Biden says he would not restrict gun ownership

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware said Friday that Nevadans shouldn’t listen to claims he and Barack Obama would take away the right to bear arms.

“Both of us believe strongly in the Second Amendment,” Biden said. “We do not believe in registration. We do believe in limits on some of the weapons. You can’t have your own flame-thrower or bazooka. And legislation in relation to assault weapons doesn’t affect hunters or sportsmen.

“We are two Democrats who voted against gun control,” he said.

But, Biden said, there is room for common-sense laws relating to such things as carrying concealed weapons.

Biden says they will not take away guns but then promises to ban “assault weapons” that is a bait and switch scheme to ban semiautomatic firerms.

That means Obama/Biden support the following two bills, H.R. 1022: Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007 and Biden’s own bill S. 2237: Crime Control and Prevention Act of 2007 with its “Subtitle B--Assault Weapons Ban Renewal Act of 2007”.
