On Wednesday, President Biden reiterated is desire to ban all assault weapons in the United States before the new Congress is seated next month.
Many lawmakers have shown little desire to ban assault weapons in recent months but according to Biden, he would like to put greater pressure on lawmakers to change their minds and get something done before Democrats lose control of the House.
At a recent vigil for victims of gun violence Biden said, “We did it before. We did it, and guess what? It worked … We can do it again.”
The vigil at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Washington was organized by the “Newtown Action Alliance,” which began after the tragic shooting in 2012 at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut where 20 first-grade students and 6 adults were killed by a gunman using an assault rifle.
ONE: these posterior depressions wouldn’t know an assault weapon from a cap gun. In their view, the appearance of a weapon makes it an assault rifle. AR-15 = assault rifle. Give me a break! Send some of these jerks to a war zone with an AR-15 and see how long they survive.
TWO: Biden says “we did it before …. and it worked.” NO IT DID NOT!!! Statistics show that banning semi-automatic rifles did nothing to reduce the numbers of deaths by guns. About 90 percent of all shootings are actually done with pistols/revolvers — which by the way, fire one round for one trigger squeeze.
THREE: All of the NON-THINKERS should look up the definition for “criminal.” Those are the people who do not follow the laws. They will get guns when they want them. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws (criminals) will have them. Good luck!
