WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Flags are lowered, sorrowful statements are issued, pleas to lawmakers are made, again.
In the wake of two mass shootings in California this week, President Joe Biden has followed a heartfelt and familiar script of outrage and grief over gun violence in America, coupled with a renewed call for Congress to pass legislation banning assault-style weapons.
Such a ban has little chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives or the Senate, which is narrowly controlled by Democrats, political experts say.
But Biden's stubborn strategy continues: make a ban the focus of public discourse whenever a mass shooting occurs and put pressure on lawmakers who oppose one. The White House hopes to build on already strong public support for stricter gun safety laws overall, and ultimately try to pressure Republicans in Congress into changing their thinking.

-and it appeals to one of his loyal demographics--ignorant suburban women without husbands--
I haven’t read the article, but I bet Biden does it because he’s Awesome.
Well if they ban “assault weapons” then all the “assault weapons” will disappear.
The same with fentanyl. They banned the possession of recreational fentanyl and, oh wait, never mind.
The border is wide open. BLM and Antifa can do as they please. Elections are rigged. The Dollar is losing reserve currency status with a huge chuck of the world. Free speech is suppressed and prisons are being emptied out wholesale. Cartels and drug gangs operate with impunity. And Hollywood, the US Government, Academia and the US military and intel community and FBI speaks of me, a while older male, with the exact same rhetoric used against Jews in the 1930s....
And you think NOW is the time I am giving up my AR-15?
GFY copper.
...I believe virtue signalling is also something to consider....”Look at me...! I’m trying my darndest to ban these assault weapons [whatever they are...] but those damned gun-loving, Constitution-respecting, church-going, family-odriented conservative rednecks just won’t let me....!!”
Exactly. The female voter crowd is easily seduced with anything done in the name of “safety”. Look at covid for exhibit A.
It’s just the next step toward their goal of total disarmament.
The Ukranian people would have to cross an ocean if they decide the source of their troubles is coming from Washington D.C. and choose to do something about it. People in the heartland of the US? Not so much.
If you are in Ukraine, America will gladly give you, at American’s expense, all sorts of assault weapons.
This lying piece of sh*t is trying everything they can get him to do to deflect away from the exposure of he and his criminal cabal.
No joke on what you said.
I drove from San Francisco, CA up towards the oregon boarder and back yesterday, on US101.
I saw probably 20 fentanyl related billboards. Most of them saying 1 in 5 deaths…..
Biden does what he is told to do,,,,,more than likely by Obozo.
I tried to sign in to MSM but it refused to accept me. I kept getting a run around.
The US public has used semi-auto rifles since 1906.
In the 1960s the news media promised that if handgun bans were enacted, rifles and shotguns would not be affected.
not be affected
not be affected
not be affected.
Like a broken record.
Then in 1984 they came for the rifles.
Copious amounts of dumbassery?
But the cartels would never ever traffic firearms across the border, that would be illegal.
Not this female voter-”safety” is being well armed and knowing how to use firearms-I don’t know many of those female voters you refer to-and we didn’t buy into the masks and vaxxes of the Covidians either...
Nope.
