Joe Biden was the star of today’s big gun control plan reveal, but he also gave Attorney General Merrick Garland a chance to shine:
Attorney General Garland: "Although law enforcement plays an important role, gun violence is not a problem that law enforcement alone can solve." https://t.co/op7D78gkpo pic.twitter.com/d6BBm9C1Ud

This sounds promising, doesn’t it?
“Although we’re still gonna be putting a disproportionate number of young Black men behind bars for non/violent, possessory offenses, we’re also gonna hand out some grant money to violence prevention groups to cover our ass.” https://t.co/6ah4rKwhtn

Send out the safety regulators! Their only job will be to protect us from the scary firearms. For our safety. Nothing like police. Regulators are totally different. https://t.co/LTBoFz9oTV

Oh well. At least we can take comfort in knowing that Merrick Garland is every bit the gun expert that Joe Biden is:

First of all, making pistols more stable and accurate seems like a good thing.
But can we talk about this whole “concealable” thing?
Has… Merrick Garland ever seen an AR-15 pistol? https://t.co/cWaEpLXwd0

Perhaps he should hold one up in front of the camera to show how "concealable" they are.
