Joe Biden announced plans to ban “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines as part of his plan for a “safer America” amid the growing illegal alien crime crisis plaguing the country as a result of his open border policies.
Biden is facing political pressure in the wake of crime rising in Democrat-run “sanctuary cities” since his open-border migrant invasion began in 2021.
After noting that blue cities have been slashing law enforcement resources stemming from the left’s “Defund the Police” movement after the death of George Floyd in 2020, Biden touted his “Safer America Agenda” and called for more gun control.
Biden says city budgets “were strained as they faced deep cuts in law enforcement and public safety” during the pandemic.

“Public safety and crime reduction is a top priority for my administration and for me,” Biden said at a White House press conference on Wednesday.
“We’re gonna finish the job. We’re gonna ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines next time around, because it has to be done.”

The White House also released a “fact sheet” Wednesday explaining the impact of Biden’s $1.9 trillion America Rescue Plan bill passed in 2021 and plans for him to push for more gun control:
The President also continues to urge Congress to take commonsense actions to prevent and combat crime and advance public safety. Congress should enact universal background checks, require safe storage of firearms, and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. It should pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to advance accountability, transparency, and public trust in law enforcement. Building public trust advances public safety. And it should pass the Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigations Methods (VICTIM) Act to help communities solve murders and violent gun crimes as well as support victims.
Biden ended his remarks without taking questions from the press, instead having his handlers wrangle them out of the room.
Biden’s speech comes amid heightened public concern over the tens of millions of illegal aliens who’ve entered the country since he captured the White House, most recently highlighted by the alleged murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley by a Venezuelan national.
This also comes as several other illegal aliens were arrested for raping and murdering women and children just in the last several days alone:
