Deaths are sad events in our lives. Especially when those who died are young people who died before their time. And among the most tragic are deaths of law enforcement officers gunned down during the line of duty working to be the good guy/gal to protect civilians.
And that last situation is the awful type of story that we’re talking about today. That and how the current resident of the White House is trying to use those deaths in a hypocritical way to push his political agendas.
Cortney Weil gives us the details of this horrible story:
Four law enforcement officers were killed in North Carolina on Monday and several more wounded as they attempted to serve a warrant in connection with illegal gun possession.
I’d like to think that we can all agree that this shouldn’t have happened, that these four law enforcement officers would still be alive today.
But, then, Joe Biden, of course, used this awful situation to push his agenda. Again, from Weil:
President Biden also weighed in, calling the fallen officers “heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice.” However, as is his wont, he then used the deadly incident to demand more gun laws. “Now,” he said.
“Leaders in Congress need to step up so that we ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of guns, and pass universal background checks and a national red flag law,” his statement continued.
“Enough is enough.”
Now, stop for a moment and think about this. Four officers died (and four others were wounded) while trying to enforce a gun control law. So, Biden’s response is to call for more gun control laws?
What a hypocrite.
And what a foolish thing to do. After all, criminals don’t obey gun laws (which is why this whole incident happened in the first place), so, implementing more gun control is likely to mean more lives lost.
And that simply should not be something that anyone wants to happen.
