Biden says 'we can' ban assault weapons as clock ticks for Democratic Congress

WASHINGTON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Wednesday renewed vows to secure a new ban on assault weapons in the United States as he turns up heat on lawmakers to pass legislation before his party loses control of Congress next month.

Lawmakers have shown little inclination to outlaw assault weapons since a ban on high-capacity firearms expired in 2004, but Biden is hoping to seize on outrage about the regularity of shootings to lead to greater pressure on them to change their mind.

"We did it before," Biden said of the ban at a vigil for victims of gun violence at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Washington. "We did it, and guess what? It worked ... We can do it again."

Gun Safety is keeping firearms out of the Hands of the Biden Crime family.

Have you noticed, that Bidet sounds like he has an advanced case of dementia or Altzheimers most of the time?

But he becomes incredibly lucid when he's really angry or hateful or spiteful?

I can't tell if President Puddin' head is an act, or if angry lucidity is a trait of mentally compromised old folks.

Indeed. I have noticed that.

Particularly with gun banning.

My pet theory is that for certain topics, like banning guns, he's been so fervent about it for so long, that he has burned channels into his brain. It is somewhat similar to the way old computer monitors burned in an image if you didn't change it that often. He's created such a 'muscle memory' for banning guns that it goes to a part of his brain where he can just recite and rant out of memory.

Biden talks about banning assault weapons, then he goes about releasing the biggest arms dealer in the world.

I guess that is Biden’s idea of gun control.

If the Dems pass a law to take them, it won’t make it through the Courts.

If there’s a major mass shooting, much less a school one, the media and democrats will be going ape on this.

Then we better keep non-binaries out of gay night clubs.

The USA is becoming more and more like Argentina in the early 1900’s. If we lose the World Reserve Currency to China, it is all over for America.

Since there is no mention of abortion, marriage or assault weapons in the Constitution, the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, constitutionally limited power Congress cannot make laws regulating these politically correct, desperate Democratic and RINO vote-winning issues.

Tell your family and friends that you heard this from FN.

BWAHAHA!

Hey, I kinda dig that the Merchant of Death is out of prison.

Maybe I run into him.

Maybe we get along really well.

Maybe he gets me 30 or 40 RPGs and a Javelin or two.

Maybe he gets me a few Ma Deuces and some Uzis.

SKY’S THE LIMIT, BAY BEEEEE!!!

You don’t ban the most popular weapon in the country if you want to get re-elected. Democrats own ARs too. Its not gonna happen.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Amendment 2

So, Biden is way wrong.

Very true.
