Biden, Harris Use Sandy Hook to Call for \u2018Gun Reforms,\u2019 Meaning Control<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Monday called for \u201cgun reforms\u201d to honor the victims of the 2012 shooting that left 20 youngsters and six adults dead.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what Second Amendment activists call \u201ccamo speak\u201d for more gun control. Anti-gun Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal chimed in, according to Fox News, declaring the Sandy Hook victims should be honored with \u201cpositive action\u201d and he expects the incoming Biden administration will \u201credouble the efforts against gun violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s legitimacy as the next president got a boost from Republican Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, who congratulated the former vice president by declaring the Electoral College \u201chas spoken.\u201d The Drudge Report blared this headline: \u201cSeason Finale: McConnell Finishes Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden and Harris insist they want \u201ccommon sense\u201d gun \u201creforms,\u201d according to the Associated Press. It all translates to the same thing, according to grassroots gun rights activists: More restrictions on law-abiding citizens that will ultimately not prevent a single violent crime involving a firearm.<\/p>\n

Sandy Hook was the work of a single mentally-deranged individual, Adam Lanza. Prior to the shooting, Lanza murdered his mother, took her guns from a safe and headed to the school in her car. While a Connecticut news organ, The Day, editorialized for additional gun controls, a reader who signed in as Keith J. Robbins reacted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Day again gives lip service to the mental health issue, the actual reason for all the incidents mentioned was a failure by the liberal mental health system,\u201d Robbins wrote. \u201cNewtown happened because a parent enabled a child to commit murder, she paid the ultimate price for her failure. The child should have been institutionalized, as has been documented multiple times\u2026The Day fails to address the continued carnage in Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and we are beginning to see it in New York, those communities have extensive gun laws and continue to be run by democrats. As we see emboldened criminals, because of a lax if non-existence criminal justice system, the Second Amendment becomes more prevalent for law abiding citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Day wants to extend the background check period from three to ten days. It wants so-called \u201cuniversal background checks\u201d for all gun transfers, except between family members\u2014a mandate that would not have prevented Sandy Hook, since Lanza killed his mother and used her guns\u2014and a ban on so-called \u201cassault rifles\u201d and original capacity magazines.<\/p>\n

The Day editorial claims these are \u201csome sensible reforms that are popular with the American public, including many gun owners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only thing that could derail Biden\u2019s gun control schemes would be a Republican victory in the two Senate races slated Jan. 5 in Georgia. If incumbent Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler retain their seats, the GOP will remain in control of the Senate and provide a barrier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
