It saves lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Number two,&#8221; he continued, &#8220;the idea we still allow <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/biden-promises-assault-weapons-ban-if-democrats-keep-control-of-congress\">semi-automatic weapons<\/a> to be purchased is sick. It&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what he planned to do to crack down on guns over the next two years during his &#8220;lame duck,&#8221; Biden said he would &#8220;try to get rid of assault weapons.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During his tenure, Biden has remained steadfast in his desire to rid the United States of assault weapons, however, data shows that their use makes up just a fraction of all gun-related crimes.<\/p>\n<p>According to data compiled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2022\/02\/03\/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s\/\">Pew Research<\/a>, in 2020 handguns were involved in 59 percent of gun deaths, whereas assault weapons were involved in just 3 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Assault weapons are more common, however, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/476409\/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used\/\">mass shootings<\/a>. The perpetrators of the Pulse Nightclub, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, and Texas First Baptist Church massacre all used such weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After visiting with firefighters in Nantucket, Massachusetts on Thursday, President Biden took questions from reporters.
