    Well, when you rely on fake news (NBC in this case) you lose a little if not all the nuance. I am no fan of Harris, but the rest of her quote about the buyback program was heavily caveated, " . . .“It’s got to be smart, we got to do it the right way. But there are 5 million [assault weapons] at least, some estimate as many as 10 million, and we’re going to have to have smart public policy that’s about taking those off the streets, but doing it the right way.”

    "Smart," "right way "and that kind of talk is the death knell of anything that is really going to happen.

    Not saying Harris is great, good, or even bad, but the full quote exposes the sound bite for what it is, a soundbite!

    Question of the day:

    If Biden is elected, who will be president of the United States?

    You are right, the uninitiated will focus on the headlines, Thanks for supporting my point, I figured I would be crucified for not conforming to the party line!

    The funny thing is in both examples you are wrong. No one is cherry picking Joe&Hoe and they cherry pick Trumps comments out of context.

    From Dipshit Joe's OWN WEBSITE. Add to it Leg's up proposals....

    • Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act. Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.

    The right way is to keep her grubby little hands off of my guns. She doesn't have enough money to buy them

    You appear Hell bent on arguing.

    First of all you have now gone from a Harris statement to a Biden website.

    Then you quote Biden’s website where he addresses regulating "assault weapons’ with new legislation under the National Firearms Act.. Not even remotely related to a mandatory gun buyback.
