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.

You know they don’t care about public safety — they really must be expecting a major insurrection this time.

The Deep State clowns are feeling the heat and pushback on their NWO crap. They need the guns to be taken away. They are liars and cowards.

Please pardon me resurrecting my old RKBA list. I thought I would temporarily resume the duty while FReeper PROCON is on the mend.
As for slick Willie's opinion on gun control, well, we told him where to stuff that twenty years ago and that goes double now.
Get those inner-city orcs you've deliberately bred en mass under control, you wasted perv, and then get back to us law-abiding folks.

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws (the government) will have guns.
