The irony of the president advocating for more gun laws while his own son faced legal consequences for violating existing ones was not lost on many.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/2nd-amendment\/2024\/06\/11\/joe-biden-pushes-more-gun-control-americans-hours-after-hunter-convicted-firearm-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">event<\/a>, hosted by Everytown for Gun Safety, a group heavily funded by anti-gun advocate Mike Bloomberg, served as a platform for Biden to call for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in front of a crowd that supports such actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time once again to do what I did when I was a senator: ban assault weapons,\u201d Biden proclaimed and then again showing he or his speech writers understand nothing about firearms, went on to say, \u201cWho, in God\u2019s name, needs a magazine which can hold 200 shells?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just three hours prior to his speech, the president\u2019s son, Hunter Biden, was convicted on three gun charges, including making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm, a crime that can carry penalties of up to $250,000 in fines and\/or ten years of imprisonment. Sentencing is expected in October, just weeks before the election.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s remarks came as part of a broader discussion about the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), a 2022 law passed with the help of Republican Sen. John Cornyn. The President touted the BSCA as a significant step forward, claiming it has allowed his administration to pour millions into promoting more firearm regulations and establishing the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p>\u201cWho, in God\u2019s name, needs a magazine which can hold 200 shells?\u201d \u2014 President Joe Biden<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He reiterated his commitment to banning assault weapons and implementing universal background checks, despite the fact that many law-abiding gun owners see these measures as infringements on their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of this violates the Second Amendment or vilifies responsible gun owners,\u201d Biden claimed, though many gun rights advocates disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the speech, the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign released a memo lauding the administration\u2019s gun control efforts and condemning former President Donald Trump\u2019s support for the NRA. The memo attributed a significant increase in gun violence to Trump\u2019s policies, an assertion that most in the 2A community clearly see as politicized and misleading.<\/p>\n<p>Campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz emphasized that the Biden-Harris campaign is doubling down on gun control, noting recent events and ad campaigns aimed at pushing their agenda. Vice President Kamala Harris even held a gun violence prevention event in Maryland, and the campaign marked the second anniversary of the Uvalde school shooting with targeted ads.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-next-post-navi\">\n<p>\nNext Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/oh-the-irony-biden-calls-for-stricter-gun-laws-hours-after-sons-conviction-on-gun-charges\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden holding an 80% pistol frame during an earlier anti-gun speech.
