Not one thing SloJoe wants would have stropped that<\/p>\n
Biden Uses Sandy Hook Anniversary to Call for More Gun Control<\/a><\/p>\n Joe Biden put gun control back on the front burner, using the ninth anniversary of the Sandy Hook mass shooting to call for stricter gun control laws, according\u00a0to CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n Calling the shooting\u2014committed by a disturbed young man who murdered his mother and took her legally-purchased firearms to the school in Newtown, Conn.\u2014an \u201cunconscionable act of violence,\u201d Biden said he wants the U.S. Senate to pass three pieces of legislation. One expands background checks, another would prohibit gun ownership by \u201cabusers,\u201d and the third would reportedly create \u201ccommunity violence intervention\u201d programs under the \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d program.<\/p>\n CNN\u2019s report portrayed Biden\u2019s wish list as \u201climited scope\u201d measures. But the president\u2019s gun control agenda is hardly that. It includes a ban on so-called \u201cassault weapons\u201d and original capacity magazines. There would be waiting periods and other hoops through which law-abiding gun owners would have to jump while criminals would continue ignoring the laws and remain fairly well-armed.<\/p>\n This comes as\u00a0Rasmussen Reports<\/a>\u00a0a new daily presidential tracking poll showing Biden\u2019s popularity remains at a low, with only 21 percent of likely voters strongly approving of his job performance. On the other side, 47 percent of likely voters \u201cstrongly disapprove\u201d of his job performance.<\/p>\n An unidentified \u201csenior White House official\u201d admitted to reporters that none of the president\u2019s agenda items are enough \u201cto fully solve this problem.\u201d So Biden wants Congress to act.<\/p>\n That may not be likely with the midterm elections on the horizon in 2022. There is lots of speculation Republicans may capture at least one house of Congress, and possibly both the House and Senate, effectively slamming a door on Biden\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n For the present, CNN noted anti-gun Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is hopeful \u201cnegotiations could resume in the coming weeks to produce some bipartisan reform.\u201d But what does that mean? When CNN talks about \u201cgun reform\u201d and \u201cgun safety,\u201d they\u2019re talking about gun control. Grassroots gun rights activists call that \u201ccamo-speak,\u201d because it camouflages what gun control advocates are actually seeking.<\/p>\n The White House \u201cofficial\u201d said Biden is still looking for a nominee to head the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Earlier this year, Biden had to embarrassingly withdraw the nomination of former ATF agent David Chipman because of his advocacy of gun bans and tighter gun regulation. Gun rights activists from across the country flooded Capitol Hill with opposition to Chipman.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Biden is under fire for being unable to handle the current crime crisis in major cities, with violent crime and homicides on the rise. According to\u00a0Fox News,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cAt least 12 major cities, including\u00a0New York<\/a>, have already set historical murder records in 2021. Robberies and assaults are also on the rise, and retailers in major cities across the country are reporting an uptick in organized smash-and-grab crimes during the busy holiday shopping season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not one thing SloJoe wants would have stropped that Biden Uses Sandy Hook Anniversary to Call for More Gun Control Joe Biden put gun control back on the front burner, using the ninth anniversary of the Sandy Hook mass shooting to call for stricter gun control laws, according\u00a0to CNN.
