OK, “Gun Control” Had Its Chance — Here Are The Results

2026-04-28T09:49:16.086-07:00

In the wake of Cole Tomas Allen’s alleged attempt to assassinate US president Donald Trump and/or other political officials, journalists, and general-purpose celebrities come the usual calls for “gun control” because that’s just how things work.

The deadline for filing US federal income tax returns falls (usually) on April 15, a date that’s worked its way into the American vocabulary as “tax day.” That’s really not a very accurate term.
