President Joe Biden revealed the Republicans he believes he could work with to advance Gun control.
On Monday, the president said he would “continue to push” to reform gun laws, but has not discussed it with Republicans yet, as CNN’s Jeremy Diamond reported.
Biden added, “I think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it — at least that’s my hope and prayer.”
According to Biden, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) are “rational Republicans” and believes “there’s a recognition on their part that things can’t continue like this.”
Additionally, Biden told reporters there is no reason for individuals to own high caliber weapons, as IJR reported.
“The 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body,” Biden said.
He added, “That idea that… high caliber weapon, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting.”
Biden also argued the Second Amendment “was never absolute. You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed.”
Some other Republicans appear to be in favor of stricter gun restrictions, including Rep.
