Gun control advocates 'confident' on executive action from Biden after White House meeting
The Washington Times ^ | 10 Feb, 2021 | David Sherfinski

Leaders of prominent gun control groups said Wednesday they expect to see substantive action from President Biden on the issue in the near future after a meeting with White House officials.

“President Biden is committed to taking executive action and working with Congress to put in place reforms that will keep this country’s kids and communities safe,” said Peter Ambler, executive director of the group Giffords. “Today’s meeting was a strong affirmation of that commitment.”

Mr. Ambler and other leaders met virtually with Susan Rice, who leads the White House Domestic Policy Council, and Cedric Richmond, director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, said they’re “confident” about seeing executive and legislative action in the “near future.”

The other groups represented at the meeting were Brady and Everytown for Gun Safety.

“We are pleased that the administration recognizes the gravity of this issue and look forward to continued discussion with and actions by the administration to begin confronting the ever-present threat of gun violence that claims over 100 lives a day,” said Kris Brown, president of Brady.

The Wednesday meeting included talk about violence intervention programs, background checks, and banning homemade “ghost” guns, according to the White House.

Some gun control advocates have been frustrated with a lack of early action after Mr. Biden campaigned aggressively on stricter controls like expanding background checks and banning military-style firearms like the AR-15.

“If Biden wants to protect “kids and the community”

Why has he opened our borders to criminals and drug smugglers” Oddly he does not want these. He wants the vast majority that are poor and desperate and future democrat voters. Biden is willing to tolerate the criminals and drug smugglers and violence and death and misery to achieve his goals. Biden is a bad man.

I guess my opinions make me a white racist? I am white. I speak Spanish, my wife is from Mexico and she came here legally and was educated here legally. She is an engineer.

Their BS has NOTHING to do with “reducing crime or violence” and EVERYTHING to do with disarming the American People at a time that we’re being invaded from the south and from the Far East. These POSs can go ESAD.

I hope they are just as confident that people are not going to comply.

<< stricter controls like expanding background checks >>

Yeah, prohibiting purchases of guns and ammo to anyone who voted for Trump or ever posted something un-woke on social media.

to make communities safer, make sure to assist any citizen who wants a firearm to get one with good safety training available.
also, return firearms sports and training to the high schools.

If I owned an ammunition factory or any of the feeder industries, and the demand went through the roof, I’d not only be ramping up production rates, I’d be running four shifts a week. I don’t believe the shortages are a result of demand. Is the federal government aggressively buying primers or some other bottleneck component?

Manufacturers have had years to ramp up production.

I don’t think any gun owner cares what the handlers of
“president” Chuckles the Demented Clown puts out there.

nd Biden bobbed his head up and down in the fake acknowledgment you get from someone who doesn’t understand what’s going on.

The problem with the head-bobbing from Bobble-Head JoeMentia is that it stimulates his bowels, and then you got another "accident" in his adult diapers...

On the bright side, Utah is about to legalize "Constitutional Carry':

Almost makes up for foisting Romney on the rest of us.

Not quite, but is a step toward redemption.

“Executive action applies to the Executive Branch.”

It was the title of a 1973 movie, too. Check out the plot.

It's a good thing "executive orders" only apply to those in the executive branch of government.

Executive orders are also meaningless since biden/harris are illegitimate.

I really wish patriots would put together some funding and rent billboards all over the country that display

Biden/Harris = ILLEGITIMATE
