|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 26, 2022
|
Tweet - "Here's something else wrong with the ex-president's record on crime: he opposes action on assault weapons. These military-style weapons kill cops -- and they kill school kids. We need to stop selling them in America."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 25, 2022
|
Tweet - "Leaders like Governor DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio, and Senator Rick Scott are all opposed to banning assault weapons. And to me, it's simple. If you can't support banning weapons of war on America's streets, you're not on the side of police."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 11, 2022
|
Tweet - "The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act closes the "boyfriend loophole," so if you are convicted of assault against a dating partner, you cannot buy a gun. ​​If we keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, we can save the lives of their partners and stop more mass shootings."
