House Democrats Ask Biden to Take Executive Action on ‘Concealable Assault-Style Firearms’
The Epoch Times ^ | 4-1-21 | Jack Phillips

A group of House Democrats has asked President Joe Biden to take executive action on “concealable assault-style firearms,” citing two mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado, last month.

“Concealable assault-style firearms that fire rifle rounds pose an unreasonable threat to our communities and should be fully regulated under the National Firearms Act consistent with the intent and history of the law. The recent tragedy in Boulder, Colorado where 10 people including a police officer were killed is one in a string of deadly incidents involving this style of weapon,” Reps. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), Joe Neguse (D-Colo.), Val Demings (D-Fla.), and Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) said in a letter to Biden.

They said that because alleged Boulder gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa used a semi-automatic Ruger AR-556 pistol, which is a smaller variant of an AR-15-style rifle, either Congress or Biden should take action.

I hear criminals routinely walk around with their AR-15 stuffed down their pants when robbing and stealing ??

Oh wait, you mean a standard .223 round from an AR-15 is more deadly than a 9mm, 357 magnum, 45 caliber, etc..at close range.....

“Concealable Assault-Style Firearms”? New term because old one wasn’t scary enough for them? Is it limited to “rifle rounds” or even pistol caliber carbines like CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1?

So a semi-auto Uzi with a 32 round mag is evil.

What about my Browning Hi-Power with a 32 round mag?

They haven’t a clue. Morons.

What, pray tell, is he going to do by fiat? These blogs keep trying to scare us into clicking, but Biden is bound by law as Trump and every other President was.

I love it. The mask is off. Let the Dems put their boots to the neck of the American public.

Either the public has been so indoctrinated that they will cheer being totally controlled, in which case this country is beyond saving.

Or... people will chafe at the bit and put a stop to this garbage.

I don’t know which is most likely, but let’s get on with it.

Funny how the same Dems who demand that national guard troops protect their asses 24/7 want people’s guns taken away..so its Ok to protect them but NOT us I see how it works..my sister and her hubby have a gun in the house because the area where they live which used to be safe is now a homeless infested rathole, a few days ago a homeless crack head stabbed to death a father of 3 in his own backyard..the fatal mistake the man made, was going outside to tell him to get out of his yard that did it, he was stabbed to death..my sis has a glock and not afraid to use it

Everything is concealable if you try hard enough.

I might be wrong, but I think he can stop the import of certain weapons into the country. (Hmm - MAGA!)

They should take action on assault style knives, too. Just to be safe, assault style fists, too! Does one have to be a crooked idiot to be a Democrat politician? Not neccessarily, but it sure seems to help!

A Ruger AR-556 pistol is exactly concealable. Put perhaps we should start shoving the up leftists’ asses to see if it is the case.

Careful, I tried to make the same point last week here and someone here argued vociferously that the AR was still more deadly because it could kill you twice as dead.

Even a MOAB is concealable. Whoops that’s only as single shot.

Why not executive action to close every mosque?

They’re the reason for the Boulder attack.

What about an AR carbine with a folding stock?
