“Assault weapons are designed for the battlefield and pose a serious public safety risk, making it easier for shooters to kill more people more quickly.
In the past decade, shooters armed with assault weapons have wreaked havoc in our nation’s public spaces, from movie theaters and schools to churches, festivals, and city streets. These civilian versions of weapons created for the military are designed to kill humans quickly and efficiently. In the absence of federal legislation regulating assault weapons, states must take it upon themselves to protect their residents from these deadly weapons.”
“WE WON’T ACCEPT ANY MORE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WITHOUT COURAGE AND ACTION.”
Kamala Harris To Congress: Assault Rifles Are ‘Weapons Of War,’ Ban Them
“It is time for Congress to act, and stop with the false choices,” Vice-President Kamala Harris told CBS’ Gayle King. “This is not about getting rid of the Second Amendment. It’s simply about saying we need reasonable gun safety laws. There is no reason why we have assault weapons on the streets of a civil society. They are weapons of war. They are designed to kill a lot of people quickly.”
President Biden
We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We can close loopholes in our gun background check system.
This is not a partisan issue — it’s an American issue that will save lives. Congress needs to act.
