NOURNEWS - About two weeks ago, after eight people were killed in a shooting at the shooting in a mall in the Allen area near Dallas, Texas, "Joe Biden" issued a statement and emphasized that he once again asks the Congress to pass the bill to Approve a ban on assault weapons.
In this statement, the President of the United States pointed to the attack of an attacker with tactical equipment and armed with an AR-15 light assault weapon on people in a Texas shopping center, which occurred on May 6, and added: In this attack, innocent people died because of this shooting.
In their seemingly fierce statement, Biden and his companions emphasized that such an attack is too shocking and based on statistics, American states have suffered 200 mass shootings this year, and reliable estimates indicate that more than 14,000 people were killed in these shootings. Many children have lost their lives because of this mass shootings.
But now, two weeks after the Texas incident, it is clear that the Democratic senators of the Congress (and subsequently the members of the House of Representatives) basically have no intention to limit the sale, keeping and carrying of guns by citizens!
The shadow of arms manufacturing lobbies over the presidential elections of 2024 and the simultaneous holding of the House of Representatives and Senate elections in that year has caused the Democrats to enter into a deal with them instead of limiting the activities of these lobbies.
On the other hand; Assuming the approval of any draft restricting the activities of the arms manufacturing lobbies, these drafts will be written in an "render able" and "flexible" way so that in practice it does not cause any inconvenience to the owners of the arms manufacturing companies in America!
Furthermore; The U.S. Supreme Court is also heavily supported by gun lobbyists in the country, as last year the U.S. Supreme Court struck down one of New York's more than a century-old gun laws that restricts the concealed carrying of guns outside the home and cancelled this law.
six of the nine supreme conservative senior associate justice gave a positive vote to this decision, at the same time gun ownership has become a serious challenge in the US.
Judge Clarence Thomas, one of the most conservative Supreme Court justices, said in defense of this decision: "The 2nd and 14th Amendments of the Constitution protect the right of individuals to bear arms for self-defense outside the home."
On the other hand, Judge Stephen Breyer, who is known as one of the progressive judges of the Supreme Court, lamented this decision and said: "The court has acted without considering the potentially fatal consequences of its decision, while only In 2020, 45,222 Americans have been killed by firearms.
Now it has become clear once again that Biden's humanitarian gesture and his repeated emphasis on the need to pass laws restricting the carrying of weapons have a very limited shelf life, and now the Democratic senators are also busy trading the lives of American citizens with their possible votes in the 2024 congressional elections!
