Biden Calls on Congress to Restrict Gun Ownership
The Epoch Times ^ | February 14, 2021 | Zachary Stieber

Posted on 02/14/2021 5:50:13 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

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.

"The guard in DC are traitors."

you know they are just like us, they had their vote stolen too, and they are also being told to shut up and accept it and quit telling conspiracy theories.

They are not traitors,

just flippantly being used as pawns, just like the politician creeps always do.

the politician creeps better be careful, if a REAL insurrection came down ( not the fake antifa false flag on the 6th ), the guard might just join the patriots trying to take it back from the Globalist Twits

Just referencing the Party of Satan as Terminators of the 2nd amendment. But of course they want more than that, as now un closeted minions of Satan they seek to terminate everything that is good, decent and righteous.

I would like national reciprocity, But I’m not sure I’d like what comes along with it. It would give the feds control over all the restrictions/rules instead of the states. Now if they made it national Constitutional carry, I’d go for it. Any reciprocity law would have to be very carefully worded, IMHO..

I wouldn’t trust it coming from Congress either. It would be great if SCOTUS mandated it like Obergefell. An explicit constitutional right is subject to all sorts of restrictions and legal liabilities, but if you want a freaking homosexual “marriage” in all 50 states, why any infringement is a criminal act. What a garbage country this has turned into.

As are so many other places.

This country is becoming more and more like The Hunger Games and Divergent, every day. Wonder what the political philosophies are of the folks that wrote those.

Take all those NG troops at the Capitol, take away their Multicam and give them the white uniforms the dudes were wearing in The Hunger Games and they’re the same thing. I feel horrible for them, the way they’re treated and the ridiculous justification for them being there.

They have pretty much decimated the First Amendment. Now on to the Second. Marxists on the march to total POWER!

There are two Dems who are on record as opposing ending the legislative filibuster.

We will see how much their word is worth.

Sinema has proven to be an odd duck. Just looking at her background you’d assume “raging commie” but she hasn’t exactly operated that way. You’d almost suspect her of being leftist libertarian.

The word of a Democrat is not worth anything. But if it makes you feel better, keep believing them. They take after their father, Satan, Trait for trait.

I use CCleaner Browser, which probably piggybacks on Edge.

No problem, though. I got Walter’s pic - Thanks!

Joe; wake up.

Cut from article I read Sunday night on Rapture Ready, my favorite Faith website:

Concerning gun control and world government: on Feb. 1, 2021, it was reported that a bill called H.R. 127 has been introduced in Congress (on Jan. 4, 2021) to track the make, model, and serial number of all firearms, who owns the firearm, the date each firearm was acquired, and where the firearm is being stored; it applies retroactively, and it covers firearms that a person has owned for a long time.

Those that already own firearms will be required to take a psychological evaluation, be subjected to a criminal background check, and their spouse and at least two family members or associates must be interviewed by a licensed psychologist. (What do you think of this crap????)

Congress has not yet voted on the bill, but it is important to understand that Biden has promised gun control legislation, and many politicians want to disarm America before they surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the UN.

Gun sales have broken all records since this bill was introduced.
