President says resolve to pass assault weapons ban strengthened after Colorado shooting
President Biden said on Thursday that he would push Congress to enact new gun control laws before Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January.
Biden told reporters during a press event in Nantucket, Massachusetts that the recent shooting at an LGBT nightclub in Colorado had reinforced the need to pass an assault weapons ban.
“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” said Biden. “It has no socially redeeming value… Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”
Semi-automatic guns, including handguns and rifles, fire one bullet for each pull of the trigger.
Biden said he would push federal lawmakers to enact a new assault weapons ban before January when the next Congress took office and Republicans gained control of the House.

I’m a fan of reasonable gun control, and opposed to public carry, but as a victim of home invasions I also want my choice of a reasonable home defense weapon. Before I chose my pump shotgun for home defense, I previously chose a semiautomatic rifle. I think either is a good choice for home defense. It’s ignorant of Biden to say there’s no use for a semi-automatic weapon. That doesn’t do any good.
Hey 12:28, why do feel it’s ok to defend yourself at home but not out in public? Why should I not be allowed to protect myself from a carjacking, or being robbed at an ATM, or even beaten up or killed by some street rat that needs to prove his disregard for life just to join a gang of thugs. Politicians have paid body guards when out in public. I don’t know about your life, but I’m sure my life is just as important as someone like hogan, biden, obama, clinton, the list goes on and on and on. So if “you” only want to feel safe at home, fine, but don’t discount my life when I’m out and about.
It’s even sicker to allow Biden to still be in his stolen office.
It’s my right as an American citizen to defend my life, the life of others and my property! I will die to keep that right.
He AFRAID the House will take over the Senate by Force !!! LOL LOL LOL
