Passing legislation under a Democratic-controlled Congress, even with slim majorities, is unlikely. And don’t count on President Biden, a gun rights foe, to sign any bill into law. While efforts may …

Last month, I argued how gun control policies run contrary to President Joe Biden’s pledge for unity.
