It’s almost standard for President Joe Biden to call for an assault weapon ban after a mass shooting, even when the killer didn’t use a firearm that would be banned under his pet legislation. For anti-gunners, that’s largely irrelevant. They want these guns prohibited anyway, so the president calling for a ban is normal.
But most people look at the incident and make judgments based on that incident.
Recently, there were two big shootings. One was UNLV and another was a spree shooting in Austin, Texas.
And, just as sure as the sun will come up, Biden is calling for an assault weapon ban.
He called for not just that ban, though, but for “high-capacity magazine” bans, national red flag laws, mandatory storage laws, and universal background checks.
