Biden Urges Congress to Take Action Regarding the 'Crazy Idea' of Owning an 'Assault Weapon'
It continues to be a shame that Biden and other radical Democrats don't take the time to learn about what they call "assault weapons." It's every semi-automatic rifle using a bullet magazine!

President Joe Biden is labeling the idea of owning a so-called assault weapon “crazy.”
While he was leaving the White House on Tuesday, reporters asked the president if there are any executive actions on gun control he can take in the wake of a shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee.
“I have done the full extent of my executive authority on guns,” Biden responded.
He went on, “Congress has to act. The majority of the American people think having assault weapons is bizarre. It’s a crazy idea.”

Monday’s shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville left three children and three adults dead.
The shooter was killed by law enforcement.
John Drake, the chief of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, told reporters the shooter was armed with what has been described as two assault-style weapons and a handgun.
During an event at the White House hours after the shooting, Biden called the shooting “sick.”
“We’re still gathering the facts of what happened and why. And we do know that as of now, there are a number of people who did not make it, including children,” he added.
The president went on, “We have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart.”
