Biden Chooses to Rinse and Repeat with New ATF Nominee
Today, the Biden Administration announced the nomination of Steven Dettelbach as the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”), subject to Senate confirmation.

Chasing Futility in a “Lawless Land”

Sacramento Shooting Leads to Ridiculous Anti-gun Response
In the early morning hours of April 3, shooting erupted near the corner of 10th and K Street in downtown Sacramento, Calif. The shooting resulted in the tragic deaths of six people and the wounding of 12 others.
