When Joe Biden stole the White House, one of his biggest agendas was to reduce gun-related violence. He has issued numerous executive orders and signed a gun control bill he claimed was the “most comprehensive” in decades, that he said would make everyone safer. As it turns out, people are getting shot to death at a record rate under his reign, so this is just another area in which he has failed.
Forbes published this ridiculous thing that plays loose with facts, but still manages to show what a failure Joe Biden is. First, let’s take a look at the bullshit:
More than 500 people have been killed in mass shootings so far this year, the most through the end of August in at least 10 years, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, following a series of shootings this month, including in Jacksonville, Florida, Louisville, Kentucky, Boston and Seattle.
There have been 476 mass shootings since January 1, according to the Gun Violence Archive…
Those attacks left a total of 508 people killed…
A mass shooting, as defined by the FBI, is a continuous event, perpetrated by a single shooter, in which three or more people, not including the shooter, are killed. If there were 476 mass shootings this year so far, the bare minimum number of victims would be 1,428. Obviously, the Gun Violence archive has a different definition of mass shooting, that doesn’t align with reality.
Bullshit aside, this Forbes article accidentally shows what an ineffective leader Joe Biden is:
Those attacks left a total of 508 people killed, above the 434 killed in mass shootings at this point last year, the 449 killed at this point in 2021 and the 321 killed through August 29, 2020, and the figure is nearly double the number of people killed in mass shootings in 2019 (266), according to the GVA, which started tracking shooting data in 2013.
So, mass shootings are double what they were in 2019? Wasn’t that when Donald Trump was president? Here’s a fun fact: everything has doubled since Biden stole the election: the price of food, housing, gas, utilities, etc…
It gets even more unintentionally funny with this:
In response to a string of shootings earlier this year, President Joe Biden announced a new set of gun control measures in March, issuing an executive order to expand background checks for people selling firearms and directing the attorney general’s office to develop plans to prevent dealers with revoked licenses from selling firearms. That announcement was the latest in a series of measures aimed at curbing gun violence, including the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which Biden signed into law last June, tightening gun control measures including by closing the so-called boyfriend loophole that had allowed domestic abusers to own guns.
To sum up: Joe Biden did a bunch of stuff to reduce gun-related violence but instead the number of people getting shot to death has doubled. Forbes set out to write a gun control article but instead came up with yet another thing Joe Biden sucks at.
This does however put this hilarious lie into perspective:

Kamaltoe gets half-credit on a technicality. Biden has lowered the costs for some Americans because so many more Americans have been killed during his White House occupation. People don’t need to spend a dime when they’re dead, so their costs have been lowered to the extreme.
