It’s time once again for one of my favorite parts of the work week: the VIP Gold live chat hosted by Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey and myself. We’ll be taking your questions and comments starting at 1:30 ET today, and we won’t have any shortage of things to talk about, including:

• The gun control stall in Congress
• Ninth Circuit shoots down 2nd Amendment?
• Capitol Hill riot prosecutions an “embarrassment”?
• Matt Gaetz: Suspect or victim?
• COVID-19 status, and vaccine updates
• Mileage tax runs out of gas
