Biden calls for gun reform after ‘wave of tragic and senseless shootings’ in recent days

[Social Media]

 

President Biden called on Republican lawmakers to “come to the table on meaningful, commonsense reforms” following several “tragic and senseless shootings” leading up to Independence Day.

The president’s Tuesday statement comes after a slew of recent shootings, including one in Fort Worth, Texas, Monday night that left three people dead and eight wounded, a Philadelphia shooting the same night that killed five people and injured two children, and a Baltimore block party shooting Sunday that left two people dead and 28 injured.

 

“Today, Jill and I grieve for those who have lost their lives and, as our nation celebrates Independence Day, we pray for the day when our communities will be free from gun violence,” Biden wrote in the statement.

Biden called attention to the first anniversary of last year’s Fourth of July shooting in Highland Park, Ill., where seven people were killed and dozens were injured at a parade.

Clearly, politicians don't have the stomach to amend an amendment.

Let's ban assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, but let's not jail the people violating gun laws. More gun control idiocy just in time for the election cycle. Should be seeing something on minimum wage, student debt forgiveness and reparations soon.

What gun laws are not being enforced?  How would you suggest enforcing them?

By defunding the police

So you can't answer either question.  Not surprising, I'm sure your "original" post was an unoriginal talking point you found at a pro-gun site.
