After declaring gun violence as an epidemic in the country US President Joe Biden reiterated the need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in the country. The President on Thursday said there is no reason somebody needs a weapon of war with 100 rounds in a magazine.“I know that the conversation about guns in this country can be a difficult one. But even here, there’s much more common ground than some would have us believe,” And while Biden had proposed the most ambitious gun-control agenda of any modern presidential candidate, his moves underscored his limited power to act alone on guns with difficult politics impeding legislative action on Capitol Hill.
We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country.
— President Biden (@POTUS) April 8, 2021
There’s no reason somebody needs a weapon of war with 100 rounds in a magazine. None.
POTUS on Friday tweeted with a video. In the video, the President ensured the people that every proposal is in line with the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment, one of the ten amendments of the US constitution comprising the Bill of Rights speaks about the right of people to keep and bear Arms. Assuring the Americans of their safety, he said the government will fulfil its first responsibility, which is to protect the people. Citing the example of the Brady Bill, he assured that the government will get the gun control laws passed. “It took five years to get the Brady bill passed and it took even more years to work to pass the assault weapons ban and it saved lives. No matter how long it takes we are going to get these passed,” he said. The Brady Bill, which was signed into law in 1993 requires the gun buyers to wait for five business days while the authorities perform a background check. The law mandates federal background checks on prospective firearms buyers.
