And when it comes to England’s vaunted “gun control,” as I’ve long maintained, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Biden calls son Hunter’s ‘resilience’ amid gun trial charges ‘inspiring’ [More]
Now let you get caught gaming NICS.
The gaslighting hypocrisy from these people is so in-your-face it stuns, which means it’s working.
