we are hearing from dona ana county officials about an extreme animal hoarding case. on
