President Joe Biden again urged Congress to pass an assault weapon ban following a mass shooting over the weekend at a Colorado LGBTQ nightclub that left five people dead and 25 wounded.While there are varying definitions of assault weapons, they generally include semi-automatic rifles with a detachable magazine and pistol grip. These types of firearms were used in numerous mass shootings this year.
“When will we decide we’ve had enough?” Biden said. “We must address the public health epidemic of gun violence in all of its forms. Earlier this year, I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly three decades, in addition to taking other historic actions. But we must do more. We need to enact an assault weapons ban to get weapons of war off America’s streets.”Earlier this year, Congress passed a bill that included the most significant new gun control laws in decades.
While that bill garnered some Republican support, there has been nearly universal opposition among Republicans to a renewed assault weapon ban.

Oh yeah let’s make it immediately political.
He should be urging district DAs to be more tough on crime! The suspect should've been put in jail when he threatened his mom & neighborhood with a bomb in '21 but all he got was a slap on the wrist! 🙄
Close the border

That's how you know that there will be a LOT of mass shootings between now and 1/3/23. When there's a tragic event, and Commie politicians IMMEDEATLY start trying to capitalize on it, then you know something stinks to high Heaven.

This is a Mental Health issue & NOT a Gun issue. Let's get this straight once and fir all. Let's get to the REAL THREAT to America which is Biden not closing our Southern Border AND Biden & Hunter's DANGEROUS relationship with CHINA 🇨🇳!! CONVICT BIDEN OF TREASON IMMEDIATELY!!!
Would work better if DEFECTIVE people could not own weapons ….
Guns don't mass kill people, psychopaths do.
Thank you for the for the applause oh sorry for I know my phone turned off thank you for all my hard working people in latin america and also those from here the americans who support us where we are at
No.
Please, define 'assault weapon.' Thank you.
Should we also ban hammers?
All I have heard on the news was that it was a 'long gun'.
Whenever politicians jump in so fast on tragedies for their own political gains, it makes me more and more cynical. They should let things calm down, and be more loving.
