Gun control advocates are pushing President Biden to take more aggressive action on gun violence in the wake of three deadly mass shootings in as many weeks.
Democrats and outside groups are praising the $5 billion for community violence prevention programs tucked into the president’s massive infrastructure package, which was unveiled Wednesday and is likely to get the next big legislative push on Capitol Hill.
But they say more must be done.
House Democrats this week urged Biden to take executive action to subject concealed assault-style weapons to more federal regulation. And others raised pressure on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to promptly schedule votes on two bills the lower chamber passed last month to expand background checks.
“The extraordinary investment proposed by the Biden-Harris administration would save countless lives in communities that are most affected by gun violence,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety.
More must be done by Law abiding citizens to get the Govt OFF our back !!!!
Criminals will Always have their Guns , so Leave us Good people the Hell Alone !!!!!!!!!!!
GUN CONTROL means “PUNISH CRIMINALS TO THE FULLEST” including reinstating the “DEATH PENALTY” not law abiding Citizens. You kill someone and proved it was a crime then they do not have a right to live either. NO APPEAL AFTER 1 year of original conviction and then no more than 30 days until they are served justice “DEATH”.
VAN HOLLAND, CARDIN and the SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS will never do that, since that will destroy their voter base. VAN HOLLAND and CARDIN should be voted out, since they are not upholding their OATH of OFFICE.
