    President Biden pointed to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. John Cornyn as Republicans he believes he can work with on gun control.

Biden said there was a chance for compromise on gun control with "rational Republicans" such as McConnell, R-Ky., and Cornyn, R-Texas, during remarks to reporters Monday, though he warned that there is not much he can do on his own through executive action.

The president pointed to the possibility of expanding background checks and limiting the sale of certain weapons, noting that such proposals would have to come from legislative negotiation with the GOP and is not something he could do unilaterally.

But Biden expressed optimism that some Republicans may be willing to take his side on the issue after McConnell directed Cornyn to attempt to work with the White House on a potential compromise, arguing that some members of the GOP believe that the current gun violence cannot go unchecked.

Executive options are limited.  This is exactly what he said before he ordered everyone to get a vaccine or be ruined financially.

And here I was thinking that Slow Joe would never say anything to help make America a better place.

The only thing that would make this sweeter to me would be for Slow Joe to post of a photo of him and Turtle swapping spit.

Guns are not the problem so whatever the idiots do will not solve anything. The biggest problem with gun control laws or amy other laws is criminals don't abide by the law. There were many laws violated by the shooter in Uvalde. Last time I checked mass murder was against the law.
