elementary school massacre while angrily calling out the gun lobby and manufacturers, saying that it was “time to act.”
He said that “if an 18-year-old can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons, it’s just wrong. What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone? Deer aren’t running through the forests with kevlar vests on, for God’s sake. It’s just sick.”Authorities say that 18 children and one adult were killed when the gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Ulvalde, TX.
When he was vice president, Biden led a task force on gun violence following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, CT, in which 20 students and six adults were shot and killed. But gun reform measures stalled in the Senate. Since then, Biden said on Tuesday, there have been 900 incidents of gun fire reported on school grounds.
“The gun manufacturers have spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons, which make them the most and largest profit,” he said. “For God’s sake, we have to have the courage to stand up to the industry.”
