Will Biden pass another crime bill like he did in 1994 to address the current crime spike?

And armed ones.

It authorized $30.2 billion"

"the final conference report vote was 61-38, with just two Democrats voting no."

"The House passed the final bill 235-195, with nearly three times as many Democrats supporting it as opposing it."

Biden won't pass anything legislatively. He likes Executive Orders where he can put on his Dictator hat. For anyone keeping track he has now done that 90 times and is outpacing his predecessor.

If Congress tries to pass a crime bill before November, it would probably be some bill more concerned about "equity" and making the victims or anyone who tries to defend themselves the criminal.

But the reality is we don't need new laws, we just need officials to enforce the laws we have. We can start off by not having local prosecutors who are saying they will no longer enforce laws on certain crimes.

I would be happy if they just used existing laws to keep the most violent ones off the streets. Repeat violent offenders are the ones we can control. Non-Violent offenders should do community service
