This week Americans should be mourning the ordinary men and women who have given their lives for their freedom on the streets of Tehran, not some washed-up celebrity child molester.
It didn’t take long for the new administration to start pushing more gun control. This time, they are trying to blame scary “assault weapons” for the violence we’ve seen in Mexico:
