Following a weekend of four major shootings in 6 hours covering four cities, over two dozen Democratic mayors turned to the White House for solutions, asking President Joe Biden to push for tighter federal gun laws.
A total of 27 Democratic mayors sent a letter to Biden on Monday advocating for universal background checks, bans on so-called “assault weapons” and restrictions on gun sales.
They also want Biden to take on more “soft power interventions” by pouring money into the minority communities that bear the brunt of gun violence. |

Federal gun control (legislated, not bureaucratic) has gone as far as it's gonna go.
IT. AIN'T. GOIN'. NOWHERE.
Memo to Lightfoot et al: GET. YOUR. MIND. RIGHT.
Run your states/cities like DeSantis/Abbott.
Wise up, you idiots. |

P.S. -
It's "Democrat Mayors," not "Democratic Mayors."
So, THERE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
