President Joe Biden released a statement Tuesday on the Michigan State University attack and he called for an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, universal background checks, and myriad other gun controls.
The type of firearm used in the MSU attack has not yet been reported by police, nor has the means by which the attacker acquired said gun.
Biden noted the MSU attack occurred one day before the fifth anniversary of the Parkland high school shooting, saying, “The fact that this shooting took place the night before this country marks five years since the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, should cause every American to exclaim “enough” and demand that Congress take action.”

“The correct headline should be BIDEN’S SPEECH WRITER WROTE THE FOLLOWING…. Because Biden cannot think for himself or even attempt to write a speech.”
Damn straight!
Every article, about anything regarding this administration should be prefaced as such . . .
Uh, NO resident Huggies.
Stop infringing on my rights just because “somebody did something.”
Go entertain thyself.

I'm not a betting type of person, but I'd be willing to wager that the number of lives lost in the US in the fight that WILL come when you finally go for that final total ban, will be far larger than you'll ever see made up by your "safer neighborhoods". As always, your feel-good slogans will only lead to more dead people, not fewer.
This unelected moron is a disgrace.
I’m with Pedo Joe;
‘Enough!’

Nation WIDE CONCEALED CARRY!

MY BODY MY CHOICE!
Anyone not yet convinced that anti-gun pols want us as slaves is trying not to think.
Felon who triggers existing background check rules? Released early on weapons charges? Uses a handgun? In a “no-gun” zone again?
Trot out the leftists disarmament plan regardless!
We should push for brain activity in Joe.
I have an easy way to target most of the ones that need to be disarmed to make us and our kids safe - it’s called the Democrat Voter Registry 😎
MSU was a GFZ. If he wanted the mass shootings to stop, he’d ban GFZs. But he doesn’t.
Oh bosh, Resident biden!!!!
When will Joe/Hunter/Jill/James all get Background checks???
Amendment V
No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; ..."
Wasn't there some provision, maybe part of the Lautenberg amendment, that said if were convicted of any crime that you COULD HAVE BEEN sentenced to a year or more then you become a prohibited person? I disagree if that is the law but I seem to recall something like that.
“...should cause every American to exclaim “enough”...”
Enough....OF YOU!
I think it was the filthy LBJ GCA of 1968 that did it.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that Congress has the express constitutional power to not only impeach and remove presidents from office, but also to override presidential vetoes.
In other words, anti-2nd Amendment (2A) career federal Democratic and RINO lawmakers are scapegoating a puppet president to do their dirty work to weaken 2A protections imo.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court had indicated in United States v. Cruikshank (Cruikshank) that the main purpose of 2A is to identify the untrusted federal government as a possible "enemy" of the people (my words).
"The second and tenth counts are equally defective. The right there specified is that of "bearing arms for a lawful purpose." This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress [emphasis added]. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government, leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow citizens of the rights it recognizes, to what is called, in The City of New York v. Miln, 11 Pet. 139, the "powers which relate to merely municipal legislation, or what was, perhaps, more properly called internal police," "not surrendered or restrained" by the Constitution of the United States." —United States v. Cruikshank, 1875.
In my opinion, not only have the states never expressly constitutionally given the corrupt feds the specific power to make peacetime, non-militia-related, restrictive gun laws, but the Court's clarification of 2A in Cruikshank means that the amendment protects citizens from having to let the feds know anything about their personal firepower, or qualifications to use that firepower (state power issues now limited by 14th Amendment (14A).
Excerpted from 14A:
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
H O W E V E R...
Also, consider that the states gave Congress the 14A power to make peacetime, gun-related laws (Oh-Noes!).
H O W E V E R again...
The great irony concerning the fed's 14A power to "regulate" firearms is this. Fourteenth Amendment limits Congress's power to make "gun" laws to penal laws that discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, including 2A.
In fact, the congressional record shows that when Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of 14A, read the Bill of Right as main examples of privileges and immunities that the states have protected, he included 2A.
“See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about middle of 2nd column.” — John Bingham, Appendix to the Congressional Globe
The post-Civil War Supreme Court put it this way about 14A protections.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnished an additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
The bottom line is that when it comes to corrupt state and federal governments, US citizens are “fire fighters,” not “fire preventers” imo.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Otherwise stated... patriots, what is your threshold of “pain” for peacefully stopping corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties oppressing everybody under their boots?
The inevitable remedy for ongoing, post-17A ratification, political party treason (imo)...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their Democratic & RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
So that is a thing then?
