RIGHT ON TIME: Biden says ‘ghost gun’ crackdown should be ‘just the start’ on gun control
Nothing like a little extra-Constitutional action to try to boost those dogshit poll numbers, the all-time low credibility of Federal agencies across the board, the incomprehensible level of corruption out of your crackhead kid, and handling America’s enemies in the most idiotic, irresponsible way possible. They’re worried about 80% receivers when the guy with the nuclear codes is the laughing stock of the world.
President Biden has had incremental success at implementing gun control through executive action, rolling out a rule last year to regulate pistol-stablizing braces, directing his Justice Department to target gun traffickers, and announcing a new crackdown on “ghost guns” Monday.
While the president touted his administration’s actions, he also said that “this should be just the start” and called on Congress to pass laws on gun control, a politically contentious issue that has been deadlocked in the legislature for the past decade.
“We need Congress to pass universal background checks,” Biden said in the Rose Garden on Monday. “And I know it’s controversial, but I got it done once: Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
Biden was referring to the 1994 federal assault weapons ban that Congress passed when he was a senator and expired in 2004. A study conducted that year for the Department of Justice found that the “ban’s impact on gun violence is likely to be small at best, and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.”
The president also called for Congress to “eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.”
“Gun manufacturers have more immunity from liability than any other American industry, so they have never had to take responsibility for the death and destruction their products cause,” the president said Monday.
There was no comment regarding Big Pharma’s immunity, however. -NCS
