    Alternate timeline (with by me):

    President Bernie Sanders announced that he will be signing the sweeping gun reform legislation that has been the focus of his second term in office. Following the success of the MFAA (Medicare For All Act) signed in his previous term, this bill is expected to responsibly balance 2nd Amendment rights with common sense restrictions on the availability of automatic weapons.

    While Republicans decry the new requirement for mandatory liability insurance for gun owners as overreach, safety experts maintain that these new regulations will reduce gun related injuries and mitigate their damages substantially.

    In related news, the Future of America Act has passed with a strong 64% in the Senate. If implemented, it will increase government subsidies on green energy manufacturing by up to 300%. It would also reform the funding allocation process for public education, improving federal school funding efficiency and freeing up tens of millions of salary of current waste for redistribution to schools who need it the most.
