Gun control will be the focus on today's agenda for state lawmakers.

Legislators will consider a resolution opposing the new gun restrictions proposed by President Obama last week.

The House Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs is expected to consider House Resolution 1003, sponsored by freshman Rep. Richard Womack (R) of Arkadelphia, urging the preservation of the Second Amendment.

A Senate committee is also expected to take up a bill known as the Church Protection Act of 2013 that would allow church officials to decide whether they will allow people with concealed handgun permits to carry weapons in places of worship.
