Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town said President Biden’s new gun laws are overall positive and could help make a difference in violent crime statewide, but adds it could be a while before data shows the drop.
“There is a lot of things in this bill that we can walk away from and say ‘hey. we can feel safer’,” Town said. “There’s not going to be any big swing that is going to knock out 95% of the violent crime in this country. That’s just not how criminality works, but little by little, we can make a dent in it.”“If this law had been in place, it’s very possible that Salvador Ramos in Uvalde, Texas would not have been able to purchase two AR-15s,” Town said.
“I think that any record after the age of 18 was not enough, not extensive enough for background checks,” he said. “The fact that we have the ability to run background checks on individuals that we previously were not able to run background checks on, I think is very important.” “Taking firearms out of the hands of violent individuals is always going to be a good thing,” Town said.

Former Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson to testify at Jan. 6 hearing, sources sayFormer White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who was a top adviser to former President Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, is expected to testify Tuesday before the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol attack, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The committee announced on Monday that a newly scheduled hearing on Tuesday would 'present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony' -- but the committee did not say who that witness would be. Through her scheduled testimony, Hutchinson is expected to put a voice to many of the internal White House interactions involving the events of Jan. 6 that have been reported publicly, and offer significant insight into Meadows' actions and interactions with Trump on Jan. 6 and in the days before and after, sources said.
