NO SHAME: Joe Biden Calls For Stricter Gun Control After Pardoning Son for Gun Crimes

It doesn’t get any more hypocritical than this.

Following the school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, Joe Biden is pushing for more gun control.

Here’s his statement:

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported:

Responding to a deadly school shooting in Madison, President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass universal background checks, a national red flag law and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Three people are dead, including a suspected juvenile shooter, and six others were injured in the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School.

“We need Congress to act. Now. From Newtown to Uvalde, Parkland to Madison, to so many other shootings that don’t receive attention — it is unacceptable that we are unable to protect our children from this scourge of gun violence. We cannot continue to accept it as normal,” Biden said in a statement.

“Every child deserves to feel safe in their classroom. Students across our country should be learning how to read and write – not having to learn how to duck and cover.”

In his statement, Biden said he and first lady Jill Biden are praying for all of the shooting victims. He also expressed gratitude to the first responders who arrived quickly on the scene. The FBI is supporting local law enforcement efforts, he said, adding that, at his direction, his team also has reached out to local officials to offer further support as needed.

This is just weeks after pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted for several gun-related crimes, among others.

Hunter Biden lied on a federal gun background check form in order to buy a gun, then he got his girlfriend to throw it away in a trash can at a gas station close to a school.

Yet, he gets a pardon from daddy.

The rest of us, though?

Yeah, we need more, stricter gun control…

Folks on X were quick to point out the hypocrisy here:

Weird how he just pardoned his kid for violating gun laws already on the books.

Oh, so now gun laws are important, @JoeBiden? Just not when your son is violating them, apparently.

Gun safety laws?
Like, don’t throw your illegally owned gun in a trash can near a school?

Like that? Or what?
