Assault on Firearms Industry Continues

7:00am Monday, May 24, 2021

Joe Biden mentioned a number of the anti-gun goals he has set during his recent address to Congress, but for some reason, he did not mention his support for bankrupting the firearms industry through endless, meritless lawsuits.

Biden Goes All in On Calls for Extreme Gun Control

7:00am Wednesday, May 19, 2021

President Biden dropped any pretense at “moderation” in his first address to a joint session of Congress since assuming the presidency.
