  <description>Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I recap President Trump's latest State of Union address, which was conspicuously light on any discussion of his administration's gun policy approach. We discuss how to interpret that omission. We also cover documents in the Epstein Files that show the convicted sex criminal's pursuit of gun rights restoration numerous times up until his second arrest.

We also discuss a federal court giving the green light to Buffalo mass shooting victims' suit against a gun accessory maker. And we look at how the NRA is using a recent DOJ brief to boost its lawsuit against New Jersey's silencer ban.
