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 |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
