Joe Biden could have been the unifier that he said he was on Tuesday night when he addressed the Uvalde massacre shooting. Biden started off well by lowering the flag at half-mast and then expressing his sympathy for the families and parents of those who were killed. Biden then turned his empathy and sadness to politics by pushing for gun control legislation, without specifying what laws could have prevented the Tuesday shooting.

“As a nation, we have to ask, when in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?!” Biden said. “When in God’s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?” The gun lobby has nothing to do with someone evil or mentally ill, willing to break all the gun laws and other laws that were already in place that this young man broke. Biden claimed that these shootings were down since the 1994 assault weapons ban, which he had helped to pass.
Biden made a bizarre comment about deer wearing Kevlar.

Tucker Carlson claimed that Biden would get credit for his comments if he was able to act like a unifier. However, he predicted that he wouldn’t. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that hard a prediction.
Tucker Carlson takes aim at Biden’s remarks about Texas’ tragic shooting:
“Frail, confused, bitterly partisan, desecrating the memory of recently murdered children … dividing the country in a moment of deep pain rather than uniting.” pic.twitter.com/oueQjTKu7z

Failing, confused, and bitterly divided, The United States President desecrates children’s memories with tired talk points of Democratic Party. In a moment of great pain, instead of uniting, the President of the United States raises his voice, but only because he continues to repeat the same talking points for more than 35 years in United States Senate. He considers partisan politics the only thing that motivates him.
Biden could have thought of the families and parents of the victims for just a few hours. That’s where the focus should be, instead of on trying to yet again push for his political agenda. Take a minute to show compassion for those who are now gone. But he couldn’t do it. Instead, he chose to fixate on the gun. This makes it seem that the gun or people supporting gun rights is the problem. It distracts from the actual evil and mental illness in many of these cases.
That’s the problem at this point. Democrats like Biden don’t want to look at solutions that might actually do something about addressing such situations such as making the schools more secure with things like single-point entry at schools as Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed in the Parkland shooting, advocates.
Also, you may want to make sure that the existing laws are enforced and that the signs of trouble that appear in these cases are addressed. It’s easy to shout “do something.” It’s harder to try to deal with difficult issues in a way that will truly have a result.
But Democrats have instead concentrated on things like “defund the police” which has made things harder. We’ve also seen progressive prosecutors not holding criminals to account. A lot of crimes are being committed without any consequence. Even in the case of Hunter Biden, gun laws weren’t enforced when it came to him allegedly not truthfully responding about his past drug use in filling out an application for a gun.
We should stop criminal activity, and not try to demonize firearms again, or not really address the issue.
