U.S. lawmakers are advocating for the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025, which would prohibit the import, sale, and possession of semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition devices, while grandfathering existing owners. The proposal has significant Democratic support but faces strong opposition and is unlikely to advance in Congress.

The Federalist: Norway Proves Paid Leave Won't Make Families Bigger Or Happier
Prominent conservatives are advocating for new family policies to address America's declining birthrate, including proposals for paid leave. However, critics argue that such policies may empower the state rather than support families, as evidenced by Norway's experience with similar programs.
Norway's paid leave system, initially designed for parental choice, has evolved into a mandatory structure that enforces gender equality, resulting in dissatisfaction among parents. The push for higher female employment has coincided with rising psychiatric issues among children, raising concerns about the effectiveness of these policies in truly supporting families.
