President Biden told reporters and Democrat donors Friday that he owns guns, but that the second amendment is not absolute. Speaking at a Democratic donors’ event, Biden told the audience that while he owns two shotguns, he does not believe the second amendment covers all forms of firearms. In addition, Biden told donors at the fundraising event that the idea of ​​armed school staff was very wrong. He pointed out the strictness of military training as proof that it is not easy to “hit someone’s mind”.

It is not easy to pick up a rifle or a gun and blow someone’s mind.” Speaking to the nation after the shooting of Uvalde last week involving an AR-15 rifle, Biden called for the reinstatement of the federal ban on assault weapons voted in 1994 and expired in 2004.

JUDGE SAYS NEW YORK LEGAL BATTLE AGAINST NRA CAN CONTINUE According to the poll, 57% of Americans support tougher gun laws in the United States, up from 45% in a Quinnipiac poll in November. The vast majority of Democrats, 91%, support tougher gun laws than just 32% of Republicans. Historical checks are supported by 92% of Americans regardless of party, according to the poll. In 2015, when he was vice president, Biden urged Americans who want to protect their homes to buy a shotgun, not an AR-15. “You do not need an AR-15. It is more difficult to aim, it is more difficult to use and in fact, you do not need 30 cartridges to protect yourself,” Biden said at the time.
