President Joe Biden marked the third anniversary of the deadly Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. school shooting on Sunday by asking Congress to pass strict gun control, including an “assault weapon” ban.

At the end of his statement, Biden said simply, “I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”

Biden’s request matches the same gun control policies listed on his campaign website during the 2020 presidential campaign, which he referred to as “constitutional, common-sense gun safety policies.”

Here is Biden’s full statement below:

Three years ago today, a lone gunman took the lives of 14 students and three educators at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In seconds, the lives of dozens of families, and the life of an American community, were changed forever.

E/O to crackdown on our Constitutional rights.  That says it all.   

We give up our rights under the 2A and we surrender them all.

Pelosi might be able to keep her people in lock step on Trump because that's safe for democrats, but rabid anti gun legislation? How many democrat congress snakes are up for re-election in pro gun states, and how many of those are willing to cut their own throats for Captain Dementia?
