Biden Again Calls For Semi-
Auto Ban Following TX Murders

Once again in the wake of a mass shooting (murders: ed)—this time at an outlet mall in the suburban community of Allen, Texas—President Joe Biden has rushed to demand action from Congress in the form of a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” and according to Business Insider, the president also wants Capitol Hill to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).

Biden further wants a law requiring so-called “safe storage” of firearms.

But it is not clear whether any of these measures would have prevented the Saturday rampage, which was brought to a halt by a police officer who was at Allen Premium Outlets on another matter when the shooting (murders: ed) erupted. The officer fatally shot the suspect, identified as Mauricio Martinez Garcia, 33. He was reportedly armed with a semiautomatic rifle.

There was no small irony in the president’s prepared statement in which he said, “Jill and I are praying for their families and for others critically injured, and we are grateful to the first responders who acted quickly and courageously to save lives.”

At the same time, according to Business Insider, he was calling out Republicans “for sending ‘thoughts and prayers’” in the aftermath. .....
