Hopefully, the Biden's administration's successful efforts to regulate ghost guns will stand under a Trump administration, since ghost guns cut into the gun industry's profits.

I guess because they're terrified of "Those People"?
Americans vastly overestimate the size of different minority groups! For example, Americans estimated 21% of the country is transgender, but the true proportion is just 1%.
