On Thanksgiving Day, Joe Biden delivered a message to Americans saying he will get rid of assault weapons during a stop at Nantucket Fire Department.
“The idea — the idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It’s just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers,” Biden said.
*Most* guns are semi-automatic and Joe Biden has no authority to ban guns.
“…I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons,” he added.
