Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) introduced legislation Monday to repeal the gun control Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) helped President Joe Biden secure in the summer of 2022.
Breitbart News noted Biden signed the gun control package, called the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act,’ on June 25, 2022.
The various aspects of the gun control package include expanding background checks for 18-20 year-olds, using taxpayer money to incentivize states to enact red flag laws, and broadening the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) prohibited purchasers list by using domestic violence statutes to cover dating relationships.
Boebert’s bill, the Shall Not Be Infringed Act, would undo the Biden gun controls.
Newsmax quoted Boebert saying, “No amount of gun control will ever eliminate evil in our society, and unsurprisingly, the data has shown time and again that gun control does not decrease gun violence. Just look at Chicago or New York.”
There have been numerous high profile firearm-related attacks since Biden signed gun control to keep Americans safe.
