I’ve been hearing the “blood on their hands” cliché for over a decade now. HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT LIKE IT WAS I.E. WHAT BIDEN DID NOT DO IS COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT WAS REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE BLOCKED COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS. What you are proposing will do nothing, will solve nothing, doesn’t address the root cause of these massacres, and will only end up restricting gun owners that have no intent to harm people. The Stoneman Douglas High School shooter killed 17 with nothing but 10 round magazines. The Virginia Tech shooter killed 37, yes, 37, with a glock 19 handgun. “I am here on this floor, to beg, to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues … find a way to pass laws that make this less likely.” /ts4VnbTJRHīiden was correct in blaming the Gun Lobby and the firearms industry pushing the advertising and sale of assault weapons, the weapon of choice for mass murder. Murphy presses fellow senators in emotional speech after Texas elementary school shooting. While delivered under the worst possible circumstances, Biden’s comments tonight weren’t substantially different from those he’s delivered dozens of times before, with the same tropes, talking points, and misinformation sprinkled in.īecause he said nothing new, they’re unlikely to satisfy those on the anti-gun left who have used similar horrific shootings to push their agenda of stricter gun control laws…none of which would have done anything to prevent the shooting in Uvalde today, or the Buffalo grocery store, or the Taiwanese church in Orange County. He then closed with a call for prayers “for those parents lying in bed, wondering if they’ll be able to sleep again, what to say to other children, what will happen tomorrow.” And to let those who block common sense gun laws know that we won’t forget.” To be clear, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has reported that the Uvalde shooter used “a handgun and possibly a rifle.”Īfter saying that he wondered why similar shootings don’t happen with the same frequency in other countries, Biden asked, “Why do we keep letting this happen? Where is our backbone to stand up the the lobbies?”īiden then said that “We have to make it clear to every elected official that it’s time to act. But gun makers aggressively market them because they make them the most profit.”
“What do you need an ‘assault weapon’ for except to kill people? There are no deer running around in Kevlar vests.
