Biden urges Congress to pass 'commonsense' gun law reforms on 3rd anniversary of Parkland shooting
On the third anniversary of the Parkland school shooting, President Biden called upon Congress to "enact commonsense gun law reforms."
In a Sunday statement, Biden recalled the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which killed 17 people, including 14 students.
"For three years now, the Parkland families have spent birthdays and holidays without their loved ones," he said. "They’ve missed out on the experience of sending their children off to college or seeing them on their first job after high school. Like far too many families, they’ve had to bury pieces of their soul deep within the Earth. Like far too many families — and, indeed, like our nation — they’ve been left to wonder whether things would ever be okay."
Nikolas Cruz, the suspected lone gunman in the shooting, has pleaded guilty in hopes of avoiding the death penalty, and his trial has been indefinitely delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Since the shooting, several Parkland students have become activists. Biden appeared to reference them in his statement.
"Over these three years, the Parkland families have taught all of us something profound. Time and again, they have showed us how we can turn our grief into purpose — to march, organize, and build a strong, inclusive, and durable movement for change," he said.
The president added that his administration "will not wait" for another mass shooting to happen before taking action.

Notice they don’t care how long the families of dead ones by illegals have been without their loved ones????
When any democrat says “common sense,” you can be sure everything that follows is anything but.
Pass a law to remove all gun laws at a federal level. That is the only sensible gun law given that military is currently occupying D.C
If biden wants it I think he should come get it himself. That’s all I can say...
Sounds like someone is inciting a little insurrection against the second amendment...
Or the dozens of blacks gunned down in inner-cities every weekend by thugs who illegally own their guns.
Wasn’t Parkland a gun free zone?
Does common sense mean citizens should be defenseless and afraid of Democrat mobs?
Common sense gun laws - oxymoron. There is no such thing being proposed.
The measures they propose make no sense for the goals they enumerate.
By the very legislation China jo pushed for as a sinator.
Plus he’s opening the border without giving one damn about what is coming in whether it be drug gangs, killers, rapists, pedos, the victims of all that can go to hell.
I live on Long Island New York 10 minutes away from Brentwood where 32 kids total were murdered from Obamas “unaccompanied minors” scam that allowed MS-13 gang members from El Salvador to swarm into the country. To this day they are still busting them and this piece of garbage Biden is resupplying the amount of killers.

Here we go...
Sorry, Cho, the House is too busy trying to mug Trump to tend to your petty legislation. SDNY is looking over their files for parking tickets as we speak.
I’d like to see some “commonsense” tar and feathering of those thieving swamp maggots up in the District of Corruption.
Joe Biden? Common sense? This I gotta see.
Not “common-sense” but rather “communism-sense”.
Even a fraction of Biden’s proposals would impact MULTIPLE MILLIONS of Americans of which most will not register their stuff.
If the police was tasked with arresting and/or getting in firefights with that many Americans it would take so many productive people(gun owners) out of the workforce and into a prison system that that alone would collapse the country, economically, and otherwise. It is beyond insane.
