The horrific mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton that left 31 people dead and dozens more injured have thrust the issue of gun violence into the center of the 2020 presidential campaign -- with calls growing louder in the Democratic field for the return of an assault-weapons ban.

The former vice president, in a CNN interview, said that a Biden administration would push for a national buyback program to get such firearms off the street.
Asked what hed say to gun owners worried that Biden would be coming for their guns, he quickly answered: "Bingo! You're right, if you have an assault weapon."

as long as he doesn’t get distracted by a young girl or woman.
That’s a brilliant platform. Keep it up, Joe.
Joes gropey paws are assault weapons when theres a ten-year-old girl nearby.
Audience member: Mr. Biden, which end do I point where?
Biden: Well, now, it's an election cycle and I guess I'm kinda sittin' on the fence about that one.
This article has been on FNC for 4 hours and has over 10k comments there. It gained 1100 just in the last 15 minutes.
This should pretty much end dunce Biden’s run.
Agree with you totally, just riffing off the “Assault weapons ban” that is the cause du jour
I'm afraid as with all their other issues, the question will be
Has America moved far enough to the left to vote away OUR GUN RIGHTS for their crack-brained emotional decisions?
Previous slogans:"It's for the children." "For a woman's control of her own body" "It's for our dear planet Earth" Now: "No more shootings. No more."
It”s almost here.
This doesn’t hurt Biden one iota. If you did a show of hands, every single candidate would agree. It gives Sleepy Joe street cred. No he just needs to pop a No-Doze and get in front of some microphones every once in a while.
An anonymous friend is in the market for a salt rifle.
Will these useful tools be banned as well?
One suspects that their strat is to successively and eventually define the assault rifle to mean any firearm.
They have, one suspects, held many meetings about this very topic.
.
Well he did care about the Constitution while VP why would anyone think he would be different as a President?
I agree; he’s in lock step with the other dem candidates. They are all to the left of Lenin/Stalin/Hitler/Mao.
We'll see, he's been leading in the polls up to now.
If his lead increases then his anti-2nd amendment stance has resounded with voters. If his lead decreases, then he's in trouble.
Either way, I believe all the dems anti 2A stance is going to hurt them in the general election. There are many democrats who own an AR or similar platform and who want to keep them.
If civil war has tp come. Better it come now.
Neither one of them will win on that plank. In years past, the democRATS poo-poo'd the idea that they wanted to ban guns. All they were looking for was gun "safety". Better registration of all gun owners.
It didn't take long for this new radical Left crowd to now openly say that is what they will do if elected.
New Zealand just did the same thing when the NZ Prime Minister banned semi-automatic guns after the mosque shootings. So far the ban and buy-back program has fallen flat on its face.
Only 700 guns have been turned in out of an estimated 1.5 million guns total so far. That's only 4.6 ten-thousandths of a percentage point compliance. And the problem the police say is, there was no gun registration program in place prior to the ban being ordered so they have no idea who has the guns. Epic fail.
In Australia, a gun ban resulted in only an estimated 20% of the guns being turned in. The authorities estimate there are still two to five million guns out there in the country that will not get turned in.
Criminal gangs have publicly said they will not turn in their guns. That announcement will preclude law-abiding citizens from complying further.
So before Biden and Harris and the rest of the commie crowd claim they are going to confiscate semi-automatic guns in the US if they are elected, they would best learn from other examples on the world that what they want to do will not work.
Americans will never turn in their guns to a tyrannical government.
The brain damaged POS doesn’t even know the difference between a semi-automatic rifle and an actual “assault weapon.”
But he’s coming for them, right after he’s done fondling the chests of little girls.
What Joe the Idiot doesn’t realize is the Bill of Rights was written to control what the government cannot do.
