Not that I care, but Joe Biden is wasting an inordinate amount of time on issues that won’t help his re-election. His side has lost all the landmark decisions on Second Amendment issues. It’s not close to being settled yet. We still have some things to clear up regarding the process of obtaining a concealed carry permit—may issue versus shall issue—and reciprocity agreements, but it’s getting there. After that, it’s about holding the line against anti-gun leftists.
