Biden says he's coming for assault weapons, as 2020 Dems urge new ban in wake of shootings

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.

~~SNIP~~

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 he’d 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."

Always go after the tool, never the user, unless they happen to be white. Then they can claim anything and everything they want - without the first bits of evidence from the person’s past, they claim they’re a white supremacist Trump supporter that wants to see all people of color thrown in concentration camps.

I find it interesting that all of the Democrat candidates speak as if they’re running for Queen or King. It’s all . . .

I’ m going to this

I’m going to do that

I’m going to give you this

I’m going to give you that

Nothing about working with Congress to do anything. Like their cronies the “Robber Tech Barons” it’s the public be dammed.

I figure we will see all of the Democrat candidates pile one with similar vows. I hope wobbly Trump does not listen further to Ivanka, Graham, and others, to come up with plans or compromises. What he should offer is federal pre-emption of state and local restrictions of the 2nd amendment, make ccw valid everywhere just like drivers licenses, and end deadly gunfree zones. Those three changes, tied to a constitutionally respectful red flag law, would be great improvements for everyone. Take the guns out of the hands of deranged crazy people suffering TDS and worse, mental patients, terrorist groups like Antifa, etc.

Very well said.

A good old No. 2 Ticonderoga Pencil can do the trick, too.

How do I know? Army Training, Sir! :)

If an assault weapons ban is legal, then we ought to pass press control that limits high capacity coverage of mass murderers limiting the amount of fame they can acquire in very little time.

I swore an oath to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I did so knowing that it may cost me my life.

I wonder if these people who want to take away our rights and freedom are willing to do the same.

I have my doubts.

“He is going to find out how tough the majority of the American people are.”

I hope the prick strokes out before he finds out anything.
