Old, but seems relevant today.

President Joe Biden on Saturday signed into law the first major federal gun safety legislation passed in decades, marking a significant bipartisan breakthrough on one of the most contentious policy issues in Washington.

“God willing, it’s going to save a lot of lives,” Biden said at the White House as he finished signing the bill.

    This is also a reminder that the media loves shit like this shooting. They want more tabloid photos and don’t care how they get them.

    The package represents the most significant new federal legislation to address gun violence since the expired 10-year assault weapons ban of 1994 – though it fails to ban any weapons and falls far short of what Biden and his party had advocated for, and polls show most Americans want to see.

    This is what we get to be excited about? I’m so tired.

          My friend… I tried. I don’t think it’s allowed to put the date in the title.

            This ain’t R*ddit. You can change the title, as long as it’s for good reason:

            Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive.

            Frankly, adding the date to the title not only complies with the rule, but leaving it omitted arguably violates it by being misleading to the point of misinformation.
