The last domino to fall in President Joe Biden’s gun agenda was toppled by a Fifth Circuit panel.
So, we’re bringing one of the best political writers in the country. Nationals Review’s Charles Cooke is one of the top conservative analysts on both the legal and political side of guns in America. He joins the show to talk about why Biden’s pistol-brace ban was tossed.
Hint: It wasn’t because of the Second Amendment.
Instead, Cooke noted the courts have objected to the ATF overstepping its bounds when creating Biden’s gun policies. He said that fact makes it very likely the Supreme Court would object on the same grounds. That’s because, as presidents from across the political spectrum have taken to expanding the power of executive agencies, the Court has begun to pair back agency overreach.
Cooke argued the losing streak is bad for President Biden’s reelection. Despite what’s shaping up to be an unprecedented 2024 election, which seems likely to include bump stock ban originator Donald Trump, Cooke said the constitutionally-deficient policies will drag Biden down. Especially because the majority of people who’ve heard about them are the ones they negatively affect.
Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I talk about how a Memphis school’s security procedures stopped a mass shooting.
