President Joe Biden has been ending press briefings sooner as his presidency nears its end. However, before he took a break for the weekend, he made sure to release a statement acknowledging the 12th anniversary of the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. In this message, Biden highlighted his achievements in enacting gun control laws.
Biden in a press release touted his administration’s efforts to combat gun violence but argued that there was more to be done — especially as his presidency enters the final stretch.
“Congress has an obligation to ‘do something’ in order to protect our children and communities from this scourge of gun violence,” the president wrote. “We are the only nation experiencing this epidemic and there are common sense policies that the majority of Americans agree with, and that Congress can easily take action on.”
“Jill and I still grieve this unimaginable loss and continue to pray for the victims’ families and others traumatized by this senseless violence,” he wrote. “Many individuals impacted by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School have turned their pain into purpose.”
“The legacy of this tragedy is one of great loss — but also hope,” he added. “Twelve years ago, moms sitting at their kitchen counters went online, expressed their outrage, and organized for commonsense gun safety legislation.”
Yeah, Moms Demand Action, bought and paid for by Michael Bloomberg, has been real effective (not) in trying to recruit new legislators to do their bidding.

They want to leave you defenseless. I refuse to surrender your constitutional rights, so this is what I sent back to these gun grabbers.
The special interests are going to come after me for standing up for your Constitutional rights, so I am asking for your help!

And Alex Jones, who became a scapegoat because of his ill-advised commentary on the Sandy Hook shooting, is still alive, well, and now suing the parents. If this 12-year anniversary signifies anything, it’s that gun control policy and the symbols used to further it hold as much relevance as anything that emits from Biden’s mouth.
Since 2022, 29 out of 50 states have enacted Constitutional Carry, and President-elect Donald Trump made a campaign pledge to sign legislation for concealed carry reciprocity should he be elected. So, here we are, and any dreams by Biden of more gun control legislation are just that. But, he still thinks he has sway and say over federal policy, and his handlers are allowing him to run with this delusion.
The remarks come nearly three months after Biden signed an executive order focused on gun violence prevention. Under the order, the administration aimed to crack down on 3D printed firearms — such as the ghost gun used in the recent fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson — and to improve active shooter drills at schools across the nation.
With 36 days before January 20, Biden and Co. are just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. Guess they need to occupy their time with something since actually running the country has not been high on the priority list. Just another day ending in “Y.”
