The Daily Signal - What the Media, Politicians, Get Wrong on Guns
In the aftermath of a series of horrible mass shootings across the country, there is a knee-jerk reaction to demonize gun owners and call for sweeping gun control legislation.
But more often than not, those in the media and political classes calling for assault weapon bans and other gun control don't understand the very things they're legislating.
"There's just a complete lack of basic knowledge on the topic of firearms," says Stephen Gutowski. "How they work, how they're regulated, what the politics even are around them, why people oppose different policies that are often put forward in the wake of these shootings."
Gutowski is a firearms reporter and founder of gun news site thereload.com.
He joins this bonus episode of The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss gun laws, and proposed gun control legislation.

When children are released from the Cook County Juvenile Center on Chicago’s Near West Side, they’re expected to be picked up by a guardian. But many kids under the care of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services are not assigned housing and are forced to wait in jail until a guardian arrives — sometimes for months. Reset gets the latest from the WBEZ criminal justice reporter Patrick Smith, who uncovered the story.

Consider This from NPR - A First Step To Crypto Regulation, Or A Step Backwards?
Nearly everyone agrees the cryptocurrency industry needs regulation, but there are huge disagreements about what that should look like.
A Senate bill proposes a new regulatory framework for the industry. Cosponsors Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) argue that their bill hits the "sweet spot" between allowing innovation and protecting consumers.
Software engineer Molly White, who runs the blog Web3 is going just great, says that the bill is too industry-friendly, and puts into legislation the "foggy regulatory space" that crypto companies have taken advantage of.
