Sen. Hawley: Biden ultimately seeks civilian gun confiscation, while permitting rioters and crime

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said Thursday that President Biden sent the message earlier in the day that he has no regard for the Second Amendment despite words to the contrary, while it is evident gun confiscation is the true endgame for him.

"He doesn't believe it's actually in the Constitution, he clearly does not believe in the right to keep and bear arms," said Hawley. The senator added that Biden's plans and that of gun control activist David Chipman, whom he nominated to lead the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), are to "crack down" on the average American. By appearing permissive of a years worth of rioting and saying or doing little about recurring gun crime in places like Chicago, Hawley said Democrats are "fine with criminals [being] out on the streets having all the firearms they want."
