Like so many discussions about legally purchased firearms, one side is advocating for their strict limitation without addressing the true villain: illegal firearms. This occurs because this administration doesn’t seem to understand what it’s talking about. Why else use vague phrases such as “common sense”?
But as long as Democrats hold a simple majority in the House and a tiebreaking vote in the Senate, they have the power to shove through sweeping, restrictive regulations that infringe the individual’s right to keep and bear arms. Even more frightening, the president has made it clear his administration has considered using “executive action” to curb gun violence. Surely, if the law can crack down on “assault weapons,” gun violence will finally be curbed.
