President Joe Biden appears to admit he has no respect for the Second Amendment.

On Thursday after handing out pies to firefighters in Nantucket, Biden told reporters that he would be working on gun control measures in the next coming months.

Even after being arrested for bomb threats, the Colorado nightclub shooting suspect’s evasion of the state’s strict red flag laws prompted the president to push for them to be even stricter.

Biden went on to call for a ban on practically all legal weapons.

“The idea, the idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It’s just sick,” Biden said. “It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it, except profit for the gun manufacturer.”

Democrats often attempt to make hunting rifles like the AR-15 sound more dangerous by using the word semi-automatic, however almost ever legal firearm sold in the U.S. are semi-automatic, barring bolt action rifles and some revolvers.

His comments come as recent polling also shows a declining support for gun control laws.

Florida Representative Byron Donalds lamented that Congress has failed to keep a lid on governing by executive order.

During a recent interview, Donalds (R-Fla.) claimed that Joe Biden’s’ latest extension of the student loan pause shows that Congress is letting the White House push its boundaries in regard to the ever-continuing COVID-19 emergency.

Biden is reportedly pumping out executive orders faster than any president since Jimmy Carter, and his government has issued an extension on the national emergency declaration for COVID-19. And so, Donalds urges representatives to restore checks and balances to the federal government.  

“This is where Congress has to do its job and actually go back in and unwind a lot of these presidential emergencies that are created by executive order,” Donalds said. “He’s using an emergency doctrine from COVID-19 to extend these moratoriums. It’s outrageous. So, this is Congress’ fault. We have to reassert our authority in the federal bureaucracy and the federal government and take away some of these powers from the executive.”

The incoming GOP majority in the House is promising to hold Biden’s government accountable for its failures on several fronts.
