President Joe Biden renewed his call for an assault weapons ban as he spoke Tuesday in the aftermath of the Boulder, Colorado mass shooting, in which 10 were killed. 'We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again,' he said, encouraging lawmakers to act. 'This should not be a partisan issue. It's an American issue. It will save lives. American lives. We have to act.' He also told U.S. senators that they should pass two gun control bills, which plug up background check loopholes for gun buyers, that passed the Hosue of Representatives earlier this month.

Somebody is always "calling for" the end of that which shall not be infringed.

Biden, you should leave the White House and Trump re-instated. This should be a bipartisan issue in wake of the massive election fraud and cheating in November.

The previous "assault weapons ban" had no effect at all on crime, as shown by reports commissioned by the US government itself.

The only gun law these guys will attempt to enforce is confiscation. Which I'm pretty sure is verboten if we still go by that Constitution thingy.

It would seem that Biden is in violation of his oath to uphold and defend The Constitution.

"This should not be a partisan issue" translates to "Second Amendment supporters should give up and accept the Democrat position".
We might do well to invoke the Founding Fathers' perspective early and often, because the BLM / Antifa mobs are close to wiping out all memory of them and their recognition of God-given rights.

"High capacity" for a Leftist is something that holds two rounds. "Assault weapon" includes anything that one could use to bash someone over the head, like an ashtray. When they are done with us, we will only be permitted to have muskets, if we are lucky.

This was done for a decade, had NO beneficial impact on crime.
The intent is to disarm Americans to make their totalitarian take over that much easier. THAT'S what this is actually about.

The 2nd Amendment will defend itself. We must all hang together... you know the rest. The results of the Slick Willy assault rifle ban will be repeated and there will be more murders by criminals who, by the way, do not obey the law. I will not put my family at risk. Molon Labe.

Pencils don’t make the spelling errors. Seek out Islamic terrorists and deal with them. That is who killed 10 people. Deal with reality

How about being a bit more discerning about who we let into the country?

Colorado already has a ban on "high capacity" magazines - didn't do any good did it?

He bought the rifle on March 16, and was able to pass the background check. Is there not a waiting period in Colorado, particularly after Columbine?
FTA:
In Facebook posts over the last 18 months, he complained about not having a girlfriend, ranted about President Trump and talked about his Islamic faith.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that he was known to the FBI because he was linked to another person who has been under investigation for something else. They didn't give any more details.
His brother confirmed he was the shooter in an interview with The Daily Beast on Tuesday, saying he was 'paranoid' and 'very antisocial'.
He insisted that the shooting was not politically-motivated and said:'[It was] not at all a political statement, it’s mental illness.

Nothing was done about the assault truck but AR15? Now that we can fix.

The nut job in Georgia did not use a rifle, he used a pistol, to carry out his murders.
