It's not that he can't it's that he refuses to in public. Webster's changed the definition after parkland to fit the gun control agenda. He could go with that, but he doesn't want to say the quiet part out loud on record. They absolutely want to ban everything. They just want and I would argue desperately need to go after anything that gives the people even relative parity to the state. It is also a class of firearm that increases the number of individual gun owners and they can't stand that either. Even in it's heavily infringed state the current remaining 2nd amendment is the absolute bane of the want to be totalitarian police state.

You don't need foreign powers when Israel has made US its puppet by hijacking American politicians via American Jews, far right religious nuts and powerful politicians and businessmen. We want China, Russia, Iran and North Korea to adopt democracy and human rights but when current Isreali government is trying to destroy Isreali democracy and violating human rights for decades with Palestinians, our leaders don't even release statement due to fear of Isreali Lobby. Same with UK when they suppress Northern Irish people, US is mum. Same when recently French president Macron bypassed parliament to impose a decree in clear democratic violation, US was mum. Same when Trump tried to destroy American democracy, GOP was and still is silent. Why then we preach world about US democratic and human rights values? It's clear. We try to destabilise our enemies by interfering in their domestic affairs while we remain silent when we or our allies destroy democratic values. US should accept that it's a normal nation pursuing its naked self-interests like all other nations do and any pretense to exercise global leadership on values and principles is just a cover to weaken and destabilise our adversaries. Infact, due to our post-Cold War disasters at home and abroad, world already doesn't believe in our fake value-based foreign policy and treats us just like normal selfish nations like China or Russia who relentlessly pursue their self-interests but don't pretend on values or ideologies. It's high time we recognise that and accept the hard but necessary truth that since WW2, first time US has neither comprehensive national power to defeat or outcompete its enemies, particularly China, nor US has vibrant domestic strength and societal cohesion to sustain its society and world hegemony. We have joined long but perennial list of world superpowers who first dominated the international system, then faltered and then failed. These silly hearings and our both parties and infact we Americans ourselves prove that Ronald Reagan's "shining city on hill" is long dead.

I could make a strong argument (backed by statistics) that a handgun is more dangerous than an AR-15. I could make a very strong case that a typical hunting rifle is more dangerous than an AR-15. And I could make a very strong case that the AR-15 is not a “military” weapon. Simply because, it isn’t. And that’s all without even getting into the guaranteed protections of the Constitution based on it being the most popular rifle platform in the country. I can use it for defense.

@@VarianteMobile To ban something you must have parameters, or you are banning everything. By saying "assault weapons" they mean any weapon that gets used to assault someone. Hammers, steak knives, automobiles. As the 2nd amendment is in regard to firearms, they must specify which firearms to get them banned. The "we must ban something" idiocy is a non-issue if you cannot state what must be banned. You may be impressed with their strategy but it will not serve them well when you must write the name of the show you think needs to be cancelled.

They know exactly what they are doing. They are attempting to take away the ability of the American citizen to defend themselves against their tyranny.
They are careful not to define it so they can keep expanding the definition. They banned guns in england, now they have the most stabbings in the world. "You can fix a lot of things in this world, but you can't fix stupid" -Ron white

He knows! His handlers won’t allow him to answer these types of questions to risk incriminating the Biden Admin even more than they have already shown “We The People” that they are shitbags.
_"Because it's scary lookin' to ya"_ OMG that's GOLD 🤣 😂 AK-47? Hasn't the manufacturing or importation of machine guns for civilians been banned since 1986?!
This just like when he grilled Dave Chipman. It's hilarious and I freaking love senator Kennedy
I JUST CANNOT IMAGINE WHY WE KEEP ASKING THESE PEOPLE QUESTIONS, WHEN WE KNOW THEY WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO AVOID GIVING A DIRECT ANSWER. THEY SHOULD BE STRIPPED OF THEIR APPOINTED POSITIONS.

Cause they are all in it ! It is a play they put on for the people like good cop , bad cop. Gives some of us a little hope that we are so close to winning just give it a little more time and good guys win . I used to have hope . Not any more , nothing will ever happen to the criminals in our Government . Both sides are guilty but they are dug in too deep . You think any of them would just give up their criminal ways and step down ?

It's called running the clock with their jibber jabber so they don't have to answer as many questions, which obviously they have no answer to.
Cannot answer the question? More like WILL not because they want the broadest possible definition. If they answer publicly and on record they would have been laughed off the floor! iI
At 4:05 in the video, he said my international friends for asking him what is going on with the mass killings in America is his international friends the Chinese government? Is that all it takes is a couple of international friends to pressure someone in high government to disarm America. That is extremely scary, and also troubling that they don’t know that that could be other countries plans to disarm us.

forget your conspiracy theories for a minute and answer this: why do American laws allow for such a high volume of mass shootings? at the very logical core, to reduce these events, would either a ban on ALL guns be voted on to reduce as much as possible deaths (as it seems pro life is a tune that many like to sing but seldom apply it outside of birth related matters) or keep guns but severely regulate rate of fire and caliber. if none of the above is addressed, nothing will change. and yeah, the states IS the laughing stock of the world, especially when it comes to double standards as meddling in foreign affaires when at home, citizens are killing each other. well done 'merica.

Biden put his friends in high positions that none of them are qualified for. Here's the result..chaos..
The definition of an expert, someone who lives more than 50 miles away and charges a vast amount of money for sharing random thoughts.
They use shovels in the military, gonna ban them too?
Everything is “self evident” with these people.
These people never answer any questions! How are they allowed to do this? Insanity
Senator, these are the words I was told to say.
It’s so gross how many of these people can’t answer simple questions and comically show themselves to be the weasels they’re so often compared to.
Our government is a joke. How do so many of these unqualified individuals end up in these positions??! This is pathetic.
Applause and thanks for Kennedy calling out Scummer as well.

Q: What do you consider an assault weapon? A: I’m sad about these things like Nashville
After that I'm convinced he could be looking directly at one and couldn't describe it!
“I want to ban something I don’t have the requisite expertise to even know what it is”
Imagine the arrogance. Ruling over something he has no idea about is scary.
Does anybody ever actually answer questions in these hearings?
If you can't define it and need to consult and "expert" then why isn't the "expert" here to answer the real questions
Assault weapon: anything that kills someone, including a fist.
