Biden should address the fact mass shootings almost exclusively occur in big liberal cities that want more gun control yet are very uncommon in conservative areas.
Well stated.

Maybe now the liberals will realize firsthand that voting has consequences?
The 24/7 McDonalds has attracted black youths for more than 40 years. I used to live a few blocks from there and it was understood, one avoided the intersection after sundown.

It’s sort of a “tween” area between the Gold Coast and the River North area.

Nothing there for underaged kids or anyone without money to burn at bars and trendy restaurants in adjacent areas.

That’s a shameful suggestion, but absolutely predictable. And it never fails … in spite of the overwhelming evidence which shows that cities and states with the most gun restrictions also experience the greatest amount of gun violence, but 2+2 can never equal 4,

One need only look at that reanimated corpse of a woman serving as Chicago’s Mayor for the answers. How long has she been dead anyway?

An interview with one of the people shot. He goes on to say this is the 8th time he has been shot. "I hate my city and I love my city" His words.

Chicago already has tough gun laws. And what makes you think its people will allow door to door searches?
Sounds Stalinist to me. More gun laws aren't going to solve this.

Has Biden ever gone to lay a wreath in Chicago or Waukesha? Nope, because he cannot move his hateful political agenda forward. He cannot falsely demonize Republicans, by acknowledging the deaths caused in those cities.

As shown, the situations as to where he did lay a wreath were different. You are being intellectually dishonest.

Chicago already has some extremely tough gun laws. In case you hadn’t notices, criminals don’t obey laws. Take guns away and they will find another way to kill. Encourage everyone in Chicago to get trained and carry would put a stop to this nonsense. The Buffalo shooter said he chose to shoot in NY because of the harsh carry laws. Also, let the f-ing police DO THEIR JOB. Support the police! Fire prosecutors who don’t prosecute and stop allowing outsiders to post bail for criminals. These things would go a long ways towards preventing some of these.

But no, Americans will never give up their guns nor should they. As soon as you do that you might as well bend over to big brother.

I just am impressed by how much you value Joe Biden's speeches. Do you find him to be a good speech maker that can move you emotionally? I wonder what it is that they can say in these speeches that you are so impressed by. I would think they would just become repetitive and without meaning.
When any politician makes a speech condemning violence, he/ she is doing nothing more than virtue signaling.

It does absolutely nothing to discourage future violence.

Since you don't believe in the US Constitution, you should seriously consider moving to a place like China (where there is no Gun Violence from Citizens).

Oh sure, you'll have to put up with Tyranny, a Communist Regime, Poverty, lack of opportunity and general Massive Citizen Depression---but i think you'll like it.
