Biden Uses Harshest Language Yet to Threaten 'Assault' Weapons Ban

With only a few scant weeks left before the House of Representatives gets a big ol’ splash of red slathered on it, President Joe Biden is seeking to ride a wave of despair into legislative action on so-called “assault” weapons.

This week saw the Commander in Chief use his harshest language yet to describe the issue.

When President Joe Biden speaks about the “scourge” of gun violence, his go-to answer is to zero in on so-called assault weapons.

America has heard it hundreds of times, including this week after shootings in Colorado and Virginia: The president wants to sign into law a ban on high-powered guns that have the capacity to kill many people very quickly.

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick,” Biden said on Thanksgiving Day. “I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons.”

And then:

After the mass killing last Saturday at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, he said in a statement: “When will we decide we’ve had enough? … We need to enact an assault weapons ban to get weapons of war off America’s streets.”

The hyperbole will almost certainly warrant a serious response from the right side of the aisle, who’ve often accused the Democrats of exploiting tragedy to push infringement on the Second Amendment.
