This is disgusting..already using the corpses of these innocents as political capital barely minutes in.
 
Stand by for online gun websites to crash......

The people will be speaking....and buying.
 
What is there else to buy? I guess there will be a run now on HKS speedloaders for revolvers and Glock "Gunny" T-shirts.
 
Excuse typos, going fast

* Thanks Joe Biden
* Protecting children shouldn't be a divisive issue
* Honor memories of children by preventing this from happening again
* Kids sent letters in, four with him today, representative of messages he got.
* Reads excerpts from children's letters
* We should be thinking about responsibility to shield children from harm
* This is our first task as a society, keeping children safe, this is how we will be judged.
 
There are so many people that really want this and feel that one man, their man, should be able to just make things happen. I've heard it many times.
They just do not believe in the original processes our republic was founded on.
 
* Asked cabinet to come up with concrete steps to take right now to prevent mass shootings
* to reduce broader epidemic of gun violence
* can't put this off any longer
* last thursday, another school shooting in California
* In the month since 20 precious children were taken more than 900 of our fellow americans have reportedly died at the end of a gun
* every day we wait that number will keep growing
* so I'm putting forward a specific set of proposals based on Joe's task force
* Intend to use whatever weight the office holds to make them a reality
* no law or set of laws can prevent any act completely, if there is even ONE thing we can do to reduce violence, ONE life that can be saved, we have an obligation to try

How many of those 900 were in Chicago and Washington, DC- 2 of the most restrictive places in the US for gun laws?
 
The details are emerging... and it sounds like his hands are tied. He's doing exactly what LaPiere suggested. haha.
 
As soon as I'm finished speaking here I'm signing a directive giving law enforcement / etc some of the tools they need to reduce gun violence.
We'll make it easier to .. strengthing background checks
more schools to hire resource officers
mental health reporting easier
while year after year those who oppose gun control agenda I will direct the centers for disease control to study the best way to reduce it,
congress to fund violent video game research
we don't benefit from ignorance, not knowing, this epidemic of violence
these are a few of the 23 executive actions I'm announcing today
no substitute for legislation
to make a real and lasting diference, congress must act, and act soon. and I'm calling on cnogress to pas very speciic proposals right away
 
Also, guns are the problem but he still wants to direct the CDC to "study the issue"?
 
* Universal background check for anyone buying a gun
* 1.5 million wrong people prohibited to date by background checks
* 40% of gun purases conducted without background check, no safe, or smart etc
* if you wantna buy a gun you should at least show you are not a felon or someon legally prohibited from buying one, this is common sense
* 70% of NRA members support stronger background checks

second

Congress should restore a ban on military weapons and a 10 round limit on magazines
