US President Joe Biden pushes for ban on assault weapons after deadly Colorado shooting

"We can overcome opposition by cowardly politicians and the pressure of a gun lobby that opposes any limit on the ability of anyone to assemble an arsenal. We can, and we must," he said.

"He is charged with 10 counts of murder in the first degree and will be shortly transported to Boulder county jail," Police Chief Maris Herold told a press conference. "Boulder County is a small community, we're all looking over the list. Do we know anybody?" said Governor Jared Polis at the press conference.Colorado has previously suffered two of the most infamous mass shootings in US history, at Columbine High School in 1999, and at a movie theatre in Aurora in 2012.11-year-old student, Abdul Diop, joins a walking out of school to rally against gun violence on the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School in 2018.

After bombarding Siria ?

Gun control and the USA are a contradiction in terms. Assault weapons should be banned but never will be. No president is willing to risk being voted out so nothing will be done. POTUS VP

Only your military is lawful allowed to possess and operate assault weapons. Your civilians are not allowed. Please try and keep up🙄🤦‍♂️

Good luck with that dickhead. 🤬🖕🏻

Once again the protectors of murderers will close ranks in Washington, under the cloak of stupidity known as ' right to bear arms' and nothing will happen except the killing will continue.

What a sick militaristic regime. And Australia is its puppet

Yes yes blame the symptoms not the problems. The fact that if indeed this was menal illness the us has a very poor history of mental ilmess support. Blame noisy guns

Any weapon, from machine gun to brick is used to assault someone. Assault rifles are fully automatic. As I understand fully automatic firearms are already severely restricted...

Nothing changes with new President ?

He wouldn't even know what day it was..

Just do it Mr President, b the president who stops this madness

Why doesn’t he put his executive orders where his mouth is.

The 'Divided States of America'. Since founding days, obsessed with guns and misguided, hypocritical religious bigotry. 'Land of the Free, Leaders of the Free World' - not any more. Any other nation would be called a 'failed State'. What a 'cluster'!

OMG. The 2A fckwits will be out in force.

People who live in the US have some type of psychological issue with guns. When I was living there, I was stunned how extremely few people could even slightly entertain the possibility of not having guns, even people who don't hunt, don't buy into any type of macho/survivor image

Hypocrite
