Hours after the 18-year-old*gunman k*lled at least 20 children and 2 adults*at Uvalde elementary school in Texas, US President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Tuesday night, focusing on tighter gun control law.
“We as a nation have to ask when in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby. When in God’s name do we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?” he asked.
This has been the second mass shooting in 10 days following the*attack at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
According to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the suspected shooter was k*lled by police.
Biden spoke to Abbott and offered “any and all a*sistance he needs” in response to the shooting, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield said in a tweet.
Grief, shock, and outrage were spread through Uvalde, located just over an hour’s drive to the Mexico border, and evoked sad memories of Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. massacre that left 20 kids and 6 adults dead, and the Columbine High School shooting of 1999 that k*lled 12 students and one teacher

Biden told the victims' parents that losing a child is “like having a piece of your soul ripped away," ordering that the US flag at the White House be flown at half staff and upon public buildings and grounds.
The US president's attack on the US gun industry seemed to be half-hearted at best after he had been blaming*stalled progress on gun control measures*for years on the US Congress, while neither he nor his Democratic party - which has the majority- is unwilling to tackle this rampant issue.*
