“I’m tired, we have to act” on weapons. This was stated by Joe Biden addressing the Americans after the massacre in the Texas elementary school, where an 18-year-old killed 18 children. “The notion that an 18-year-old could walk into a store and buy a shotgun is wrong,” adds Biden, alongside First Lady Jill Biden.
On weapons “we can do more and we must do more. When for heaven’s sake will we face the weapons lobby?”, Adds Biden obviously shaken and with tears in his eyes. As Vice President Biden had experienced firsthand the massacre at the Sandy Hook elementary school, calling it one of the darkest periods of the eight years of Obama’s presidency.
“I was hoping when I became president that I wouldn’t have to do this one more time. It’s time to turn pain into action, and do it for every parent and every citizen of this country,” adds Biden, calling for common sense gun laws. facing a lobby that has spent two decades aggressively promoting assault weapons. “Why do we want to live with this carnage? Why do we keep allowing this to happen? For God’s sake where is our backbone?”
