Biden calls on Congress to reinstate Federal Assault Weapons Ban
Axios ^ | June 2nd, 2022 | Herb Scribner

Posted on 06/02/2022 5:40:51 PM PDT by Mariner

President Biden laid out his gun control agenda on Thursday night, saying America should be unified around the provisions he suggested.

The big picture: Biden called on Congress to reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban, which was passed in 1994 and expired under President George W. Bush in 2004. He also called for expansions on background checks, raising the age limits to purchase semi-automatic rifles and red flag laws.

Biden added there should be a ban on certain semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines.

There are at least half a dozen Dim Senators and another two score Democrat congressmen that wish he would just STFU.

Hey Joe! This is an election year!

Besides, a ban would not pass muster with this new Supreme Court.

Contact your rep, useless or not, and DEMAND they oppose H.R. 7910. More lies and misinformation.

In the last 5 years the government has completely shown us their ass and has gone full authoritarian. They stole an election, conducted mass release of violent prisoners, let antifa and BLM terrorists run wild and even openly supported them. They locked up hundreds of political prisoners, started a war with Russia, debased the currency, created food shortages, caused an explosion in crime. They have doped up our kids, opened the border wide for millions of criminals to pour in. They have defanged the police.
As a white male they speak of my constantly in terms a 1930s nazi would use when describing a Jew. Many government and University leaders openly discuss that I need to go away, die, shut up, or be arrested.

And you think I’m giving up my rifles?
Here’s my finger.

A couple days ago another high profile gun grabber, Dick Blumenthal, said this would be an election year issue in November. I have a feeling they know they donā€™t have the votes for it in the Senate. However, they do want soundbites.

They are using the wrong definition of ā€œassaultā€.

The military version of assault is the phase of an attack where you ā€œclose with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver.ā€

This is where you are rooting out the enemy.

You want as many bullets as possible heading towards the enemy.

Assault rifles in the military are automatic weapons.

The semi automatic AR15 is a Modern Sporting Rifle.

The Liberals want Americans.to think of assault rifle as a weapon used on a street corner.

The Democrats are confusing terms on purpose.

And yes, FR correctors, there is more to this but I didnā€™t want to write a doctoral dissertation.

Would the AR-15 he used even be illegal under the former Assault Weapons Ban?

“but I didnā€™t want to write a doctoral dissertation”

During the Rhodesian civil war, national troops were ordered to put their weapons on semi auto only. Under threat of Courts Martial. This due to a shortage of ammo.

It was found they were far more effective in every engagement.

Make that part of your dissertation on the AR-15, because some fools think a semi auto AR-15 is not an effective weapon of war.

The FBI’s own statistics show that more people are killed every year by hammers than by semi-automatic rifles.

More people are killed by hands....more people are killed by feet.

I doubt the Republicans will go along with this so-called ban, but if they do, their chances of winning it all in November will be in question.

Gasoline that was $2.18/gallon under President Trump is now $4.40/gallon in my area.

What an economic disaster.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the authority given believers in Mt 16:10, 18:18 and Luke 10:19, we now bind the strongman (Luke 11:20) over all plans and entities which are attempting to push through the US Senate and Congress an ā€œAssault Weapons Banā€ - and indeed, any restrictions or destructions of the Second Amendment.

We loose, in Jesusā€™ Name, the warrior spirits and holy angels to attack, pull down, and destroy the evil spirit powers feeding and abetting these actions.

We loose upon them confusion and destruction - send to them please - the spirits of dumbness, stupidity, idiocy, and foolishness, and also clumsiness, isolation, blabbermouth, chatterbox, talktalktalk, and and dissension, to promote quarreling amongst thieves.

We loose the hosts of Heaven to cut down and into multiple pieces their communications between the strongmen evil spirit powers and all their superiors, and all their minions, that their plans are turned into complete confusion. In Jesusā€™ Name.

Make their way dark and slippery, so that they unbalance on camera and in person. Send them the spirit of truth, that they tell the truth when it is disadvantageous for them, and the spirit of error, that they make many many many mistakes, missteps, and misjudgements of power and timing.

Let this bring many of these leaders to the end of themselves, and that You may then offer to them the blessing of Salvation, that they may accept it and be saved.

And let many freedom loving (believers only) read and repeat this spiritual warfare prayer OUT LOUD to the spirit world, taking authority over evil spirit powers in the unseen realm, that they must obey, so that evil is stalled and/or stopped in this one area at this moment.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

No.

You write your doctoral dissertation on Free Republic.

Iā€™d like to see it.

How many times were they assaulting prepared defensive positions?

Because some fools donā€™t look at the whole story.
