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.

If the last impeachment vote is any indication, then they have those votes. We are so effed.
eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers“
The money quote. The rest is fluff. The real goal is revealed.
If you’re in a state that goes along with this nonsense, they will probably just try to get officer friendly or local SWAT teams to take your weapons. Or, if your state is un-cooperative, maybe the effort will come with a side order of Antifa and their favorite drink, Molotov cocktails.
Just be prepared for anything. Don’t be like those families picknicking on the fields at Bull Run just before the Union and Confederate soldiers stopped by to dance.
I hope the registration request letter that you get is soft enough for your tushy.
He has early onset dementia. He will eventually step down and let Commie-La, the brains of the outfit, run the show.
And in other news, Linn Wood is still an idiot.
Only a small percentage of gun owners actually registered their guns under New York’s SAFE Act and Connecticut’s equivalent legislation.
If you’re using the Edge browser, like I am at the moment, that could be why. With Edge, the pics don’t show up for me.
So I would only have to separate the upper from the lower on my .22 LR and I wouldn't have to register? Piffle! I would prefer to have my gun at the ready, once it's properly sighted.
So I will disobey.
No thanks.
Oh, you meant Biden. Never mind. :-)
the 2nd and 14th Amendments should entitle you to carry open or concealed in every state, without federal or state interference, in the USA, as well as to do so without federal interference in the territories and protectorates.
And that’s why we must take off and nuke them all from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Joe-Chi-Minn has already threatened an exec order if congress doesn’t act quickly enough. His puppet masters are moving at wharp speed.
😄 That would be awesome.
If I recall, it has to do with the bolt and/or firing mechanism and magazine having to be in the same device. Ergo, neither an AR upper nor lower are ‘firearms’ as described in the statute. The DOJ has been plea bargaining away cases to avoid this from becoming precedent.
Hey Joe.
Kindy f___ off.
Biden isn’t FIT to be a Walmart Greeter, let alone President of These United (sort of) States!
This is an impeachable offense!
A breach of his oath.....
Impeach Biden now!
