Biden Celebrates Bipartisan Gun Control Bill, Pushes for More With Call to Ban “Assault Weapons”
Give them an inch and they take a mile. Hill: President Biden on Monday capped off a celebration of a recently passed bipartisan gun safety law with a call to take further action, including a ban on assault weapons. Biden spoke to a crowd of hundreds of lawmakers, advocates and relatives of gun violence victims on the South Lawn of the White House to mark the passage and signing last month of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in the wake of a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left nearly 20 children dead. At the end of his remarks, Biden acknowledged more needed to be done, focusing in particular on the availability of high-powered weapons (Hill). CBS: “Assault weapons need to be banned,” Biden says while calling for common sense measures (Twitter). Townhall: Biden today: “None of what I’m talking about infringes on anyone’s Second Amendment rights…I support the Second Amendment.” Biden, moments later: “Assault weapons need to be banned…I’m determined to ban these weapons again…” (Twitter).

The first ban of what he calls assault weapons didn’t have an effect, nor would another ban, there are millions of AR platforms out there and millions of large cap magazines. There might be a handful of individuals that might turn them in.
One just needs to look at NY and the SAFE ACT. The majority of AR owners have not registered their weapons.

I predict the new law will have limited impact. Most of the “ kids” being killed are in gangs or the killers are gang members. They don’t obey the laws now, they won’t in the future.

They can pass whatever they want, but we'll see if it stands up to SCOTUS scrutiny, which is almost certainly where it will end up.
