President Biden renews call to ban AR-15 rifles after Trump assassination attempt

President Joe Biden renewed his call for stronger gun control Tuesday following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump after staying quiet in the immediate aftermath of the shooting about the AR-15-style gun that nearly killed the former president.

Biden did not mention guns or gun violence during his first three public remarks on Saturday’s shooting including during a primetime Oval Office address Sunday night. But in a speech Tuesday in Las Vegas at the NAACP National Convention, Biden finally did ? declaring it’s time to ban assault weapons like the one used in the shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

“An AR-15 was used in the shooting of Donald Trump, just as it was assault weapons that killed so many others including children. It’s time to outlaw them,” Biden said, drawing applause from supporters. (snip)

Biden waited three days following the Trump assassination attempt to make his latest appeal on guns. Biden had initially steered clear of an emotional and polarizing debate over guns at a time when he’s called for the nation to “cool down” the temperature in politics.

“Now, just because we must lower the temperature of our politics, it doesn’t mean we have to stop telling the truth,” Biden said in his remarks to NAACP members.

Let’s start by removing all scary looking rifles from the hands of the people who provide protection for Biden, the White House, Kamala, and all of Biden’s federal employees. Since the rifles are so Evil, we should start there. He’d be fine with that, right? Too bad elected Republicans just never seem to understand to play hardball with Biden and Democrats on this.

Gun control advocates said they hoped for a larger national discussion about gun reform following the assassination attempt ? but have applauded the efforts of Biden.

“It’s incredibly disheartening that we’re not hearing more calls to talk about the ways in which this shooter was able to really be empowered to shoot the president because of the easy access to a high-powered rifle,” said Christian Heyne, chief policy and programs officer at Brady, a gun violence prevention group. “I do think that the Biden administration has been doing everything they can.”

Yes, yes, let’s take the guns away from people who didn’t break the law. As for high powered, hunters typically use rifles that aren’t scary looking that are more powerful. Such as the Winchester 70 in .308 is much more powerful, and can be more on-target at distance than most “assault rifles”. Had the wackjob, who took the rifle from his father, used a typical hunting rifle we would most likely be having a different conversation about Trump, namely, that he was dead or on life support.

Reportedly, there are over 20 million AR15’s in the hands of U.S. citizens. Yet, how many shootings are really happening by lawful owners? Biden is protected all around by people with military grade/automatic rifles. Take them away, let them only have the “approved” rifles per the gun grabbers. Who would then come after those rifles.
