The president also lashed out at a purported lack of action to take guns away from law-abiding citizens, while continuing to blast lobbyists for the problem.
“But these mass shootings never happened with the kind of frequency that happened in America?” he also said. “Why? Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen?”
“Where in God’s name is our backbone?” he went on. “To have the courage to deal with it and stand up to the lobbyists?”
“It’s time to take this pain and turn it into action,” he said.
“I’m sick and tired, we have to act,” he added.

Biden wasn’t alone in exhorting Americans to issue more laws to purportedly address the mass shooting problem.
There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

“14 kids dead in an elementary school in Texas right now. What are we doing? What are we doing? … We have another Sandy Hook on our hands. What are we doing? … What are we doing? … What are we doing?”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical.

We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

Children need protection and it is not by more laws, more lockdowns, more masks, more injections, more fear, more hate, more control and more confusion as we allow them to be separated from life. Awaken. No one is asking why this happened, what would cause one child to do harm to other children? This has never happened so frequently as in the LAST COUPLE OF YEARS – hint – be aware. It is in our face.
