President Joe Biden on Feb. 14 urged Congress to strengthen existing laws concerning gun ownership on the third anniversary of the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
“The Parkland students and so many other young people across the country who have experienced gun violence are carrying forward the history of the American journey. It is a history written by young people in each generation who challenged prevailing dogma to demand a simple truth: we can do better. And we will,” Biden said in a statement.
“This Administration will not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that call. We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer. Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
In the afternoon of Feb. 14, 2018, a man identified by authorities as Nikolas Cruz, now 22, walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and opened fire with an AR-15 rifle. The shooting left 17 dead, including 14 students. Cruz, who is currently awaiting trial, could face the death penalty.
After the shooting, a number of Parkland students and parents began agitating for stricter gun control laws, arguing that Cruz shouldn’t have been able to obtain a gun. But others pointed to failures by law enforcement, including safety officer Scot Peterson, who has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges for not entering the school building to confront Cruz, and urged restraint on new measures.

Using the ‘weapons of war’ concept....catapults, swords, and 700-year-old Mayan spears would all be classified as such weapons.
Maybe this will put more of a fire under our azz. The left is throwing the "book" at us. Let's remember,they now control the elections tight.
Listen, and understand. The Demoncrats are out there. They can’t be reasoned with. They can’t be bargained with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear, and they will not stop, ever, until you are disarmed.
from the people.
Gun control only works when everyone is controlled./s
MS-13 will vote Republican, then. They want guns, too. Bad news for Joe when they can’t even get the illegal criminal aliens to support them.
“...and they will not stop, ever, until you are disarmed,” and then they’ll just be getting started.
Biden is there for the time being. Trump is not. And even if Biden were to die or be impeached tomorrow, you’d have Commie Toes-up, not Trump. What can and should be done is resistance with all the intensity and fervor as the Dems resisted these past four years. Using every lever available, and making more available and then using them. Trump will be spearheading it in his own inimitable way, and he’ll also be a symbol of resistance. The Orange Avenger lives!
DemonKrat dictatorship on the way ....
Who spoke of civil war ? It has begun a long time ago and demonrinokrat launched it
“Salute the Marine”
I believe that's what I said in my post. Did you intend this for someone else?
Article is behind a paywall. No thanks.
...and it is doubtful disarming will stop them. They will get worse.
The reason for all that is because the CIA did that attack themselves. Then they blamed someone else they framed.
No they are not. They are just being used for communism and they don’t know it yet.
If they succeed, the governments here and everywhere will be shooting citizens daily/constantly/and en masse/etc.
I am truly not a violent man, but with everything else going on this to me will be the last straw for a huge swath of the country and there will be blood.
I guess my only wish would be that the ones tasked to perform these seizures are made up of a completely voluntary force, and not a bunch of young kids ordered under threat to do it.
I would sleep better knowing that those were the ones doing it, but that would be the biggest pipe dream of all I guess.
Who do you think will question how the population doubled in four years during a pandemic? Let’s take bets. We won’t bother with the democrats. None of them will complain.
I wouldn't trust those turncoat POS as far as I could throw them.
The consequences of those trying to enforce it could be even worse. Just keep pushing.
