The New York Times - Joe Biden: Banning Assault Weapons Works
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 8, 2021
|
Tweet - ". @GabbyGiffords -- Your perseverance and immeasurable courage continue to inspire me and millions of others. I pledge to continue to work with you -- and with survivors, families, and advocates across the country -- to defeat the NRA and end our epidemic of gun violence."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 19, 2020
|
Tweet - ". @JoeBiden has taken on the @NRA and won--twice. As president, I know he'll do everything in his power to protect our children from gun violence and take common-sense steps to end this epidemic that has shattered too many of our communities."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Sept. 13, 2020
|
Tweet - "26 years ago today, the Senate passed 10-year bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines--it was an effort I was proud to champion. These bans saved lives, and Congress should have never let them expire. As president, I'll take on the @NRA and we'll ban them once again."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Jan. 8, 2021
|
Tweet - "A decade ago today my dear friend @GabbyGiffords was wounded in a horrific attack that took six innocent lives. Since then she's courageously worked to keep our communities safe from gun violence. @JoeBiden and I join Gabby in this fight: let's end this epidemic once and for all."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| March 24, 2021
|
Tweet - "A small business. A vigil. A neighborhood. A club. A party. A grocery store. In seven days there were seven mass shootings, as everyday gun violence has taken countless lives."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| June 29, 2019
|
Tweet - "Absolutely. We need a nationwide licensing and registration system, but that's not nearly enough. We must implement universal background checks, ban military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and hold the gun industry accountable."
|
Pete Buttigieg
|
| May 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "As a nation we must ask: When in God's name will we stand up to the gun lobby? When in God's name will we do what needs to be done? I'm sick and tired of it. We have to act."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Dec. 22, 2022
|
Tweet - "As president, I took action to rein in ghost guns, traffickers, and dealers, and signed the first major gun safety law in three decades -- helping keep guns out of dangerous hands and investing to combat gun violence. Now, It's time we ban assault weapons."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 26, 2022
|
Tweet - "Congress needs to pass universal background checks, ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and confirm Steve Dettelbach as head of the ATF. It's time to turn this pain into action."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 11, 2022
|
Tweet - "Congress needs to: - Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines - Strengthen background checks - Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws - Repeal gun manufacturers' immunity from liability We can't fail the American people again."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 4, 2022
|
Tweet - "Doug and I are praying for the dozens of people who have been hospitalized and those who were lost today in Highland Park, Illinois. This shooting is an unmistakable reminder that more should be done to address gun violence in our country."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "Enough is enough. As a nation, we must have the courage to take action and prevent this from ever happening again. It is long past time for our country to stand up to the gun lobby and pass reasonable gun safety laws."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Feb. 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "Every day in this country 316 people are shot and 106 are killed. Enough -- the scourge of gun violence has to end. Today, I traveled to New York City to meet with leaders and discuss how we can work together to reduce gun crime and make our communities safer."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Nov. 15, 2019
|
Tweet - "Families in America are shopping for bullet proof backpacks. Kids are going to school every day and thinking about where they'd hide from a gunman. This cannot be our new normal."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| June 12, 2021
|
Tweet - "Five years ago, 49 LGBTQ+ people and allies were enjoying an evening out at Pulse Nightclub. And then, in an instant, they were gone. Today, we remember those who died and their loved ones--and we recommit to building a world free from gun violence."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| June 12, 2021
|
Tweet - "Five years ago, we suffered the deadliest attack affecting the LGBTQ+ community in our history. Within minutes, Pulse Nightclub turned from a place of acceptance and joy to a place of unspeakable pain. As we remember those we lost, we must recommit to honoring them with action."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 9, 2022
|
Tweet - "Fort Hood, Texas in 2009 -- 13 dead, more than 30 injured. Parkland, Florida in 2018 -- 17 dead, 17 injured. Red flag laws could have stopped both shooters."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 1, 2021
|
Tweet - "Four years ago today, 60 lives were cut short -- and countless more were forever changed -- in a mass shooting in Las Vegas. Today we remember those lost and reaffirm our commitment to reducing gun violence across the country."

|
Kamala Harris
|
| July 13, 2019
|
Tweet - "Gun violence is the leading cause of death for young Black men in America. We must stop this. When president, I will take executive action to ensure guns do not fall into the wrong hands. It's not enough to just talk -- Americans deserve action."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| June 1, 2019
|
Tweet - "Gun violence occurs every day across America. Enough is enough. Not every life lost makes national headlines, but it's just as painful for those left behind. This is an epidemic plaguing our communities & destroying our children's futures. We must act now."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 19, 2019
|
Tweet - "Guns are the second leading cause of death for children and teens in America. We must address this crisis. As president, I will take executive action to protect our kids and families from gun violence."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| 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
|
| Aug. 30, 2022
|
Tweet - "I am determined to ban assault weapons in this country. I did it once before, and we will do it again."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 19, 2020
|
Tweet - "I made a promise to families hurt by gun violence to never, ever give up on the fight. Tonight, I make the same promise to you. #DemConvention"
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 1, 2022
|
Tweet - "I took on the NRA in 1994 and passed the assault weapons ban the last time. Mass shootings went down. But in 2004 when Congressional Republicans let the ban expire, mass shootings tripled. It's time to ban assault weapons in this country."
