Bridging the Divide on Guns a Bridge to Nowhere

Summary

This article critically examines a program by Tufts University professor Dr. Michael Siegel, called "Bridging the Divide," which aims to propose gun control measures for red states. The program suggests a five-year firearm ban for violent misdemeanors in exchange for restoring rights for non-violent felons. The author argues that these proposals are a deceptive attempt at "citizen disarmament," noting the lack of 'no compromise' gun rights advocates in the group and the secrecy around its funding, while criticizing its focus on state-level policies which disregard the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.
