The Post says: Get weapons of war off America’s streets

Eight slain in Atlanta, now 10 in Boulder. Your town could be next. Can the nation finally do something about weapons of war on our streets?

President Joe Biden called Tuesday for Congress to move immediately to “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.” It’s a start, though he’ll have to reach across party lines for real this time, since some Democrats are as anti-gun-control as the bulk of today’s GOP.

The New York Post does not see this as a conservative or liberal issue — it’s an issue of life and death. Curbing guns is what led to New York City’s three-decade reduction in murders. And, sadly, it’s the dismissal of that progress that has led to a rise in shootings here. Outside the city, the toll of semi-automatic weapons is a sad litany of cities and schools: Newtown, Parkland, Aurora, Las Vegas. It’s a national shame.

We called on President Donald Trump to act, and we’ll happily support Biden in a fight for the needed changes. Polls show most Americans want this. It’s the political establishment that is frozen.

Weapons of War is exactly what the 2A was designed to protect.

I 100% agree. Weapons of war like Syrian moslem terrorists have no place on America’s streets.

For EVERY person shot by a deranged lunatic with a gun, at least 5 times as many are SAVED by a responsible person with a gun.

The Post editorial board should spend a weekend in a border town along the Mexican border. Unarmed.

Whenever you hear someone say “this is not about right vs left or liberal versus conservative” or even “this is not a partisan issue” you can bet a liberal is the one making that statement.

Trump tried to stop importation of moslems from 5 or 6 of the worst terror prone countries and they fought him at every step.

The Boulder murderer was one of the ones Obama let in and Trump stopped. Biden opened the floodgates again.
when Biden did that, hundreds of Americans were murdered without knowing it yet. Their date with death is 6 months, 3 years, or 8 years away. One day whole they are shopping, driving down the street, or otherwise enjoying life. Some migrant Biden let in this spring will murder, rape, or kill them in a drunk driving wreck.

“Should make it their job to go house to house collecting them.”

How anti constitution communist can you get? They try harder each and every day.

A great actor once hit that nail on the head....

From my cold dead hands...

and I will finish it....

They will take it only because I ran out of ammo and handy targets....

No

get the criminals off the streets

they use whatever they can get their hands on as weapons

the weapon varies, the criminal is the constant

these people just want criminals to keep voting for them, they dont care about punishing and locking them up away from normal people in society

Even is liberal CT, polls showed no massive support for our unconstitutional ban on scary looking guns when thy rammed that thru several years ago. Even today, when the left leaning local Fox affiliate posted a article on the Xiden speech 99% of the comments were opposed.

The Post Editorial board shows it’s ignorance. Semi-automatic weapons are not weapons of war. They are common firearms carried by policemen and average citizens every minute of every day.

How about restrict gun sales to members of the Islamic Cult, members of communist parties, members of socialist parties, and anyone who has now or in the past posted or participated in undeniably anti-American efforts or aided our nation’s enemies.
