Is Charles C. W. Cooke the most dangerous man in America? The Biden administration seems to think so.

Other than the British accent (and maybe that weird extra middle initial), Charlie doesn’t have a lot of attributes that you’d call stereotypically super-villainous. My Beatles-loving, Oxford-educated National Review colleague and Mad Dogs & Englishmen podcasting partner is a young father and confirmed suburbanite, a scholar of rollercoasters who can be found riding around his quiet Florida neighborhood in an electric golf cart — a highly customized golf cart, because Charlie, as he has written here from time to time, is a tinkerer. He likes to build things. And one of the things he likes to build is rifles.
