Biden Divides Again

It's generally accepted that one of the ways to measure a person's character is to see how they react in a crisis.  Do they rise to the occasion or are their worst instincts magnified? 

 

Well, the past two days have been very revealing.  Leading progressive politicians have contributed little of value to the national debate, and have only done their best to exacerbate our pain.  In the wake of the Uvalde tragedy, radicals all over the country showed their true colors.  Here are some of the "lowlights."

 

 

 

Joe Biden

 

After returning from Asia, President Biden ran to the TV cameras and began going through the motions of comforting grieving parents.  But within mere minutes, he was yelling at conservatives, attacking law-abiding gun owners, mocking hunters and berating his political opponents. 

 

The so-called "solutions" Biden and other progressives are demanding would do nothing.  (Here and here.)  Meanwhile, they have blocked common-sense measures.  (Here and here.) 

 

The Uvalde shooter purchased his weapons legally.  He passed background checks.  There are already laws against murder and carrying weapons on school grounds. 

 

Criminals intent on committing illegal acts are going to break the law – any law that might be passed. That's what makes them criminals. 

 

Polling shows that the American people understand that, and they reject so-called "gun control" solutions of the left.  For example, the latest Harvard/Harris poll found that by a whopping 30-point margin, voters favored tougher enforcement of existing gun laws (65%) over passing new gun laws (35%).
