I don’t want to say it’s at an all-time high because, well, there was that little tiff back in the 1860s that suggests it might have been a tad worse back then. I mean, 620,000 American lives lost is a bit worse than the rioting we’ve seen in the last few years.

Ruggerio, who’s earned an “A”-rating from the National Rifle Association in recent years, is now embracing a gun control bill; going so far as calling it a top priority for 2021. The bill would bar those with concealed carry licenses from carrying on school grounds, even if you’re simply driving through a school parking lot to pick up your child.

By now we all know about ATF’s proposed “Objective Factors” document by which the agency intends to determine the classification — pistol or short barreled rifle — of a stabilizer brace-equipped pistol.

Biden gave just one example of how he’d exercise restraint, saying he would resist a suggestion that he “do away with assault weapons.” Said the president-elect, “No one has fought harder to get rid of assault weapons than me, me, but you can’t do it by executive order.
