I think that it's telling that, when you Google Eli Dicken with Biden, you quickly notice that the White House is silent. It's been several months since Dicken managed to take out a would-be mass shooter in fifteen seconds, because Dicken had a gun.
Biden has to pretend that this young man doesn't exist.
It's appalling that we still don't know anything about the gun that Dicken used, aside from the report that it was a Glock. But, most Glocks are chambered in 9mm, which Biden seems to think will rip your lung out of your body and is needlessly powerful (namely, he at least implied that Dicken shouldn't have had access). Dicken fired ten shots. Well, we can't have that because Biden doesn't think that we should have more than eight bullets in a round (his dumb words, not mine).
Dicken didn't take Biden's advice of getting a shotgun and blasting in the air if you're threatened -- he did the smart, responsible thing and aimed his gun at the threat, checked his background, and fired for effect.
The White House, and most of the corporate media, have to bury this. They have to take advantage of our short memories, because the truth doesn't fit the narrative.
This is the problem with people who have immense power spouting bullshit. Don't get me wrong, Republicans aren't off the hook here. Biden has made gun control a major political focus. Eli Dicken alone shows that Biden is wrong in about 90% of what he says about guns.
Dicken took the asshole out in fifteen seconds. The Uvalde police department took 77 minutes. If Biden got his way, we would make Dicken a felon, and rely on the Uvalde police department.
