Biden Responds To Uvalde!

The president and vice president respond to the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school. They had already addressed the Buffalo, New York mass shooting. The Buffalo shooting killed 10 people. The terrorist is a white man who opened fire on shoppers and workers at Tops Friendly Market. Many of the victims were Black and two were white.

Now the president will address the Uvalde shooting.  Over 23 people were killed in this latest school shooting.

"I'd hoped, when I became president, I would not have to do this. again," Biden began during a news conference on Tuesday. "Another massacre. Uvalde, Texas. An elementary school. Beautiful, innocent second, third, fourth-graders. And how many scores of little children who witnessed what happened, see their friends die as if they're in a battlefield for God's sake. They'll live with it for the rest of their lives."  

President Joe Biden was furious.

"When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?" Biden said at the White House.

The shooting happened in a Texas town and of course, the far-right agitators will attack it. 

Biden's call for gun control on Tuesday was booed at a campaign event in Georgia hosted by Herschel Walker, a Republican running for U.S. Senate. 

Vice President Kamala Harris said earlier that people normally declare in moments like this, "our hearts break — but our hearts keep getting broken ... and our broken hearts are nothing compared to the broken hearts of those families." 

"We have to have the courage to take action ... to ensure something like this never happens again," she said. 

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden was briefed on the shooting aboard Air Force One. 

Coming from his overseas trip, Biden gets in touch with Abbott.

Shortly before landing in Washington, he spoke with Texas Gov. Karen Abbott from the presidential plane "to offer any and all assistance he needs in the wake of the horrific shooting in Uvalde, TX," White House communications director Kate Bedingfield tweeted. Biden directed that American flags be flown at half-staff through sunset Saturday in honor of the victims in Texas.

Abbott will take a brief break from whining about the border and baby formula to whine about Biden saying something about gun violence.

The Republican governor was openly bragging about Texas having weak gun laws. The weak gun laws made it possible for anyone of age to obtain firearms. You have to be 21 in Texas, but you don't have to be of age to have a firearm if someone give it to you as a gift or a straw man purchase. 

You can legally carry a firearm in Texas without being arrested. 

Only if you're white! Texas is really messed up when it comes to firearms. These damn culture wars are going to get people killed.
