President Biden and Vice President urge for more gun safety laws, including universal background checks, red flag laws, and an assault weapons ban. They emphasize the need for action to save lives and address the gun violence epidemic in the U.S. Various lawmakers express support for common sense gun reform legislation, while some criticize Biden's approach to the Second Amendment.
WATCH: Biden 'demands' Americans be disarmed: "None of this violates the Second Amendment!" https://t.co/rpYBRU2uR6
We need a national ban on assault weapons. We need universal background checks. We also need to raise the age to purchase a gun to 21 and have a standard waiting period. @POTUS is right. It’s why we need to pass a Constitutional Amendment to get this done. Time to enact a…

Totally agree w/ @potus that common sense gun safety measures like universal background checks and banning high capacity magazines do not violate 2A or vilify responsible gun owners. We must never “get over” the Americans lost to mass shootings. #SOTU

Biden just threatened the 2nd Amendment. Come & take it, @JoeBiden. https://t.co/TZj4Iy0RoK
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is working. Less than two years after @POTUS signed the bill into law, my provision making gun trafficking a federal crime has already taken over 2,000 illegal guns off our streets and put dozens of dangerous criminals behind bars. #SOTU https://t.co/BT1IT1rdnv
Biden claims he "taught the Second Amendment for 12 years!" He was paid $1 million by the University of Pennsylvania, but he never taught a single class. https://t.co/yhlFx1QG7y
Too many communities have been torn apart by gun violence. @POTUS is right. We need to ban assault weapons. #SOTU
I’m proud we beat the NRA when I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years. Now, let's beat them again and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It’s the damn guns. It’s time we ban semi-automatic weapons of war from our streets. #SOTU https://t.co/td9jnbz8nd
Make no mistake: President Biden will not stop until he strips all Americans of their Second Amendment rights. @HouseGOP and I will never let that happen. #SOTU
I pity the poor law students who learned 2nd amendment law from Joe Biden, assuming it's true.
The only ad-lib was his claim that he "taught the Second Amendment for 12 years." https://t.co/3UFsyF1BiK
As Vice Chair of the @HouseGVP, I stand behind @POTUS and his efforts to address the U.S. gun violence epidemic. President Biden understands that our communities will be safer when we pass common sense gun legislation.
Gun violence is a public health crisis. With @POTUS, we have the first President in 30 years to pass meaningful gun violence reduction legislation. We need to build on this and pass more laws that will keep our children safe. #SOTU2024
Since day one of his presidency, it has been a goal of President Biden to strip away the Second Amendment rights of millions of law-abiding gunowners. The Biden Administration apparently hasn’t read our Constitution to understand “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,…
.@POTUS and I have taken historic action to address gun violence by working to pass the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years. But we have more to do. We need universal background checks, red flag laws, and an assault weapons ban. Congress must act and save lives.
Gun violence is an epidemic in our communities, and weapons of war have no place in them. We must ban assault weapons. #SOTU2024
👋 Hey, @JoeBiden. Want to stop gun crime? Here’s a start…#SecureTheBorder Oh, and ask @GovKathyHochul to repeal #BailReform. #SOTU https://t.co/aoyfXToR9X
Republicans’ continued inaction on gun violence is inexcusable. Gun violence is a uniquely American problem that we can solve with decisive, commonsense solutions. @POTUS and @VP are fighting to keep our communities safe. #SOTU2024
The time is now! #gunviolence is killing our kids and tearing apart our communities. We need #gunsense legislation now! Thanks to @POTUS and @MomsDemand @giffordscourage @everytown for fighting this epidemic.
As a mother to two young children, I agree with @POTUS. Gun violence is an epidemic. We MUST pass commonsense gun reform legislation to protect our children. #SOTU2024
