RFK Jr. Says He Would Sign ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban if it Reached His Desk

AWR Hawkins 29 Jun 2023

Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a NewsNation town hall on Wednesday night he would sign an “assault weapons” ban if it reached his desk.

When RFK Jr. was asked about an “assault weapons” ban, the question was framed to reflect strong Democrat support for such a measure.

RFK Jr. responded, “If we can get a consensus on it, if Republicans and Democrats agreed and it passed Congress, I would sign it.”

He made his statement about an “assault weapons” ban just minutes after intimating that guns are not problem. He indicated that Americans have always had guns, and that Americans used to bring firearms to school for “gun clubs,” and no one thought of shooting at children.

RFK Jr.’s admission he would sign an “assault weapons” ban came just over a week after he used a New Hampshire townhall to stand against the idea of taking away guns.

Anyone still think he's a viable alternative?

If you where a sane person, hell no.

[sneakypete]

That's "news" akin  to announcing "The Sun will rise in the east tomorrow!"

[mountaineer]

Of course he would. He is still a leftist.

[Bigun]

Of course he would. He is still a leftist.

Can he tell you what an "assault weapon" is?

Lest we forget, it was on the heels of his father's assassination that the GCA of '68 was passed.

@Smokin Joe

Wasn't his father killed by a bolt-action surplus Soviet rifle,and this resulted in the left trying to ban handguns?

Bob Jr. is leftist-approved:

Sherrilyn Sezso
@SherrilynJ77881
RFK Jr. is a liberal Democrat who is a lifelong environmental activist. He’s  pro-abortion rights, pro-safety net and affirmative action. He is anti-war and against our disastrous Covid response. And he’s a consumer advocate who fights to hold mega billion dollar corporations to the highest standards to protect powerless children.

I’m thrilled to donate to and strongly support his candidacy.

Just out of curiousity,why do you post here? Conservatives oppose at least half of that.

[Wingnut]

It will never reach his desk.   He is just pandering to his Biden Base.

Don't panic Briefers.  If trump would be elected he would Ban "Asset" we pones in a heartbeat.

@Wingnut

Ahh,so you are voting for RFK Jr if Trump gets the Republican nomination,huh?

Good to know.

I posted what some lefty nut on Twitter posted, just so all could see that lefty nuts love RFK Jr., because RFK Jr. holds positions with which lefty nuts agree.

Actually you are correct.  I plan to vote for RFK jr in the election if Trump is the GOP challenger.   

So now you know.  Tell Riv if you would.  Keep her in the TRB Trump Leg Humper life line.

That is a confusing post @sneakypete .  RFK was killed with  .22 caliber revolver.

[mountaineer]

True. And Bobby Jr.'s uncle allegedly was killed with a cheap Italian rifle, I believe. No "assault" weapons, to my knowledge.

[Fishrrman]

His position is no different than any other candidate in his party would be.

I'm not going to vote for him.

But from the way things are going, I think he's going to be the DCommunist party candidate in 2024, after ol' white joe gets ushered off stage (or takes himself off the stage).

The only other real challenger would be newsom of California, and I'm thinking that RFKjr. could give newsom a thrashing in any primary debate (assuming they have one).

And -- to take things one step further -- if he's their candidate in 2024, he may very well become president, by virtue of The Party's underground election apparatus in those states where needed.

So don't write off Bobby Jr. as being merely "a leftist".
He could end up becoming "the leftist" with "the mostest"...

Given the current state of the Democrat party, being a leftist is no detriment. In fact, it's a requirement.
 When I describe him as such, I'm not writing him off in the least.

My apologies. I did not realize you were quoting someone.

@Wingnut

Ahhh,you would blow a Kennedy if it would keep "Rude Orange Man" out of office,or just because he is a Kennedy?

BTW,you DO know your new lust bunny is also wealthy,right?

Or is it that inherited wealth and position doesn't bother you,it's those "Rude Orange Outsiders" that you just can't deal with?

@Smokin Joe

Nope. By Sirhan Sirhan, with an Iver Johnson .22 revolver, stopped by Roosevelt Grier. (His daddy was Bobby Kennedy, not John).

No way I'd vote for him, even if he does make sense on a few things. He's a mixed bag, but the issues we disagree on are deal breakers.

It might help to avoid misinterpretation for some to put the twitter part in a quote box. I knew it was a quote, but some folks might misinterpret it as your comment.

[mountaineer]

I didn't think anyone would think I was sherrilyn whatshername, let alone believe I agreed with a gun-grabber.
