Proclamation Honoring The Victims Of The Tragedy In Uvalde, Texas

Uvalde, TX...As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on May 24, 2022, by a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, May 28, 2022. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.





IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-sixth.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

The media needs to replay all the videos of the republican governors, senators and representatives who have continually said - and on tape - they do not want gun control! The NRA votes and funding to them are more important than gun control and peoples lives. The democrats WANT gun control - the republicans do NOT!!

    If only, every person carried a gun, these idiots would stop the nonsense! Like the guy and two females kicked the robbers out of the jewelry store yesterday! Nothing but punks doing stupid stuff. So many guns in responsible owners homes, no way to collect them! Mental illness, major problem, drugs, major problem, no morals or ethics, major problem indeed! Economy, thank Joe Biden, major problem indeed!!

Here is a place to start: If you have a friend, co-worker, a family member, and so on, and they are demonstrating aggressive behaviors, and have access to weapons, watch them closely, and make the call! You may save a life or many lives!
How many of you that own guns got up this morning, decided today was the day to kill Grandma, and as many kids at the local school? Hopefully none of you, my point, it is the adults responsibility to turn even your own child in if you have too!
Our World is a sick place, I have no idea what these poor parents are going through, and those of us that have a Lord and Savior, get on your knees for these victims and pray that comfort will come their way!
No gun control is going to protect anyone in this world, but vigilance will certainly help!

    There is no place to start: correct, beyond repair in my eyes! I would close all schools and promote home schooling. Our tax money is peanuts going to schools. Look at the lottery! Nothing but a rip off. No honesty within most states (DEMOCRATS) are responsible for the mess our nation is in. Just can’t fix stupid, gotta laugh. Not good!

No more schools should be built in this state or any state that isn’t under one roof! California is a prime example of poor school planning. Spread your campus out over 20 acres, now try to decide how you are going to protect it!, granted, many of our schools weren’t built with kind of crisis in mind, but it is time to build new schools under one roof, with just a few places of entry and exit.
This shooter was dusted by an armed Border Patrol agent, atleast that is my understanding. Not one shooter, be it in a super market , school, sporting event should ever be spared, and if you want to take the risk,your life will be taken, you will never leave that site alive!

    So we have to go to all this preemptive planning and trouble because we know someone is going to "dust" up a school??? Pathetic logic. Only in AmeriKKKA. Total bs arguments.

      NO SENSIBLE FIREARM LEGISLATION HAS BEEN PASSED IN RECENT PAST BECAUSE OF THE OBSTRUCTIONIST REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE AND SENDATE. LED BY MITCH ' WHO CARES IF KIDS DIE AS LONG AS I GET MONEY FROM THE NRA' MCCONNEL HAS VOWED TO FIGHT ANYTHING, REPEAT ANYTHING, DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE. THE NRA OWNS MCCONNEL, CRUZ, JORDAN, MTJ, ETC. THE REPUBLICANS REFUSE, YES REFUSE TO BACK ANY LOGICAL GUN CONTROL. ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE NRA BIG BUCKS. THATS WHO IS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SICKENING RECURRING KILLINGS. BLAME REPUBLICANS. ITS THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SOMETIMES HURTS.

          This is what it has come to. You are a child, you get slaughtered by a wack job with a weapon, you get a proclimation. Think about that people.

            ^Until Republicans release their stranglehold barring any reasonable gun control legislation, proclamations and public education are about all Biden and gun control advocates can do.
            What should they do? Go to the Republican national convention or the NRA convention and kill 20 or 30 people with ARs and Glocks?
            Think that might change some thinking?

The fanatical christofascists love school shooting because they think there will be a huge backlash against public schools, and they will gain support for the voucher system. That way they can indoctrinate the young from kindergarten on, not teach math and science and maybe in a few years deny education to girls, all on the taxpayer's dime.
