President JoeBiden says current gun laws are 'sick' and 'ridiculous'
Biden briefly spoke to reporters while visiting with local law enforcement officials on Thanksgiving and was asked to react to the recent deadly shootings in Virginia.
Two recent shootings in Virginia, one at a Walmart in Chesapeake and one at the University of Virginia, as well as the Club Q shooting in Colorado, have renewed Biden's calls for a national assault-style weapons ban. Democrats had cited gun violence reform as a top issue they hope to address during the lame-duck session before Republicans retake the majority in January, and Biden told reporters Thursday that he would continue to push for a ban in the next Congress.“I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons,“ he stated. “I’m going to do it whenever."
