President Joe Biden announces immediate BOLD executive actions to stop gun violence | FULL EVENT

President Joe Biden decried the epidemic of gun violence in America as an "international embarrassment" as he rolled out a series of executive actions intended to address the issue.

"Nothing I’m about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment," Biden said in the Rose Garden. "They're phony arguments suggesting these are Second Amendment rights at stake with what we’re talking about. But no amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute."

"So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we’re recommending are contrary to the Constitution," he added. "Gun violence in this country is an epidemic. And it’s an international embarrassment."

Biden, flanked in the Rose Garden by Vice President Harris and Attorney General Merrick Garland, outlined six measures his administration will pursue to try and curb gun violence.

Biden directed the Justice Department to propose rules to slow the use of "ghost guns," which are homemade weapons or firearms without a serial number that are more difficult to track; to propose model "red flag" legislation that could help identify potentially dangerous individuals with weapons; and to reclassify pistols modified with stabilizer braces to be subject to the National Firearms Act.

Does anyone see the irony that this entire press conference is protected by AR-15's?

[jonathanharpe]

It’s been said plenty of times. I’m going bring it up again. How exactly are laws going to stop criminals ?

[iowawizkid]

LIE, LIE and LIE again. Any person trying to buy a stripped lower receiver needs to complete an NICS, which is an electronic background check run by the ATF

‘Keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.’ Remove them from law enfarcement.

[skenzyme]

This tyrant has to go. We’ll be keeping our guns, thanks.

[williamdillard]

Defund the police and take away the means for people to defend themselves makes good sense to me.🤔

[wanderingweederspapa]

I don't need this crook telling me anything about gun control or coming to a Jesus' moment.. law abiding gun owners above by the letter of the law to own guns

[dylanseltzer]

He says “ghost guns” like he just learned what tf it was

[qbraun]

Hey, was it just me or did Biden actually complete more sentences this time? That's saying something for a guy who has trouble with stairs and complete sentences.

[tonyshawshank]

He makes me sick everytime I see him. Mumble, jumbo, Joe.... he sounds like a old lawnmower trying to start, sitting all winter. Um blaw blaw chaw chaw, what?

[chrisws]

I thought violent crimes mentioned were already illegal.

[warhead.]

MORE LETHAL? Tell me how an arm brace makes a rifle more lethal. Get this guy out of my face.
