Democratic Governors Veto GOP Election Integrity Bills Despite Provable Election Fraud Issues
Democratic governors are vetoing election integrity legislation passed by Republican-led state legislatures, despite allegations, investigations, and convictions of election fraud occurring across the U.S. Those convictions require proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the crime, in fact, occurred.
Over the last few months, Democratic governors in Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have vetoed legislation that Republican-led state legislatures passed to help secure elections, arguing that their concerns are unfounded or their solutions unnecessary. However, there has been recent election fraud investigations and convictions in those states that led to the passing of the legislation.

Commentary: ATF Rule Change Creates a Trap for the Unwary
On Friday, the 31st anniversary of the massacre of Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, the ATF issued new regulations that make it more difficult to comply with federal laws regulating gun dealing and background checks.
Since the 1930s, federal law has required gun dealers to be registered as Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL). The requirements hinged on the meaning of "engaged in the business of" gun dealing. This language has always been ambiguous, and there has never been (even after the announcement of the new rules) a true "bright line" that distinguishes when one graduates from selling a few guns from one’s personal collection into full-fledged gun dealing.
