Biden said that FBI background checks do not stop illegal purchases and indicated that the answer is to take guns away and off streets.
“You can't stop something like this if someone is on the street buying something from somebody else on the street. Except that there's too — there's so many guns that have been sold of late; it's just ridiculous,” Biden said.
“And it's because of the failure of us to focus as hard as we should and as consistent as we should on gun purchases, gun sales, ghost guns, and a whole range of things that I'm trying to do,” he added.
While Biden's rhetoric was decidedly anti-gun, 2021 went down as the second-busiest year on record for firearm sales. Moreover, one-fifth of those who purchased guns were first-time buyers. (RELATED: New Survey Reveals Where Americans Stand on Guns)
Biden has previously called on Congress to “take immediate action and heed the call of the American people, including the vast majority of gun owners, to help end this epidemic of gun violence in America.”
