President Joe Biden renewed his call for the banning of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in his State of the Union address.
"I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence," Biden said during his first official State of the Union Address on Tuesday night. "Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon? Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines."
"You think the deer are wearing a kevlar vest?" Biden said, going off the pre-released transcript of the speech.
Biden added a call to "repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued."
"These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment," Biden said. "They save lives."
Biden’s comments immediately received criticism from conservatives on social media who have often accused his administration of attempting to infringe on the Second Amendment.
