\/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>President Biden on Thursday said he would try to pass a bill banning assault rifles during the lame-duck session before the next Congress forms, despite long odds due to Republican opposition. <\/p>\n<p>Biden spoke to reporters Thanksgiving morning, coming after a week that saw three mass shootings in the U.S.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Biden said it was \u201cridiculous\u201d that red flag laws \u2014 in which law enforcement officers can seize firearms from individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others \u2014 were not being enforced across the country. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. 2, the idea \u2026 we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick.\u00a0It\u2019s just sick.\u00a0It has no, no <a

value.\u00a0Zero.\u00a0None.\u00a0Not a single, solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Biden said he was \u201cgoing to try to get rid of assault weapons\u201d during the lame-duck session, but it would depend on whether he has the votes to pass a bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to do it whenever I \u2014 I got to make that assessment as I get in and start counting the votes,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The House introduced a bill to ban assault weapons earlier this year, but it was doomed with Democrats holding a slim majority in the Senate and most Republicans united against such legislation, making overcoming a filibuster impossible. <\/p>\n<p>The lift for any gun control bill will be even more difficult when the next Congress forms in January, with Republicans taking control of the House. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>It has been another dark week for gun violence in America. <\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday night, a gunman opened fire with a handgun inside a break room at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Va., killing six people and injuring at least six others.<\/p>\n<p>Three days before that, a shooter opened fire inside an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colo., killing five people and injuring at least 25 others.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>And less than a week before the Colorado shooting, a student at the University of Virginia shot and killed three other students after they returned from a class field <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The violence has rocked the nation once again, just months after a May massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead.<\/p>\n<p>After Uvalde, lawmakers in Congress passed a bipartisan gun control bill that expanded background checks for those ages 18 to 21, among other measures.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>It was the most significant piece of gun control legislation in about three decades, but it fell short of more comprehensive gun control reforms many activists and Democrats had called for.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, who was a senator when Congress passed a temporary assault weapons ban in 1994, called for another prohibition on assault weapons after Uvalde.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
