Here’s what Biden wants to see from Congress:
- Ban assault weapons
- Ban high-capacity magazines
- Raise gun purchase age from 18 to 21
- Repeal gun manufacturers’ lawsuit immunity
Read story here. None of this will see the light of day, because Republicans — who consider books more dangerous to school children than unregulated guns — won’t allow it to. Just how awful are Republicans on guns?
- The House Judiciary Committee passed “Protecting Our Kids Act,” a gun-control bill, without Republican support. See story here.
- There are more guns than people in America, but a few people own most of them. Find out who here (as if you need to wonder).
- Meanwhile, a GOP congressman urges (Republican) voters to take guns to the polls when voting (read about that here).
And then, of course, there are the stories about Republican members of Congress sneaking loaded guns through airport checkpoints and even onto the House floor. You need to have very limited expectations of Republicans. Most of them have a Jesse James mentality.
