Following the murder of six individuals at Nashville’s Covenant School, including three children, Biden made these comments.
Also, he urged Congress to approve a law banning assault weapons and mentioned that the Nashville shooter reportedly owned two assault rifles and a pistol.
Biden made the following remarks at the Small Business Administration’s Women’s Business Summit: “It’s just sick. You know, we’re still gathering the facts of what happened and why. And we do know that, as of now, there are a number of people who are not going to, did not make it, including children. And it’s heartbreaking. A family’s worst nightmare.”
The US President praised the police for acting quickly to end the danger. He said, “We’re monitoring the situation closely, Ben, as you know, and we have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation ripping at the very soul of the nation. And we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons.”
Biden stated: “the shooter in this situation reportedly had two assault weapons and a pistol two AK-47. So I call on Congress, again, to pass my assault weapons ban. It’s about time that we begin to make some more progress.”
