Bill Clinton on gun violence: ‘We must act now’
The Hill ^ | 11/02/2022 | JULIA SHAPERO

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.

If Paul Pelousy had used a gun, he could have avoided being attacked by a guy with a hammer. Maybe.

That’s assuming it even happened.

Not just one, but two lies in one sentence. The AWB had no effect one murders, because long guns don’t kill many people. It had bipartisan support to allow it to sundown, not renew.

His “solution” is the same as all the anti-gunners, ban certain guns seldom used in crimes and make it more difficult for the law abiding to purchase firearms.
