President Joe Biden once again called for a ban on “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines, which he referred to as “weapons of war” in an El Paso Times op-ed published Tuesday. The op-ed marked the two-year anniversary of a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas that left 23 people dead.
“As we work together to counter the forces of violent hatred, we must also commit to ending the plague of gun violence that steals innocent lives and continues to devastate our communities,” Biden wrote. “I will continue to do everything I can to fight for commonsense gun laws that Americans overwhelmingly support and I call again on Congress to do what we know will make a difference, including a ban of weapons of war — assault weapons and high-capacity magazines like the one that ravaged and pierced this city.”
Additionally, the president vowed to continue efforts to reduce gun crime through “reining in the proliferation of ‘ghost guns” and “investing in community policing and community violence interventions.”

Biden has stated and reiterated this like three dozens times since becoming President. He can keep crying for all day long, won’t change until the Dems get a new Parkland-style mass shooting ‘crisis’ to not let go to waste. The clock’s ticking on that too, as their House and/or Senate majorities might be gone come January 2023.
They will not succeed in a ban, they will try to simply use this for political points and votes, just like abortion each election cycle.
The answer is still no.
Get your 120rd mags while you can.
Afghanistan, love it or hate it, it is still a current illustration of what citizens with guns can accomplish against the great empires of history, even the U.S. government which Biden thinks can win with nukes.
Biden can’t write his name, let alone op-eds. The lies never stop.
I just watched a video on slam shotguns.
I bet Bidet would ban those too.
If these “common sense” laws actually had overwhelming support they would have already been put into place. The fact is these “common sense” laws are not common sense nor do they have overwhelming support.
Excellent point.
If there are still elections in 2022, all that’s needed is to forestall him until then. RINOs in the Senate might just cave, if the mass shooting is horrific enough, but it’s unclear how much control they have over mass shootings. Is it all staged, or do they just turn a random nutcase loose and hope for the worst? Or is it really just a lone nutcase, working out his issues? If there are no more elections by 2022, everyone’s f@#$ed anyway, and an underground network must be established now against that eventuality, ready to spring into action should it be needed.
Biden needs these banned so he can try and finish American freedom.
FY Jotatoe.
It doesn’t get them votes. They already had an assault weapons ban under Clinton, and he attributed the loss of 1994 at least in part to that ban. Bill is a vile human being, but he’s also an astute politician. Do I repeat myself? He knew from whence he spoke.

No such thing.

“...commonsense ... .”
What a strange word for this man to use.
