Shooting of 19 children in the USA: Biden made a statement

12

On Tuesday, May 24, a shooting occurred in one of the elementary schools in the Texas city of Yuvald. The fire was opened by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, who shot 19 children and two adults. Later, the offender was eliminated by the police.

As State Senator Roland Gutierrez informed, Ramos had previously shot at his grandmother - fortunately, the woman survived and was sent to the hospital.



In connection with the incident, Joseph Biden made a special statement. According to the President, officials must understand that the time has come for decisive action.

We have to ask ourselves when, in the name of all that is holy, we will start to confront the gun lobby. It's time to turn this pain into action... I'm fed up with this!

- noted Biden.

According to the head of state, in no country in the world there are so many incidents with shootings in educational institutions as in the United States. At the same time, the President called for the adoption of laws restricting the sale of firearms, and recalled similar precedents.

When we passed the Assault Weapons Ban Act, mass shootings went down. When the law expired, the number of such cases tripled. It's just not right that an 18 year old can buy two assault rifles in a store.

Joseph Biden was outraged.

The President also expressed his condolences to the families of those killed in the Texas school.

According to the Assiciated Press, the current massacre was one of the bloodiest in a series of such events. Meanwhile, the shooting at the Sandy Hook School in Connecticut on December 14, 2012 claimed the lives of 20 children and six adults, which became a kind of “anti-record” in terms of the number of victims. The perpetrator turned out to be 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who had previously shot his mother.

      Will Biden take away the weapons that have already been sold from the population? Judging by the photo and surname, the attack was carried out by a young Latino. The question is why did he do it? What is the mood of Latinos in Texas? Texas was taken from Mexico in 1845.

      As payment for a $10 million debt, Texas placed large tracts of land under federal administration that are now parts of the states of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

      Now, as compensation for the 300 billion dollars stolen by the States from Russia, Alaska should be transferred under the federal administration of Russia. Precedent!

      Just do not need to translate the usual criminal case of a Latino who has outplayed shooters with a flying cuckoo into a political plane.

        And Breivik - with a flown cuckoo or a political plane?

          Do not mix warm with square. A shkolota who has moved out and an ideological neo-Nazi are far from being the same thing.

            Anders Breivik is an isolated incident.
            And in the States: "shkoloty who moved out" shoot systematically.
            J. Kennedy somehow got in the way of the arms lobby!

            And shkolota is also often ideological.

      America gets what it brought up. Since their inception, they have fed those who hate others. They supply it with weapons. They spread this hatred to everyone on Earth. So there is nothing to be surprised that in our country this happens all the time.

      He must have been racially motivated. But no details are given.

      How many incidents in Russian schools are hushed up. All the showdowns between the chokers decide not to take them upstairs. Thank God almost no shooting.

        - without shooting, this does not mean that without victims and disabilities ...
