Yes, the Biden administration really will come after your guns
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 9 hours ago
A year-old, but only just released interview with then Presidential candidate Joe Biden reveals the extent of his determination to move against gun-owners. The National Rifle Association is flat-out accusing the paper of burying the interview because it would have been too damaging to the Biden campaign, and since the paper itself hasn’t explained why the editorial board waited a year to release a full transcript, that explanation is as good as any at the moment. The paper’s interview with Biden covers a lot of ground, but gun control is one of the first issues that the edito...

*Rand Paul* *Politics, Americas* I have continuously led the fight to reassess our foreign policy, to end our “forever war,” and bring our fighting forces home. After almost twenty years, we have lost over 7,000 killed, suffered over 50,000 wounded, and spent over $5.4 trillion, in Iraq and Afghanistan alone. And that doesn’t even account for our total human and monetary costs in the greater Middle East over the same period of time.
