Biden Talked About Guns for 3 Minutes
... and Got Most Everything Wrong

President Joe Biden spoke for more than an hour to a limited Joint Session of Congress for his first major speech since his inauguration.

No Matter How Many Times You Say It ...

President Biden talks big about "taking on the NRA."

"I've done before and I'll do it again," he repeats again and again. "In the 90s we passed universal background checks. A ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that hold a hundred rounds…that can be fired off in seconds. We beat the NRA. Mass shootings and gun violence declined. Check out the report over ten years."

The NSSF did, and that's not what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report tells at all. In fact, it says the opposite. Others caught the president in his lie too.

According to the CDC report, the "Assault Weapons Ban (AWB), which also restricted magazine capacity, did not reduce crime rates." The kicker is that since the 10-year-ban expired in 2004, the violent crime rate in America dropped steadily while ownership of modern sporting rifles (MSRs) rose dramatically. Today there are more than 20 million MSRs in circulation. .....
