Majority of gun crimes are done with handguns the ban wouldn’t do much, but it’s election time gotta demagogue the 2nd amendment.
Awwwe. Old people are so cute when they are confused
Biden is so clumsy 😂😂😂
Let’s have a bad parent ban.
Guns are not going anywhere in the US. What we need to deal with is this hoodlum culture we have going on. These kids need better educational opportunities, and that needs to start at an earlier age.
Of course he does.
All the little followers jump in line now.
What if people stop illegal immigrants and abide by the constitution and just do it themselves because the military and the u s system is not.
Inappropriate timing without all the facts. The entire community is in shock. Be a leader Biden
Must have total gun confenscation now !!!
Drop all gun laws now or total gun confescation now
It looks like the old dinosaur got lost again.
who really cares what this man says? Get this doddering old geezer out of the white house.
While politicians have their family and home protected by armed security.
As if guns kill, NOT PEOPLE.
Celebrating 50yrs of Rap!
See Here we go AGAIN. WHY on Earth are we blaming the guns? They are NO more than simple tools. The WIELDER chooses how the tool is used. You keep attacking tools as if they can work on their own. They are NOT A.I. Controlled machines….. Yet…… Stop attacking the damn tools. Need to address the People using those tools improperly and illegally…..
Thank you for this story. Its a shame France publishes more truth about US gun violence than the US media. Thanks from the US!
That's the whole purpose of the attack, that and to take the media off of the trans socialist Democratic domestic terrorist shooter at Joel Osteen's Church in Houston. Joe Biden should have gave a news conference but no. Prayers for the 7 year old shot in the head in Houston.
The whole world is crying because of this
Do not give up your guns, America.
Lets start with the secret service.
The US republic party is behind the incidents that happened in Kansas city. This is being done at the behest of India's ruling party BJP. So as to please the passive crowd against me in India. In this, the people of India will win the BJP by a huge margin in the Lok Sabha elections. BJP has a good influence on the Indian Hindu community living in the USA to influence them to vote for the Republican candidate. Many times shot incident happened in all over USA in recent 12 years (including when Obama was president) planed by Republic party for the favour to India's ruling party BJP . This is simple mutual understanding between India's ruling party BJP and US Republic party. I called I influence your country(India) peoples passively for you and I influence your country (US Indian community) peoples actively for you . Democrat spread this darty secret of Republic party to all over US peoples. After that Republic party will not come in power again in USA forever. Russian and Israel government helping to Republic party for planed shoting in USA against Democrat governance.
Pass common sense gun laws now.
Gang violence with handguns counts as assault rifles now? Interesting….
Define "assault weapon" puppet.
