Biden vows to ban “Assault Weapons”

Another shooting, another call for gun control. Biden and the authoritarian left is boring and predictable... and always a threat to personal freedom.

Speaking from Buffalo, New York, Tuesday morning, President Joe Biden falsely claimed the ban on semi-automatic sporting rifles from 1994 to 2004 cut down on violence and shootings. He made the statement while pushing for gun control after a teenager killed ten people in a local grocery store over the weekend. This is a claim Biden has repeatedly made while attempting to take advantage of tragedy. But according to data provided by the Department of Justice, the ban cannot be credited with reducing violence or mass shootings (Katie Pavlich - Townhall).

“We can keep assault weapons off our streets.   We’ve done it before. I did it when we passed the crime bill last time” (Townhall video - Twitter).  What is Biden raving about?  Delaware, Biden's home state, suffered a 184% increase in homicide involving a gun from 1991 to 2015, the largest increase in all of the United States.  Whatever Biden's ideas are, they are bad.

Leftist gun control always fails --- it actually promotes violence.  The Democrats always promote regulation of the law abiding gun owners who do no crime with their guns.  We must respond in order to stay free.  Join the National Rifle Association
