They just forfeited the right to say every shooting is a "mental health issue".
Trump just shut down all the school mental health programs and neighborhood anti-violence programs funded by the 2022 gun bill. Millions of kids just lost their mental health worker or after school program. It’s inhumane, illogical and illegal. You need to hear this story.

The alternative here would be hard to fathom. A massive win for public safety.
NEW at SCOTUS: Court rules 7-2 that ghost guns can be regulated by the ATF as firearms. Alito and Thomas dissent.

When the FBI searched Jan. 6 defendant Jeremy Brown's home, they discovered illegal grenades, a sawed-off shotgun and classified information he retained after leaving the army. Today, DOJ says Donald Trump's pardon for Jan. 6 issues covers all of that.

NEW: The Justice Department now says Donald Trump’s sweeping pardons for Jan. 6 rioters covers unrelated gun charges some faced after the FBI searched their homes. It’s moving to drop felony charges against Daniel Ball and Elias Costianes. https://t.co/9IqdKWZ2pA

NOTABLE: DOJ determines that a Jan. 6 defendant who was convicted of a firearm offense based on a search of his home must return to prison because the firearm charge is NOT covered by Trump's pardon. This was a point of contention among J6ers. https://t.co/mg20t4DsHr

At least three lawsuits have now been filed in federal court in Washington, seeking to shut down DOGE until it complies with federal transparency rules related to governmental advisory entities.
NEW: Government watchdog groups, led by Public Citizen, have sued the Trump admin to ensure that DOGE complies with federal transparency laws. The suit alleges that Trump and his Office of Management and Budget are violating the Federal Advisory Committee Act "because DOGE's

New ATF data reveals a stark 784% increase in machine gun conversion device recoveries at crime scenes from 2017-2023. Glock pistols are uniquely easy to convert into machine guns with these devices and—unsurprisingly—remain the top crime guns in the nation.

Thoughts and prayers were never enough. I'm proud to have established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and taken bold executive action to keep guns out of dangerous hands and dangerous weapons off our streets. Congress, it's your turn to act.

A New Hampshire-based gun maker, KBC Capital, was found guilty and sentenced for illegally selling gun silencer parts. The company deceptively marketed silencers as “muzzle brakes” to get around registration and background check requirements. https://t.co/rWrUyvd9UK

Multiple injuries have been reported after shots were fired at a Christian K-12 school in Madison, Wisconsin. It's heartbreaking to see yet another community devastated by gun violence. Schools should be sanctuaries of safety for our children. https://t.co/jKnggkArVz
