No, Dementia did:
Hold gun manufacturers accountable. In 2005, then-Senator Biden voted
against the
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, but gun manufacturers successfully lobbied Congress to secure its passage. This law protects these manufacturers from being held civilly liable for their products – a protection granted to no other industry. Biden will prioritize repealing this protection.
Ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Federal law prevents hunters from hunting migratory game birds with more than three shells in their shotgun. That means our federal law does more to protect ducks than children. It’s wrong. Joe Biden will enact legislation to once again ban assault weapons. This time, the bans will be designed based on lessons learned from the 1994 bans. For example, the ban on assault weapons will be designed to prevent manufacturers from circumventing the law by making minor changes that don’t limit the weapon’s lethality. While working to pass this legislation, Biden will also use his
executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons.
Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act. Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are
rarely used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to
regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.
End the online sale of firearms and ammunitions. Biden will enact
legislation to prohibit all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits, and gun parts.
Joe Biden's plan to end gun violence will tackle America's gun violence head on, and treat it as the public health epidemic it is.
