President Joe Biden delivered remarks Wednesday on the administration’s strategy to prevent gun crimes across the country when he said there is “a range of programs” he believes are needed to keep Americans from pulling the trigger.
A reporter asked Biden what he feels would be the “most effective thing that government can do to change the mindset of those who feel compelled to pull the triggers” of guns.
Biden said in response to the question that one could hope to change the mindset of people by “being engaged in a whole range of programs.”
He continued to say that involves “everything from mental health programs” to start engaging with people earlier on and “letting them know there’s other options.”
We need to be “making sure that when a child is young, they have access to real education, they get started off on the right foot,” Biden continued.
In addition, he said when someone gets out of prison, someone should be “making sure” they are not going to be “denied public housing” and therefore, “don’t have to go back under the bridge where they were living before, that they are able to get help for healthcare, et cetera.”
Most importantly Biden said we ought to be “Re-engaging them in the neighborhood, giving them some hope, some opportunity.”
He also said that while you reengage people back “in the neighborhood” after they are released from prison, you also need to be “making sure that those folks who are taking advantage of them by taking advantage of their situation are in fact held accountable.”

Barack and Joe prove that some presidents are not the smartest people in the world.
So the giant social spending boondoggle that couldn’t get sold as “infrastructure” is now being pitched as “crime prevention”.
WRONG !
Unless the PC crowd has renamed jails public housing, nothing he said will make any difference at all.
I invite Joe to visit the South side of Chicago to promote these programs.

“... after they are released from prison, you also need to be “making sure that those folks who are taking advantage of them by taking advantage of their situation are in fact held accountable.””
See? It is always someone else’s fault.
Did he say trigger?
Did he mean finger?
What a dipshit.
“...he believes are needed to keep Americans from pulling the trigger.”
This nasty, corrupt, vile old man smears and equates “Americans” with murderers. He could have said, keep criminals from pulling the trigger. No sir, he says “Americans.”
My gun won’t shoot unless I pull the trigger. I can’t hit the target unless I pull the trigger. Well . . . that was until the tragic boating accident.

Bidet has no clue what is going on in the real world.
There are very long waiting lists for public housing almost everywhere.
A criminal released from jail would go to the end of the line, which means in most cases they will be back in jail for their next crime long before they get into a public housing unit.
I’m not sure who pulled the trigger,
but odds are it was the ...

He’s talking about blacks ?
Hey, what about locking up criminals who misuse guns?
/s
How about midnight basketball?
That was Bill Clintons program.
It’s amazing to me that these idiots still purport to believe that criminals obtain their guns through any legal process, and that more ‘gun regulation’ will STOP them from obtaining guns.
(And I guess they don’t care about all the fentanyl flowing into our country. That probably has a lot more potential to kill people than exists among law-abiding gun owners...)
