THE BIDEN PLAN TO END OUR GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC [View all] ancianita Jun 2022 OP

Great Plan SoCalDavidS Jun 2022 #1

It is. And he'll do much of it through the Executive Branch, not the Legislative Branch. ancianita Jun 2022 #3

There is one thing on that list that can be done via EO DetroitLegalBeagle Jun 2022 #6

That should read "as President, Biden will beg and plead with Manchin and Sinema to pass..." nt Fiendish Thingy Jun 2022 #2

Or he'll get Chuck to do a carve out? ancianita Jun 2022 #4

Needs Manchin and Sinema to approve a carve out. DetroitLegalBeagle Jun 2022 #7

As President he'll make sure that enough Democrats are elected to the Senate FakeNoose Jun 2022 #8

Just asked my Senators and Congresscritter to support this plan in its entirety. TygrBright Jun 2022 #5

Do all you can by presidential order and then some. Let the killer supporters kacekwl Jun 2022 #9

Exactly. Also, starting his plan with "a national health threat" opens a door to action. Also, ancianita Jun 2022 #10

How did Bush 43 allow the AWB to expire? Zeitghost Jun 2022 #13

He was pressured by Republicans who didn't want to continue the AWB. ancianita Jun 2022 #16

Pressured to do what? Zeitghost Jun 2022 #20

Not to fight for the Assault Weapons Ban 10-year sunset clause to be extended. So he caved. ancianita Jun 2022 #21

I guess he could have been a better cheerleader Zeitghost Jun 2022 #25

He followed in Reagan's poser footsteps as a tough moderate who caved to the worst of his party. ancianita Jun 2022 #26

I'm not hearing anything about executive actions Novara Jun 2022 #15

I knew he wouldn't. His plan can press manufacturers, but maybe he doesn't want to tip them off. ancianita Jun 2022 #17

He's pretty much avoided using EOs for anything. Voltaire2 Jun 2022 #42

Re-instate the assault weapons ban that W let expire and start a buy-back like Canada is doing. Evolve Dammit Jun 2022 #18

The data on no dead children and fewer overall gun deaths might help sell this idea. ancianita Jun 2022 #22

That might be the DNC or MSM job to show the real numbers? Evolve Dammit Jun 2022 #28

Sure. Unfortunately, DNC campaigns with constant PHOTOS of the carnage of innocents will help, too. ancianita Jun 2022 #30

I appreciate your ideas. I think the die has been cast and it will be a bloody time. I don't say Evolve Dammit Jun 2022 #34

Yes. And in allowing the ongoing death of innocence, undoes its own identity as America. ancianita Jun 2022 #24

No matter what is passed, nothing will matter if failing to ENFORCE the laws is not made a big crime Samrob Jun 2022 #27

Exactly. Who polices the police. Who enforces laws. Enforcement has been the real democracy crisis. ancianita Jun 2022 #29

All of this!!! nt Samrob Jun 2022 #33

"In the last 20 years, more school age kids have died by gun than police and soldiers combined." SunSeeker Jun 2022 #36

We need to lead every speech with that statistic. ancianita Jun 2022 #38

It's not being 'defeatist' to acknowledge the truth. J_William_Ryan Jun 2022 #40
