FNC's Guy Benson and Mollie Hemingway from "The Federalist" react to <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/06/02/watch_live_president_biden_speech_on_recent_tragic_mass_shootings.html">President Biden's speech Thursday calling for Congress to pass new gun control laws</a>. <blockquote>GUY BENSON: No one likes to see what's happening. His anecdote at the end about the grandmother who slipped a note to him saying, "Please, erase these divides in our country." That's a nice sentiment. That's the type of sentiment that helped Joe Biden get elected. But it is undercut dramatically by his attempts at shaming Republicans in that speech and making this, at times, into something of a political, voting, electoral call for action. Those things don't really coexist very well and I think he did not help the chances of something actually happening in the Senate very much in his speech tonight, unsurprisingly. ... MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: He showed this was, for him, a partisan political approach. "Do Something" is not a serious policy, but the actual policies that he listed are extremely troubling. I think it's comforting for simple-minded people to think that restricting the natural right to keep and bear arms would solve all of our problems, that destroying the Constitution would solve our problems. That is not true and we have a Natural Right of self-defense to guard against tyranny in the Second Amendment. This is something that makes us American. And Joe Biden showed that he does not respect the Constitution. He does not support this Natural Right. That really is an impeachable offense to talk this way against something so foundational to the country. But it was also just really divisive and unhelpful for him. And I think, you know, he helped people see what really is at play here. Very little of what he is talking about would actually prevent some of these horrible mass shootings. He kind of gave away the game when earlier this weekend he talked about getting rid of, making illegal to have, [9mm] handguns. This is a really extreme agenda. And he is misguided if he thinks this is going to be a political winner for him. I know they are desperate. But this is not going to sell well in this country. </blockquote>
