Biden’s solutions all sound great until you think about them critically for even a few seconds, writes Brad_Polumbo. 'He apparently thinks that his empty gun control 'solutions' will still benefit him politically.'
President Joe Biden gave a prime-time address on Thursday, lamenting child gun deaths after the Uvalde tragedy and calling for a number of new restrictions on gun rights. There was just one big problem: The president’s “solutions” weren’t solutions at all, let alone the easy, commonsense fixes he painted them as.
The president’s push for an “assault weapons” ban, for example, might sound reasonable enough, but it is actually worse than useless. It would arbitrarily ban some weapons and not others based not on lethality but on how scary they look. What about federal “red flag” laws? These laws allow members of the community to report someone if they are exhibiting red flags of violent behavior and have their guns temporarily confiscated. They would really only make sense at the state level, though, not federally.
