The Epoch Times: Less Than 10 Percent of Pistol Braces Registered With ATF by Deadline
Only a small fraction of pistol stabilizing braces have been registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) by the May 31 deadline, despite a rule stating that pistols equipped with these devices may be converted into short-barreled rifles, which are regulated and subject to tax under the National Firearms Act. An estimated 3 million to 40 million pistol owners are believed to possess such devices, while only 255,162 have registered them so far. The ATF has not indicated how it will enforce the rule or commented on the ongoing litigation, but parties to at least three lawsuits are currently protected.
The relatively low number of registered pistol stabilizing brace owners reflects concerns with compliance, and some believe this is a sign of resistance against tighter gun control laws. The stabilizing brace was originally used to assist the disabled and has been popular among gun enthusiasts for its practical utility. Critics of the rule argue that the pistol stabilizing brace is not a weapon in itself and suggest it is strange that the ATF would choose to regulate it as if it were. ATF agents and judges have given owners of unregistered pistol stabilizing braces some leeway, and conservatives have used the issue as fuel against anti-gun agendas. Nevertheless, three lawsuits have been filed so far and await their verdicts, even as thousands continue to use their stabilizing braces without registering them.
The American Spectator: The COVID Blame Game Lives On
Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik criticized three highly credentialed epidemiologists for their role in the Great Barrington Declaration, which recommended "focused protection" instead of universal lockdowns. The declaration warned of negative health consequences beyond COVID from lengthy lockdowns, including lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, and deteriorating mental health. Despite the declaration being right, Hiltzik wants the three experts punished for shunning masks and school closures despite the non-evidence of their effectiveness. The lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health and school closures have robbed children of their education.
The Epoch Times: 8 Republican Presidential Hopefuls Attend Iowa 'Roast and Ride' Event, Trump Notably Absent
Republican presidential hopefuls attended the “Roast and Ride” event in Iowa, with former President Donald Trump notably absent. The attendees included former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and others. DeSantis defended his ongoing feud with Disney during his 2024 presidential launch, which Hernandez claims was due to a clash over a Florida bill that made it illegal to discuss sex and gender identity with children below fourth grade.
The Epoch Times: California Lawmakers Think Parents Aren’t Paying Attention as They Eradicate Parental Rights
California Assembly Bill 665 sponsored by Wendy Carrillo and Scott Wiener, allows children ages 12 and older to be taken from their parents to receive mental health services without parental consent, regardless of whether there is any evidence of abuse or neglect. Although Carrillo claims the bill is for equity and tackling discrimination, the code it is amending show that it allows children to be placed in residential shelters without parental consent, thus decimating parental rights. This bill empowers a child, along with their mental health provider, to decide that they cannot go home without any evidence of abuse or wrongdoing; a mechanism to find parents implicitly “abusive” for not transitioning their children, without coming right out and saying it.
The American Spectator: There Can Be No Mandate Without the Public’s Trust
Obama won his campaign on a vague platform, "Hope and Change," and was short on details. When specific policies were made clear, such as Obamacare, voters showed dissatisfaction. Obama pushed for the law to be passed despite opposition and betrayed the trust of many Americans. To truly win in America, respect for the citizens and process is crucial. It's essential to share truth and earn the faith of the people. Acting recklessly with their faith hurts more than the hurt of fiscal irresponsibility. Heritage and piety must be emulated to lead appropriately.

The American Spectator: Nicaragua Continues Anti-Catholic Crackdown
The White House condemns the persecution of Catholics by Nicaragua's regime, with the National Security Council Coordinator denouncing the targeting of Catholic faith leaders, schools, and dioceses. The Ortega-Murillo regime has closed Catholic institutions, including universities and seminaries, arrested, deported, and sentenced Catholic bishops and priests while freezing diocesan bank accounts. Meanwhile, the FBI has been targeting American Catholics since Joe Biden took office, drafting memos to spy on Catholics who attend the Tridentine Mass, labeling them "Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists", and arresting pro-life speaker Mark Houck. The similarities between Nicaragua’s harshly autocratic regime and America’s shadowier political elites are striking.
