That’s why I signed the historic executive order to advance executive [effective] and accountable community policing, and it’s very effective so far. You know, and I’m going to continue to call on Congress to pass the George Floyd Policing and Justice — the Justice in Policing Act so we can make police reform the law of the land.
We’ve also made historic investments in proven strategies to interrupt and prevent crime and violence in the first place. These programs use trusted messengers, including people — people who are in the neighborhood, people who have — have been incarcerated and are released now, people who have been through it, people who know what they’re talking about.
And we have a track record of reducing violent crime, as a consequence of that, by 30 to 60 percent where those programs exist.
And finally, my plan goes after the SCOURGE OF GUN VIOLENCE in America. I’ve taken more executive actions to stop the flow of illegal guns than any other administration in history. And we beat the NRA when I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years.
And we’re going to finish the job. We’re going to BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS AND HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES NEXT TIME AROUND because it has to be done.
I formed the — the first-ever White House Gun Violence — White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and I thank VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS for overseeing this important effort.
Let me close with this. Our plan is working, but we still have much more to do, as everyone at this table knows. And that’s why we’re here today.

Say, don't we have a ban on bringing in kids from other countries to be used for labor and sex work?
Maybe we have some sort of ban on fentanyl and xylazine too?
For some reason our bans aren't working out so well, but you have to admit people breaking those bans sure wouldn't break an assault weapons ban. That would be illegal.
Kamala is watching you, Mr. Cartel man, you better not misuse guns!
Go after law abiding gun owners but leave the border wide open so tens of thousands of violent illegal alien criminals can invade your towns and cities.
Why not ban illegal gang bangers?
If your crime fighting has been so effective, Why is crime so high Brandon? Pass the George Floyd Police Reform law? No thanks. We’ve had enough of George Floyd reforms. Ban assault rifles? Come and get them ya drooling old bastard.
Perhaps the moderator is from FedGov, not Free Republic. They are policing your thoughts...better be careful.

Who writes this clap-trap for him? What in the devil are “trusted messengers”? I guess according to him they are ex-cons???? People who know what they’re talking about? Boy - That’s exactly who we want to listen to!
Make police reform the law of the land because of George Floyd? Is he nuts? That’s not his job! Stick to what you know, Joe....when you have that figured out, you can join the adult table. He should be made to explain the “Justice in Policing Act.” He would have trouble spelling it!!
Kamala’s contribution is what? She must have been in the room therefore making it mandatory that he acknowledge her presence.
This stuff gives me a headache!
I thought all that “Lawlessness and Chaos” was done away with by the Democrats back in 1968!
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.
And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...
“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.
I can’t wait to hear what President Brandon is going to say when he gives the State of the Union address before Congress next week. Since it is going to be at 9 PM, even more confusion can be expected, as that is WAY past his regular bedtime.
Triumph after triumph, he soldiers on. Dear Lord, shall this NEVER end?
His blithering speech comes off like a fart in a hurricane !
Make our COMMUNITIES safer, or our COMMUNISTS?
You just KNOW they’re working on that...
CRIME?
Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.
Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for Returning veterans.
In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans. The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!
If we used the imagined result of democrat minds then locking up all young black and Latino men would save countless lives and have us all waking up to many peaceful tomorrows.
Hopefully these trusted messengers won’t get busted for parole violations for associating with known criminals.
