Democrats exasperated with Biden on gun control
Politico ^ | 4/08/22 | Laura Barron-Lopez

Chris Murphy has tried to be patient with the White House.

But the Democratic senator from Connecticut, who has dedicated much of his career since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre to fighting for passage of gun control laws, has had enough.

“It’s time for more urgency from the administration as the gun violence epidemic gets worse by the day,” Murphy said in an interview this week. “A lot of us know that the president’s heart is in the right place and we’ve been really patient with his team.”

Murphy is leading a brigade of lawmakers and advocates pressing Biden to take unilateral action on guns. In a March 25 letter, previously unreported, Murphy and 127 other Democratic lawmakers demanded that Biden move expeditiously on three fronts:

— Issue new executive orders on federal gun licensing requirements and create a centralized task force to address gun violence.

— And name a new nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

— Finalize a regulation to crack down on so-called ghost guns before Democrats potentially lose control of Congress.

The 2nd Amendment Exists.

It was not a “right” given by government.

It remains.

The #ComDem Crazies can pound sand.

The Democrats started pushing this back in 1962 just before JFK was murdered by a communist supporter.
Really started pushing it when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant.

Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1986, They came for the rifles.
Gun owners are always up against a stacked deck.

I am exasperated as well, but not for the same reasons.

I’m with you - never will I give an inch to the likes of Brandon or Murphy. Any force showing up on my property will be buried here.

“A lot of us know that the president’s heart is in the right place.....”

Isn’t that giving away a National targeting Secret?

The smart ones are dismayed that significant portions of their base have become gun owners over the last two years and they’re feeling the issue slipping away. They want executive action because they’re losing on it in Congress and that’s only going to get worse.

Now they also have their diversity hire in the Supreme Court that doesn’t know what a woman is or what natural rights are.

People are heeding that, even if they’ve never seen it.

The piggies on the left are arming the Ukes and disarming America. Who’s going to provide arms to Americans when the true La Raza invasion begins from the south? No thanks RATS. We’ll keep the Second Amendment, thank you.

Agreed, but she’s replacing a total nut case so I don’t think it will matter.
