In an interview with Univision, President Biden made it clear that he is more than willing to bypass our Second Amendment rights through executive action. He also used this platform to unjustly criticize former President Trump’s steadfast commitment to these constitutional liberties.
Biden showed no hesitation when asked about sidestepping Congress to further his anti-gun agenda, exploiting his interactions with Uvalde shooting victims’ families for emotional leverage.
During the interview, Univision’s Enrique Acevedo asked, “[G]un violence remains the number one cause of death for children in America. Latinos have made it a top priority across the country, especially in places like El Paso and Uvalde in Texas. Your administration called on Congress to pass common-sense gun laws, but that’s unlikely to happen in the next few months. If you’re re-elected, would you consider taking further executive action on this issue?”
Biden then openly revealed his intentions to infringe upon our rights by advocating for measures such as assault weapons bans, limiting magazine sizes, and universal background checks.
He underscored his ambition to limit access to firearms, including those he incorrectly labels as ‘weapons of war,’ citing his experience teaching the Second Amendment – an interpretation that starkly contrasts with that of many patriotic Americans.
Biden declared, “Absolutely. Look, I, along with Dianne Feinstein, passed the first limitation on assault weapons and the number of bullets that could be in a rifle. The idea anybody needs 100 rounds in a rifle, in an AR-15, I was out in Uvalde. I met with every one of those families. I spent four hours with them. I looked at the pain in their faces. I saw what they felt. I could feel it.”
In his continued attempt to distort Trump’s position on gun control and background checks, Biden conveniently omitted that Trump has always been a strong advocate for responsible gun ownership.
“You couldn’t own a cannon. You couldn’t — you could own a rifle or a gun, but there were certain things you couldn’t do. They weren’t weapons of war. And so, look, we passed the first major gun legislation in over 30 years when we passed the law that we recently passed that outlaws weapons that are made that you can’t trace and so on and so forth,” he added.
“And — but it’s not enough. I think we have to do more, and I am absolutely committed. And I’ve asked the Congress, and if I get a Congress and get re-elected, we’re going to do it again. We’re going to make sure we eliminate these weapons.”
