So, in the wake of the tragedies in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio @RealDonaldChump has decided to offer his backing for legislation mandating “strong” background checks (a proposition supported by vast majorities of American voters) as long as we...
Those of you who read me regularly likely already know that I have been happily, nay, with almost sadistic glee, covering the sudden downfall of the NRA. But it doesn't take any explicit bias on my part, it turns...
