White House Reassures Gun Control Groups It Will Fulfill ‘Ambitious’ Gun Control Agenda

With control of the House, Senate, and White House as a backdrop, Biden administration officials in their meeting with gun control advocates conveyed confidence about enacting gun control legislation through legislative and executive actions that in the past had not gotten the votes.

On Wednesday, Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice and White House Public Engagement Director and Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond held a virtual meeting with leaders of gun control groups, including Gifford’s Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, and Brady, during which they discussed gun violence in America.

Rice and Richmond told attendees that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are ready to act to reduce gun violence and enact “common sense” gun laws.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Thursday that the Biden Administration is moving forward with fulfilling its “ambitious plan” of increasing gun control in the near future.

“During the campaign, President Biden laid out an ambitious plan to make our community safer. And that’s why in part, yesterday, senior members of his team … hosted a virtual discussion with leaders of gun violence prevention groups to discuss our shared goals,” said Psaki.

“We look forward to working with gun violence survivors and advocates and sharing more in the weeks and months ahead about our efforts to make our communities safer,” she added.

The main part of Biden’s gun control agenda includes banning the manufacture and sale of “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines, regulating possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act, buying back these weapons and high-capacity magazines from citizens, requiring background checks for all gun sales, ending the online sale of firearms and ammunition, and providing more funds to enforce these laws.

"Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?"

The passage you quoted is the REASON the Socialist Democrats and SPINELESS 'Republicans' have ALLOWED our 'Educators' to re-write, negate, and flat-out NOT INSTRUCT the past few generations of children in Publik Skrewel on HISTORY!

Doomed to repeat it? Most possibly!

Joek’s handlers can jam their phony gun laws from an illegitimate government up their Obamas sideways...

[Spok]

Fortunately Biden is a notorious lying POS so nothing he says needs to be taken seriously.

It’s going to get ugly. Americans won’t put up with Nazis and commies taking their guns.

[joma89]

Never give up your weapons. Democrats want us dead through the weapon called government.

Is it time to play Cowboys and NaziCommies?

and stopping the importation of overseas ammo from foreign manufacturers will make shooting a sport for the rich man only.

As long as we have our very porous Southern border and folks down there more than anxious to make a buck. There will always be vendors/smugglers of both arms and ammo. Best suggestion is to have at least one platform that uses central/South American military calibers as there has always been a ready supply of arms from those venues.

Wish TX would do like Utah. Constitutional carry,

[Taxman]

You got that right!

It will not end well!

[ScottinVA]

I will never give up my weapons. Ever.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Yes, and things would steadily escalate. Expect the sort of munitions that go boom to be added to the vendor inventory.

They suck at math.

Too many gullible people were fooled into boycotting elections and helping to shut down the NRA. The consequences are just ahead, and illogical wishes won’t stop them.

[HotHunt]

Anybody know what's happened to the NRA? They used to be the lobbying force for America's gun owners and defended their 2nd Amendment rights.

I heard they filed bankruptcy and were relocating their operation from New York to someplace in the south, but that's the last I've heard.

Haven't heard a peep from them since the democRATS took power and have initiated several gun control measures, especially this onerous one from Shiela Jackson Lee.

Are they still a viable organization?

Hamilton said, “ You won’t need the 2nd amendment until they try to take it away from you”

[stockpirate]

The British went to Concord Green on the way to our armory to take away our guns, we shot them.

Floridian here. As long as DeSantis is in the governor’s mansion, I feel at ease.
