This conservative pundit and provocateur, who has been in the past convicted of finance campaign fraud. this is not just some nonsense bubbling up from the dark corners of the internet. this is something that has gained traction on the right, even though as you rightly pointed out, at first, there is nobody to this claim that there is a secret network about mules. former attorney general bill barr, trumps own attorney general, said to the general six committee that he had not seen any evidence o...

That we have seen. so incredible to see so much of late. and advocates have worked really hard to do something about it. im been at this work for a long, long time. i know how hard it is. and i know what it takes to get it done. i was there 30 years ago, the last time this nation passed meaningful gun safety laws. and im here today for the most significant law to be passed since then, the last 30 years. i would like to thank the leaders and members of the house and senate for working together to...

Capitol hill. but still, the white house has said that they welcome any type of progress on this issue. now, president biden himself largely stayed out of these negotiations. he was in close contact with one of the lead democratic senate negotiators, senate chris murphy, but the white house and members of congress felt that they needed the space to try to negotiate amongst themselves to get this passed. that is part of how they were able to get those 15 republican senators and 14 republicans in ...

1994 ban on the assault weapons, something that biden himself worked towards as a senator. now the congress put together this package that will enact some new measures that includes enhanced background checks on gun purchases for those under the age of 21. it also closes the so-called boyfriend loophole that ensures that those who have committed acts of domestic violence against nonspouses cannot purchase guns. additionally provides funding for states to implement red flag laws as well as other ...
