President Joe Biden on Feb. 14 urged Congress to strengthen existing laws concerning gun ownership on the third anniversary of the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
“The Parkland students and so many other young people across the country who have experienced gun violence are carrying forward the history of the American journey. It is a history written by young people in each generation who challenged prevailing dogma to demand a simple truth: we can do better. And we will,” Biden said in a statement.
“This Administration will not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that call. We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer. Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
In the afternoon of Feb. 14, 2018, a man identified by authorities as Nikolas Cruz, now 22, walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and opened fire with an AR-15 rifle. The shooting left 17 dead, including 14 students. Cruz, who is currently awaiting trial, could face the death penalty.
After the shooting, a number of Parkland students and parents began agitating for stricter gun control laws, arguing that Cruz shouldn’t have been able to obtain a gun. But others pointed to failures by law enforcement, including safety officer Scot Peterson, who has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges for not entering the school building to confront Cruz, and urged restraint on new measures.

Any unconstitutional law is not the answer and should not even be codified. IMHO
Don't they listen. Most mass killings do not occur with legally bought guns. They are usually stolen. A lot come accross the southern border, which could be stopped by finishing the wall. The old man in the WH just don't seem to be able to understand that.
It's clear that the idiot Dems think that the Constitution does not apply to them, since they have cheated their way back into power by election fraud.
SCOTUS needs to do their job, if they don't, it will be time to head for the hills.
The Supreme Cowardace Court doesn't care about the CONSTUTION ( with the exception of Alito, an Thomas). The lest caring for the CONSTITUTION is Roberts, he has proven that time and again!
You should fear a Government that fears an armed citizenry!
The new Government is defenitely in fear of WE THE PEOPLE!
JoeBama is an opportunist, a liar, and a plagiarist, and will say anything to promote his personal and political well being regardless of the law.
We CANNOT let them disarm us. We CANNOT!
The Congress is under the control of the Marxist Democrat Party... they will disarm us and the SCOTUS is likely to uphold their act as it is totally worthless as a body of judges.... totally unpredictable and without any grounding in Constitutional law... they make up the law as they go... finding new law where none exist. Get rid of them all... and pass new legislation to restrict their jurisdiction to the case before them and no further... no more universal orders or judgments. Cases in law must be decided individually and applied only to that case.
If the SCOTUS finds a law unconstitutional... let Congress take it under advisement and if they agree they can amend or repeal the law... DO NOT PERMIT THE JUDICIARY TO REWRITE OR CREATE NEW LAW... restrict their findings/jurisdiction to the case in law before them and no further.
Col. I do not think we have ONE trustworthy institution in the USA any longer. They've destroyed or tainted all of them.
