Biden pledges action on guns amid resistance
By Brett Samuels and Alex Gangitano - 02/15/21 12:04 PM EST
White House officials met last week with several gun violence prevention groups as they weigh how to move forward on an issue that has stymied Democrats for years.
The White House says President Biden is “personally committed†to action on an issue he has tackled many times in the past. Less than a month into the new administration, Biden officials are meeting with advocates backing reforms that Democrats have been pushing for in Congress, like strengthening background checks.
However, Americans' views on guns may be even more divided than the last time Biden confronted the issue. A November Gallup poll found support for stricter gun laws is at its lowest level since 2016.
But anti-gun violence groups still see momentum. Brady, Giffords, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Moms Demand Action met virtually on Wednesday with Susan Rice, the head of the Domestic Policy Council, and Cedric Richmond, a senior adviser to the president.
Officials familiar with the meeting said Rice and Richmond signaled the White House was prepared to use multiple avenues to try and curb gun violence, including executive action, though the administration has yet to roll out any specific proposals.

Clueless, out of touch, and brimming with hubris, not to mention beholden to the Communist Left.
Does he really think all those people are going to rush out and comply? **nononono*

He can try, but I expect very little compliance. The Canadian Long Gun Registry may have reached 50% compliance after five years, so low that they finally gave up.
I have no intention of giving up anything I may have legally acquired over the years, and few I know would, either.
Civil disobedience on a massive scale is essential to defying unconstitutional EOs or laws, and any of the restrictions (infringements) envisioned by the Democrats' visions of gun control should be void.

Which will make it even less tenable when challenged in court. At least it wouldve in the past.

After the way the SC has ruled on DACA...which was an EO that is now essentially a law...I have no hope that the SCOTUS would overturn an EO like this from Biden.

I hope so. It will be the last straw for Dim hopes to keep the WH in 2024.
