Biden Expected to Sign New Executive Order on Gun Control
TimeJUL 2023
The Spin
Democratic narrative
The president is determined to make the US safer, and Republicans who refuse to help pass popular, common sense gun safety laws — universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and repeal of immunity for gun manufacturers from liability — have left him no choice but to sign landmark orders like this one. President Biden will continue to do everything in his power to reduce America’s gun deaths count.
Republican narrative
America has a crime problem, and Biden and the Democrats’ way of distracting from their inability to corral it is by signing orders that infringe on the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners. This war on gun rights has to stop, and attention has to be paid to changing the laws that are letting criminals run rampant across the country.
