The horrific mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton that left 31 people dead and dozens more injured have thrust the issue of gun violence into the center of the 2020 presidential campaign -- with calls growing louder in the Democratic field for the return of an assault-weapons ban.

~~SNIP~~

The former vice president, in a CNN interview, said that a Biden administration would push for a “national buyback program” to get such firearms “off the street.”

Asked what he’d say to gun owners worried that Biden would be coming for their guns, he quickly answered: "Bingo! You're right, if you have an assault weapon."

THAT’S going to leave a mark. Like Walter Mondale promising to RAISE taxes if elected. 49 state blowout followed.

Ditto. I swore a similar oath. I’m old enough to have done enough, young enough to still maybe make a difference. If it’s got to happen, let it happen sooner rather than later so my kids can live in a just Country.

And the problem with guns, just like climate change, is that it’s only for the peasants. The elites will still have armed protection.

How many fatherless, radical leftists will have become old enough to vote between 2016 and 2020? Think about it.

Biden was behind the 1990 version of an assault weapons ban

Let’s keep them honest, at least with the facts.
“Assault weapons” are just the first of what in effect is their goal of a total gun ban.

Say we do ban “assault weapons”, and confiscate them all. Aside from all the conflicts with the 2nd and 4th amendments, the next mass murderer will just use a shotgun, so we then have to ban them. The the next mass shooting will be with just handguns, like the Virginia tech shooting, so ban them, then the next will be with a standard hunting rifle, rebranded by the left as a evil “sniper rifle”...

It will not end with “assault weapons”. These guns are just semi auto rifles. They have been around for over 100 years.

The real question is what is inspiring these mostly left wing killers, like the godless Marxist nihilism promoted by unconstitutional enemies within our country.
