Bruen was about to go against them, they started working on measures that would still restrict guns as much as they could while following the letter of the ruling. Or what they thought would be the letter of it. A lot of that has been smacked down by lower courts, but they still tried because, in their minds, guns are bad. Not everything has gotten crushed by the courts, though, and so carrying a gun lawfully is still a pain.But for criminals, it’s…

A new U.S. government-funded study involving a new type of highly-scalable, computerized cognitive testing found that a 20-minute self-administered computerized brain health assessment can strongly predict performance on the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT).
