When Biden meets with law enforcement officials on Monday, he will additionally talk about his preferred means of cutting back on crimes committed with firearms. This, too, is not without irony. In response to crime increases, President Biden has indirectly faulted legal gun ownership by attempting to pass more gun control at the federal level.
Republican governors therefore began making moves of their own to ban the enforcement of Biden’s gun control executive actions. The GOP furthermore notes that defunding the police and giving criminals free rein, not lawful gun ownership in America, is what’s led to more crime.
What will come of the meeting?
Time will ultimately tell what becomes of President Biden’s meeting with law enforcement.
Biden himself has steered clear of calls to dismantle police; however, many members of his own party are still pushing to defund law enforcement. In a CNN interview earlier this month, Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley doubled down on her calls to redirect funds from police.
