Will Joe Biden simply push the same old "gun control" schemes that have failed to curb mass murders?

[Little-Acorn]

Gun bans have been tried. The mass shootings have continued.

"Assault weapons" bans have been tried. The mass murders have gone on unabated, and even gotten worse.

Waiting periods have been tried. Background checks have been tried. Bans on the mentally incompetent have been tried. None have had the slightest effect. Unqualified individuals such as the CT shooter and the Aurora theater shooter, have had no trouble getting guns anyway, and blowing away whomever they wanted.

Now that President Obama has turned responsibility for "doing something about it" over to Joe Biden, will we finally see the government try something else? Some thihng that has a reasonable chance of at least reducing, if not completely stopping, these mass murders?

Or will we just get more of the same tired, failed schemes - "Assault weapons" bans, gun bans, waiting periods etc. that have already been tried, and accomplished nothing?

Biden knows how ineffectual these tired schemes have been. If he resorts to them anyway, we have to wonder why. It would be a clear signal that he has no intention of reducing these mass murders.

What IS his intention, then?
