Eric Swalwell tweet to Joe Biden:

Link to tweet

Thank you, @JoeBiden. A simple ban on assault weapons only bans future sales and leaves 15m weapons on our streets. A buy-back protects children in our schools today. Your support of a buy-back will make all of us safer. #EnoughIsEnough

Biden's tweet falls in line with what he stated he would have done if elected. Of course he's going to praise him for this.

.... he would make an excellent vice president. He was my second choice before he dropped out. I do not make my choices based on aspects of candidates that have absolutely nothing to do with the ability to govern responsibly. That is who I am, and if people don't like it?

a brilliant one but I'm thinking whomever wins the nom it will be a diverse ticket.

If Biden should win I hope he choses a woman.. preferably a WOC to represent our diverse country.

We shall see!

and then we get to the business of buy-back programs and whatnot.

Obviously there will always be some assault weapons out in the wild, but most of these "shoot-em-up" weirdos are purchasing now. They don't already have a stockpile. Yes, I know, some do, but I still think banning new sales, and needing registration for purchasing ammunition, etc. will go a long way towards helping.
