David Keene predicted fail- ure for all congressional mea- sures related to guns, including expanded background checks for gun purchases. "I tell you what these things are. These are all feel-good pro- posals, because at the end of the day, what do they do to prevent" a mass shooter? asked Keene, the NRA's president. Keene was in Denver to talk to Colorado's Democratic gov- ernor, John Hickenlooper, and state lawmakers. He met with The Associated Press for an interview before sitting down with state officials. He talked about prospects for federal gun control measures under discus- sion in Congress and predicted political peril for Democrats who support such bills. "The Senate's where the action's going to be," Keene said. "The House is sort of sitting back, and you can almost hear the House Republican leadership saying under their breath, 'You know, go ahead. We've got a few members that wouldn't mind sit- ting in the Senate. If you do this, maybe they will.' So the Senate leadership is much more cau- tious." Colorado U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat, said he dis- agreed with Keene's assertion that Congress would do nothing. "In the wake of recent mass S H,- shootings, including one in Colo- rado, the status quo on gun vio- lence is simply unacceptable," Udall said in a statement. "Colo- radans expect and deserve bet- ter than continued inaction from Congress. I simply disagree that Congress cannot or should not try to reduce mass shootings and gun violence." In recent weeks, Keene has become an increasingly pub- lic figure for the powerful gun rights group in the ongo- ing debate on gun control. He has offered a softer, if equally staunch voice for the gun lobby's ideas as compared with Wayne LaPierre, the fiery executive vice president who remains the NRA's most prominent voice on the public stage. Keene has been active with the NRA for decades, starting as a board member before being elected the group's president in 2011. WANT TO MAKE HISTORIY?

The search for Christopher Dorner focused late Thurs- day on Big Bear Lake, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where police found a burned-out pick- up truck that belonged to Chris- topher Dorner. San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said officers were going door to door looking for him. Throughout the day, thou- sands of heavily armed officers patrolled highways in the state, while some stood guard outside the homes of people police say Dorner vowed to attack in an angry rant posted online. Elec- tronic billboards that usually alert motorists about the com- mute urged them to call 911 if they saw him. "I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" to Los Angeles Police Department officers, on or off duty, said the manifesto. It also asserted: "Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. That's what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name." Dorner, 33, had multiple weapons including an assault rifle, said Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck, who urged him to surrender at an unusual press conference in an under- ground room at police head- quarters where there was more security than normal. "Of course he knows what he's doing, we trained him. He was also a member of the Armed Forces," he said."It is extremely worrisome and scary." The nearly 10,000-member LAPD dispatched some of its officers to protect more than 40 potential targets across the region on Thursday. The department also pulled officers from motorcycle duty, fearing they would make for easy tar- gets. "I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours," the mani- festo said. At one point, officers guard- ing one location mistakenly opened fire on a pickup truck believing it matched the description of Dorner's dark col- ored 2005 Nissan Titan, injur- ing two innocent occupants. The chief said there had been a "night of extreme tragedy in the Los Angeles area" and that the department was taking mea- sures to ensure the safety of offi- cers and their families. The search for Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in2008 for making false statements, began after he was linked to a weekend killing in which one of the victims was the daughter of a former police captain who had represented him during the dis- ciplinary hearing. Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, were found shot in their car at a parking structure at their condominium on Sunday in Irvine. Quan, 28, was an assistant women's bas- ketball coach at Cal State Fuller- ton. Lawrence, 27, was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. Police said Dorner implicated himself in the couple's killings in the manifesto posted on Face- book. They believe he wrote it because there were details in it only he would know. 0 Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck comments on Officer Christopher Dorner.
