Marjorie Greene Pushes Back on Joe Biden’s Call ‘To Ban Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Magazines’

Earlier tonight, Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden tweeted out that “weapons of war have no place in our communities” and that “We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”

Republican US House Candidate Marjorie Greene, who essentially has locked in her election after her opponent dropped out Friday, pushed back at the proposal.

Greene said that she “will fight you at every turn on gun control” and she’ll “defend our gun rights.” She brought up Gun Free School Zones, saying that “Gun control kills people” because “they are defenseless” and that her “school mate brought guns to school” and they “were unprotected.” She added, “Stop Socialism!”

I will fight you at every turn on gun control and I’ll defend our gun rights.

Gun control kills people bc they are defenseless.

Because of your Gun Free School Zones, my school mate brought guns to school and we were unprotected.

Stop Socialism! https://t.co/0MQd2obVbd

From Fox News:

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Sunday called for gun control less than 24 hours after two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies who were critically wounded in Compton after a gunman opened fire on their squad car in an apparent ambush.

Earlier Biden had called the shooting “unconscionable” and for the suspect to be brought to justice. He also said anyone who commits an act of violence “should be caught and punished.”

Biden’s comments on the ambush and gun control stand in stark contrast to President Donald Trump who called for a “fast trial” with the possibility of the death penalty.

Speaking at a roundtable campaign event in Las Vegas, Trump used Saturday night’s ambush to highlight his campaign’s “law and order” while casting Biden as weak on crime.

“He’s not strong for law and order and everybody knows that,” Trump said of Biden during at a “Latinos for Trump” event. “When you see a scene like happened just last night in California with the two police people – a woman, a man – shot at stone cold short range.”

The 31-year-old female deputy and 24-year-old male deputy underwent surgery Saturday evening and were listed as in “critical” condition. A manhunt for the suspect was still underway on Sunday.
