One of the biggest coups in the gun control movement over the past few years has taken place outside of the legislative arena.
The anti-gun website The Trace, which was founded (and continues to be funded, at least in part) by Everytown for Gun Safety/Mayors Against Illegal Guns/former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg has ingratiated itself within the mainstream media and now routinely partners with outlets like USA Today and VICE News to put their pro-gun control spin on the news, even though these outlets would never consider working with a website or independent newsroom that takes a pro-Second Amendment position.
The latest pairing between The Trace and the mainstream media resulted in a new story about the rush to sell (and buy) 80% frames and receivers as well as DIY gun-making kits that may soon be subjected to new ATF rules.
