Guy surrounded by lots and lots of people with firearms that he wants to restrict, as well as ones which most of us average citizens care not allowed to have, had thoughts
"This is not about taking away anyone's guns," Biden says in prime time address on guns. Families in Texas and New York "had one message for all of us: do something. Just do something. For God's sake, do something," he says. pic.twitter.com/1yLNtkmnWG

Biden says Second Amendment is ‘not absolute’ in call to reinstate assault weapons ban
President Biden said the Second Amendment is “not absolute” in a speech Thursday following a wave of mass shootings across the nation, pleading with to Congress to pass what he called “commonsense” gun control legislation, including reinstating an assault weapons ban, requiring background checks, and limiting magazine capacity.
The president, speaking from the Cross Hall of the White House, told Americans that the issue of restricting access to guns “is one of conscience and common sense.”
“For so many of you at home, I want to be very clear – this is not about taking away anyone’s guns,” the president said. “It is not about vilifying gun owners. In fact, we believe we should be treating responsible gun owners as an example of how every gun owner should behave.”
Oh, really? Just days ago he said no one needed an AR-15 (well, except his security, which carries a similar version that are fully automatic)
Gun control policies Biden has called for so far tonight in major address to the nation:
-Assault weapons ban
-Barring that, increase age to buy to 21
-Expanded background checks
-Safe storage requirements
-Red flag laws
-Repealing liability shield— Josh Lederman (@JoshNBCNews) June 2, 2022
While they are all bad, the big one is the liability shield, which would allow lawsuits that would put gun makers and gun stores out of business.
Biden will milk this hard, regardless of whether anything happens, because it’s meant to deflect from the shit economy.
