“During my twelve-and-half years as a member of this body, I have never believed that additional gun control or federal registration of guns would reduce crime.” -Senator Joe Biden, 1985

Almost 4 decades ago we didn’t have shootings everyday in schools, churches, supermarkets, night clubs and concert venues. More than 1 a day in the US now. Do you not want to change with the threat? He did 9 years later to impose an assault weapon ban. What have you done, Jim?

Yeah, a lot of things were different in 1985. You were a wrestler in 1985. And we all know how you feel about protecting wrestlers.

From your 2021 article: “Roughly half of Americans (53%) favor stricter gun laws.” 2022: 54% want stricter gun laws. >50% is the majority. The majority of reps are against it. #GunReformNow thehill.com/policy/national-…

1985 was a much different time - and our country was not awash in deadly military grade semi-automatic weapons & ammunition that turns internal organs of the human body to jello. What the guns & ammo do to children's bodies is an abomination.

Some people grow and learn, Jim. Not you, but some other people.
