Tucker Exposes Biden and Dems' CLUELESSNESS About Gun Control
Ronald Reagan Revealed the LUNACY of Gun Control in Inspiring Speech to NRA
Quote:PolitiFact weighed the background check gun control claims President Joe Biden made Thursday and labeled them “mostly false.”
During the gun control push, Biden said, “Most people don’t know: If you walk into a store and you buy a gun, you have a background check. But you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want and no background check.”
PolitiFact weighed Biden’s claim, noting Biden “exaggerated” and asserted his claim is “mostly false”:
Democrats have long used gun shows to justify the passage of more gun control. They often frame their appeals under the guise of fixing the so-called “gun show loophole,” intimating that criminals are using gun shows as a way to circumvent background checks and acquire guns.
However, on August 30, 2015, Breitbart News reported a University of Chicago Crime Lab study on criminals in the Cook County, Illinois, jail system. The study focused on “inmates who were facing gun charges or whose criminal background involved gun crimes.”
The Chicago-Tribune spoke with Crime Lab co-director Harold Pollack about the study and Pollack noted that “some of the pathways [regarding guns] people are concerned about don’t seem so dominant.” He noted very few inmates indicated using gun shows or the internet. Rather, they procured their guns in undetectable ways on the street.

Quote:Thursday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) insisted efforts by Democrats to take on what President Joe Biden earlier in the day deemed a “gun crisis,” and a “public health crisis” had more to them than was being revealed.
Hawley told fill-in host Pete Hegseth that Democrats, as they had stated during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary campaign, were interested in confiscating weapons and ultimately taking away one’s right to bear arms.
“This is really about confiscating weapons. I mean, this is what the left has wanted to do for a long time. This is what half the presidential candidates or more on the Democrat side ran on just a year ago, in their primaries, and at the end of the day, the only way to make work with Biden and the others want to do, and the legislation they propose is to have a national gun registry, and ultimately to take away firearms from law-abiding citizens. That is where this is headed. That’s what many of them have been open, many Democrats have been open about wanting to do is anti-gun activists who he is trying to put it the ATF that’s what that’s what he wants to do.”
“So, this is where it’s headed,” Hawley continued. “And can I just, by the way, say that this idea that somehow cracking down on the Second Amendment is going to help revitalize economic prospects for the working class. This from Joe Biden, the guy who has presided over millions of jobs going to China, who has thought that that’s a great deal, whose economic policies and the Obama-Biden Administration hollowed out the working class. And now he says if I take away your right to bear arms, that that’ll be good for you economically. I mean, it’s just this is insanity.”

Quote:Biden senior adviser Cedric Richmond said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that President Biden was determined to do “something about gun violence” so Republicans who “have hid behind the Second Amendment for far too long” need to respond to public demand for gun regulations on “weapons of war.”
Richmond said, “I know President Biden’s passion about doing something about gun violence and creating sensible gun laws along with Vice President Harris, and I think the country is shifting too.”
He continued, “Republicans and NRA have hid behind the Second Amendment for far too long. When the Second Amendment was written, people were stuffing gunpowder into a musket to shoot. Now you have guns that can shoot 100 rounds in a minute, and that’s just completely different. These are weapons of war. They’re weapons of mass destruction. They have no place on the streets of America. We have a president now who will call out all of those who oppose safe neighborhoods, safe streets, and stopping the carnage on the streets of America.”
Guest-host Nicolle Wallace said, “I say this with respect, Cedric, but have you met today’s Republican Party?”
Richmond said, “I have, but I think that the people in the country are more powerful than they’ve ever been and that the demand is there.”
He added, “Public support for sensible gun regulations up in the 80s, almost at 90%. For some things like universal background checks, it’s in the 90s. I think Republicans are either going to move with the times, or the voting population will move them out.”
