Due to a massive number of Second Amendment news stories, we're having an ACP Round Table to discuss them!

- President Biden speaking at the "Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund’s Gun Sense University Conference" while his son was being convicted (the speech was as boring as you'd expect);
- and an alleged attack thwarted by law enforcement which Weer'd finds fishy.
