He showed with this gun control call that he\u2019s more interested in pursuing an agenda that\u2019s rooted in ideological goals and not grounded in reality. Instead of pledging to hold criminals accountable for their actions and improve security at public schools, President Biden chose to placate the radical elements of his party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden used the tragic loss of 14 students and three adults at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School to press Congress for laws that would have done nothing to stop the murderer. He didn\u2019t once mention the need for justice to be served and the murderer to be held accountable in a courtroom, which still hasn\u2019t happened three years after his horrific crimes. President Biden chose to blame-shift. He called for retribution instead of accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His missed opportunity won\u2019t do anything to achieve the shared goal of reducing the criminal misuse of firearms. It will only infringe on the Second Amendment and leave law-abiding Americans defenseless against those who would prey upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background Checks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>President Biden called on Congress to pass a law requiring universal background checks. That ignores the fact that the murderer purchased his firearms&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2018\/02\/15\/florida-shooting-suspect-bought-gun-legally-authorities-say\/340606002\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-president-biden-chooses-malarkey-gun-control-over-real-solutions\" title=\"NSSF: President Biden Chooses 'Malarkey' Gun Control Over Real Solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legally<\/a>.<\/strong>&nbsp;He completed the background check forms and the retailers checked his information against the FBI\u2019s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Nothing in the system prohibited him from purchasing his firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not because the murderer didn\u2019t exhibit warning signs or give county, state and federal authorities reasons to intervene \u2013 even to the point of arrest and involuntary commitment to a mental health facility. Law enforcement had as many as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/02\/27\/us\/parkland-shooter-cruz-sheriff-calls-invs\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-president-biden-chooses-malarkey-gun-control-over-real-solutions\" title=\"NSSF: President Biden Chooses 'Malarkey' Gun Control Over Real Solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>45 instances<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0where they could have intervened, including an allegation that the murderer put a gun to his mother\u2019s head. That\u2019s a felony offense with a firearm. Yet, nothing was done. It is worth noting that at the time Florida already had a form of a so-called extreme risk protective order law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/century-arms-ap5-lineup\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-president-biden-chooses-malarkey-gun-control-over-real-solutions\" title=\"NSSF: President Biden Chooses 'Malarkey' Gun Control Over Real Solutions\">Century Arms Launches AP5 Lineup of Roller-Delayed Blowback Firearms!<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The murderer also gave enough warning signs that fellow students reported him.
