I’m still waiting for Joe to put forth a bipartisan agenda and push for all that healing and unity. How about you? Because this isn’t any of those, and is also a Quixotic quest. It wasn’t going to happen before, it’s not going to happen now. But, it will get Dementia Joe a Gun Salesmen of the Year award

Biden calls on Congress to ban assault weapons

On the third anniversary of the Parkland school shooting, President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass stricter gun laws, including banning assault weapons. In a statement from the White House, Mr. Biden on Sunday asked Congress to pass laws requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers.

“Today, as we mourn with the Parkland community, we mourn for all who have lost loved ones to gun violence,” Mr. Biden said.

The White House didn’t provide more details about Mr. Biden’s plan.

Plan? What plan? Biden was simply attempting to patronize the 2nd Amendment hating portion of his base

Their organization, March for Our Lives, has been pushing Mr. Biden to appoint a gun czar who would serve in a Cabinet-adjacent position. According to a statement sent to CNN in December, the group asked that a National Director of Gun Violence Prevention “reflect the understanding that gun violence is a public health crisis, and disproportionately affects our most vulnerable populations.”

Mr. Biden promised on the campaign trail to take action on guns within his first 100 days in office. Last week, gun control groups Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action said they met with members of the Biden administration. Both Everytown and Moms Demand said they have released roadmaps for how the Biden administration can take action on gun violence.

Let’s say Biden gets three of the four things mentioned: scary looking weapon ban, background checks for that super small amount of transactions which do not occur via a federally licensed firearms dealer, and banning  high capacity magazines (because 10 is safe and 11 is not). Would this in any way stop the shootings in Democratic Party run areas like Chicago? No. For one thing, most shootings are not committed with rifles.

As for eliminating immunity, well, none of this will pass Congress. And, if the Democrat controlled House attempts to introduce legislation it will whip up voters against them in 2022. In the Senate, at a minimum you’d have Joe Manchin against all of this. Even if passed, it’s not going to stop all the shootings in Democrat run areas in the least. Guns from around the world would just be run across the porous borders that Joe doesn’t want controlled. It would just put more American businesses out of business and make it harder for law abiding citizens to purchase a firearm to protect themselves and their loved ones.

China Joe and the gun grabbers haven’t consider where law enforcement, the military, and other government authorities will get their firearms if they put American gun makers out of business. All that money would be put in the hands of foreign companies, and, since there have been reports that this removal of immunity would apply to ammunition makers, that’s a lot of money flowing to non-American companies.
