    Biden:
    And so, Biden wants to enforce the laws already on the books.
    Good of him to finally get on board with the NRA, et al

    Another example of hot the (D)ishonest prey upon the emotions of the ignorant.

    If the death rate from CV-19 was the same as the % of guns use to commit murder, no one, including the CDC, would have ever heard of it.

    Gun deaths have been an epidemic for my entire life in the good old USA and I am 80. It is not a recent phenomenon, it has just been getting worse year after year as we allow more and more raving maniacs to buy guns and ammunition.

    Coming from a Democrat it's likely less about enforcing existing law than giving the BATF a green light to harass FFL holders out of business. I trust Democrats with the 2nd Amendment like I trust pedophiles with a preschool.

    Probably an idle threat. As a candidate he threatened to increase Covid testing seven fold if elected.

    That said, enforcing law is nice I guess. I assume he will start cracking down on federal violations of weed law as well?

    Republicans trust Democrats with the right to keep and bear arms like the Democrats trust Republicans with the right to have an abortion.

    I wonder if he will let the DoJ prosecute Hunter for committing perjury on this 4473.

    LOL. Maybe. But the secret service has a history of shielding Hunter from the law in respect to firearms so they would probably prevent arrest even if charges were filed. Interesting. Very interesting subject I hadn’t considered.

    if Biden were serious about enforcing the law, he'd make an example of his son.

    It would be nice if he took the same approach to illegal immigration.

    Helpful hint to Biden, not that he reads these forums...

    start in Chicago.

    Ha ha, not if he wants to lose the Dems the Electoral votes of the states that legalized it. The Electoral College has great value keeping politicians in check, if you think about it.

    Biden didn't come up with this anyways. If his dementia riddled mind can even comprehend thinking about the future, I guarantee you he does not give two rat's butts about the 2024 election. He's focused on remembering what he ate for breakfast and which nurse will be administering his sponge bath at 6:00 this evening.

    I understand that handguns, they're made for killing - they ain't good for nuthin' else.
    Thus, you raise an important question.

    I seem to remember a previous administration that tried to order gun dealers to sell guns to prohibited people "track" them. In fact wasn't Joe feeble mind Biden part of that administration?

    This is of course another red herring thrown out to distract the public and allow politicians to avoid actually facing the challenges. The regs covering gun dealers are stiff, and you would be hard pressed to find any that would risk their license to sell wrongfully. The percentage of crime that relates to bad gun dealers is minuscule. It's like the assault rifle crap. 750 shot in Chicago in one week, NONE of them with rifles. None of those guns shot themselves, either- it was always the hand of a person bent on murder that used them as a tool..... but it's unpopular to point out the volume of black on black violence, and now getting unpopular to report the rising number of shooting of police officers- which seem to be mostly by black criminals.

    300,000 failed background checks in 2020 and given the lax (none)penalty applied to dealers that didn’t administer checks this is a step in the right direction.

    Next step is having background checks apply to ALL guns sales. That might actually make it through this Congress.

    How many dealers was that?
    How do you know?
    You cannot demonstrate the necessity for, or efficacy of, this restriction on rights of the law abiding.

    His speech was HORRIBLE. It was INSULTING. It was DEMEANING to lawful gun owners. And said NOTHING about what we are going to do to take criminals off the streets, NOTHING about what we are going to do to bolster law enforcement to get this crime off the streets. It was all about how the government will prevent law abiding citizens from owning weapons with which to protect themselves when necessary.

    As I heard one commentator not that when they panned back the camera there was not one else in the room except Garland. No rows of police captains and sheriffs showing their support. An empty room.

    How many was that?

    What did Biden say in his speech he was going to do about the CRIMINALS and getting them off the streets so they do not prey on the law abiding citizens and turn their communities into desolate areas of poverty?

    Do we have any inkling of law breaking FFLs? FauxJoe was blathering about them selling illegal gun out of the back door of their shops - really?
