If Democrats truly believe that assault weapons are a threat to children…

Then why did Biden and Harris abandon thousands of assault weapons to the Taliban in Afghanistan?

Because they are incompetent
@SpoiledbratAshley that’s not factual in any way, but nothing more than a partisan view and statement without knowing all the details.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan by American and coalition troops was originally ordered by and started by President Trump. As part of the United States–Taliban deal, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021, if the Taliban kept its commitments. At the start of the Biden administration, there were 2,500 US soldiers remaining in Afghanistan and, in April 2021, Biden said the US would not begin withdrawing these soldiers before 1 May, but would complete the withdrawal symbolically by 11 September.
@WastedTime There were condition with the Trump withdrawal plan, Step one had to be completed, then step 2, etc. The withdrawal was not to move forward until the steps were completed. Biden ignored the conditions and departed unconditionally, resulting in countless deaths, a betrayal of our allies.

It was NOT ordered by Trump. It was ordered by Biden. Trump negotiated a plan, period. If you think Trump ordered the withdrawal why were US allies caught unprepared? They woke one morning and the US was leaving.
