Biden says gun violence has turned America’s communities into ‘killing fields’

Thank you President Biden for speaking the truth!

"President Joe Biden on Monday said gun violence has turned everyday places in America into “killing fields” as he marked the passage of the first significant federal gun safety legislation in 30 years.

'Biden said the package he signed into law represents “an important start,” but more needs to be done to curb the alarming rate of shootings.

“Now’s the time to galvanize this movement because that’s our duty to the people of the nation. That’s what we owe those families in Buffalo, where a grocery store became a killing field. That’s what we owe those families in Uvalde, where an elementary school became a killing field. That’s what we owe those families in Highland Park, where on July Fourth, a parade became a killing field,” Biden said.

"The President continued, “That’s what we owe all those families represented here today and all over this country the past many years across our schools, places of worship, workplaces, stores, music festivals, nightclubs and so many other everyday places that have turned into killing fields.”

Damn, Joe. I don't disagree with you, but I frigging hope you have your priorities straight and know what you're doing.

Millions of Americans have repeatedly elected politicians who would prefer being able to live in a nanny state where there are fewer restrictions on bloodshed then risking getting overtaken by dope smoking, n-gerloving,communist free love hippies or foreigners, and you may need some of their votes.

I wish you didn't obviously, but I live in a red state, and you wont win it by talking like this.
@MistyCee people choose to care about certain things. America could have reasonable priorities -. And you could stop answering to fascists. You like this, instead of progress.
@Roundandroundwego Is OP the fascist, or is Biden?

This aside, my neighbors dont see themselves as fascists, and I wish folks like Biden could carry my district or at least make it a little less awkward.
@MistyCee folks like Biden are also fascists. Things could be different. Those people could be completely wrong and we can admit that. But we're here instead.

Boebert is a lot of the problem, she should be neutralized.
Yup. Guns and cars. The alternatives all seem impossible and the losses don't get tallied up because conservatives benefit and we lose. It's America's way.

Sadly, the same people who created the situation by politicizing equality for sexual minorities will criticize him for "making this political".

@CorvusBlackthorne Republicans only know how to criticize, they don’t know how to build constructively.
@CorvusBlackthorne guns make it happen.

@justanothername The only plan Republicans have is giving tax breaks as directed by lobbyiests.

@Ferise1 Yeah we can really fight off the U.S. military with our AR-15s. The government aren't going to fine me for littering no more!

But really I think everyone needs their own artillery. Imagine the fun you could have with a 105mm howitzer. Noisy neighbors? BOOM! Their doggy piddles on your lawn? BOOM! No more doggy. Oh wait, how about your own rocket-propelled grenade launcher! And stinger missiles, and flame-throwers, and your own tactical nuclear weapons. Become the major power on your block! Then you could get a hydrogen bomb and then.....
