In the Rose Garden Thursday, Biden called U.S. gun violence an \u201cepidemic\u201d and an \u201cinternational embarrassment.\u201d His new orders tackle so-called \u201cghost guns,\u201d which are usually homemade or 3D printed and are known to not have serial numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has then asked the DOJ to mandate tougher rules regarding pistol braces and called for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition. He has also proposed removing liability protections for gun manufacturers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cGun violence in this country is an epidemic and it\u2019s an international embarrassment\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US President Joe Biden outlines a set of measures to tackle gun violence<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bsJQhu7vB4\">https:\/\/t.co\/bsJQhu7vB4<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NhIGqVC4Og\">pic.twitter.com\/NhIGqVC4Og<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBCWorld\/status\/1380192124948381698?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During his announcement, Biden attempted to downplay conservative concerns over infringing on the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake for what we\u2019re talking about,\u201d Biden claimed. \u201cBut no amendment \u2014 no amendment to the Constitution is absolute. You can\u2019t yell \u2018fire\u2019 in a crowded movie theater and call it freedom of speech. From the very beginning, you couldn\u2019t own any weapon you wanted to own. From the very beginning the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren\u2019t allowed to have weapons. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we\u2019re recommending are contrary to the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the announcement on the new orders, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the White House was attempting to trample over constitutional Second Amendment rights given to Americans.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Biden has ordered the DOJ to issue new rules that will surely result in unconstitutional overreach.
