In July 2021, A Gallup poll showed that only 1% of Americans named guns/gun control the most important problem facing the country. Nor is that any unusual polling result. By contrast, 4% of Americans viewed crime/violence as the most important problem.
Even the notoriously anti-gun NORC in a survey last December with the Associated Press found that only 5% of Americans thought gun control was one of the top five problems they wanted the government working on in 2021.…
The president has the power to ban the importation of guns and ammunition, and he is exercising it for ammunition. This new rule will make already costly and difficult to obtain ammunition even more difficult to find. This is part of Biden’s policy to reduce gun ownership by making it more costly, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) claims that up to 8% of ammunition sold in the US comes from Russia.…
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer predicts Democrats will bypass bipartisanship to push through gun control legislation after deadly shootings in Atlanta, Georgia and Boulder, Colorado.

From One America News:
…The Democrat party is so afraid of Donald Trump that its leadership in Congress is weaponizing the constitution a second time in order to politically cripple the 45th President of the United States.
Dr. John Lott discusses Joe Biden’s top legislative priority for gun control during his first 100 days. Besides Real Clear Politics, the piece was published in Epoch Times and The Sun Times (Fairfield, Connecticut).
…“The coming years will decide the survival of our Second Amendment,” President Trump warned before the election.
Andrew Pollack has a new piece at Townhall.
…Democrats now have single-party control of the federal government. President Joe Biden styled himself as the most moderate candidate his party had to offer. And still, during the campaign he promised to put Beto O’Rourke – the man who blurted out “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15s” in charge of his administration’s gun policies.
With shootings up 96% this year, and murders up by 39%, it is understandable that people are concerned about their safety and have been applying for permits to own guns. New Yorkers seem people getting pushed in front of subway trains and getting robbed. They see the violent riots in the city.…
