Biden Once Again Calls for Assault Weapons Ban Following California Shootings

-

President is once again calling for a nationwide ban on so-called “assault weapons” following two shootings that took place in this week.

In a statement issued Monday, the President urged to “act quickly” to deliver legislation banning “assault weapons” to his desk. In the aforementioned statement, Biden specifically mentioned legislation introduced by Senator Diane Feinstein of California, where this week's shootings took place.

“Today, Senator Feinstein, with whom I worked with to pass the last in 1994, has once again introduced an Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Magazine Ban in the Senate, as well as legislation raising the age to purchase them to 21. These measures have been cosponsored by Senators Murphy, Blumenthal, and others. In the 10 years that the Assault Weapons Ban was on the books, mass shootings went down. After Republicans let the law expire in 2004 and those weapons were allowed to be sold again, mass shootings tripled.”

As in the statement above, Biden often touts the success of the he helped co-author and usher through Congress. The success of the measure has been debunked numerous times, including by federal agencies themselves.

Statistics previously reported by the Department of Justice in a 2004 study showed that the federal ban which was in place from 1994 to 2004 had no measurable impact on crimes.

The () said that “as much as Joe Biden enjoys portraying himself as a homespun everyman, he's still the most anti- president ever. You don't need to read between the lines of his remarks (predictably tedious as they may be) to recognize a deep contempt for America's gun owners and lack of respect for their rights” in a release issued Monday.

  1. One of the primary goals for a communist is to strip guns out of the hands of the general public to make government takeover easier. This is why Biden and his communist comrades are pushing for gun control (confiscation).

    • check out what is happening in Brazil with the help of Bidens CIA, and FBI to install communist govt.by force. Lula is the communist that was let out of jail, where he should have stayed.

  2. California and all its anti gun laws don’t be working so good. The cops need to be given a chance to do their jobs and know they will have the backing of the people . They are going to need to get as mean as the bad guys. California used to be a great place to live and work, no more. The ones in charge has ruined it except for the bad people. The people who are light skinned and speak English do not belong anymore. To bad too.

    • I ‘escaped’ from the People’s Democratic Republic of Kalifornia in 2003 taking all of my firearms with me.

  3. Quit trying to force bans on honest citizens. Leftists are always trying to take away fundamental rights to whittle down the constitution until it exists no more. Then they can do as THEY please with no repercussions.

  4. They honestly are stupid enough to believe that when the population of our country is helpless and defenseless that the foreign powers behind all of this will let these psychotic idiots stay in power. They are clueless

  5. Biden cannot open his mouth without fabricating tale tales and out right lying. Does he not think we the people will fact check EVERYTHING he says? He either need better speech writers or his handlers need to tell him to quit / stop him from ad-libbing.

  6. Biden and other anti gun types, regarding the ongoing scam that is this “assault weapons” ban really need to tell the citizenry of this country exactly what the assault weapons they seek to ban are.

    For those not up on the legal facts, and history, Selective Fire Capable Firearms are not readily to the
    private citizen according to long existing federal law, National Firearms Act of 1934. On the other hand, Semiautomatic Rifles have been commonly available for more than 100 years. Semiautomatic Handguns were around earlier. Wake up and smell the coffe.

  7. I’ve asked before on other forums – does anyone know where/when slow joe got his deep seated hatred for guns (except for shotguns fired from the balcony or thru the front door). So far I haven’t seen any reply from anyone. Surely there was something that triggered (pun intended) that hatred.
    Weren’t the murders in SoCal done with a pistol, not sure about Half Moon Bay but since the lame stream media (afaik) is being quiet about the weapon it likely wasn’t an ”assault weapon” (even by kalypornia ‘standards’).
    BTW – I dare him to define “assault weapon” – I’d be willing to place a friendly wager that he can’t.

  8. Biden is a lying sack of horse turds. The Assault Weapons ban, in the 90s had very little effect on any shootings.Hell, they didn’t then, and still don’t even know what an Assault Weapon is. Any of these weasels in Congress or the Senate vote for this BS, they’re so gone, as WE THE PEOPLE will remove their butts, with whatever means necessary, for violating our GOD GIVEN rights. Think not, FAFO. It seems that Congress nor the Senate either can’t or won’t defend us, so we have to defend ourselves, and we will, using our 1st, and 2nd Amendment rights, to protect all of the others.

  9. Nobody, or group of folks have any right to moderate anything anyone says. You don’t have to agree with what is said, but you have no right to either moderate, or modify it in any way. you so-called Community Standards, is nothing but censorship, which is blatantly illegal in this country. Biden is the Crown Prince of being stupid in public, but nobody seems to stop him from inserting both feet in his mouth, EVER!

  10. How about Biden or some “firearms expert” climbing down from their mountain of information, aka misinformation and telling us ordinary citizens EXACTLY what these assault weapons, the ones they would ban, are. Hunting never interesting, competitive rifle shooting was my chosen game. I fired 30 caliber (30-06 and 7.62 x 51mm) bolt action and semiautomatic rifles in competition for many years, and I continue to wonder as to EXACTLY what assault weapons are. By the way, the semiautomatic rifle is nothing new, this type of rifle having been commonly available since prior to the First World War, more than 100 years ago.
