According to The Hill, Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer is pressing his colleges to avoid gun control legislation and debate under the Republican controlled Congress.

YouTube Changes Community Guidelines, Creates “Gunpocalypse”
I had previously written about YouTube deleting bump fire stock videos from well-known gun channels combined with the doling out of Community Guidelines strikes. Many asked how videos that were not against the Community Guidelines could get strikes. The answer? YouTube changed the guidelines, and as usual, gave no prior warning. The new guidelines are even more vague than the …
