It’s good that Biden is calling for an assault weapons ban even though he knows he doesn’t have the votes for one. It’s important that he uses the bully pulpit to stand for the things that matter, even when those who are bought and sold by the NRA refuse to do the right thing.

You can’t possibly be this naive 🤦‍♂️ It’s called “political theater”. Biden and the Democrats have no intention of ever doing anything of substance. But they’ll definitely fundraise and then break their campaign promises. And you’ll be there to help #DemExit

How do you define "assault weapon" ? Any weapon can be used for defence or assault.

Rings hollow from the man who shipped so many weapons to Ukraine only to have many go right to the black market.

Let’s examine why people choose to do a mass shootings. Many of these people who decided to shoot up schools were bullied by student, teachers, and the #WokeFascist. They get called incels and have their disabilities laughed at.

There is no such thing as an “assault weapon.” Biden seeks to outlaw over 200 million semi-automatic firearms commonly owned by the People and, thus, protected by our Bill of Rights.

For the victims of gun nuts expecting 'dumb liberals' to say 'scary looking guns': Any recoil or gas operated semi automatic weapon holding more than 5 rounds. Mandatory 5 year sentence for having a clip with more capacity. It's 1910 tech, 50x dumber than a hair dryer.

Quite convenient for POTUS to make this cry now, after the midterms and after losing The House, when he knows quite well it is simple lip service (like most of his empty promises... student loan forgiveness?). And you are better than to support this tweet, Marianne..

Tried and failed. "The ban failed to reduce the average number of victims per gun murder incident or multiple gunshot wound victims." ojp.gov/pdffiles1/173405.pdf LA Times: The assault weapons ban didn’t work. A new version won’t either latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la… We must do more.

He's over-reaching as a ploy to lose then shiftblame gop. We need 21, 1 week wait, training, insurance or bonding for purchase of firearms. We need to be clear that these are common, not odious regulations. They don't rise to infringement. Banning all sales's a separate issue.
