The Trump administration will allow the sale of forced-reset triggers, which make semiautomatic rifles fire more rapidly, with the federal government ending a long-standing ban as part of a settlement that also requires it to return seized devices.DEMOCRAT GUN CONTROL PUSH PERSISTS WITH REINTRODUCTION OF ASSAULT WEAPONS BANThe agreement announced Friday by the Justice Department resolves a series of cases over the aftermarket trigger that the government had previously argued qualify as machine guns under federal law.The settlement is a dramatic shift in Second Amendment policy under the Republican administration, which has signaled it may undo many of the regulations that the previous administration of Democratic President Joe Biden had fought to keep in place in an effort to curb gun violence."This Department of Justice believes that the 2nd Amendment is not a second-class right," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.Gun control advocates said the settlement would worsen gun violence."The Trump administration has just effectively legalized machine guns. Lives will be lost because of his actions," said Vanessa Gonzalez, vice president of government and political affairs at GIFFORDS, a gun control group.There have been several legal battles over forced-reset triggers, which replace the typical trigger on an AR-15-style rifle. The government for years had argued they are essentially illegal machine gun conversion devices because constant finger pressure on the triggers will keep a rifle firing essentially like an automatic.The deal announced Friday was between the Justice Department and Rare Breed Triggers, which was previously represented by David Warrington, Trumps current White House counsel. Rare Breed Triggers argued that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was wrong in its classification and ignored demands to stop selling the triggers before being sued by the Biden administration."This victory is a landmark moment in the fight against unchecked government overreach," Lawrence DeMonico, the group's president, said in a statement. "The ATF and DOJ tried to silence and bury us not because we broke the law, but because I refused to bend to the will of a tyrannical administration."NRA LEGISLATIVE EXPERT SAYS GUN RIGHTS COULD SEE 'MOST MONUMENTAL' WIN IN CONGRESS SINCE 2005Under the settlement, Rare Breed Triggers has agreed not to develop such devices to be used on handguns, according to the Justice Department. The settlement requires the ATF to return triggers that it had seized, or that owners had voluntarily surrendered to the government.

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was even more demented than we knew.Last night, excerpts leaked from Bidens October 2023 interview with Robert Hur, the federal prosecutor who investigated him for possessing classified documents.They are awful. They show a man in severe cognitive decline. Biden couldnt recall even basic facts, like when elections are held. Yes, Joe Biden who had lusted for the presidency his entire life thought Donald Trump had won in November 2017, not 2016. It wasnt a verbal slip. He didnt know. An aide had to correct him.BIDEN REPEATEDLY SAYS I DONT REMEMBER' REGARDING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN NEWLY RELEASED HUR INTERVIEW AUDIOEven that summary doesnt capture Bidens struggles.What he says is bad. How he says it is worse. His voice is weak and whispery. He goes silent for stretches, loses his train of thought, offers oddly emotional asides about his son Beau though he could not remember when Beau died. He seems not to remember being vice president; he speaks of being a senator and then jumps to running for president.In the end, the classified documents investigation went nowhere. (Like the similar case involving Donald Trump, it shouldnt have). But along the way, Hur a well-respected prosecutor who had been the U.S. Attorney for Maryland in Trumps first term discovered something far more important: proof of Bidens incapacity.The Hur interview is so crucial because Biden and his handlers went to such lengths to protect Biden from press or public scrutiny even before the 2020 election.Biden used teleprompters for his speeches, of course. His press conferences were rare and closely scripted. He had been told what questions would be asked in advance. Bidens few unscripted, live interactions visible to the public generally came when he left the White House to walk to Marine One. He would occasionally stumble over to the "gaggle" of reporters yelling questions at him and speak for a few seconds.Hurs interview with Biden was likely the only time during Bidens entire presidency when he faced lengthy questioning he could not control. It shows why Biden and his handlers tried so hard to avoid similar situations.Hur wrote in his report on the investigation last year that Biden was "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." The audio suggests that description was kind.You wouldnt trust the guy in this interview to drive to the grocery store.Biden had the nuclear codes.Still worse, Hur interviewed Biden in 2023. If Biden and the people around him had had their way, he would have been president through January 2029. The interview suggests hell be nearly vegetative by then if he lives that long.When the Justice Department released Hurs report on his investigation in February 2024, the legacy media immediately downplayed its importance and attacked Hurs motives."In what is supposedly a legal document, these inclusions certainly looked gratuitousto say the least," the New Yorker wrote in an article about Bidens "righteous fury" over the report.Two days later, the Washington Post would claim in a headline Hur had a "five-hour face-off" with Biden and write:"Hurs description of Bidens demeanor as that of a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" would infuriate Bidens aides, who saw it as sharply at odds with what occurred as the president sat for voluntary questioning."Sharply at odds, huh?I have written before about the medias dereliction of duty in covering Bidens decline, both before and after the Hur report, which continued until his disastrous June 27 debate in Atlanta made covering for him impossible. And I will come back to the medias failure. Hurs report made clear that Bidens cognitive impairment was severe and the White House was covering it up. That scheme should have been the story of the 2024 campaign from the moment the report became public.This is not 20/20 hindsight on my part. On Feb. 9, 2024, the day the report came out, I wrote that it actually might be WORSE for Biden than an actual indictment.Most of the media looked the other way, even as Bidens flubs and lapses visibly worsened in the spring of 2024 despite the protective cocoon around him. But the legacy media is only the second-most important villain here.It was Biden and the people around him, most notably his wife Jill and son Hunter, who insisted that he was fit to serve, and would continue to be until he was 86. Both Jill and Hunt had their reasons. Jills lust for the trappings of power would be almost comic in its nakedness if it werent so dangerous; Hunter has champagne taste and a beer budget (or, more accurately in his case, cocaine taste and a meth budget).But, of course, all of them, including Biden, knew the truth. If they hadnt, they wouldnt have gone to such great lengths to hide it.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONImagine if Biden had won. Imagine if he had somehow found his way through his debates with Trump and then gone back to the presidential cocoon. Imagine if the media had insisted through Election Day that the videos showing his decline were merely "cheap fakes" - as it did throughout the spring. Wed be approaching a Constitutional crisis. Our system is not parliamentary; it has no way to replace an unfit President quickly or easily. And in running for a second term when he did not have to, Biden showed that he would not give up power unless he was forced to do so.Robert Hur spoke truth to power. Hes a hero.

Just hours after President Donald Trump concluded his Middle East visit, Irans Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday launched a tirade against America and Israel, charging that Trump is a liar and calling for the destruction of the Jewish state."Trump said he wants to use power for peace. He's lying," wrote Khamenei on X, adding, "Some of the remarks made during the US Presidents trip to the region arent even worth a response at all. The level of those remarks is so low that they are a source of shame for the American nation."Washington has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism since the 1980s. The rabidly anti-Western and antisemitic ayatollah called the Jewish stateAmericas key ally in the Middle East a "cancerous tumor" that must be uprooted.According to the Trump administration, Khameneis regime is the worlds leading state-sponsor of antisemitism.TRUMP PRAISES SAUDI ARABIA IN FIRST STOP ON MIDDLE EAST TRIPKhamenei also took aim at the Sunni Arab countries that are allied with the U.S. in the Mideast, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar."This failed model, where Arab states are told they cant survive ten days without US support, is being imposed again. But it will collapse, and America will leave this region."The wily 86-year-old revolutionary Islamist said that Washington aimed to promote Sunni Arab dependency on Washington. "The US wants these countries unable to function without it thats the message in their behavior and their proposals."Khamenei also accused America of using its resources to attack the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip."The US has used its power to massacre in Gaza, to stoke war wherever possible, and to arm its mercenaries," said Khamenei. The U.S.-designated terrorist movement, Hamas, is a strategic partner of Irans regime. Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, and slaughtered over 1,200 people, including many Americans.TRUMP SAYS HE'LL DROP SANCTIONS ON SYRIA IN MOVE TO NORMALIZE RELATIONSDuring his trip to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, Trump called Irans regime the main force of instability in the Middle East."The biggest and most destructive of these forces is the regime in Iran, which has caused unthinkable suffering in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Yemen and beyond, "said Trump in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Alireza Nader, a Washington, D.C., expert on Iran's regime, told Fox News Digital that Iran "has been dealt a severe military setback by Israel, and the Iranian public desires the regimes overthrow. President Trump has an overwhelming advantage in the negotiations and could severely restrict and limit the regimes nuclear program."Trump said he wants a deal with Iran to stop its illegal nuclear weapons program. In his speech, Trump told Iran that it must abandon its drive to build an atomic bomb."While you have been constructing the world's tallest skyscrapers in Jeddah and Dubai, Tehran's 1979 landmarks are collapsing into rubble," Trump said. "[Irans] corrupt water mafia . . . causes droughts and empty riverbeds. They get rich."
