Anti-Gun Ownership Voting

Biden supported various gun control measures. In 2003, Biden was given a failing grade by the National Rifle Association (NRA) "showing an anti-gun ownership voting record".

In 2003, Biden was given a failing grade by the National Rifle Association (NRA) "showing an anti-gun ownership voting record". Joe Biden considers that there’s no reason that people should need to own an assault weapon. They’re hard to aim, they’re difficult to use. Gun violence is obviously a problem in the United States. More than 40,000 people die a year from gun violence and there are 400 million privately owned guns, more than there are American citizens. It makes sense that cracking down on illegal gun trafficking, criminal gun sellers and manufacturers, and enacting federal background checks are the bread and butter of most Democratic candidacies for the presidency. The issue of guns is “tearing communities apart." If more guns made us safer, we’d be the safest country on earth. Joe Biden cited his efforts in banning assault rifles and expanding background checks. He considers we should have smart guns to include biometric readers, but gun manufacturers are an obstacle in achieving that goal. No gun should be able to be sold unless your biometric measure can pull that trigger. It’s within our right to do that, we can do that. Beyond Biden initial calls on assault weapons, buy backs, and banning high capacity magazines, he also calls to ban gun manufacturers from building modifications to their products that make pistols as deadly as rifles, for example, which is how the Dayton, Ohio shooter retrofitted his gun to make it far more deadly. He also wants to build smart-gun technology, which has long been opposed by gun manufacturers. Biden mentioned gun control in his education plan, asserting that arming teachers is not a solution to ending school shootings. The days of the NRA controlling Congress and writing our gun laws must end. Congress must listen to the American people and pass gun safety legislation. This sickening gun violence must stop.
