NO WORD ON THEDRIVER OF THE CAR.PRESIDENT BIDEN ANNOUNCINGSEVERAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS TODAYAIMED AT PREVENTING GUN VIOLENCEFOLLOWING A STRING OF MASSSHOOTING FROM GEORGIA TOCOLORADO TO CALIFORNIA ..

APOSSIBLY TONIGHT IN TEXAS..BUTWILL IT THEY HOLD UP IN COURT?WOULD THEY PREVENT THE NEXT MASSSHOOTING?

AND IS THIS JUST THESTART OF MORE RESTRICTIONSCOMING FROM WASHINGTON?

OUR JOEST.

GEORGE WORKING TO GET YOUANSWERS TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS.AFTER RECENT MASS SHOOTINGS INATLANTA, COLORADO AND CALIFORNIAPRESIDENT BIDEN ISSUING 6EXECUTIVE ACTIONS ON GUNCONTROL..
