Joe Biden Admits More Gun Control Wouldn\u2019t Have Stopped Synagogue Attacker<\/a><\/p>\n

President Joe Biden took questions on Saturday\u2019s Texas synagogue attack and suggested more gun control would not have stopped the attacker.<\/p>\n

Reuters\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0the attacker, 44-year-old\u00a0Malik Faisal Akram, was a\u00a0citizen<\/a> of the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Federal agents stormed the synagogue after a 10-h0ur hostage standoff and Akram is now dead.<\/p>\n

Biden\u00a0commented<\/a>\u00a0on the incident,\u00a0mentioning\u00a0more gun control, only to admit that more gun control would not have helped in this situation:<\/p>\n

Allegedly, [Akram]\u00a0purchased\u2026[the weapons] on the street.\u00a0 Now what that means, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 Whether he purchased it from an individual in a homeless shelter or a homeless community, or whether \u2014 because that\u2019s where he said he was \u2014 it\u2019s hard to tell.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

\u2026The guns are \u2014 we should be \u2014 the idea of background checks are critical.\u00a0 But you can\u2019t stop something like this if someone is on the street buying something from somebody else on the street.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Biden then\u00a0criticized<\/a>\u00a0the surging gun sales America has witnessed during the past two years: \u201cThere\u2019s so many guns that have been sold of late; it\u2019s just ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Breitbart News\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0nearly 23 million guns were sold in 2020 and that the FBI\u00a0conducted<\/a>\u00a0over 38,8 million National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) checks in 2021. The 38.8 is not a precise indicator of\u00a0 the number of guns sold, but it does suffice to show that surge in gun sales continued into 2021.<\/p>\n

It is important to understand nearly 23 millions guns sold in 2020, mentioned above, and the number sold after NICS checks in 2021 were all sold via background checks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
