Biden, Harris Call for Gun Reforms to ‘Honor’ Sandy Hook Victims

Brittany Bernstein  19 hrs ago





President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Monday called for “common sense” gun reforms in honor of the eight-year anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary that killed 20 children and six adults.


© Kevin Lamarque/Reuters President-elect Joe Biden speaks about the U.S. economy as Vice President-elect Kamala Harris stands by following their briefing with economic advisers in Wilmington, Del., November 16, 2020.

Biden, who was vice president when the shooting occurred in 2012, called it the “saddest day we had in the White House.”


The president-elect said in a statement that he remains in awe of the “grandparents, parents, siblings, children, spouses, and fellow broken and healing hearts of Sandy Hook.”

“I have heard from and watched as so many of you turned pain into purpose, working to change our laws and our culture around gun violence and how we protect and nurture our children,” he said.

He praised those who became activists in the wake of the shooting, saying they “helped us forge a consensus that gun violence is a national health crisis and we need to address its total cost to fully heal families, communities, and our nation.”

“Eight years later, there have been plenty of thoughts and prayers, but we know that is not enough,” Biden said. “Together with you and millions of our fellow Americans of every background all across our nation, we will fight to end this scourge on our society and enact common sense reforms that are supported by a majority of Americans and that will save countless lives.”

In a tweet Vice President-elect Kamala Harris called for gun reform to “honor” the victims of the shooting.

“To honor the lives lost in this terrible tragedy, it’s past time we implement common-sense gun safety reforms to keep our children safe,” she said.

Since the Sandy Hook shooting — which was the second-deadliest school shooting and the fourth-deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history — more than 20 state legislatures have expanded background check requirements on some types of firearms, according to The Hill.

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.,) said in a tweet that the victims should be honored with “positive action” and to “redouble efforts against gun violence under a new administration.”

“We mark this painful 8th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook with renewed resolve—to honor the beautiful lives lost with positive action & redouble efforts against gun violence under a new administration,” he wrote

    Common sense gun control to a DEMOCRAT is in reality a red herring.

    DEMOCRATs want all guns under their control. "Their" meaning the federal government.

    ln jo's 2020 platform he wanted to END ALL lnternet sales of guns&parts, ammo&components. There would no more auction sites like GunBroker. Online sellers like MidWay, Natchez, MidSouth would disappear overnite. Consumers/buyers like me would at the mercy of the local gun shop or sporting goods store. The whole country's guns/ammo purchase system would be run after the ''California gun/ammo'' buying model... This could all be done with the stroke of a pen on an Executive order. He said he would do in his first 100 days

    lf all gun owners had voted for ''Gun Candidates'' there wouldn't be enough Democrats left in DC to fill a DC cab.

    Sadly and as usual, gun owners DON'T stick together.

    After years of creating the "mass killing: they ( the dumocraps) are now ready to take your guns. Most all of the mass killings were democrap sponsored. The history of the killers proves this. Hold on to your shirt, the fight is just starting and have a Merry Christmas, because it will probably be the last.

    The question is - who is at the top of the hill?

    Are we at the top and they are coming up (difficult climb)?

    Are they at the top and we use the top for a TRP (Target Reference Point)?

    Mjrfd99 - has it pegged.

    Way too many people tend to advertise their intentions and/or their plans on a Public Forum on the Internet. (You know, like where we are now.)

    Not really a good OPSEC plan.

  • Floyd621Floyd621 Member Posts: 1,945 ✭✭✭✭

    I just read where the Supreme Court said they wouldn't hear the Texas case for fear of riots...and the Democrats will win the Senate in Georgia..2022 will be way too late because even if we get both houses then Biden won't sign anything...or should I say Harris..

    I have been on other forums where we are discussing that, and have several multi-group Texts where we are discussing that as well Floy621.

    It has been reported by several Aides to SCOTUS Judges that they could hear "Yelling and Screaming" through walls and closed doors amounting to their not wanting to be held responsible for Massive Rioting on a National scale.

    Although a stand of sheer Cowardice and an Abdication of their Responsibilities in my Opinion, they might have also taken in to account that it would take 4-12 months to fully hear and make a judgment on the case. Leaving no clear President in charge. (Realizing that the following legislative action was bound to occur.)

    Per the Constitution, If the House and Senate on Jan 6th both have Members that cast the validity of the Vote into question, and have those that will Second the Motion - and there are all indications that that will take place, the Vote goes to the Senate. With only one Vote going to each State, Trump has more States than Biden. We should prevail.

    This will be a Constitutional solution to the fix we find ourselves in.

    Yes, there will be Massive National Rioting of an unprecedented scale. It is either that, or Aqueous to a Fraud of an Election and a subverting of the Will of the People, in terms of who we chose as POTUS. (Trump)
