Biden Pushes ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban After UNLV Handgun Attack
Breitbart ^ | 12/07/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 12/07/2023 8:32:49 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Joe Biden released a statement calling for an “assault weapons” ban following Wednesday’s University of Nevada, Las Vegas, handgun attack.

Breitbart News reported that UNLV attacker killed three people and left a fourth critically wounded. And CNN reported the gunman was a “67-year-old career college professor.” It was later learned that the 67-year-old had applied to be a professor at UNLV “but was not hired,” according to ABC News.

When Biden released his statement, facts about the UNLV attack, including the description of the shooter–a professor–and the type of gun used–a handgun–were not known. Yet Biden pushed for a ban on “assault weapons” anyway.

What they SHOULD do is pass national constitutional/concealed carry with immunity for those that return fire at the initial shooter.
An armed society is a polite safe society.

It’s coordinated. LeBron is already on it. Probably other celebrities will be following.

(I bet Joe doesn’t even know he released this ... he is a dementia poster boy and should be resting in a home. Having him on the world stage is embarrassing. One of his “writers” put this out as a press release, wouldn’t surprise me it was A.I. coded to “initiate” if there is a shooting in the news.)

Confiscating guns from Americans trying to protect their families is an obsession w/ Biden
as Dems gladly arm foreign countries w/ massive amts of weaponry every chance they get.

There’s Biden’s 2023 arms handout to Israel:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.

There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.

The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.

ISRAEL – JOINT DIRECT ATTACK MUNITION TAIL KITS AND MUNITIONS
Defense Security Cooperation Agency
Media/Public Contact
pm-cpa@state.gov
Transmittal No 15-36

WASHINGTON, May 19, 2015
As required by US law, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale to Israel on May 18, 2015: Joint Direct Attack Munition Tail Kits, munitions, and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $1.879 billion.

The Government of Israel has requested:
<><>14,500 KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits
<><>consisting of 10,000 for Mk-84;
<><>500 for Mk-83;
<><>and,4,000 for Mk-82;
<><>3,500 Mk-82 bombs; 4,500 Mk-83 bombs;
<><>50 BLU-113 bombs;
<><>4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter bombs;
<><>1,500 Mk-83 Paveway kits;
<><>700 BLU-109 Paveway kits;
<><>3,000 AGM-114K/R Hellfire Missiles,
<><>250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles;
<><>and 500 DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for JDAMs.

The proposed sale of this equipment will provide Israel
<><>the ability to support its self-defense needs
<><>enable Israel to maintain operational capability of its existing systems
<><>and will enhance Israel’s interoperability with the United States.

Israel already has these munitions in its inventory, and will have no difficulty absorbing the additional munitions into its armed forces.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department’s Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

Handguns account for 90% of all guns deaths. But there is no effort to ban them

So the far-left wackos are blaming “assault rifles” for killings pulled off by a rogue pistol? That’s kind of stupid. I just read where a girl in the Russian city of Bryansk shot up her school with a shotgun. Does DOJ add mass shootings performed in Russia to America’s “mass shooting” score card?

The border is open. 12000 crossed yesterday, and by government math that is probably 20,000. Around 10 million since Biden took office. All completely unvetted.
The economy is a house of cards and the world is making every effort to de-dollarize. A bad economy inspires crime.
The democrats have conducted mass release of violent prisoners. According to the Dept of Education, 85% of black students are illiterate.
The country has been flooded with Sackler Oxycontin and cartel Fentanyl.
The junta that came to power in 2020 after the DC coup has fully corrupted the FBI and DOJ. We have mass arrest of political prisoners. Legitimate alternate GOP elector slates are being arrested in three states.
The military is enthralled with perversion and woke and race.
The DC government is pushing for wars with China, Iran, and Russia, all at once.
Academia, media and numerous government figures speak of me as a white male in pre-genocidal terms. Academia doesn’t even think it’s wrong anymore.
Palestinian terrorists abound in our streets. In mass numbers the attack jews, anything Christmas or “American”.
Police are being defunded and arrested for doing their jobs.

.... and you think I’m giving up my firearms? GFY

Jill and staffers “Mr. President, Secretary Mayorkas has called and “thinks it would be prudent to issue a statement, pushing for an assault weapons ban, there has been another school shooting,”. Joe answers “yes”.

A kid on a foot pushed scooter causes 20 car pileup.

A ban on all AUTOS is pushed by Biden.

THERE NEVER IS A MATCH

It’s such a knee-jerk reaction to call for the “assault rifle” ban after a shooting, that the idea has become as meaningless as it should have been from the beginning.

UNLV attacker killed three people and left a fourth critically wounded. Meanwhile Fauci killed off millions and critically injured a whole lot of people.
