Earlier this week, President Joe Biden didn’t mince any words when it came to the state of America with the rise of gun violence.
“Now’s the time to galvanize this movement because that’s our duty to the people of the nation. That’s what we owe those families in Buffalo, where a grocery store became a killing field. That’s what we owe those families in Uvalde, where an elementary school became a killing field. That’s what we owe those families in Highland Park, where on July Fourth, a parade became a killing field,” Biden said in his statement.
“That’s what we owe all those families represented here today and all over this country the past many years across our schools, places of worship, workplaces, stores, music festivals, nightclubs and so many other everyday places that have turned into killing fields.”
That said, some have begun questioning where the gun violence stems from, especially in a country where inflation is driving up prices to nearly unaffordable levels and post-pandemic life has still left some reeling.
Here to speak further on the matter now is Michael Letts, a pro-police advocate that serves as founder and CEO for InVest USA. They are an organization that provides bulletproof vests to police officers across the country, through various charitable foundations and sponsorships. His expertise should weigh heavily on this topic.
Q&A
- President Biden seems hellbent on stopping gun violence across the country, but doesn’t seem to be digging that deeply in changing some of his policies, which could be a factor into creating it. Do you think he should be working more on his policies?
- Biden also seems a little strenuous when it comes to helping out police forces across the country, especially Border Agents. Is it your belief that he’s taking care of his own needs over that of police officers?
- You’ve often stated that concealed-carry would go a long way into protecting citizens during active shooter events. Why do you believe it’s taking so long for the government to consider this as an option?
- Would that serve as a more viable solution compared to the outright banning of assault rifles that Biden is committed to doing?
- If you were in charge of changing the gun rules in this country, how would you go about it?
- Where can we learn more about In-Vest USA?
