Biden’s plan to end gun violence
Joe Biden’s Plan to End Gun Violence
https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/#
“Hold gun manufacturers accountable. In 2005, then-Senator Biden voted against the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, but gun manufacturers successfully lobbied Congress to secure its passage. This law protects these manufacturers from being held civilly liable for their products – a protection granted to no other industry. Biden will prioritize repealing this protection.”
Don’t stop there,Joe! We need to hold manufacturers of cars, knives, hammers, baseball bats and 2x4’s civilly liable when their products are used to kill someone.
“Reduce stockpiling of weapons. In order to reduce the stockpiling of firearms, Biden supports legislation restricting the number of firearms an individual may purchase per month to one.”
Joe, you don’t want to allow people to buy TWELVE GUNS EVERY YEAR do you? A common sense gun law would only allow 3 per lifetime. Who needs more than one handgun, one rifle and one shotgun?
“Incentivize state “extreme risk” laws. Extreme risk laws, also called “red flag” laws, enable family members or law enforcement officials to temporarily remove an individual’s access to firearms when that individual is in crisis and poses a danger to themselves or others. Biden will incentivize the adoption of these laws by giving states funds to implement them. And, he’ll direct the U.S. Department of Justice to issue best practices and offer technical assistance to states interested in enacting an extreme risk law.”
That’s great Joe! Anytime anyone pisses me off for any reason I can make a phone call and get their guns taken from them!
“Give states incentives to set up gun licensing programs. Biden will enact legislation to give states and local governments grants to require individuals to obtain a license prior to purchasing a gun.”
Kind of like having to pass a background check. Only a great man like you could have thought of that, Joe.
“Require gun owners to safely store their weapons. Biden will pass legislation requiring firearm owners to store weapons safely in their homes.”
Don’t forget you’ll need to give cops the authority to go into people’s homes at any time for no other reason than to make sure their weapons are “safely stored”.
“Prioritize prosecution of straw purchasers. “Straw purchasers” buy a firearm on behalf of an individual who cannot pass a background check. Biden will end those loopholes by enacting a law to make all straw purchases a serious federal crime and ensure the U.S. Justice Department has sufficient resources to prioritize their prosecution.”
Psst Joe...that’s already a crime.
“Notify law enforcement when a potential firearms purchaser fails a background check. Too often, when prohibited persons attempting to buy a firearm fail a background check, state and local law enforcement is never informed of the attempt. As president, Biden will direct the FBI to set up a process to ensure timely notification of denials to state and local law enforcement, and he’ll support legislation to codify this process. This empowers law enforcement to follow up and ensure prohibited persons do not attempt to acquire firearms through other means.”
That’s not enough Joe. How about a year in jail for that 50 year old who failed a background check because he forgot about that disorderly conduct ticket he got when he was 18.
