Joe Biden says families who leave guns unlocked should be held ‘responsible’ in first remarks after Hunter's verdict
Joe Biden has demanded that families who leave guns unlocked be punished. These public remarks, made on Tuesday, June 11, were his first after his son Hunter Biden was convicted of three felonies.
“It’s time we establish universal background checks — and by the way, and require the safe storage of firearms,” the president, 81, said at a pro-gun control conference held a few blocks from the White House. “We should hold families responsible if they don’t provide those locks on those guns.”
Biden added that he had visited three “major crime scenes” where “the mother or father left open — left stuff out on the desk, left it out on the table and the kid came out and used it.” However, he refrained from directly addressing his son’s guilty verdict during the pre-scheduled speech, delivered to the group Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit founded by Michael Bloomberg, a former New York City Mayor.
Joe Biden’s public show of support for son Hunter
Shortly after Hunter’s guilty verdict, Biden broke his silence, saying in a statement, as per AFP, “I am the President, but I am also a Dad. So many families whose loved ones have struggled with addiction know the pride that comes with seeing a loved one be so strong and resilient in overcoming addiction and recovering. "I accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Mr. Hunter considers his appeal." The President then visited Wilmington, Delaware to comfort his son, before arranging a photo op at the Delaware Air National Guard airport. He was also seen at the airport hugging Hunter and speaking to him for a few minutes in a public show of support. Hunter's wife, Melissa Cohen, and their 4-year-old son, Beau, were also present for the conversation.
