President Biden vowed Thursday to push a ban on “assault weapons” before the next Congress forms — as he decried the sale of semiautomatic weapons as “sick.”
“I’m sick and tired of these shootings. We should have much stricter gun laws,”outside the Nantucket Fire Department in Massachusetts, where he met with first responders on Thanksgiving.
“The idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It’s just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers,” Biden argued. President Biden called for the ban of semiautomatic weapons before the new Congress forms in January. However, in an evenly split Senate, the president is unlikely to have the 60 votes necessary to overcome a Republican filibuster and the opposition to a proposed ban on semiautomatic firearms. “I’m going to do it whenever I — I got to make that assessment as I get in and start counting the votes,” Biden added.
He noted that his late son Beau Biden enforced them in Delaware where he served as attorney general — and that it saved lives.
