Biden tells Kimmel he doesn’t want to match ‘Trump’s abuse’ of executive orders when it comes to gun control
President Joe Biden stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday, where he and Kimmel touched on multiple topics, including the scourge of gun violence in the United States. While the country is still reeling from the Robb Elementary School massacre in Uvalde, Texas, which killed 19 children, and the heartbreaking testimony about the shooting before Congress earlier in the day, Biden said security of weapons is important. to the voters. “You have to make sure this becomes a voting issue,” Biden said. “It has to be one of those issues where you decide, your stance on the issue, senator or House of Senate candidate, on what we’re going to do with assault weapons and maybe it’s got 300 rounds in a magazine, what you say about those things, will determine how I’m going to vote for you. It should be one of those issues.” While Biden has used executive orders to take some gun safety measures, such as cracking ghost guns, Kimmel asked why he hasn’t done more. “Can’t you issue an executive order?” Kimmel asked. “Trump handed them out like Halloween candies. Isn’t that something that could happen?” “Well, I’ve issued executive orders within the presidency’s power to regulate everything to do with guns and gun ownership, whether you have to wait or not, all the things that were within my power,” Biden said. which I don’t want to do, and I’m not funny, I don’t want to imitate Trump’s abuse of the Constitution and Constitutional authority.”
