"This Administration will not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that call. We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer. Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets. We owe it to all those we?ve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change. The time to act is now."

He can talk all he, or should i say she (harris) wants. Instead of this record number of executive orders.
Lets get some bills to congress, to see how they vote. I'd wager harris will meet some opposition, from people on the d side of the aisle, as well. Especially when it comes to any forum of gun control.

Some opposition yes, but any compromise would be devastating at this point. Let's hope there won't be any.

Zero Compromise!!!

All restrictions on the rights of the people to restrict the power of the government by the government need to be eliminated.

Absolutely! Unfortunately compromise is what got us here, and that's just how politics is played.

The President? Trump did not make a statement that I know of.
Joe was running his mouth from what I heard.

The major saving grace that we have is the likelihood of overreach and the fact that the nuttiest of the left will probably be the ones drafting proposed bills, which include the kitchen sink and all the plumbing too.

If more center-left dems write something terse, we could very well have a national AWB or worse.

Thankfully, it's the attention whores that are going to be tripping over themselves to introduce crap (thank god), and the center-left will be staying quiet, sipping on their wine.

That said, there is definitely a risk this time - for the first time since what, 1996? And I was laughing at people during the first two Obama panics (they're going to ban mah guns!). It never was a risk in that time. It is now. How much of a risk? I don't know yet...

Well, with only two bolt action rifles, I should be safe.[Sarcasm2]

My ARs have bolts, so they identify as bolt action.

Whoah. Did you just admit in an open forum that you own not one but two super accurate deadly one shot kill sniper rifles that can rain down death on unsuspecting innocent women and children from up to five miles away?
