Joe Biden Blames Guns for Crime Wave in Democrat-Run Cities: ‘The Answer Is Not to Defund the Police’Charlie Spiering 3 Feb 2022
President Joe Biden met with New York Democrats on Thursday, blaming the number of available guns in New York City for the dramatic rise in crime.
The president indicated that Republicans were blocking gun control measures in Congress, allowing the rise in gun crime to continue.
“Enough is enough,” Biden said angrily. “Because we know we can do things about this, but for the resistance, we’re getting from some sectors of the government and the congress and the state legislatures, and the organizational structures out there.”
Six NYPD police officers have been shot by criminals already in 2022 amidst rising crime rates in New York City. Two officers, Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora, were shot and killed in the line of duty after responding to a 911 call.
A group of New York City Police officers sat in chairs behind Biden as he spoke about the deaths of the two officers who were shot and killed in the month of January.
Biden repeated he was not looking to defund the police but wanted to spend more money hiring “beyond someone with a gun strapped their shoulder, to their hip.”
“We need more social workers. We need more mental health workers,” he said.
