President Joe Biden celebrated Monday his success in getting Republicans to finally budge on gun control, boasting of “real progress” on the issue.
“We’ve finally moved that mountain, a mountain of opposition, obstruction, and indifference that stood in the way and stopped every effort of gun safety for 30 years in this nation,” Biden said.
The president spoke at a White House event celebrating the latest gun control bill he signed two weeks ago which earned the votes of 15 Senate Republicans.
“It’s a call to action to all of us to do more,” Biden said.
The president specifically praised Republican Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) for their leadership on the issue.
Cornyn was present at the White House celebration event, and even shook hands with Biden after he was finished speaking.
“Now is the time to galvanize this moment,” Biden said. “Because that’s our duty to the people of this nation.”
Biden called for a complete assault weapons ban and a ban on gun magazines holding 30 rounds.
I’m not going to stop until we do it,” he said.
He also called for gun owners to be held liable for the misuse of their personal firearms by others.
“We’re living in a country awash in weapons of war,” he said. “Weapons that were designed to hunt are not being used, the weapons designed, that they are purchasing, are designed as weapons of war to take out an enemy.”

GOP a useless bunch....
RINOs and feckless Repubs for the win.
GOP: But, but we were promised we’d be applauded and would be first in line at the luxury yacht party buffets. What gives?
Molon labe
Senile Joe could not get anything done without Assistant Democrats.
Moved that mountain of excrement to be exact.
Just rinos. Soon they will be gone. They got red flag laws that don’t work. It’s not the guns it’s the people..
Gun safety. Eff’n moron. All those RINOs that voted for this unconstitutional piece of excrement will be gone. The Democrat party simply needs to be permanently destroyed. It begins this November.
Joe, you moron. ALL firearms are weapons of war...
it’s why they are called WEAPONS.
Thanx Mitch, thanx a bunch Cornyn.
Again, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
They aren’t going anywhere.
Most of them were re-elected with Trump’s endorsement or are running this year with Trump’s endorsement.
I’m not too concerned about Red Flag Laws. I believe they will be found unconstitutional once they’re used.
Republicans, after selling out, get slapped for doing so.
I wish that pattern would stop Republicans from selling out.
My state won’t put ERPOs, so-called ‘red-flag’ laws, in place, so their hard-fought ‘victory’ is NULL AND VOID here. They can’t force states to do it, and they know it. All they can do is bribe them with FedBucks.
Same thoughts here. They didn’t get ghost guns or high capacity mags.
You didn’t get any ‘real’ republicans to do anything. RINO’s are not real republicans. Never were.
The Surrender Party loves to have their asses kicked. What a bunch of idiots.
Honestly, this gun legislation is the only thing I remember the Republicans doing since Trump left.
And Joe says the GOP does not help him....
