President Biden demanded punishment for families who leave guns unlocked Tuesday — in his first public remarks since his son Hunter was convicted of three felonies for illegally owning a gun that another Biden family member tossed into a public dumpster.

“It’s time we establish universal background checks — and by the way, and require the safe storage of firearms,” the 81-year-old said at a pro-gun control conference blocks from the White House. “We should hold families responsible if they don’t provide those locks on those guns.”

Biden didn’t directly address the guilty verdict against his 54-year-old son while delivering the pre-scheduled speech to the group Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit founded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
