In the wake of the tragic shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, President Joe Biden issued a statement advocating for stricter gun control measures, including an “assault weapons” ban. This statement was released at a time when specific details about the UNLV incident, such as the identity of the shooter and the type of firearm used, were not fully disclosed.
It was later reported by Breitbart News that the UNLV attack, which resulted in three fatalities and left one person critically injured, was carried out using a handgun. CNN identified the perpetrator as a 67-year-old who had previously applied for a professorship at UNLV but was not hired.
Despite these details indicating the use of a handgun in the attack, President Biden’s statement strongly pushed for legislative action against “assault weapons.” His proposals included banning such weapons and high-capacity magazines, enacting a national red flag law, implementing universal background checks, and mandating safe storage of firearms, among other measures.
President Biden’s statement, as quoted in part, emphasized the need for bipartisan support in Congress to address the ongoing issue of gun violence through these proposed measures. He also referenced the shooting spree in San Antonio and Austin, Texas, where the Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar reported that a “large caliber handgun” was used, according to The New York Post.
This call for an “assault weapons” ban, amidst incidents where handguns were used, highlights the broader debate and urgency in addressing gun violence in the United States, irrespective of the type of firearm involved. The President’s emphasis on congressional action underscores his administration’s commitment to pursuing comprehensive gun control legislation.
The corrupt weaponized departments covering up their lies and the criminal conduct of the traitor dictator wanna be are the reason why Americans are suffering. Getting rid of the 2nd Amendment has been the plan of the democrats and non American born president (African) and friends in order to enslave a country armed to defend itself against a tyrant government.
An assault weapons ban is Biden’s way of saying ban all guns from Americans . It’s just more smoke and mirrors from this complete clown
Biden breaks his oath of Office every day. Simply by not closing the border and securing America. He puts us in far more danger than our gun laws ever have. He has been compromised by China and who knows who else. And is guilty of treason. If he really wants to help America, he should step down immediately.
Since ALL mass shootings have been done by Democrats, why don’t we just ban Democrats?
I have always felt that the mass shootings have been done by Democrats. I am glad to finally see someone else has the same thoughts.
I personally agree with all of these comments and we must get rid of Biden and the Obama one who is whispering in Biden’s ear trying to keep his crap hooked in to this office he does not now nor did he deserve before.!!!!!
Yes the MUSLIM wants to disarm the USA ………..
The fact that Japan, Germany and others, never put troops on the ground of America is completely out of the minds of those in our government. You can’t control guns, you control the people. They have been at this stupid point of assault weapons and have no idea what they are talking about. We did not have more than a handfull of Republicans
that did anything about Biden and his Open Borders invitation. How stupid is that? and for it to continue for three years. The Obama appointed Judges, are busy with charges against President Trump, while Hunter Biden continues in his path. We will be decades trying to fix what Joe Biden has done to our country.
