President Joe Biden has laid out a "comprehensive strategy" to stop gun crime. It will target law-breaking gun dealers, provide federal resources to police departments for gun-crime enforcement and allow communities to repurpose millions of dollars of federal COVID-19 relief funding for programs proven to prevent gun violence. Addressing gun dealers who "willfully" break the law, Biden said, "We will find you and we'll seek your license to sell guns. We'll make sure you can't sell death and mayhem on our streets."
A post showed up on John McAfee’s Instagram page moments after he was reported dead. The post was an image that just showed a black letter “Q” on a white background and appears to be a reference to the QAnon movement, which the controversial antivirus software magnate tweeted about several times over the past few years. The post and all other photos on McAfee's Instagram account have since been deleted. Spanish authorities believe McAfee committed suicide in prison after a court approved his extradition to the U.S. on charges of tax evasion. He was also wanted in Belize for the murder of his neighbor.
