In response to press questions after his remarks on the hostage situation at a synagogue in Texas this past weekend, President Joe Biden stated a truth about gun control the left rarely admits. When asked if this event would affect the push to ensure guns aren’t available, Biden said that “you can’t stop something like this if someone is on the street buying something from somebody else on the street.”
The president is correct, of course – but that knowledge never dissuaded Democrats bent on disarming the people before, and there’s no reason to assume it will now.
On Dec. 29, 2021, a British national landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. By Jan. 15, he had made his way to Colleyville, TX, where he held four people at gunpoint in a synagogue and demanded the release of a woman serving a federal prison sentence for trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan. After a nearly 11-hour standoff, the FBI hostage rescue team did as its name suggests: rescued the hostages.
The suspect was shot dead in the process.
