Common ground

The Justice Department says a grand jury charged McCarroll with two firearm offenses; the indictment is not a finding of guilt.

Left

A collective-responsibility lens might emphasize enforcing firearm laws to protect communities while preserving the presumption of innocence.

Center

An evidence-focused lens might stress fair prosecution, reliable proof, and oversight, since charges alone do not establish guilt.

Right

A limited-government lens might emphasize that federal prosecution should rest on established law and evidence, while respecting due process.
