President Joe Biden called for an “assault weapons” ban Monday, just hours after an alleged handgun attack in Madison, Wisconsin, at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS).
Biden released a statement, which said, in part, “From Newtown to Uvalde, Parkland to Madison, to so many other shootings that don’t receive attention – it is unacceptable that we are unable to protect our children from this scourge of gun violence. We cannot continue to accept it as normal.”
Toward the end of his statement, he said, “My administration has taken aggressive action to combat the gun violence epidemic. We passed the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years, I have taken more executive action to reduce gun violence than any other President in history, and I created the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.”
Biden then pushed for more.
He said, “Congress must pass commonsense gun safety laws: Universal background checks. A national red flag law. A ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
The Associated Press (AP) reported that the Madison shooter was a 17-year-old female. This means she was too young to buy a gun and therefore too young for point-of-sale background checks to have any impact. Moreover, it also means that red flag laws would not have stopped her, and an “assault weapons” ban certainly would not have had an impact, as she allegedly used a handgun.
After issuing a pardon for his son – to get rid of the consequences of the son’s gun crime conviction, no gun laws on the books today are justified!
Biden is much more dangerous than an assault weapon!
Oh, and again it’s the guns fault ??
A gun can sit on a shelve, on a desk or in a drawer and never fire once. It takes a human finger to make it fire.
How did a 17 year old get to be in possession of a gun of any type ??
What is the difference between an assault weapon and a non-assault weapon?
Assault weapons are generally high-powered semiautomatic firearms where each round has up to four times the muzzle velocity of a handgun round. This means that each round from an assault weapon inflicts greater damage to the human body than a round from a typical handgun.
