Bill Clinton on gun violence: ‘We must act now’
The Hill ^ | 11/02/2022 | JULIA SHAPERO

Posted on 11/02/2022 12:25:35 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Clinton called on Congress to take further action on gun violence on Wednesday, particularly pushing for the revival of a federal assault weapons ban.

“We must act now,” Clinton says in a video with the media company ATTN:. “Enough is enough.”

The former president’s message echoed similar calls from the White House on Wednesday. Following a spate of recent shootings, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement that President Biden will “continue to do everything in his power” to reduce gun violence, also using the line “enough is enough.”

Clinton emphasizes the effectiveness and broad bipartisan support of the federal assault weapons ban that he signed into law in 1994 and that Congress allowed to expire in 2004. The law received support at the time from former Presidents Carter, Ford and Reagan.

They sure do want to make winning an impossibility.

Even with the fix being in, no one is going to vote for them,.

No, it was assault ruffles. They were potato chips with sharp edges.

No, Mr. Clinton, the DOJ wrote a report in 2004 as the AWB was sunsetting that said no meaningful reduction in crime could be attributed to the AWB.

However, your 1994 Crime Bill directly funded more police, more prisons, and indirectly increased incarceration rates, and that dramatically lowered violent crime rates in the following decades.

Now the Left is undoing the best parts of the 1994 Crime Bill by 'defunding the police,' zero cash bail, reduced or no sentencing, reduced prosecutions, and shortened incarceration rates which have all directly led to higher violent crime rates in our cities.

Those are the things you need to reverse, Mr. President, not the reinstatement of the clearly unconstitutional AWB.
