Anonymous · Accepted Answer

The democrats would love to be able to take every gun from the citizens and leave them defenseless because it fits in with their long-term goals but the constitution allows citizens to own guns. Yes, there needs to be a better way to ensure that only sane, law-abiding people are allowed to have guns. There is also a fact, which you can look up, that most gun related violence occurs in democrat-controlled cities that have the toughest gun control in the nation! Criminals get really bold and reckless when they realize that they can do home invasions without having to worry if the homeowner has a gun to fight back. So what about Texas? Gun ownership is easy there. The transgender teenage gunman had mental health issues and was in a very small town with a obviously poorly trained law enforcement agency. They were not equipped or trained to deal with a situation like this. Also, there is an issue as to how this kid got his weapons and ammo. He had two guns with expensive mods. Where did the money come from? There is more to this story, I am sure. It was shameful at how these democrat politicians rushed to politicize this. They began their political attacks before the shooting stopped. Recently, there was another shooting in a subway in New York. All of the liberal press and the democrat politicians immediately went on the attack... until they discovered the shooter was black. They hit the brakes so hard! One frustrated reporter posted on Twitter... "... and the shooter was black! Damn... Damn.. Damn.. " They were so frustrated that they could not use this to advance their narrative. They wanted so badly for the shooter to be an unhinged white male, preferably wearing a red MAGA hat. 😂 That was their dream, anyway, and they were disappointed. The shooter in Texas was at least part Hispanic. One of the networks apparently thought he did not look white enough, so they actually used photoshop to make him look whiter. Propaganda is a scary thing...

No. He cannot pass legislation or amend the constitution on his own authority. A President’s power is mostly regulatory. They have far less authority than what people believe.

Not really. He can attempt some form of executive order, but there's a strong likelihood that anything he would actually try to push would be overturned as unconstitutional, or would otherwise be a redundant or ineffectual virtue signal. To actually amend the constitution and pass sweeping gun control legislation, an overwhelming majority support in both the house and Senate would be necessary, and the chances of that ever happening even on much less heated topics are zero.

Drafting and passing laws is the job of the legislature, jointly between the House and Senate.

there is a bill in one of the houses and apparently 40 or something people won't sign it. if this bill did get signed then gun control would change massively.

Goforit1010 · Answer

NOPE! He's not dictator here. He's required to follow our laws, like them or not. Part of the reason we have an uncontrolled southern border with illegal aliens is specifically BECAUSE Biden IS NOT following our immigration laws.

Gun ownership is outlined/authorized in our Constitution. To change that requires a MAJOR issue across the entire country involving state governments AND the US Congress. I can guarantee you, as horrible as what happened yesterday, that 2nd Ammendment to the Constitution will NOT be touched.

In truth, there are nearly as many killed in Chicago (Baltimore, NYC, LA, Detroit) on a weekly basis as there was at that school yesterday, and Biden never says a word about it.

Brandon does not even know what planet he is on. It is his administration who are evil. Why does someone think when criminals always will have guns they illegally traffic them.

What makes you think outlawing them will solve anything? As well as the only way to defend yourself against a gun is with... A GUN!!! If good people would carry it would end a lot of these things.

The guy went into a school because he is a coward and knew the children could not defend themselves there is many times no SRO's on staff and teachers can't carry firearms.

They also attack the police... So I never understand. These people are pure evil yet people fall for it all the damn time

Wonderwhat · Answer

It's the far right that prevents him from getting anything done. They rather have guns in the hands of a kkk member than protect your children. They talk about keeping kids safe, but they don't really care about the children. Everything communism to them.

NamerOfStars · Answer

No. It would have been (and was!) up to him as a Senator, but Presidential authocity is buch more limited. I can link you a copy of the Constitution if you like, but ih's not very concise. Basically, the main function of the President isn't making laws, but protecting the country from Congress. That, and acting as a whipping boy for the press.

Avicenna · Answer

He can't do it by himself (thank goodness). He needs to work through Congress and there would no doubt be legal challenges to whatever sort of overreach the Democrats would come up with in Congress.

The problem is not guns themselves- it's that many criminals and some of the mentally ill have access to them.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Biden can do so much. It’s Congress that has most of not all the control. And that’s run by republicans. Who believe in guns.. that’s not a bad thing. I believe in guns and the right to own them. But something has to be done to protect our children from facing death in a safe place.. I don't know what that looks like. Gun control may not he it

ArtemisSilver · Answer

He's a president in failing health with one of the narrowest (and most contested) election wins in history.

He can't even pass a budget let alone change the constitution.

I'm not even sure he can be properly angry about something because he's got the memory of a goldfish right now.

Bklynbadboy12 · Answer

Nope he can try to get gun reform but congress can veto it. What I want to know is why do people always thinks guns are the problem. The real problem is mental health what are we gonna do about that cause let's face it if you outlaw guns they still get them illegally. Plus you have to be seriously fucked up to go out and kill a bunch of innocent kids 😒

888theGreat · Answer

It has nothing to do with guns. It is people not being raised correctly. It is The Gov't trying to take God out of society. If you have no morals , you kill people, you steal, you sell drugs, you use prostitution and porn to make money. We have too many immoral people now and the Gov't creates them. They won't keep these monsters in jail.

Kiss_Me · Answer

No. The President is not a king. He cannot hand wave laws into existence. Congress and then the Senate must vote to pass the proposed law to the President. Then he can sign it into law.

However, gun laws need to be kept at the State level.

AviatorTom · Answer

He's angry because he knows that there's really nothing he can do about it, yet members of his party are pushing him for action... action that won't get any closer to a solution for something that has no solution.

Anonymous · Answer

My guess is you're not from here.. No it is not his job. the president has no power to disarm us. Its a constitutional right to be able to own fire arms. An amendment would have to be drafted and approved to repeal it.. which no one would approve. it would have to be ratified by all 50 states for that to happen.. which it never would. Most leftists in this country dont understand how the government works so their anger is misplaced.

RationalMale · Answer

What's worse is there were 2-3 cops on the scene when the killer arrived, and instead of chasing the killer down they waited outside to let him murder people.

What good is gun control when the cops won't protect people or stop killers?

jshm2 · Answer

He's only a president - not the supreme court. There is a limit to how much he can do against the gun lobbies.

genericname85 · Answer

he's just a demented and cognitively impaired old man with no real power, that is out of touch with normal human life due to his life in politics and wealth.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, America wants gun reform but they don't want to lose their right to bare arms and I agree with you

DARKCLOUD1945X · Answer

Joe Biden does not know what happened yet in his drug addled brain of course he is going to spout gun control to add to the hundreds of unenforced laws that are on the books for decades

Pterodon · Answer

We do have control over them. I’ve had to show ID and go through a criminal background check for every gun I own. What have you been smoking?

IsoUser · Answer

I am at a loss as to how a teenager with No ID 9 days after his quote birthday is able to buy a Military assault weapon not one but two in the state of Texas. ARE TEXANS FREAKING MORONS?
