Biden Calls for Gun Control that’s Already Law and Didn’t Work

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- Joe Biden brought his confusing anti-gun rhetoric to Buffalo, Tuesday – a city still grieving the loss of 10 good souls who were cut down Saturday by a hell-bound madman.

Even though most of the victims have yet to be buried, Biden didn’t hesitate to use the solemn occasion as an opportunity to advocate for more gun control, in this case another federal “assault weapon” ban.

“There are certain things we can do,” Biden told the grieving crowd. “We can keep assault weapons off of our streets. We did it before and violence went down.”

Even the FBI has acknowledged that the Federal Assault Weapons Ban that Biden referenced, which was a part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, did little to deter or prevent crime.

Besides, New York already has a stringent “assault weapon” ban, as well as every other anti-gun law Biden has ever called for. They’re codified into state law, yet none of them worked.

The mass murderer was not stopped by New York’s SAFE Act, which bans AR-15s and similar weapons. The state’s ban on standard-capacity magazines didn’t stop him, nor did the New York’s mandatory background check requirement or its Red Flag gun-confiscation law.

New York State Police were called to the gunman’s high school last June because he threatened to commit a mass shooting during the school’s graduation ceremonies. He was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital for an evaluation,and was released after a day and a half. However, this did not trigger New York’s red-flag law, which should have stopped him from purchasing a firearm.

Rather than infringing upon the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens, Biden should focus on why yet another mass murderer was “known to law enforcement,” yet no action was taken before he began killing people.

When will these politicians get it right, it wasn’t the gun that committed the crime, it was the person pulling the trigger.
Don’t blame the gun, blame the operator.

Dear president potatohead, call the FBI and ask them for the list of all crimes committed with a long gun. It should show about 60 crimes.

Democrats continue the with same narrative with every shooting which continue to rise. Shootings always do while their party is in control of the government,
While under their controlled states and cities crime rates are the highest in the nation. Biden has no thoughts that he can muster into a complete sentence without the teleprompter. Someone else’s thoughts for the president of the United States to read. Most times Joe gets confused looking angry and lost while his handlers have the best of both worlds. A puppet that is disposable at their beck in call.

What doesn’t Slo Joe know? That list is endless. This guy is nothing but a buffoon, aping for the leftist progs.

Interesting to note that he never went to Kenosha when that black criminal ran his vehicle over 50-55 parade participants, killing several. That was certainly a hate crime as well. But the optics were probably bad for this muddle-headed buffoon and his handlers.

Not just gun control, Dementia Joe never knows what he is talking about unless it’s ice cream. He has but 2 functioning brain cells left, the only way he stands up

One must remember the worthless braindead sock puppet if he doesn’t have a teleprompter or the easter bunny to run interference for him,he is nothing more than a bowel of pudding,his civilian disarmament have gone up in smoke. FJB/LGB

No law(s) past, present or future will stop a person who wants to kill people.

All true on the legal front. From the political front Slow Joe’s performance perfectly fits the “Lecture the Mirror” model of Progressive projection. Joe’s rant about the internet as a source of hate fueling hate groups and haters was a one sided indictment of………………………..himself. The boob in the mirror. Like Andrew Jackson before him Biden is confronted with a very unhappy and very hostile pubic on all sides. But it is his side, the Progressive New Left who are the rioters and the thugs in the streets. The escaped, or better termed released mental patient responsible for the Buffalo shooting… Read more »

This is more in the lines of what need to be wrote about, but what I am about to say is nothing but speculation & a conspiracy theory, that being said here goes. Is it just me, or is it that all of these shooting that has been happening over the last year or so, seem way to convenient, especially with the firearms being used. it seems that allot of the shooting, they just happen to have an AR-15, Ghost Guns, High capacity magazines, even though there is no such thing as Ghost guns, and/or high capacity magazines. that is… Read more »
