When Brick's are Outlawed

Stanford law professor John Donohue claims to have discovered evidence that the 1994 federal ban on so-called assault weapons "really did work," because mass shootings and the deaths caused by them declined while the law was in effect, then rose afterward. But the methodology Donohue used is suspiciously selective, and his results do not show what he thinks they do. [More]

From the Same Mob That Wants You Declared Unfit to Own a Gun

Trump's mental decline is perfectly clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear [More]
Who would have a more qualified diagnosis for The Hill to offer its megaphone to than a Democrat apparatchik with a BA in Public Policy?
