How to use gun in a sentence?
This is a country that has produced the leadership that will ensure that we not only have universal background checks and red flag laws and end the sale of those weapons of war but that we go the necessary steps further, as politically difficult as they may be, a gun registry in this country [and] licensing for every American who owns a firearm.And every single one of those AR-15s and AK-47s will be bought back so theyre not on our streets, not in our homes, and do not take the lives of our fellow Americans.
People don't realize we have very strong background checks right now, if you go in to buy a gun, you have to sign up.
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand, it's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see through it no matter what.
We are saying no gun control at all -- nothing.
A big indicator that smart gun technology isnt taking hold anytime soon is not being mandated for the military or law enforcement, if these devices were actually practical, then every police department and military unit worldwide would be buying them.
