Joe Biden is proposing to force owners of assault-style rifles to either sell their firearms through a voluntary buyback program or register them with the federal government under the same law that was first used to strictly control sales of machine guns in the wake of the gangland shootings of the 1920s and '30s. [More]No. Your move.
And make sure to reserve special recognition for stupid, cowardly Republiquislings out there helping remove the hurdles and smoothing the way to the goal line.

What, the editors at CNN don't see the contradiction between "forcing" and "voluntary"? Of course fuzzy old Joe doesn't, but I expect better of professional word smiths.
With my apologies to the "Underpants Gnomes of "South Park" fame:
Step 1: Define something called "assault weapons" and require they be registered.
Step2:
Step3: End gun violence in the USA.
They're going to need to work on Step 2 a bit before they convince any sane person that the program is ready to be voted on, much less rolled out.
To start with, in the four bluest of the blue states in the USA, such a registration requirement has already been put in place. California is either on its third or fourth iteration and 1) can't seem to get the definition right and 2) can't seem to get compliance much above 20%. Results are pretty dismal in the other three states as well. (New York, Connecticut, and Maryland)
In response to their citizens' holding up their middle fingers instead of complying with the new registration requirements, the four states have DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!
In the military they advise that officers never give an order they know will not be obeyed.
Similar advice should be given to the nations lawmakers.
