Supreme Court TRIES TO FOOL PUBLIC over Trump..CAUGHT!!!
Don’t be fooled by the SCOTUS oral argument on the Biden Administration’s ban on unregistered homemade “ghost guns” without background checks. The right wing of the court remains in the gun lobby’s back pocket, as they occasionally throw a bone to sensible gun control to mislead the public into believing they are not MAGA far-right extremists. Michael Popok breaks down the oral argument and what we can expect in their ruling.
