Former President Clinton called on Congress to take further action on gun violence on Wednesday, particularly pushing for the revival of a federal assault weapons ban.

“We must act now,” Clinton says in a video with the media company ATTN:. “Enough is enough.”

The former president’s message echoed similar calls from the White House on Wednesday. Following a spate of recent shootings, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement that President Biden will “continue to do everything in his power” to reduce gun violence, also using the line “enough is enough.”

Clinton emphasizes the effectiveness and broad bipartisan support of the federal assault weapons ban that he signed into law in 1994 and that Congress allowed to expire in 2004. The law received support at the time from former Presidents Carter, Ford and Reagan.

I seem to recall that you were president for 8 years, Bill.

[fretzer]

Go.To.Hell.

“ Enough is enough “is right!
We’ve had enough of YOU, Biden!

[Disambiguator]

I never knew guns were violent! I always thought they need an operator. Thank you, Bill, for enlightening me.

[Vaquero]

But going on flights to islands where he can molest minor females is ok in his book. Pizza anyone?

[skeeter]

I agree, enough is enough.

Now get out into those ghettos and start kicking *ss on those gang bangers who are responsible for bout 95% of all shooting deaths.

Bubba (& Hildabeast) need to sit down & shut up. Those two (and Obummer, among others) are like fingernails on a chalkboard with me.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hey Willie. Your 15 minutes are up.

“We must act now,” Clinton says

I think the plan is to try to push a ban through during the lame duck session.

[Leep]

I think that was Mr. Couric..
Otto Couric.

“I grew up in this culture. … Most of those people would never do anything to endanger an innocent life,” Clinton adds. “They have been terrified into thinking that if they agree to the most simple, straightforward, obvious, noninterfering mechanisms, somehow it’s the beginning of a slippery slope that will rob them of their Second Amendment rights. It’s not true.”

 

Clinton remains a silver-tongued, and very skillful liar.  The ever-tightening "slippery slope" is exactly the strategy that the gun control zealots have been following for decades.  Always tending in a single direction, always quick to use the latest sensational headlines to push any random restriction they can get by.  Which never, ever seem to get reversed. Not going to work this cycle, but the Democrat maching will use anything, however weak, to stem their losses with the suburban wine moms.

[Leep]

Willie hasn’t been up for some time now.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Here is one guy who has absolutely no influence left in the Democrat Party. But giving him a “role” in the 2022 elections keeps him from hitting on teenage girls, so I guess its marginally beneficial.

Bubba has innumerable faults, but Webb Hubble is to blame for Chelsea.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Who?

You know the left is desperate when the media is quoting Bill and Hillary.

What is this, 1990?

[nascarnation]

Webb’s DNA for sure but I think the child rearing was done by Hillary’s maidservants.

[gundog]

[Fido969]

Hammer violence, too.

[Skywise]

NO.

Until you talk about the REAL HANDGUN violence in Chicago directly caused by your party’s policies you have no room to talk.

[Allegra]

Go away, Clinton. And take that shrew you married with you.
