• the DC Police dealing guns that show up in crimes, and the ATF’s response to that;
• NRA members getting exempted from the pistol brace ban;
• 2A sanctuary counties in Colorado being less likely to utilize red flag laws;
• declining gun sales in 2024;
• Hawaii banning ammo sales to people under 21;
• David Hogg spending over a million dollars of his PAC’s money on everything except its mission;
• and a 3D printed .50 BMG rifle. What’s the worst that could happen?
