TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Sorrow reverberated across the country Sunday as Americans, including President Joe Biden, joined a Florida community in remembering the 17 lives lost three years ago in the Parkland school shooting massacre.
“In seconds, the lives of dozens of families, and the life of an American community, were changed forever,” Biden said in a statement released Sunday.
The president used the occasion to call on Congress to strengthen gun laws, including requiring background checks on all gun sales and banning assault weapons.

No. Screen out the problem kids who are obviously not OK as this one was not. He was known to have serious problems. Has nothing to do with gun control.

Another attempted start on disarming the citizens and of course using a preventable awful massacre as a means to impose their communism over all of us.
Come and get them, Usurper Biden.
Free America.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, chairman of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, told members that Lynda Cruz was "an enabler" who interfered with efforts to get her son Nikolas Cruz treatment.
"If he wants to have a gun, he could have a gun," Gualtieri said Lynda Cruz told his counselors. Lynda Cruz died in November, three months before investigators say her 19-year-old son killed 17 at the school on Valentine's Day.
Gualtieri told members that school and mental health counselors had at least 140 contacts with Nikolas Cruz over the years trying to get him help, but his mother frequently interfered. He did not go into specifics.

Parkland happened because a disturbed kid was kept in a place where he could do damage thanks to retarded liberal laws. People begged the authorities to place that boy in a facility where he could be properly looked after. Going after gun owner's rights is just a dodge of responsibility.

Here's what a pre-dementia Joe Biden said in 2008: “I guarantee ya’ Barack Obama ain’t takin’ my shotgun, so don’t buy that malarkey. Don’t buy that malarkey. They’re gonna start peddling that to you. I’ve got two. If he tries to fool with my Beretta he’s got a problem. I like that little over and under. I’m not bad with it.”

Of course he would. Because he has it in his fevered head that HE stopped AR15's "off the street" (whatever the hell that means). I bought my AR15 before the dirtbag got sworn in just because I figured he'd get Beto O'Dork to run his ATF organization. Stocking up on ammo was the tougher thing than buying a few more guns... crazy prices and out of stock situations going on. I suspect the Feds are making MASSIVE purchases of ammunition direct from the big manufacturers to reduce the chance of an armed "recapture" of the Representative Republic, Constitutionally Mandated, Federal Government after the 2020 election was STOLEN.

Apply "got" in place of "stopped" in the above.

Push for the laws? I guess you can't do it with an EO, eh, Joe? A 5 seat majority in the house won't get it done. Slo Joe's handlers know it, but the talking points ad nauseum will give the main stream typists some thing to sound off about.

5X more Americans die from drug over doses than from guns How about closing the border, numb nuts
And by far most gun violence and death is from hand guns - not long guns.or AR15s. If the thousands of gun laws currently on the books aren't working then rescind them. And what race commits most of the gun crime? But passing that kind of law would be racist!
We know this is about dim's fear of the American people - not gun violence

I'm wondering if he really made that statement on his own? But I'll bet everyone here can guess he didn't. I feel like I'm living in the twilight zone.
