Biden's double talk on gun control

"This isn't about taking away anyone's rights....  We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines" -- Joe Biden (CNSNews)

"This isn't about taking away anyone's rights," says guy attempting to take away people's rights.

Biden went on, "It’s about protecting children. It’s about protecting families. It’s about protecting communities.  It’s about protecting our freedoms to go to school, to a grocery store, to go to church without being shot and killed."

Biden's claim is the old paranoia that guns in the hands of civilians will not deter shooters.  Except it does.  For example, the day after the Uvalde incident, a woman with a lawfully carried handgun shot and killed a man who had opened fire on a crowd at a children's birthday party in Charleston, West Virginia.  (Yahoo)

The Democrat's pets in the media don't want you to know about the countless times law abiding people stopped a criminal by either shooting or threatening to shoot.

A firearm is only as dangerous as the intentions of the user.

The Republican proposal is more flexible:  Allow teachers to be armed on school grounds. (Newsweek)

We already have laws against carrying a gun on schools grounds. We have laws against murder. Someone, on the spot, has to be the enforcer. As long as we don't enforce laws, they may as well not exist. Permitting teachers to be armed (but not requiring it) is a means to deter murdering children.

Biden's proposals are pretty sweeping.  According to the Committee's Democrat majority, the proposed legislation would:

• Raise the lawful age to purchase a semiautomatic center-fire rifle from 18 to 21 years old.
• Establish a new federal offense for the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of a large capacity magazines, with exceptions for certain law enforcement uses and the possession (but not sale) of grandfathered magazines.
• Establish new federal offenses for gun trafficking and straw purchasers and authorize seizure of the property and proceeds of the offense.
• Establish voluntary best practices for safe firearm storage; award grants for Safe Firearm Storage Assistance Programs; provide a tax incentive to dealers for 10% of amounts received from the sale of safe storage devices.
• Establish requirements to regulate the storage of firearms on residential premises; create criminal penalties for violation of the requirements.
• Build on ATF’s regulatory bump stock ban by listing bump stocks under the National Firearms Act (like machineguns) and statutorily banning the manufacture, sale, or possession of bump stocks for civilian use.
• Build on ATF’s regulatory ban of ghost guns by ensuring that ghost guns are subject to existing federal firearm regulation by amending the definition of “firearm” to include gun kits and partial receivers and changing the definition of “manufacturing firearms” to include assembling firearms using 3D printing.
