Now that Democrats control both Congress and the presidency they have been explaining how they are going be able to get gun control legislation passed.

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.

Joe Biden’s campaign website contains a long list of promised gun control regulations, including:

…MUIR: President Obama, after Sandy Hook, more than 23 executive actions, and yet here we all are today.
