|
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 20, 2022
|
Tweet - "On the ten-year anniversary of the Aurora theater mass shooting, we must remember the 12 lives lost in this horrific tragedy. Congress must continue to fight for commonsense gun laws. These tragedies must stop."

Pres. Joe Biden

|
Tweet - "Thirteen people died and more than 30 were injured in Fort Hood. 17 died and 17 were injured at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. In both places and countless others, red flag laws could have stopped the shooter. The Safer Communities Act provides funding for those laws."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| July 11, 2022
|
Tweet - "With the Safer Communities Act, we've moved the mountain of obstruction and indifference that has stood in the way of gun safety laws for decades. Now -- in the name of those we've lost in elementary schools, grocery stores, parades -- it's time to galvanize that movement."
|
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."
