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.

“It won’t make it out of any Congressional committee. “
Based upon what? The Dems run both house and are solid, and we are filled with turncoats who want to show they will make a deal.

I wouldn’t be to sure about the RINOs. The GOPe is pretty far gone these days.
That’s kinda my theory for now. They are still fighting over COVID and can’t figure that out now he wants to toss in gun control.
$800 firearm insurance would pose a hardship on some people.
I haven’t seen this much anti-gun propaganda being bandied about since the years after the murder of Bobby Kennedy.
The liberals think they have the momentum.
May take a lot of lead to slow them up.
After the 2020 covid lockdown and forced masking, after the stolen election, they are not unreasonable to think we will put up with this too. And it’s only a step in the direction of gun confiscation and repeal of 2A.
I’ve got a 55 year old book on “How to Convert Military Rifles.” And if you don’t think they will come for sports rifles just look at this old Herblock cartoon from 1963. It is certainly NOT an “A-s-s-ault rifle!

BIDEN’S handlers wrote this statement...
BIDEN has been in hiding all week end, after he did his slow trot on the grounds of the WH with Jill’s silly heart signs, and he looked totally lost during that trot...

I think so too.
I need some toilet paper.
Molon Labe, not just a trite saying.
Biden is a dangerous person because he is suffering from dementia. Beware of his presidency, it could be fatal for many.
